| In
RGB, Bernhard Gal uses the colors red,
green, and blue to focus on the relationships between light, sound, and
space. Concrete sounds and everyday objects are set in relation to abstract
sound and light situations. The installation is based on two parallel layers
of perception: on the one hand, light and sound are understood as concrete
characteristics of the objects installed in the space. The objects are assigned
colors (toaster – red; aquarium – green; ventilator – blue).
Through sequencing software they are turned on and off in alternation; the
objects’ resulting inherent sounds are amplified and projected into
the room. At the same time, in a second layer, three “abstract”
spatial and acoustic situations are created. Here, each color is assigned
a side of the room and a composition. The result is nine different light
and sound choreographies, each of which defines the installation or perceptual
space for 3–5 minutes. ...... RGB (2001) Aquarium, toaster, ventilator, lamps, opera, microphones, loudspeakers, sequencing software...... |
