MUR – experience underwater.

The water rushes, powerful and unstoppable. Everything is in motion and nothing is ever the same as it was. This city is the same as it always was? Its waters always the same? Spend a moment longer on this island and you will understand: No one sees – or hears – the same river twice.

KLANGLICHT 2018

Philip Ross is a designer of interactive lighting concepts and a light artist. In his work he explores, among other things, the extent to which the encounter between the environment and people can generate meaning. Joep le Blanc is a sound designer with a degree in industrial design. He combines many years of experience as a professional musician with knowledge of abstract psychoacoustics, which gives his work a high recognition value. With their joint project ‘Transience’, the Dutch artists take up Vito Acconci’s idea of the floating Mur Island and pay a great tribute to its builder, the first anniversary of whose death was celebrated at Klanglicht in 2018. Real-time underwater recordings of the Mur are transformed into a unique composition of sound and light that makes its way across the island. Following the ancient idea of “everything flows”, this art installation is also in constant flux.
