The endless cyclical motion of the 12 pendulums, bound together with mechatronic bridge with regular phase offset perform silent music in space. The visual references to musical notation, structure and the physics of sound are primed with the materiality of the environment. Timeless and in perpetual motion the artwork is a loud understatement, and the last artwork of the artist.

From 5 p.m. you will see the web-based and participative installation Dear Joachim in the upper foyer of the concert hall. The generative audio installation is a digital archive of condolences for Joachim Sauter and you are also invited to participate with a voice message and listen to the stream via Dear Joachim.
