Central Garden: Vibrate Space & Lumograph
Central Garden is a noncommercial space at the Viennese Danube Canal, that has been established as an artistic and cultural project space in 2008. The outdoor space is highly frequented and people come here to participate in sport, art and cultural projects in public space. Besides regular event installations and public art projects, such as Continent II, the media art symposium UPGRADE, a symposium about water in the city and the annual girls soccer world championship took and take place here. The CoDED CUlTUREs festival will present the project Vibrate space, a 8-channel sound installation in public space, at Central Garden.
“Vibrate Space” reflects on the urban space as an acoustic space of motion. The installation picks up the motion of the surrounding public area which is mainly used for motion – jogging, walking ... The acoustic movement of the air is the translation of the movement of the city. 6 musicians from different areas of electronic music develop one composition for the public space. The 8-channel sound installation will extend at the area of the centralgarden of over 400 square meters, which is used by passengers, neighbors, children etc. in many different ways. The piece of music varies over 12 hours and through 8 loud-speakers. The different sounds at different places of that area are in a permanent movement and are changing sound and space. As a part of the festival CODED CULTURES, “Vibrate Space” is used for performances and live-sets.
The work “Lumograph” is a sculptural interface in public space, which is planned as artistic intervention and will be installed in the“Central Garden” on the Viennese Donaukanal. Though the term “network” is used in an inflationary sense these days, the related ideas are topical more than ever: the work presented is not planned as an allegorization but more as an experiment focusing on the changing dynamics of viewpoints on itself. With its neuralgic location at the Donaukanal and its diverse passages (bike, car, ship), a multitude of perspectives are presented to the audience, opening up different sights and views. The site-specific work “Lumograph” is located at the lawns of Central Garden, a place which is used for outdoor recreation activities.
