The IMAnarchiv invites visitors to explore, listen, envision, make connections, discard, and reinscribe. In the fitting words of Siegfried Zielinski: it is a dynamic search that delights in the gift of true surprise. <\/p>\n
The concept of the IMA Sound Gallery exhibition is not forgetting to save but saving in order to forget. The Polypalimpsestinator I und II<\/span> by the artist collective Alberto de Campo \/ Hannes Hoelzl \/ Alessandra Leone and the Memory Canon<\/span> by Elisabeth Schimana focus on the theme of the cultural memory of recording media and the transitoriness inscribed in them.<\/p>\n Hannes Hoelzl<\/a>, Alessandra Leone<\/a>, Alberto de Campo<\/a> | Technical Realisation: Liang Zhipeng<\/p>\n For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier…I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.<\/em> Steven Wright<\/p>\n Early sound recording methods, like optical sound-on-film and the grammophone, changed the way humans conceive of sound – for example, \u201alive music\u2018 only exists because of recording, and being able to keep physical memories of the voices of beloved deceased persons was one of the strongest attractions of these machines.Polypalimpsestinator I, II<\/h2>\n
\nDualities always suggest the question of what their \u201atertium non datum\u2018 is, and here, the binary constellation of writing and reading obviously suggest that its missing third is deleting. The two machines presented are the beginning of a series of devices which address this field of complex implications of technological reading and writing, its historical origins and their aura. Technical systems create problems by trying to remember everything forever (cf. recent NSA activities), and here one can take bionic inspiration from living systems which always knew about the power of forgetting.<\/p>\n
