A solar powered sound installation
Sun Boxes by Craig Colorusso are an environment to enter and exit at will. It’s comprised of twenty speakers operating independently, each powered by the sun via solar panels. There is a different loop set to play a guitar note in each box continuously. These guitar notes collectively make a Bb chord. Because the loops are different in length, once the piece begins they continually overlap and the piece slowly evolves over time.
The sounds of Sun Boxes have been described as both soothing and energizing. A unique combination of adjectives often used to describe yoga, or meditation. When experiencing the piece, Sun Boxes allows the participant to slow down, and notice the subtleties of the composition unfold. With the abundance of technology and hustle of this culture it is a much needed concept to not only be allowed, but also encouraged to slow down.

Invoxicated - Interactive Play Sculpture by Karl-Johan Ekeroth
Who doesn’t remember makeshift telephones made of wire and cans? The Invoxicated interactive play sculpture is a bit like that, but a bit more complex, a lot cooler looking, and it actually works! Children can explore the playful qualities of sound by talking into one end of the sculpture to produce sound for the listener on the other end. By bending parts of the sculpture and pressing its various buttons, a multitude of sound effects can be achieved in real time.

Musik und inszenierte Körper
Im Zeitalter der Neuen Medien hat sich unsere Beziehung zum menschlichen Körper verändert. Jahrhunderte lang blieb, durch Religionsverbote, der Körper tabu und versteckt. In der Kunst durfte er sich nur in eingeschränkten Rahmen bewegen. In einem Tanz, in der Musik, im Theater, musste der Körper bestimmten Regeln folgen, die Choreographie, die Partitur und den Dirigent, den Regisseur und den Text. Erst im 20. Jahrhundert, vor allem ab den 50'er Jahren, entwickelte sich unsere Verhältnis zum Körper. In Amerika, befreite der Jazz den Körper und bindet ihn an die Musik, der Körper wird für sich selbst beachtet. Der Körper hat neue Funktionen gefunden und stellt uns zahlreiche Fragen: Frage der Identität: bin ich mein Körper, gehöre ich zu ihm, oder gehört er mir? Frage der Grenze zwischen dem Realen und dem Virtuellen, dem Individuum und der Gruppe. Anhand Beispielen der modernen Kunst (Musikvideos; Installationen) werde ich die Rolle des Körper untersuchen. Die drei folgenden Kapitel sollen uns führen: Körper als Instrument, Körper in Bewegung und rekonstruierte Körper.
