Bernhard Loibner: Audio-Visual Work - with Clementine Gasser and Mikołaj Trzaska
The latest piece he created is titled MELTDOWN and is the first one done for video and live music. The piece combines at 42 minutes of textural, abstract video with abstract electronic live music. For the video part of MELTDOWN some sequences of an old b&w film by the french philospoher Guy Debord were digitally re-processed and re-synthesized where the re-processing refers to ideas Debord used in his original film. He called this technique "détournement", the recontextualisation of various elements of other films, TV advertising etc. to create new combinations and open new insights being built out of these "detourned" elements. The electronic live music part of the piece does reflect the textural nature of the visual elements but still has to be much more than background music for the visuals. It does develop a life of its own and raises the stimulus of the observer in a significant way by creating a dense atmosphere. MELTDOWN has first been presented at the Moving Closer Festival in Warsaw, Poland in June 2007.
