Audio/video noise performance, 2019
Following the no-input approach, Stefan Tiefengraber is generating sound and video using only the inherent noise from two devices, a digital video mixer and a digital audio mixer. By connecting each mixer’s outputs directly to its own inputs, as well as transforming the video signals to audio signals, and the other way around, these two formerly widespread but now outdated devices, are brought back to life.
The feedback loops enable the artist to use the built-in effects, equalizer and video transitions to force and push the mixers far beyond their usual operating conditions. This leads to new and unexpected results – a continuous blast of pure noise and flickering images.
A broad spectrum of frequencies, combined with the video image, flows into the concert space, creating an immersive experience with a strong effect on the audience.
Biografie:
Stefan Tiefengraber (AT) lives and works in Linz, Austria. His work ranges from kinetic sound installations and interactive installations to audio / video noise performances. Tiefengraber experiments with the modification of devices, which are originally manufactured for different purposes. Combined with the perception of the audience, this experimental exploration of old and new materials leads him to new and unpredictable results.
