THE DEEP REST - We will see

In resistance to a world whose linguistic, political and rational contents have been used up, critical producers perform a Deep Sound Opera during STWST48x8 DEEP and over two nights. It is made up of different acts that are connected/unconnected to form a larger whole. Authors, Artists und Sound artists work with language, text and discourse in the broadest sense. Performers and autonomous initiatives act from the experience and practice of DIY, DIWO and DIT. With the different materialities of art, language and sound, the aim is TRANSFORMATION: With self-referential spirals of knowledge, with linguistic meta-levels, with content beyond text, with transferred meaning and rhythm, with lowered frequencies of knowledge, with breath that has passed through the body, with transformed experience, with emotion and sensuality, with the SPACE BEHIND THE EYES and with the FORCE BETWEEN THINKING AND FEELING, the rational approaches of text, reflection, the free form of text cascades as well as the irrationality of sound surfaces are confronted. In the depths there are no words left. This is where we mine, this is where meaning lies, this is where the cables of language lie in chaos and mess. Connected or disconnected, an open sound format emerges to which one can perhaps still DANCE.

In the STWST workshop, at the entrance to the main venue and, so to speak, before it goes up to the Deep Sound Opera nights, an old sound system and several visual devices rush between No Discourse and content-sensory Deepdive. Here both the visual mess and a sound system are fed with texts, here the text of the world is deformed and transformed, here the lib(retto) to the Deep Sound Opera is already destroyed at the entrance. More to The Lib.

The Kreishell installation, an analogue drum machine in the STWST main venue, becomes an act in its own right at some at Saturday Night, first Act, but is also a room-filling stage for the other acts on Deep Sound Opera nights. Kreishell remains an abstraction of a minimised stage area on Friday night, charging up with the first acts on Friday to be subsequently set up for Saturday night, going into operation itself in a DIY, DIT and DIWO circus, and expanding with more acts throughout the night. More to Kreishell.

Possibly the Kreishell machine will be available for public testing. Possibly the machine's home-brewed beer will be served to exhibition visitors. We will see what the Deep Rest will bring.

The Deep Sound Opera format is a project of STWST. The Stadtwerkstatt / STWST has existed since 1979 and is the first autonomous art and culture house in Linz. In the context of new media and media art, the place has a history of significant projects since the 1980s. Current departments of STWST: New Art Contexts, STWST Media, STWST Club, Cafe Strom. In a constant practice of redefining art contexts, STWST is about positions that form between art, discourse, media, criticism, music, underground and the mixed spheres of the Stadtwerkstatt. https://stwst.at/
