“When Swiss sound artist
ZIMOUN (his moniker is a phonetic retooling of his first name, Simon) first met Berlin-based media artist and programmer PE LANG at an electronic music festival in 2004, the two quickly found they shared an intuitive sense of the language of sound. They gradually developed a collaboration that has come to represent one of contemporary art’s most fascinating and rigorous investigations of acoustic architecture.

Their current project, “untitled sound objects”, has developed into a live performance platform and a series of site-specific installations in which small, electrically-controlled machines – transducers, magnets, door-knockers, vibrating motors, wobbling glass plates – are used to excite existing physical spaces and agitating the room. Often controlled by a computer, large arrays of these micro-machines produce simple patterns through which larger macro-structures emerge as the individual elements interact with one another and with the space of the work itself.

Have fun!
