Der kühne Hühner
a participatory radio play for young and old alike
What do we need to make a radio play? People to read the story, of course. Maybe that’s you? And we also need noises, voices and sounds. Maybe even a little music. And above all, a lot of imagination and courage. Last but not least, listeners who make themselves comfortable and listen would of course be great as well. So there is certainly something for everyone. So if you want to experience something new, if you enjoy a nice story, if you enjoy reading aloud, if you like sounds and music, or if you just like to listen, then you’ve come to the right place!
“Der kühne Hühner” is Nico’s latest book about critical masculinity. The text will be set to music together with you and the spacey sound circus on headphones by Kollektiv Eigenklang to create a radio play.

For this Chaos Camp a dream team of composers, hardware hackers, performers and musicians has come together to build the interactive music lab of the future: There will be mechatronic and acoustic instruments, capacitive mini-synthesizers, two soundsystems, and of course computers and much more! We will show new compositions, songs, lyrics and research results from sessions and workshops of the current year. Please see the Fahrplan and Wiki for sessions and special events.

Eigenklang
audio-visual durational performance
“Eigenklang” is an audio-visual performance collective blurring classical boundaries between audience and artist, concept and coincidence, reality and perception. Their spaceship is open and cozy, full of toys and stimulating visuals. Join the crew for multidimensional experiments, based on interaction and improvisation, manipulating your senses, and co-create psychedelic soundscapes of organic, electronic and human sounds between your ears.

Hexenhaus
installation
“Become who you are” is an inscription under a Mesopotamian lion. A great challenge in an alienated world. The installation invites inner acceptance by changing our understanding of reality. The Witch House creates an empowering place of mindfulness through images, sculptures, light and atmosphere.
Location: art & play
Kranleuchter
interactive light installation
16 moving heads, 4 LiDAR lasers, 4 speakers
The installation plays with the idea of light as a material with properties such as weight, friction and repulsion. The light beams behave like pendulums that are interactively set into oscillation. Each beam generates a sound through its oscillation, which is modulated by movement and position.
From Birk Schmithüsen
MagicDrink
audio visual durational performance
“Will you float, dance or love?” This installative performance is an interplay of performers, light, projections, sounds and the audience. Using an analog phone system, guests can communicate with each other and with the performers. It’s all about skill: whoever turns the dial the fastest shares an intimate experience with the performers and drinks the much sought-after MagicDrink.

Von einem der auszog eine Wohnung in Berlin zu finden
fully automated puppet theater (17min)
(Translated title: The story of the youth who went forth to find an apartment in Berlin – adapted from a German fairy tale)
Act 3: In the final consequence
The Princess realizes that she must move to Berlin when she visits the exhibition “Vulnerable Subjects” in Leipzig. Fortunately, while looking for an apartment, she meets Kasperle, who introduces her to the Wohnungsbot (apartment bot). But even though the Wohnungsbot has already relieved countless people of the symptoms of rent mania, this mission plunges the Wohnungsbot into a crisis of existence, which not only makes him doubt prevailing narratives of automation. The stage adaptation of the software “Wohnungsbot” negotiates the possibilities and consequences of the attempt to solve social problems with technical means.

We Only Work In Spirals
multidisciplinary performance
“We Only Work In Spirals” is a project that brings together the world of music, circus and performance into a ritual of acts. This multidisciplinary experience aims to create multiple interpretations by combining an instant music performance while using the absurd hair hanging technique. The raw sound signals that are instantly created on stage travel from one performer to the other. They get trapped in loops, creating and enhancing the collective ritual that performers and audience are experiencing, where physicality and intense inner feelings grow.
When: 15. + 16 Aug, 20:15–20:30

Crashkurs Pflanzenfärben
Get a taste of the basics of plant dyeing. We dye textiles with natural resources!
Get an inside look at the process from the beginning to the end (preparing the textiles, ethically collecting the plant material, dyeing, finishing). We will take a short dye plant walk and locate local colorants, and use them to dye already prepared small items that you can take home with your new knowledge.
(In case the weather is not ideal, the workshop will be in a roofed area).
When: 16–19 Aug, 11:00–15:00 depending on need (no drop-ins, please be on-time)

Kunst der Kurven
Kunst der Kurven (art of curves) is a mix between an installation, workshop and a performance dealing with the topic of visualisation, sonification and enactment of algebraic structures known under name of Elliptic Curves (EC). ECs are fundamental for modern asymmetric cryptography, cryptocurrencies etc., but for those who know these Abelian varieties better, they can also be considered as beautiful structures on their own. Seemingly chaotic at first sight, ECs encode and exhibit certain symmetries which can be visualised – or even sonified – to produce results of non-negligible artistic and aesthethic value.
During the workshop part, participants will be asked to install the Open-Source System Sagemath. Subsequently, main concepts (Finite Field, Group Law, Quadratic and Cubic Character) will be briefly introduced and then people will start generating, plotting first visuals and sonifying first sequences. In the meanwhile, children will be charged with task of creating the “frames” from surrounding bio- and electro-materials. 5 years of free-time experiments by Daniel “hromi” Hromada (Juniorprofessor of Digital Education at Berlin University of the Arts) will be presented this way, for the first (and maybe also for the last) time. In order to provide sufficient mindfuck experience for everyone involved, the Installation–Workshop–Performance will be encoded in a mix of English–German–French–Slavic–Python and Sage languages.
