0.05RPM

installation / video

2013


0.05RPM is a mixed media installation and consits of a video (12`10), an artefakt (microphone) and a vinyl record.

 

the installation deals with terms of field recording and concrete sounds.

while the viennese ringstraße gets transfered into a record, the physical world, with all its structures, is used as a sound storage medium.

 

the destructed microphone documents the performance as an artefakt within the installation, as well as a vinyl record, that uses the viennese city map as a sound source.
