COLLUMINA V - Ghost in the Maschine

In the organizer's words:

In the KulturKubus, Haus der Architektur, an interdisciplinary theater media installation by Navid Razavi will be shown as part of COLLUMINA V in cooperation with the Schauspielschule der Keller and director Lily McLeish. The performance will be shown at two different times in the evening, 19:00 h and 20:30 h.

"Ghosts in the Machine" is a transdisciplinary experiment between theater and new media. The media artist Navid Razavi combines his multidimensional installation SURFACE and the director Lily McLeish texts from different centuries on the subject of AI and ghosts.

SURFACE is an immersive, kinetic AV installation that explores how materials can be synthesized into sound and sounds into images. Alternative dimensions are created through dialogic play with students from the drama school Der Keller. Between the individual performances, visitors will have the opportunity to interact with the light-sound-movement installation.

Navid Razavi is a transdisciplinary media artist who specializes in the development of new media projects with a focus on immersion and interactivity.

and interactivity. His artistic approach consists of forensically deconstructing materials and merging their components into hybrids of audiovisual performances and interactive installations. He uses techniques of creative coding, 3D design, real-time renderings, lighting designs and generative video and sound synthesis in multi-channel setups.

Lily McLeish is a British-German director and curator working in the fields of theater, dance, opera, light and media art, film, video installation and podcast.

She usually works at interfaces, her works and productions explore hybrid forms, an exploration of the unknown and often include projection as part of the design.

The drama school DER KELLER Köln is the most traditional private drama school in NRW and one of the oldest private schools for drama training in Germany.

The actors are Hannah Marie Bahlo, Viona Canoska, Maximilian Sassinek
