Timo Kahlen 25-05-2022
In Timo Kahlen's interactive film and sound projections, 21 works of net art (2005 - 2020), complex and subtle compositions of text, image, sound and vibration are generated - always different and live - according to the varying position, direction and speed, and voluntary pauses of the computer mouse, as it hovers and clicks on the touch-sensitive visual surface. Invisible, multiple embedded layers of sound, noise and vibration form complex acoustic compositions, as visitors & users explore the individual works, and their mouse cursor meanders across the visual projections.

________________________________________________________________

With the end of browser support for the interactive Flash Player on December 31, 2020 all of Timo Kahlen's works of net art have finally vanished from the internet. They have become invisible & inaudible.

However, even today, by simply installing the Ruffle add-on in your browser (see ruffle.rs), Kahlen's interactive works can be re-animated (emulated) and experienced on your device.
