Stroking, scratching, beating, plucking, scraping, blowing, imagining - the creation of sounds through mechanical processes is the focus of this exhibition. The artists explore sound as a sculptural medium, deal with aspects of auditory perception and reflect on the aesthetic and conceptual possibilities of sound-generating objects in space. Tools include Arduinos, sensors and motors, but also water and air. Only loudspeakers are not allowed.

The exhibition takes place in cooperation with the sound department of the Academy of Media Arts Cologne.
