SPIN

Gilles Deleuze Felix Guattari – Thousand Plateaus

With their new work SPIN, visual artist Lucas Gutierrez and composer Robert Lippok conduct their interdisciplinary research in the fields of time, nature and technology. The terms Physis / φύσις (nature) and Téchne / τέχνη (art and craft), as used by Aris- totle in his treatise
Physics, became a trigger point for the development of this audio-visual installation.

“The critical distinction between art and nature concerns their different efficient caus- es: nature is its own source of motion, whereas techne always requires a source of motion outside itself.“

The two bodies with their primeval appearance build a mechanism to layer the sounds of everyday life. Within the rings, SPIN becomes a listening space where sounds of nature and civilization meet and chaos, silence, wilderness, evolution, disaster, are in constant motion.
