In a joint effort Carsten Goertz (Farn) Gerriet K. Sharma and Dirk Specht (NooK)(>Farn+NooK=slope) made a 3-month tour through ‘all’ of Brazil with weekly audiovisual performances at changing cities. The materials were entirely recorded on site, so that each concert would favor local features. VOIDENSITIES was comissioned by the Goethe-Institute Sao Paulo and just one part of the major cultural presentation “Kulturfest Itinerante”, featuring german cinema, theater, clubmusic and visual art in fall 2008.

The audio-visual approach was to generate a threedimensional multifaceted object and to map photographs and videos as a texture on it, blending into each other additively. The structure of the object is modulated in realtime by certain frequencies of the soundcomposition and by internal programmed behaviours.

Many thanks to the whole staff of Interior Productions, especially Evandro Almeida, Ricardo Muniz and Jussara Dias Rahal, as well as to Simone Molitor (Goethe Institute S.P.).
