NOME is pleased to present "Order+Noise (Interface I)", a new installation by
Ralf Baecker.
Like a tug of war, the installation "Order+Noise (Interface I)" negotiates the
boundary between two interacting systems. Motors, strings and elastic bands are
set in motion by the random signals of Geiger-Müller tubes which pick up the
natural ambient radiation of the earth. The installation explores the interface
at which these elements influence one another – a continual process of kinetics
that causes complex and ever-changing movements to emerge.
Research and experiments essential to the realization of this exhibition were
carried out within the framework of Baecker’s research project "Time of
Non-Reality" at the Graduate School of the University of the Arts Berlin.
Ralf Baecker's focus is on the fundamental structures and conditions of our
digital world. In his works he addresses the material scope of technology and
its cultural construction. His systems seek to expose the relation between
thinking and the world, thus turning his machines into epistemological objects
rather than just tools.
Ralf Baecker’s work has received several awards including an honorary mention
at the Prix Ars Electronica, Linz, second prize at the VIDA 14.0 Art &
Artificial Life Award, Madrid, and a stipend from the Edith-Russ-Haus for Media
Art Oldenburg in 2012. His work has been exhibited at the International
Triennial of New Media Art at the National Art Museum of China, Beijing, Malmö
Konsthall (Sweden), Künstlerhaus Wien (Austria), Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin
(Germany), Center for Contemporary Art WINZAVOD Moscow (Russia), and Laboral
Centro de Arte Gijon (Spain). Ralf Baecker is currently a fellow at the
Graduate School at the University of the Arts Berlin.
