This was just a weird exhibition held at our school one day. My friend Florian was performing also, so we went to support him and to see if there were any other interesting performances. There was supposed to be one performer who I was really excited to see actually. He was supposed to hook up electrodes to his face and each note he would play would send an electric shock to one electrode and his whole face would contort to music. But he never showed. Instead, most of the other performances were long, boring and mostly a waste of time. I fell asleep for a lot of it. One guy had set up a bunch of circuits, wiring, LED lights and motors. At first it was interesting, but it soon became obvious that it was NOT interesting at all. It was just a bunch of electric devices making clanging, clicking and tapping sounds. But anyways, the pictures make it look a lot cooler than it was. I think it was supposed to get us to think about the future of sound design, or music and even in a broader sense where design was going in the future. We had a discussion about it afterwards that was actually much more interesting than the performance itself about the changing role of design and art and how this was more of a experiment to push some boundaries of design.
My friend Florian is the DJ, he had honestly one of the best performances of the night I would say.
