Umwelt theory states that our world is not one unified, objectively observable whole but made up of the subjective impressions of its innumerable, diverse inhabitants. A hummingbirds sensory world would look very different from a humans to say nothing of that of an artificial intelligence. This new collaborative work from architect and visual artist Laura Mannelli and Belgium-born, Glasgow-based Sonia Killmann riffs on umwelt theory to depict a world comprised of overlapping sense-impressions, contrasting machinic visuals with a restless, teeming, organic soundtrack. A Cryptic Commission 2024. Supported by Kultur | lx Arts Council Luxembourg and Ministry of Culture of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Developed at Cove Park. This work is presented as an installation (see running schedule below), with three unique improvised performances by Sonia Killmann on Saturday 21 September at 12:30, Sunday 22 September at 12:30, and Friday 27 September at 14:00.
