The new sound installation »Fluid Anatomy« by the Berlin-based Romanian sound artist Ioana Vreme Moser is a purely analog system powered through water and air. It consists of specially designed acrylic panels connected by transparent tubes. Pumps and a compressor circulate water and air in the system. The resulting fluidic sounds and movements activate and shape the entire exhibition space.
Vreme Moser’s sound installation, produced and presented by singuhr — projects, is inspired by fluidic forms. The models for her »fluid anatomy« are components of so-called »liquid (or: fluid) computers«, devices from the mid-20th century in which fluid mechanical components were used. Vreme Moser is not only fascinated by the fragile beauty and mechanical brilliance of these apparatuses. For the artist, they also have the potential to question technological narratives of the present day due to their concept of time and rhythm. Vreme Moser’s system with its oscillators, valves, distributors and connecting hoses permeates the entire exhibition space of the Meinblau project space. All areas are integrated and all processes are visible to visitors. The result is a walk-in, dynamic and transparent sound space. »Fluid Anatomy« is the artist’s first solo exhibition in Berlin.
Ioana Vreme Moser is a Romanian sound artist engaged with hardware electronics, speculative research, and tactile experimentation. In her practice, she uses rough electronic processes to obtain different materialities of sound. She places electronic components and control voltages in different situations of interaction with her body, organic materials, lost and found items, and environmental stimuli. From these collisions, synthesized sounds emerge to carry personal narrations and observations on the history of electronics, their production chains, wastelands, and entanglements in the natural world.
