Christian Faubel: Songs from My Analogue Utopia

In Songs from My Analogue Utopia I explore the self-organizing coordination dynamics of analog oscillators and the Utopian potentials of analogue communication. In analogue communication synchronization results from the mutual interaction of two or more processes, not a single process is dominating the other. It is in the mutuality and in the degrees of freedom of each participating process where I see the Utopian potential of analogue communication. I undertake this exploration on the screen of an overhead projector where I place little motors driven by analogue oscillators. The motors hit on rubber bands that are equipped with piezo-pickups, rendering the rhythmical hitting of the motors into sound and shadow play.
