Inventionen 2002
S0UNDB1TS has been originally developed for this sound installation by Robin Minard at the Inventionen festival in Berlin in June 2002.
The installation S0UNDB1TS 01 at Inventionen has been created for the Stadtbad Oderberger Straße, a public bath built in 1900. In 2002, the bath celebrated the 100th anniversary of its inauguration in 1902.
For this installation, a 12 x 48 matrix of 576 loudspeakers has been mounted to the front wall of the empty swimming pool.
The sound produced by the installation was based on textures moving in waves and geometrical trajectories over the wall. Embedded into the particular acoustics of the bath (reminding of a cathedral) the installation created a unique listening experience. Visitors could freely walk around in the bath and enter the empty pool to listen to the installation from very different perspectives.
The 576 cables from the S0UNDB1TS driver units to the loudspeakers where running as a long braid all the way through the pool.
The technical team of the Inventionen installation included Manfred Fox, Dirk Koritnik, Ludger Henning, Lila Karbowska and Remy Müller.
