Per Hüttner and friends at Gallery Ekdahl May 23-25, 2019
Within the framework of “Per Hüttner and Friends” at Gallery Ekdahl in Karlstad, Sweden May 23-26, 1 + 1 = 3 will present AnAtomic with Per Huttner and Jean-Louis Huhta. In the performance which will take place at 4pm on May 26, we measure Per’s EEG (electroencephalogram) in real time. The signal is converted into a control signal that goes into Jean-Louis modular synth and which he uses to create music. Per, in turn, hears the sounds which cause his brain waves to be affected, which in turn affects the music and so on. The performance, in other words, focuses on feedback between musicians and EEG forms creates unexpected sound, light, image and which also affects the audience in unexpected ways. It is the first time that 1+1=3 performs publicly without the presence of a neuroscientist – a giant leap for the EEGsynth development.
1+1=3’s performance forms a part of a program where Huttner will present performances, events and talks with collaborative partners from media, music and dance. The program brings together works created during the last two years and focuses on creativity, exchanges between unexpected conversation partners and activities that focus on finding new forms of problem solving.
Galleri Ekdahl, Sundbergsgatan 20, 65219 Karlstad, Sweden.
The project is supported by the Swedish Cultural Council and the Nordic Culture Fund.
