ANDREAS LUTZ A/V [DE]

Andreas Lutz, electronics

Interdisciplinary artist Andreas Lutz explores the human machine relation with the approach to create integrated and universal communication systems. Within these boundaries, he analyzes and reveals phenomenons of perception versus reality and principles of abstract aesthetics with sculptures, installations and performances. The creation of experimental soundscapes and the relation of semiotics and sound are further aspects of his work. He is the founder of KASUGA, a Berlin-based interdisciplinary studio and record label. Works of Andreas have been exhibited at the Antarctic Pavilion during 57th Venice Biennale (Italy), the National Art Center Tokyo (Japan), at HeK Basel (Switzerland), at Times Art Museum in Beijing (China), Sónar+D in Barcelona (Spain) and many more.

At RADAR he will present the A/V performance Abstract Language Model, for which an artificial neural network was trained with the entire character sets represented in the Unicode Standard. The resulting complex data models contain the translation of all available human sign systems as equally representable, machine-created states. Through extraction and interpolation of these artificially created semiotic systems a transitionless universal language originates, which can be seen as a trans-human / trans-machine language. The live performance Abstract Language Model (Live) presents the states of this process from Extraction > Analysis > Rearrange > Process > Transformation > Language with an audio-visual narration.
