8ight, Infinite Loop
The exhibition unites works by eight artists who have previously presented individual installations at frei-raum.berlin, each piece reflecting the central themes of systems and infinity through the progressive growth of acoustic sources.
The works span from Daria Redkina's "Air'Finite," where weather balloons transform into musical instruments through electro-mechanical systems, making air audible through breathing sounds and reed vibrations, to mergrim's "51.428571428571429," born from mathematical imperfection. Here, seven speakers arranged in a circle emit a loop every 5.14 seconds, producing an ever-evolving sonic landscape. This mathematical approach converges with Cem 脟akmak's "Beating Variations, 60-80Hz," where you physically experience bass frequencies through two modified floor panels, becoming part of the wave patterns generated through acoustic interference.
The concept of cycles unfolds in Varoujan Chetirian's "The Distance Between" for five sound sources, where sound journeys through space and time. Echoes and reverberations bridge past and present, while archival voices and current field recordings from a decaying Armenian space center permeate the room. The Acoustic Heritage Collective's "Notes on Narrow Backroads" weaves a spatial narrative inspired by *Matsuo Basho's* travel writings through six sound sources. The installation creates a polyphonic landscape that shifts with every movement in the space.
