MOMENTUM

kling klang klong and schnellebuntebilder developed an interactive framework to create synaesthetic experiences of sounds and visuals generated from body movement named MOMENTUM.

Visuals – schnellebuntebilder schnellebuntebilder.de

schnellebuntebilder is a studio for animation and interaction based in Berlin.

Since 2011, Sebastion Huber, Robert Pohle and Johannes Timpernagel have been bringing data and pixels to life. Their handmade, generative and interactive design is best suited to the museum space, shortfilms and performance arts: physical movements turn into visual languages, rhythms turn into structures, epochs into sound and image collages, empty rooms are filled with projections and grey facades enlivened with lights.

What kicked off with music videos, animated films and visuals soon led to a more complex, project-based teamwork in the cultural sphere. To implement their projects, schnellebuntebilder work closely with curators, exhibition designers, creative artist, dancers and sound designers.

schnellebuntebilder forge links between design and the arts: rendered animations and programmed graphics in real-time are both part of their repertoire. Anything goes as long as the trio achieve their favourite result: schnellebuntebilder.

 

Audio – kling klang klong klingklangklong.com

kling klang klong is all about immersive sound, handmade music and creative use of technology. Our Berlin-based studio develops innovative concepts and systems to create and experience music and sound in real locations and virtual spaces. Musical instruments, microphones, sensors, tracking systems and handcrafted software solutions are our means of choice.

We produce sound and interactive music for space, moving picture, interactive media, installations and stage performances. A distinct creative handwriting is an essential part of all our works be it art, entertainment or industry.

In their first collaborative work „MOMENTUM“ the user and his surroundings transforms into a fluid creature in an ever-transforming system of particles. A virtual reality, in which movement becomes sound and music and matter seems to dissolve.
