Article Theme :-

Carsten Nicolai uses electronic sound and visual art as a kind of hybrid- tool to create his own microscopic view of creative processes. His world looks more like a laboratory, constantly morphing in space and time, influenced by the impulses of this media world. Sound, the message as code, becomes the primary theme via visualized sound performance.
