The Unstrument emphasizes the physical aspect of sound through exercises that look at how various forms of waves in space intersect with bodies and inhabit objects and environments. This course aims to draw out a variety of critical positions through the act of listening, making matter resonate and deconstructing the idea of noise. Here, sound is a medium meant to be explored as a raw material for art-making that includes installation, performance, do-it-yourself (DIY) electronics and happenings. | The Unstrument emphasizes the physical aspect of sound through exercises that look at how various forms of waves in space intersect with bodies and inhabit objects and environments.

The Unstrument legt ein Hauptaugenmerk auf die Ergründung physikalischer Aspekte von Klang und wie dessen unterschiedliche Wellenformen mit Körpern im Raum interagieren und diesen Raum und darin befindliche Objekte beeinflussen. Dieser Kurs zielt darauf ab durch den Vorgang des Hörens, den Akt Materie in Schwingung zu versetzen als auch Dekonstruktivismus der Vorstellung von Noise unterschiedliche kritische Positionen zu skizzieren. Hier soll Klang auf seine Nutzbarkeit als Rohmaterial für Kunst, die Installation, Performance, DIY Elektronik und Happenings einschliesst, untersucht werden.
