Lecture Performance organized by »Object Space Agency« during Berlin Science Week 2023. Kunst- und Bildgeschichte, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Rüdiger Wenk | Christian Stein, Elias Wessel, Rüdiger Wenk, Claudia Blümle, Felix Becker, Fabian Hub.

Abstract Visual Associations (all images © 2023 Rüdiger Wenk)

In the lecture performance, Rüdiger Wenk will present his auditive associations of images in the plural based on his cybernetic algorithm as part of analog sound synthesis. Rüdiger Wenk first explains the basics of his cybernetic algorithm consisting of envelope follower (signal input), modal synthesis (body), and asynchronous granular synthesis (space) in the context of feedback within this current lecture performance.

The lectures on association in the context of image theory will evolve fluidly from linguistic lectures to sound art performances as each association unfolds. One auditive association will emerge from contemplating two artistic positions, paintings by artists Felix Becker and Fabian Hub. The second auditive association will relate to the video work Schöne neue Welt – The Moving Images (2020–2021) by Elias Wessel. The visual works, shown as part of Berlin Science Week 2023 by the Institute of Art History of Humboldt University in cooperation with Object Space Agency on November 7th, will be on view in the Medientheater starting at 6:30 pm.

The lecture performance will start with a welcome and introduction by Prof. Dr. Claudia Blümle, at 6.30 pm. After a short break, Christian Stein will introduce the second part of the event that will close with a Q&A round at 8.00 pm. From 8.30 pm, the evening will end with a get-together.
