TUNE. Joint listening of “FAVN”
Florian Hecker (1975, Augsburg) works with synthetic sound, the listening process, and the audience's auditory experience, to create installations and performances. At stake in the work is how sound is received, processed, and transformed by the listening body, inviting audiences to engage with composite sonic environments that question the nature of perception and listening itself.
For TUNE, Hecker presents “FAVN”, a thirteen-channel sound piece in the Westgalerie, from 4.9. - 14.9.2026, a live performance on Friday 11.9, and a roundtable discussion on Saturday 12.9, to explore the rich ideas his work explores and generates.
On Friday, 11.9., Hecker performs new work in relation to his latest release Natural Selection live. The tracks in the release connect to a cluster of queries the artist has been exploring for the last few years, ideas related to automated file selection, database-generating sequencing systems and the prospect of synthetic cognition. They were written in parallel with a range of Hecker's recent multi-disciplinary inquiries: 2022's Galerie Neu exhibition TEMPLEXTURES, that examined machine listening and charted uncategorizable auditory sensations; 2021's diffusion of olfactory sonics and evaluation of the perception of space 'RESYNTHESIZSERS'; and 'INSPECTION', an algorithmic reconstruction of sounds that uses human hearing to parse their vital timbral characteristics.
