CLIENT: SCHAUWERK SINDELFINGEN

22. SEPTEMBER 2024 TO 27. APRIL 2025

From 22 September 2024, SCHAUWERK Sindelfingen will be showing works by four artists who were guests at the Schaufler Lab between 2020 and 2024 and explored the question of how artificial intelligence is changing cultural and social structures in this first funding phase. The exhibition can be visited until 27 April 2025.

Esmeralda Conde Ruiz is an award-winning interdisciplinary composer and audiovisual artist. For the site-specific multi-channel installation 24/7, Conde Ruiz combined sound recordings from the TU Dresden computer centre with the human voice. The sounds develop into a human-machine chorus that hums, booms and vibrates.
Christian Kosmas Mayer presents projects that are the result of extensive artistic research and intensive historical and contemporary research. In the exhibition space, Mayer combines items on loan from the TU Dresden’s historical acoustic-phonetic collection with objects he has specially created on a 3D printer, among other things. Scientific exhibits meet Mayer’s artistic artefacts here.
Rosa Barba’s work explores the relationship between film, space and the viewer. SCHAUWERK Sindelfingen is showing her video work Inside the Outset: Evoking a Space of Passage, which was created in Cyprus in 2021. In the abandoned UN buffer zone, a so-called ‘Green Line’ that has separated the north and south of the island since 1974, she created a circular open-air cinema.
235 Media supported the artists in their process and provided the media technology for the installations.

MuLu, Fluxus and Beyond

Posted by Lina Heuschen

Client: Museum Ludwig, Cologne
OCTOBER 2024 – FEBRUARY 2025

The exhibition “Fluxus and beyond: Ursula Burghardt, Benjamin Patterson ” at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne sheds light on the influential art movement of the 1960s known as Fluxus. The focus is on the works of Ursula Burghardt (1928-2008) and Benjamin Patterson (1934-2016), who were both associated with the Fluxus network.

Fluxus was characterized by actions and performances that merged art and life as well as different media. Cologne was a center of this movement in the 1960s, particularly due to the WDR’s Studio for Electronic Music and the studio of artist Mary Bauermeister, where numerous events took place. It was here that Burghardt and Patterson met in person in 1960.

The exhibition runs from 12 October 2024 to 9 February 2025 and is accompanied by an extensive supporting program of concerts, readings and workshops.

235 Media installed the media technology, consisting of media players, projectors, displays and sound. We also recorded the media players and made adjustments to the content.

Client: Museum Ostwall

APRIL – AUGUST 2024

The exhibition “Kopfüber in die Kunst” at the Museum Ostwall in the Dortmunder U allows visitors to become part of the art. The audience is transformed from passive viewers into active participants who can use all their senses to immerse themselves in the artwork – physical engagement thus becomes an essential part of the artistic process.

Among the highlights of the exhibition are the works of Joon Moon, whose installation “Chasing Stars in Shadow” (2021) tells a story about “shadow children” who switch back and forth between 2D and 3D. Visitors are invited to free the children from the second dimension with the help of a lantern and through movement.

Equally impressive is the immersive space “Field” by Design I/O, in which you can create plant worlds through movement and interaction. Field is a dynamic and constantly changing interactive ecosystem of flowing color particles.

235 Media supported the two artists in their process and provided the media technology for the installations.

APRIL 18 – OCTOBER 13, 2024

The special exhibition “Kant 300: A Life in Königsberg” at the East Prussian State Museum in Lüneburg paid tribute to the important philosopher on the occasion of Immanuel Kant’s 300th birthday. The exhibition ran from April 18 to October 13, 2024 and offered a comprehensive insight into Kant’s life and work in his hometown of Königsberg.

The exhibition focused on unique original objects, some of which were presented to the public for the first time. These included personal items such as Kant’s walking stick, locks of hair, oil paintings and the “Kant glass” with individual engravings. These exhibits conveyed a vivid picture of Kant the man, apart from his philosophical works.

The exhibition also served as a preview of the museum’s planned permanent exhibition, which will take a closer look at Kant’s philosophy and its relevance today. With this special exhibition, the East Prussian State Museum offered a comprehensive and multifaceted view of Immanuel Kant that was accessible to both connoisseurs and the general public.

Client: Die LutherMuseen
01 DEZEMBER 2023 – 06 JANUAR 2025

The Luther House was built in 1504 as the original Augustinian monastery and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. It was given its current name because Martin Luther worked and lived there with his family after the Reformation.
Due to renovation work, the Luther House cannot be visited until 2025. However, to give visitors an opportunity to gain an insight into Luther’s life, there will be a special exhibition in the front building, known as the Augusteum. From December 1, 2023 to January 6, 2025, the exhibition “Literally Luther. The Reformer from A to Z” will be presented there.

235 Media realized a large-format, immersive spatial projection that picks up on themes from Luther’s life. Visitors are led into a boundless dimension by the room-filling projection and can thus immerse themselves in the subject matter.

The concept and production come from Dr. Ulrich Hermann’s exhibition Medien Transfer GmbH, Münster.

Carolyn Lazards/Haegue Yang

Posted by Lina Heuschen

Client: Museum Ludwig
10 AUGUST 2023 TO 31 AUGUST 2025

Every two years, the Museum Ludwig in Cologne presents contemporary art from its collection. This year’s theme focuses on different understandings of time.

Carolyn Lazard’s work “Extended Stay” consists of an articulated arm attachment used in medical facilities. A monitor is attached to the end of it, on which television programs are shown in an endless loop, alternating every 90 seconds. The visitors take on the perspective of patients who have a longer stay in hospital due to illness.

Haegue Yang’s installation “Mountains of Encounter” focuses on a meeting between the Korean independence fighter Kim San and the US journalist Nym Wales (aka Helen Foster Snow) in the Chinese mountain region of Yan’an. The red blinds are reminiscent of the mountain formations, which are given a menacing effect through the use of light. In this abstract new structure, cultural codes from East and West are placed next to and in dialog with each other.

235 Media supports the two artists Carolyn Lazard and Haegue Yang in the implementation of their art and realizes the media installations.

Michael Pinsky, The Final Bid

MICHAEL PINSKY, THE FINAL BID

26.05. – 07.06. 2023 BEI 235 MEDIA, AM KÖLNER BRETT 1, KÖLN

The installation “The Final Bid” by British artist Michael Pinsky questions our consumer behavior and its impact on the environment. It is surprising that the majority of greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the consumption of things like furniture, clothing or appliances and not by air travel, energy consumption or food. The project promotes an economy of reuse by collecting used chairs that are then sold through an online auction. This creates an ever-changing sculptural ensemble. The installation height of each chair increases as the bidding increases, representing the evolving value of the object. However, the sculptural presence of the exhibition is only a moment in the chairs’ journey to reuse, as they will find a new home elsewhere after the exhibition.

“The Final Bid” plays with the idea of collecting artifacts and the appreciation they gain when placed in a new context. While some of the chairs may have significant sentimental value, they may generally have little commercial value. In the tradition of the readymade, they are momentarily ripped from their functional use and become sculptures to be contemplated rather than just pieces of furniture to be sat upon.

We are celebrating forty years of 235 Media as part of Passages 2023.

Bids could be placed on-site or online. Proceeds were donated to Doctors Without Borders.

 

With the kind support of the Draiflessen Collection, Mettingen.

Client: Draiflessen Collection, Mettingen

The topic of sustainability is also taking an increasingly prominent place in the visual arts. In his installation THE FINAL BID at the Draiflessen Collection, Mettingen, British artist Michael Pinsky addressed the issue of reusing things instead of buying new ones. 144 used chairs were auctioned off in an elaborate auction installation. The auction status of the individual chairs was indicated by how high they floated in the air. The bids created a kinetic ensemble of objects that changed constantly.

To breathe life into the installation, we converted each of the 144 electric motorized winches and made them network-compatible. We also developed the control software that allowed each winch to be controlled individually. On an online auction platform, interested parties placed their bids on the individual chairs, which were then converted into control commands for the motorized winches via our network.

Finally, our technical team carried out the elaborate installation and setup of the 144 winches in the MAIN SPACE of the Draiflessen Collection.

Client: Artmuseum Bonn
30 November 2022

The work “Remagine” by artist Olafur Eliasson, created in 2002, consists of 12 spotlights that project immaterial spaces onto walls with their beam of light. The spotlights are controlled by a computer program and switch on and off accordingly, creating a complex interplay of the illusion of central-perspective spatial alignments and spatial doublings.
Light plays a key role in many of Eliasson’s works, and he also makes use of the four elements. With this methodology, the viewer’s perception is deceived and experimentally distorted.

The Kunstmuseum Bonn is taking up Eliasson’s work again in 2022 and presenting it in a restored form. 235 Media has taken over the renewal of the computer programming and lighting control.

Viola combines visionary poetics with cutting-edge technology to create visually powerful works; conventional visual habits are broken. The exhibition focuses on the basic conditions and potentials of human existence, exploring themes such as the human body, orders of time, spirituality and transcendence. Special attention is given to Viola’s video-sound installation “The Raft,” which is a universal metaphor for the threat to human life. The exhibition invites visitors to discover the fascinating works of Bill Viola and to engage with the central questions of human existence.

Following the major anniversary exhibition “75 Years of North Rhine-Westphalia” in the Behrensbau in Düsseldorf, the exhibition is touring NRW in a condensed format. Over the next four years, the specially developed “MuseumMobil” will stop for ten to twelve days in each of the state’s 53 districts and independent cities. Visitors can bring their personal objects and stories to the mobile on “collection days” and thus participate in building up the collection of the new museum “House of History of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia”.

235 Media had already developed interactive media applications in the Düsseldorf exhibition, which were then adapted for the MuseumMobil. In addition, 235 Media produced three new applications that, among other things, offer immersion levels for the exhibits on display in the mobile.

Hito Steyerl “Power Plants”

Client: Museum Ostwall, Dortmund

FLOWERS! Flowers in 20th and 21st Century Art

With 180 works by almost 50 artists*, the exhibition “FLOWERS! Flowers in 20th and 21st Century Art” offers a comprehensive overview of the motif of the flower in the art of the past and present century. The multi-channel video environment “Power Plants” by Hito Steyerl from 2019, set up by 235 Media in the Dortmunder U, is an example of the media-artistic further development of a theme that has inspired artists since the Baroque period until today.

The environment developed by Hito Steyerl consists of 18 LED video modules in different sizes from 50 x 100 cm to 100 x 200 cm and 18 LED text modules arranged in three steel frames. Each monitor-text unit is a “power plant” video sculpture created by neural networks. They form a virtual garden consisting of plants with ecological, medical and political powers. Here Hito Steyerl connects the concept of ruderal vegetation (from the Latin rudus ‘debris’), which sets itself up on fallow or devastated land that has been overused or kept free of vegetation, with the automated systems of reproduction and distribution of images and their effects on political systems that she has studied many times.

360°-Kino im Erlebniszentrum Naturgewalten Sylt

Kunde: Erlebniszentrum Naturgewalten Sylt

Syltdome – Deutschlands nördlichstes (360°) Kino

Mit der Errichtung des 360°-Kinos, dem „Syltdome“, erhielt das Erlebniszentrum Naturgewalten Sylt ein ganz besonderes Highlight. 235 Media übernahm die Konzeption von Innenraumgestaltung, Medientechnik, Raumakustik und Lichtdesign sowie die Planung der Lüftungstechnik.

Für das visuelle Erlebnis sorgen fünf 4K-Projektoren mit jeweils 5000 ANSI Lumen. Der Zuspielserver ist im Technikraum ca. 50 Meter vom Kino entfernt untergebracht und die Signalspeisung erfolgt latenzfrei und synchron. Ein ausgeklügeltes Beleuchtungskonzept sorgt in Abstimmung mit der Showsteuerung für „Ambient Sound & Light“ für die Wartezeit zwischen den Shows.

Im Lüftungskonzept kam das Quellluftprinzip zur Anwendung. Dabei strömt die Zuluft im Fußbodenbereich ein, die punktuell erwärmte Luft steigt hoch und wird abgesaugt. Für die Einhaltung gebotener Sicherheitsaspekte standen die Entrauchung, der Brandschutz und die Fluchtwegplanung im Fokus. Im Sinne der Barrierefreiheit wurden zwei Rollstuhlplätze eingeplant, Braille-Beschilderung und Bodenbelagswechsel für Menschen mit visuellen Beeinträchtigungen vorgesehen.

Um der visuellen 360°-Filmprojektion eine auditive Entsprechung zu geben, werden 31 Lautsprecher und vier Subwoofer nach dem Prinzip der Wellenfeldsynthese mit der Technologie des „Spacial Audio Designer – Processor (SAD-P)” gespeist. Dadurch entsteht der Eindruck einer objekthaften Wahrnehmung von Sound im Raum. Um eine störende Beschallung der umliegenden Ausstellungsbereiche zu vermeiden, wurden diverse Schallschutzmaßnahmen realisiert.

Neben den eigens produzierten Filmen für „Kräfte der Nordsee“ wird das Kino zusätzlich auch außerhalb der Öffnungszeiten als Full-Dome-Kino und Veranstaltungsort genutzt.

Die Erweiterung und Neugestaltung des 300 Quadratmeter großen Ausstellungsbereichs „Kräfte der Nordsee“ war eine logistische Herausforderung: Zunächst musste die Bestandsausstellung abgebaut werden, um Platz für ein Full-Dome-Kino, den „Sylt-Dome“ zu schaffen. Nach dem Bau des zylindrischen Kinosaals wurde die Ausstellung in runderneuerter Form wieder eingerichtet. Gemeinsam mit ntk hat 235 Media dem Ausstellungsbereich ein zeitgemäßes Erscheinungsbild gegeben und ihn technisch auf den neuesten Stand gebracht.

Mit Wellen und Wind stehen zwei Kräfte im Fokus, die permanent auf die Insel einwirken. In der mit vielen interaktiven Elementen versehenen Ausstellung werden diese Naturphänomene anschaulich erklärt. Eine der zentralen Medieninstallation ist der 10 Meter lange interaktive Wind-Wellenkanal, an dem der Zusammenhang von Windstärken und Wellenhöhen demonstriert wird. Sechs hinter dem Kanal montierte hochauflösende 75“-Monitore visualisieren naturgetreu verschiedene Wetterlagen und -stimmungen, während auf der darüber befindlichen Wand die jeweiligen Windstärken mittels Gobo-Projektionen angezeigt werden. An einem Bedienpult bestimmen die Besucher*innen die Wind- und Wellenverhältnisse.

Mit der Errichtung des 360°-Kinos, dem „Sylt Dome“, erhält das Erlebniszentrum Naturgewalten Sylt ein weiteres Highlight. ntk und 235 Media übernahmen in Kooperation mit der US-amerikanischen Firma Evans & Sutherland die Konzeption von Innenraumgestaltung, eingesetzter Medientechnik, Raumakustik und Lichtdesign sowie die Planung der Lüftungstechnik (in Zusammenarbeit mit Ingenieurbüro Pahl und Jacobsen aus Heide). Deutschlands nördlichstes Kino hat einen Durchmesser von 10 Metern und bietet 45 Besucher*innen Platz. Zusätzlich verfügt es über 2 Plätze für Rollstuhlfahrer*innen. Mittels 5 Projektoren und einem mit 31 Lautsprechern und 4 Subwoofern bestückten Spatial- Sound-System ermöglicht der Sylt-Dome immersive, dreidimensionale Kinoerlebnisse. Neben dem von uns angestoßenen und von TVN, Hamburg, eigens produzierten Film für „Kräfte der Nordsee“ wird das Kino zusätzlich außerhalb der Öffnungszeiten als Full-Dome-Kino und Veranstaltungsort genutzt.

Rotes Haus Monschau

Posted by Lina Heuschen

Client: moser_mahlstedt designbauwerk GmbH, Cologne

April 1, 2022

The Red House Monschau opened its revised and expanded permanent exhibition. The patrician house from the middle of the 18th century originally served as the home and central business premises of the Scheibler cloth-furnishing dynasty and today offers unique insights into late Baroque living and everyday life, pre-industrial cloth manufacturing processes and historical fashion trends as well as information about the wool route, which links the cultural heritage of the cloth-furnishing region in the three-country region around Aachen.

The new part of the exhibition is dedicated to the elaborate production of cloth with interactive monitor and projection installations – realised by 235 Media – and a media slider, vividly conveys the family’s trade relations and sheds light on the city’s history, which is interwoven with it. In a kind of practical application, elaborate weaving samples presented in pattern books can be projected vividly as waistcoats by visitors. An atmospheric experience is conveyed by an audiovisually staged projection that brings back to life the vaulted cellar supported by rusticated columns where wool was once washed.

Client: Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe

14 August 2022 – 11 December 2022

In the presence of the Federal Minister of Education and Research Bettina Stark-Watzinger, the POWER2CHANGE – MISSION ENERGIEWENDE exhibition was opened at Henrichshütte Hattingen on Aug. 13, 2022. Four complex thematic islands explore the question of how new technologies can help to master the energy transition in order to stop climate change. The production of green electricity and alternative fuels, the use of CO₂ as a raw material for the chemical industry and many other topics are presented in a compact and comprehensible way with carefully curated exhibits.

235 Media designed and implemented four large interactive tangible tables, four analog hands-on exhibits, four digital solution games, two augmented reality stations and many other media stations using a wide variety of technologies for the traveling exhibition.

The exhibition will go to the Klimahaus Bremerhaven in December and will then be shown at five other locations in Germany.

05 MARCH TO 26 JUNE 2022

The exhibition “Icons of Light” at Palazzo Bonaparte in Rome is dedicated to Bill Viola. Curated by Viola’s wife Kira Perov, the exhibition features 10 works, including well-known works such as “Ascension” (2000) and the famous “Water Portraits” (2015). Viola’s works explore themes of life and death, incorporating contrasts between Eastern and Western cultures. The exhibition serves as a retrospective and offers a glimpse into Viola’s artistic journey over the past four decades, with video installations and projections depicting the evolution of video art. The exhibition creates an immersive and introspective atmosphere reminiscent of intimate spaces or sacred shrines, inviting visitors to make a deep visual and spiritual connection with the artworks.

The museum has commissioned 235 Media for the technical realization of all installations.

The DASA Working World Exhibition in Dortmund is the permanent educational active facility of the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The new temporary/travelling exhibition “Artificial Intelligence. An exhibition about people, data and control” is dedicated to the ambivalence of new developments in the field of artificial intelligence, which is gradually permeating the home, the working world and public space. Among other things, the exhibition uses various media stations to educate visitors about the opportunities and dangers of the new technology.

235 Media conceived the media technology, developed the screen design of the media stations, wrote software, built sensors, produced short films, realised the hardware and set it up in the exhibition.

Further stations of the exhibition are the Technical Museum Vienna, the Tekniska museet Stockholm, and the Parque de las Ciencias in Granada.

October 2021

In the centre of Stuttgart, a new urban district is being built on an area of 85 hectares, the Rosenstein Quarter. In order to involve citizens in the planning process and to ask for their opinions and wishes, the City of Stuttgart has set up an exhibition space of approximately 225 square metres near the City Hall.

The central element is a 23 square metre “living city model” that serves as a projection surface for animations showing the various developments of the future quarter that can be selected on four tablets. Other attractive media stations include an “interactive screen”, an interactive quiz, several listening stations and an interactive photo wall where visitors can take selfies in front of pictures of the future quarter.

235 Media created the software, supplied and set up the media technology, including soft-edge projections and corona-compliant touchless interaction technology.

In collaboration with Dr Ulrich Hermanns | Ausstellung Medien Transfer GmbH, Münster.
