"Gummibaum (for Thomas Bayrle)" has its roots in the long-standing collaboration between Thomas Bayrle and Bernhard Schreiner. Based on signals generated by activity within the rubber plant, Schreiner creates a live sound performance that explores the interplay of system, chance, and environment.

Admission with a valid exhibition ticket

Bernhard Schreiner’s performance is based on signals generated by activity within the rubber plant itself. These minimal fluctuations in the measured resistance of the induced electric field (galvanic response) are processed and modulated live in a modular synthesizer. The plant’s moisture content, light, environmental influences, chance, the specific configuration of the synthesizer system, as well as Schreiner’s real-time interventions in this system are all equally relevant to the output of the sound performance.
