„20 vanishing works of Net Art“ by Timo Kahlen 2005 - 2020

„20 vanishing works of Net Art“ by Timo Kahlen 2005 - 2020


Rare and ephemeral, 20 interactive works of Net Art by Timo Kahlen will vanish on December 31, 2020. As Flash Player support for your internet browser finally ends.

Your last chance to see, hear and ‚touch‘ these interactive works, complex compositions of layers of sound embedded into a touch-sensitive visual projection, is now. From January 1, 2021 Kahlen’s works will be fragments in the history of obsolete forms of media art and technology.

The original interactive works are visible and audible at:

www.staubrauschen.de/compatible/ (YesNo, 2011; re-released 2016)


Plus: On December 31, 2020 - existing just for one day - one last and final interactive work of Net Art from the series (still in progress, under construction) will be released at www.staubrauschen.de/error
Watch out for this new piece.

To view and experience the interactive works on your Windows or Mac OSX computer, please install and allow the Flash Player plug-in in your favorite browser (such as Firefox, Safari, Chrome). Android or iOS tablets and smartphones are generally not compatible with Flash.

Please, turn on your loudspeakers - or use your headphones. The interactive, ‚touch-sensitive’ works are generated live (and always different): according to the varying position, direction and speed, and voluntary pauses of the computer mouse, as it hovers and clicks on the touch-sensitive visual surface.

Invisible, multiple embedded layers of sound, noise and vibration form complex acoustic compositions, as the visitor explores the individual works, and his/her cursor meanders across the visual projections.


Enjoy !


P.S.: For those, who are curious, but not adventurous enough to allow Flash Player on your computer,
there’s a fine documentary video of all 20 works (HD, 24:24 min, stereo). See See https://vimeo.com/441602551
Of course, without the interactive qualities.
