GENERATOR 2018

Artist in Dialogue – For Your Ears Only
Lyddesigner Mikkel Larsen sætter med sin lydinstallation fokus på vores ører. Vi glemmer ofte at lytte og at zoome ind på præcis det, vores øre kan. For vores høresans er en af de fem sanser, vi ikke kan slukke for, og måske endda en af de vigtigste vi har. Lyd kan påvirke os på mange måder, swingende jazzmusik, bystøj, gråd, klukkende latter, skrattende radio og meget mere lagrer sig som oplevelser og påvirker vores inderste følelser.

Denne udstilling skaber rum til at lytte, og med teknikken “Binaural lyd/3D lyd” har Mikkel skabt et realistisk og altomfavnende univers, der tager udgangspunkt i det rum, vi befinder os i. Universerne er små historier, drømme, abstraktioner, modsætninger og stemninger.

Koncept og lyddesign: Mikkel Larsen
Uvurderlig konsulent: Lasse Munk

Entré til udstillingen er gratis ved køb af billet til Generator.
