Alta Novo

10th March | M.I.C. Galatos St
The German electronic-music composer Carsten Nicolai (known as alva noto) makes you think about the future of music and when he performed his work, it was easy to feel that he was part of a much larger societal movement. The New York Times

Carsten Nicolai (born 1965 in Karl Marx Stadt, now Chemnitz) is an artist using various media, such as sound, image, sculpture and computer, as hybrid tools in order to research the “codification of the world”. Nicolai’s work questions creativity, coincidence and artistic creative power. A lot of his works are directly linked with the natural sciences. The physics of oscillation in particular are a frequent means of his work and are not limited by audibility and visibility, but trying to make natural phenomena visible.
