Examples of the chosen approach

Machone @ X apartments

In June 2004, artists, film and theater makers left the Black Box Theater to play in private apartments in the Berlin districts of Kreuzberg and Lichtenberg. The visitors went in pairs on a course that leads them through the apartments.

Julian Klein and Hannah Groninger installed a “real-fictional” flat- sharing community in the rooms of the Kreuzberg hip- hopper Machone and Juscha for about a week . The result was a permanent party with characters and music from the lives of the residents.

One of the highlights of the first HAU season ... On the way, the strange fellow spectator became a sparring partner who helped interpret every new story. Who, for example, in the dirty flat shared with children, in which Hannah Groninger and Julian Klein had intervened, was an acting student, who was an original resident? ... On this socially utopian walk through Kreuzberg, the boundaries between reality and art began to vibrate. (Eva Behrendt, theater heute yearbook, “The theater of the year 2004”, Hebbel am Ufer (HAU)).

Brain study

The "installation for networked brain players" Brain study (radio version: hr 2001, performance version: MaerzMusik 2004) is a sound installation developed in collaboration with brain researcher Marc Bangert ( Harvard University , USA), in which an ensemble of performers Forms a model of a brain . Their brain activity is measured by EEG and translated into sound and light projections with the help of software. The biological rhythms remain unchanged; they form the sound material of the installation. The players used acoustic biofeedback to train them to control their brain waves . They are networked with one another in such a way that they communicate with one another through their activity like functional areas of a brain. A neural network of brains is created that can behave like a simple brain: it processes perceptions , calls up memories from its memory and possesses emotional states .
