Repeat
Fast asleep and fastened by wakes
Sending signal songs

Regard
The atlas of broken waves
In
The archive of insides
(a drowning ocean)
The index of sunken things

As if rivers run through me
(away anyway)
As if flood fills me
As if birds bear messages

Calling the local observer
Enemies of eternity
Calling whatever may disappear here
Calling it a night

Beware of the sirens

Delta Aurigae is an installation which deals with the periodic coalescence of opposite aggregate states, based on and structured by the rhythm of a double star system like the constellation Auriga.

A world populated by meanders and monoliths, meteors and menhirs that draws inspiration from ancient astrology which was using rock formations and natural objects to decipher the universe and measure it’s cycles.

Delta Aurigae is a hybrid between installation and performance, a stage with a life of its own. In idle mode it shows a slow and majestic flow like a glacier, where fringes blur and relations vanish.

A monolith itself, Delta Aurigae is a 4.5m high triangle with a real-time projection.
Made with VVVV & Reaktor.

o-O-orbiting the delta skelta
In merry barycenter go-rounds.
Let’s build a whole city of glass houses, only a stone’s throw away
To regard the light night sky, dive drown
Dissolving vis-à-vis-viva equators
In our monolitheral observatory.
We will, we will…

Glyph is a projection sculpture with references to ritual monuments such as obelisks or stelas. It deals with cyclic change and constantly regenerates itself. An alphabet based on fundamental geometric shapes (rectangle, circle and triangle) acts as an communication device as well as a pure aesthetic element. All texts displayed are permanently evolving and restructured based on linguistic rules.
The installation runs in realtime – the video shows a random segment recorded at schmiede 2011.

I

glyph cleavage

like man-high menhirs
one line unbroken
heading for a fold

in the ministry of mist
a high official locks the primary gate
seals it thoroughly with wax
as he does every evening
thinking about molten rocks
and flocks therof

fold what you have at hand
if nothing
for a fold creates a separation that is an union that is a divide that is a joint

for nothing is ever so insisting as an unbridged gap

At
the atoms’ of words nightly fission
demounted scriptures
let letters
be
and build.

A Kohen’s head leaking
kowtow prostration high I rise downlift
in steadfast decline
loose faith and lost face
An arbitrary figure
crouched in covered crevices
sleeps,
calmed by the superiority of imaginary numbers

unscramble the
low tower password
tear open a portable peakhole
flood it with a froth of (moth) light
Down the lightwell, white
like loitering in literal tunnelfunnels

for it may be found not on the surface but within
not on the peak but above
not on the ground but underneath

subterranean alps
and towers piercing the earth
for every pit you dig, erect a mountain

humbly construct folds, to create in-between spaces
and aptly distortions -
then hide whole chunks of space within its pleats
and time , what else
a room for concealment, unlonged for.

a realm subject to
negotiation

We are currently working on Glyph to be presented together with Δ Aurigæ at

A midlight sun dialling.
One finds night (daily)
In roughly hewn shards afterwards.
Abraded amongst tectonic all-time blocks
It’s yet a shadow, that marks the clocks.
until
A wake of sleep washes over one
In my unrestlessness mass.

a jinxed sphinx’ reflection
on and of symbolic boulders
of syzygymnastic systematics

_
hear, hear

A well preserved winter in fooled bloom
A restless forest – internal like an organ
(And played alike)
Ending, like always, with the sun.

in a delicate moment of distress.
