Finissage, Konzert: Körper Speicher Tempel/Artministration

with itinerant interlude # 51: Body Electronics with Viola Yip
and Abs. (7): closing time for curatorial research

Viola Yip presents the world premiere of "The Ombré of Touch II" - a physical electronic performance developed especially for the exhibition. At its center is an inflatable instrument that she built herself and connected to electronics. The work explores touch as a multi-layered interface for listening and making music and deals intensively with the physicality of air as a sculptural and sonic medium in order to create a very personal, physical music.

Viola Yip is a Berlin-based composer, performer, improviser, sound artist and instrument maker from Hong Kong. In her artistic practice, she develops unconventional, self-built instruments and creates compositions and performances that explore the complex and dynamic relationships between materiality, media, space, the human body and the machine body - always from the perspective of sound. Her works are regularly presented on stages and festivals around the world. Yip received an honorary mention of the Giga-Hertz Prize from the Center for Art and Media (ZKM) Karlsruhe in 2021 and was a fellow of the Music Fund's Artificial Intelligence Scholarship Program in 2024.

The series itinerant interludes is funded by Musikfonds e. V. and curated by Laurie Schwartz
