Bernhard Rasinger
Schizophonia
The lecture deals with the exercise to directly visualize electric signals as an counteract to the schizophonic principle, reduction as inspiration and artist collaboration on a modular level.
Schizophonia - The decoupling of sound from its original source
Since Thomas Alva Edison’s invention of the phonograph it is possible to record and playback sound. This technical innovation has led to schizophonic practice of sound experience on a mass level.
Bernhard Rasinger performs on a system that combines a modular synthesizer and state of the art laser technology to create a lucidly hypnotic audiovisual experience. (BR-Laser, Tearing light from sound, LaserBros.) Bernhard Rasinger is an engineer, visual sound artist and cofounder of the art association NewJörg Vienna.
