PIANO FOR NON-SENSES / EINE POST-FLUXUS-AKTION NACH NAM JUNE PAIK

Nam June Paik (1932-2006), the inventor of video art, was initially a composer and was sent to Germany by his parents so that he would not end up as a communist in North Korea. His early surviving musical scores are hardly known and form the basis of this post-Fluxus campaign. Dongkyu Leo Kim discovers the unknown piano music of Nam June Paik's teacher Sun-nam Kim and fuses K-pop, Schönberg, Stockhausen and traditional Korean music in his improvisations. Maximilian Brauer explores the question of whether Nam June Paik's principle of spectral piano-sound splitting is still applicable, and Yoshiko Waki ​​revives a grand piano to channel Shigeko Kubota.

Be prepared and repeat it: HACK! This call is the beginning of another form of etude. Is it still worth distinguishing between the spheres or should the difference between the analog finger world and the virtual world of spheres be abandoned? Paik Nam June whispers to you: “I make Technology ridiculous!”
