Zürich_14.07.06 is part of the ongoing project staTdT_kunst. The title has two different meanings: 'statt Kunst' (instead of art) deals with the role and significance of (contemporary) art in our society, while 'stadt kunst' (city art) uses field recordings of specific sounds and voices, photos and videos sourced in the city or documentary-style interviews with people passing by as basic material for an audiovisual live-performance. Filtered through the artists subjective point of view, this footage is deconstructed, categorised, transformed, and then re-assembled into a site specific mutlimedia live performance. The project 'staTdT_kunst' began with a performance in in Linz in March 2002 and has grown to include new cities and new results. A 'snapshot' of a specific day will be developed further for Zürch. On July the 14th audio and video materials will be collected during the course of a single day. These materials may included city sounds and voices, videos, photos and recordings of the workshops and lecture of the Digital Art Week that focus on the theme of the day, Malleable Scores, ReScoring and Live- Coding. These will then be transformed and remixed during their performance in real-time into the newest version of a staTdt_kunst project.
