Opening tomorrow, Friday 12 June:
“Steina: Playback” is the first retrospective in Germany of Steina Vasulka (b. 1940, Reykjavík, Iceland), a trailblazer of video and media art. A classically trained violinist, Steina turned to video in the late 1960s and approached the medium with musical sensitivity. In her practice, sound generates image or vice versa. Video becomes vibration, a current that translates elements into environments. Carrying rhythm and resonance into her elec­tro­nic experiments, Steina treats the signal as a medium, transforming perception into some­thing mutable and alive. Read more in the link below.

Opnun á morgun, föstudaginn 12. júní:
Steina: Playback er fyrsta yfirlitssýning Steinu Vasulka í Þýskalandi (f. 1950 í Reykjavík). Hún er þekkt fyrir að vera frumkvöðull á sviði vídeólistar og margmiðlunar innan myndlistar. Hún lagði stund á klassískt fiðlunám, en beindi áhuga sínum að vídeólist á sjöunda áratug síðustu aldar og má segja að hún hafi nálgast miðilinn af tónlistarlegri næmni. Í verkum hennar býr hljóð til mynd eða öfugt, myndband verður að titringi og Steina flytur takt og óm í rafrænum tilraunum sínum. Hún leikur sér með rafræn merki, sem hún telur vera miðilinn sjálfan og umbreytir skynjun áhorfandans svo úr verða verk sem eru breytileg og lifandi. Hægt er að lesa meira um sýninguna í hlekk að neðan.

Die Ausstellung im Haus der Kunst ist die erste Retrospektive von Steina in Deutsch­­land, einer Wegbereiterin der Video- und Medienkunst.
