This is the website of the sound and media artist Anke Eckardt.

Since 2008 her work encompasses sculptures, installations as well as workshops and a theoretical discourse
on the topic of the phenomenology of sounds.

The aesthetic experience can be considered as the foundation of the world.
It is in its nature, that this experience is a social and a political one at the same time.

|||| CURRENT INSTALLATION ||||



BETWEEN | YOU | AND | ME is a wall of light and sound.
Like any other wall, it redefines an existing architectural space. Instead of stone, this wall consists of dynamic, ephemeral media: beams of light within the air and ultrasound. Unlike countless separative and immaterial walls in society BETWEEN | YOU | AND | ME is a wall people can walk through.

||||   EXHIBITION OF AN ENHANCED VERSION OF
       ‘BETWEEN | YOU | AND | ME’ (click link)  @ the
       CYNETART FESTIVAL 2011 (click link).


‘BETWEEN | You | AND | ME’ (multi-sensory installation by Anke Eckardt, 2011) is a wall of light and sound. The enhanced version was presented for the first time.

The 15th edition of the CYNETART festival for computer-based art is very much characterised by the essence of the Festspielhaus Hellerau that opened 100 years ago. Between November 16th and 26th 2011 the building designed by Heinrich Tessenow especially for the proclaimed “Body Liberation“ movement will be transformed into a space laboratory where cultural, artistic and academic as well as technological dimensions of contemporary and future body perception can be experienced. Visitors are invited to explore various experimental setups at the interface between naturalness and artificiality and thus to experience their corporeality in new and different ways.

Date: 16 - 26 November 2011
Adress: Festspielhaus Hellerau, Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse 56 01109 Dresden, Germany
