DEEP SPACES - 25 February 2010
The opening event Deep Spaces presents a selection of audiovisual 
adventures in spaces defined by sound, light, smoke and lasers. Immerse 
yourself in Thomas Köner’s mesmerizing spatial sound tapestries, while 
his colleague, Jürgen Reble, takes you on a visual journey through the 
darker side of his alchemical chemograms. Haswell & Hecker will perform 
their radical UPIC Diffusion Session, an infinity of extreme sound and 
engulfing lasers. And Monolake and Tarik Barri will transport you 
through their spatial audiovisual universe.

the big screen, Bruce McClure will show us a new performance he made 
with beautiful 16mm recordings of pelicans, from a 1950s nature 
documentary, and Greg Pope en Gert-Jan Prins will join forces to bring 
an homage to the 70s solid light film Line Describing A Cone by Anthony 
McCall.
