PUREED NOISE SOUP | Concerts I 7.3.2017
Atsushi Tadokoro (JP), Gabriela Gordillo (MX), Sebastian Six (AT), Renick Bell (US/JP), Yen Tzu Chang (TW)
Puréed Noise Soup is a hybrid sound event, that involves a series of concerts, a workshop and an interactive installation, that puts together artists with different views of sound, which sources are data sets, live-coding, analogue and digital sounds, or electronic circuits. Observing the variety of this sound performances as if they were different tastes of ingredients, we want to present it as a process to make a puréed soup: all artists will provide different materials, that in the end, will be a unique sonic food for the audience.
Observing the sound performance as a tasting experience, an on-site installation, allows the audience to taste the ingredients themselves, and make their own mixes through interaction, as a first encounter with the sounds of each performer.
Concerts:
March 7th, BB15, Linz
March 16th, Signal Zirkus, Vienna

Rhythm and Decay
6-channel site specific sound installation, 2016
lametta, speakers, raspberry pi
“You went out with your best sweater on. With every intention of dancing till dawn…”
Like a waterfall glittering threads flow over the walls of the Kunsthalle Linz and visualize a familiar color spectrum. It represents the for the human visible part of the light. An electromagnetic field also drives the diaphragm of the loudspeakers to convert the signals into sound waves. Every sound brings the exuberant walls into vibration and the equipment to tremble, becomes physically visible and breathes life into the place. The ground wobbles and the shoulders and legs start to beat in the beat.
RHYTHM AND DECAY | Kunsthalle Linz | 22.11.2016
“RHYTHM AND DECAY” // Sebastian Six
“You went out with your best sweater on
With every intention of dancing till dawn
But when the DJ played that song …”
You are standing in front of the door with a dull memory of alcohol and flickering light. Your slow-drying sweat sucks the cold deep under your skin and the reverberation of too-loud beats fades into an eternal hum in the ears. “What is now, are you coming?”
Acoustic experiments in connection with items of everyday life, sculptural assemblages and the physical element of sound are the main aspects of Sebastian Six’s musical and visual compositions. The works deal with moments where noise becomes music and the difference between hearing and active listening is explored.

„NOTES ON TOMORROW “ CURATED BY LUISA SANTOS
If we think of contemporary art as a social system – an idea coined by Niklas Luhmann (1992) putting the arts in the realm of perception -, we locate art in what it does at its best: showing possible realities, through a critical observation, of the world we live in, at social, economical and political levels.
It is precisely in this idea that the history of the collective exhibition Notes on Tomorrow unfolds. The characters (the works) of this story come together in a series of dichotomies. Firstly, the large in conflict with the small; on the other hand, the visual formalisation of the contrasts between History, fiction and memories; the relationship between the observer and the observed; contemplation and creation; networks of information, stories and seemingly random events; and, finally, the contradiction between known and unknown, translated by the desire to discover, to change to something beyond the horizon and, paradoxically, the need for familiar refuges.
These dichotomies are not about presenting definitive answers for contemporary society’s challenges but more about looking into a series of questions, observations and experimentations. In this way, these representations reflect the ambivalence of human relations. In other words, it is about visually translating small utopia’s at local levels through inventions, desires and propositions.
Notes on Tomorrow comes in a series of twenty-one voices from different European cities (Arad, Aveiro, Genoa, Harghita County, Kaunas, Kristiansand, Lecce, Pardubice, Valladolid, Vilnius, and Zagreb) to dwell on possible perceptions about current social issues and includes installations, drawings, texts, diagrams, videos, photographs and different kinds of situations. – Luísa Santos

Interacting Art
in collaboration with Sam Bunn and Davide Bevilacqua
artist curated and remixed exhibition, 2016
installations, mixed media, performances
It is important to note that this exhibition was part curated and part artistically interpreted. Following an open call for working or unworking works, Davide Bevilacqua, Sam Bunn and Sebastian Six (hereafter referred to as BB6) arranged and interpreted the proposals they received to bring you this show.
A play on artworks, works in process and working things out by doing – together. Through negotiation, juxtaposition, and re-contextualization, various works and non-works are woven into an interface for the audience, built through interactive, textual and performative processes. There’s no excuse for our lethargy: since we already possess the ideas, tools and techniques to initiate a change of course. The collaborative display here exhibited turns non-functional works into functional un-works, reaching towards how art might work between artworks. The project uses the medium of interaction in a way that allows the pieces to leave the traditional space of artistic discourse and to occupy instead the space of dialogue.With Stella Baraklianou, Yen Tzu Chang & Yoh Morishita, Maria Czernohorszky, Isidora Ficovic, Laura Jade Hindes, Mary Maggic, Francesco Nordio, Patrick Schabus, Henning Schulze, Julio Sosa, Federico Tasso.
A project by Davide Bevilacqua, Sam Bunn, and Sebastian Six.

subnetAIR2015 Presentation | Schmiede, Hallein/AT | 21.9.2016
FAXEN got the subnetAIR residency 2015, so we’re now invited to present the work ON AIR on 21th of September at the Schmiede in Hallein.
A helium filled balloon equipped with microphones is used to create expansive field recordings of urban areas. This method allows the artist collective FAXEN to record multiple acoustic transitions between divergent areas in an urban environment. Sonic zoom-in and zoom- out movements that oscillate between subjective and objective points of view, between actual and abstract and between close by and far away. Arranged as a multi-channel sound installation ON AIR invites the listener to explore the diverse acoustic topography of a city.
