During Rewire Festival (April 4-6), once again Quartair will host the joint exhibition program by iii, Proximity Music: Echoes of Entropy. For this year, iii has selected artist Ioana Vreme Moser to present Fluid Anatomy at our project space.
Powered entirely by water and air, Ioana Vreme Moser’s Fluid Anatomy uses oscillators, valves, pumps, and connecting hoses to create a dynamic analogue installation responding to the environment of Quartair. Taking inspiration from mid-twentieth century “liquid computers” (powered by the flow of liquids), Vreme Moser highlights the beauty and resilience of this alternative computational model to question present-day technological narratives. As the installation passes from one rhythmic pattern to another, the public is invited to walk amongst fragile fluidic bodies and experience the intriguing play of forms and sounds that water and air produce.
Ioana Vreme Moser is a Romanian sound artist interested in hardware electronics, speculative research, and tactile experimentation. In her practice, she uses rough electronic processes to obtain different materialities of sound. She places electronic components and control voltages in different situations of interaction with her body, organic materials, and environmental stimuli. Vreme Moser’s works feature personal narrations and observations on the history of electronics, and their production chains, wastelands, and entanglements in the natural world.
The installation is produced and curated by singuhr projekte, with support of Musikfonds, Bezirksamt Pankow, Berlin. Technical support: Dorian Largen, Jan Rohmer, FabLab.ro. And special thanks for research support: Benjamin Bühling
Proximity Music: Echoes of Entropy presents a series of works that help us understand how chaos and entropy act as forces of creation and catalysts for change while critically examining their impact on our present-day world. Drawing inspiration from the second law of thermodynamics, where entropy signifies the inevitable drift towards disorder, the artists delve into the consequences of these forces on our environment, socio-political systems, and human interactions. Taking these complex and ephemeral relationships as their starting point, the participating artists make chaos tangible by navigating the complex interplay between disorder, chance, and creation. Rather than evoking fear, the works embrace unpredictability and the beauty of uncontrollability. Curated by Yannik Güldner, featuring works by Zimoun, Navid Navab, Natalia (Nika) Sorzano, Ioana Vreme Moser, Coralie Vogelaar, Chris Salter & Marije Baalman, Aura Satz.
Entrance to the Proximity Music exhibition is free. Opening hours: from 12:00 to 20:00.
Proximity Music is the joint exhibition program initiated by iii and Rewire. It seeks to connect music, architecture, technology, ritual, and play through physical experiences engaging with all the senses.
