Thomas Köner - The Futurist Manifesto
The work of media artist Thomas Köner cannot be easily categorised. For
years he was active as a sound engineer, before his project Porter
Ricks caused a stir in the European techno landscape. In flmmaker
Jurgen Reble he found the perfect collaborator to pursue his interest
in the symbiosis of visual and auditive experiences. All these
different infuences come together in Köner’s recent work. At the
occasion of the festival theme of “Accelerated Living” and the
hundredth anniversary of the Futurist Manifesto, he has composed an
“opera digitale” for Impakt, which will be performed with a prepared
piano, a digital ”noise orchestra” and a singer. The sonic sediments of
one hundred years of industrialisation and acceleration will be
condensed in a multidimensional audiovisual space, where image and
sound interact as if “time and space died yesterday”.
