| <nettime-ann> opening Berlin: Ralf Baecker - IRRATIONAL COMPUTING |
. IRRATIONAL COMPUTING Opening: 27th October 2011, 7pm Schering Stiftung / Unter den Linden 32-34 / 10117 Berlin / Germany Exhibition: 28th October - 17th December 2011, Mo-Sa 11am – 6pm, Admission is free IRRATIONAL COMPUTING is an artistic test of material, esthetics and potentials of digital processes. The installation is based on semiconductor crystals - the basic raw material of information technology. The installation in the Project Space of the Ernst Schering Foundation consists of five interlinked modules that use the varied electrical and mechanical particularities and characteristics of crystals and minerals and, through their networking, form a kind of primitive macroscopic signal processor. IRRATIONAL COMPUTING is not supposed to “function” – its aim is to search for the poetic elements on the border between “accuracy” and “chaos" amplifying the mystic and magic side of these materials. IRRATIONAL COMPUTING was developed during a three-month project residency, which was made possible by DOCK e.V. with support from the Ernst Schering Foundation.
