Abstract

Energie_Passagen [Energy_Passages] – Reading and (De)Scribing the City
The project »Energie_Passagen« reproduces the linguistic space of the city in form of a data flow. Hundreds of catchwords taken from current newspaper reports appear in a projected »information flow« and they are spoken by artificial computer voices. As soon as passers-by select individual words, thematically related networks of terms start to perform in this flow, which can also be experienced as an audiovisual echo. Thus text is detached from its linear context and it is staged as a medial reading in urban space.
The installation »Energie_Passagen« was shown from October 28th to November 29th, 2004 at Salvatorplatz in Munich. It is a project of the City Munich, Kulturreferat & the artists within the initiative of »Ortstermine 2004 – art in public space«. »Energie_Passagen« incorporated in Munich the local daily newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
