Artist Bio

Tim Shaw (born 1987) works with sound, light, and communication media to create performances, installations, and site-specific interventions. His work demonstrates an extremely diverse practice. He has invented artistic methods to listen to the sound world of insects, created augmented sound walks and performances for high-voltage devices, transmitted radio broadcasts through trees, and extracted sound material from rocks. Interdisciplinary collaboration is central to his work: he regularly collaborates with experts from a wide range of fields, from musicology and medicine to geology and astrophysics. In 2023, Shaw participated in the Collegium Helveticum Fellowship Program, which promotes the exchange between science and art.

Marianne Halter & Mario Marchisella ~ Singsong 2025 (for Therese)

Podcast

Polyphonic Fields by Abhishek Mathur

Marianne Halter and Mario Marchisella are interested in disturbing the familiar in a way which makes one question everyday perspectives. The landscape of the moor is invaded by the songs of birds who imitate mechanical and electronic sounds as a strategy to survive and adapt to their surroundings.

Artist Bio

Since 2008, artist Marianne Halter (born 1970) and musician Mario Marchisella (born 1972) have been collaborating on artistic projects that explore space and action, sound and image, and are typically presented as videos and site-specific installations. Starting with everyday actions and places, they make their temporality palpable. The specific context plays a crucial role, whether as a contrast to or break with the performance venue, where the work lands like a UFO; or through the landscape, its use and appearance, or the history (or histories) of the place becoming the subject of the work.
