Breathe My Air — a paradoxical conversation piece (1:58)

 

Sylvia Eckermann: Breathe My Air

 

 

 

 

 

filmed and edited by Sylvia Eckermann and Gerald Nestler © 2008-2011

3-channel video, duration: 01:58:14
Languages: English, German and Chinese / Subtitles: English and Chinese
Filmed at locations in Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai, Western Sichuan, Northern Yunnan, Krems, Stopfenreuther Au and Vienna.

Supported by: bjartlab – Li Zhenhua, City of Vienna art council, the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Arts and Culture, the Cultural Forum Beijing

Breathe My Air is a cinematic conversation between participants from the worlds of art and curating, filmmaking, literature and poetry, philosophy and theory living in China and Europe.

Bringing ideas, thoughts, perceptions and experiences to the fore and combining them with footage filmed on location and en route the 3-channel video deals with current notions of modern concepts such as utopia, change and progress. Moving away from generalizations of identity politics to individual agency beyond cultural stereotypes, the project engages in a cross-cultural exchange on the actuality and methodologies of a society beyond the limitations produced of politics and global economy.

Breathe My Air was filmed at locations proposed by the participants and during extended travels in China.

Sylvia Eckermann: reservoirbots

 

GameMod for audio/visual live performances in various locations

Künstlerhaus Wien, Public Netbase Vienna, ...

Resembling a flaneur in an unknown city the bot moves through a "ludic 3d environment" - moved by the hand of the player - robbed of his identity which the player has adopted for herself. It seems as if those she encounters have a life of their own. But this is an illusion - they are caught in loops of movements which stop abruptly and thus destroy the illusion.
The moving flaneur becomes a VJ producing ever new images which with the beat of live-generated sounds melt into an "emersive media environment"...

PLAN-It!

PLAN-It! a multisensory experience at the Mind Zone
Millennium Dome London 2000


ifuchs-eckermann in cooperation with Herbert Lachmayer

The Mind Zone [architects: Office Zaha Hadid] in the Millennium Dome at Greenwich was designed to be a synthesis of contemporary architecture, art, electronic media, and information about aspects of the mind, consciousness and our ways of understanding the world.

PLAN-it! is an installation connecting a spatial with an aesthetic and an intellectual experience.
One might call this kind of sculpture: media-architecture.
