ANYX is the solo project of Berlin-based composer and performance artist Anna Lucia Nissen, working across experimental songwriting, electronics and live performance.
Originally trained as a sculptor, she gradually shifted her practice from physical objects towards voice and performance. While her materials have changed, she continues to sculpt songs with the same attention to form, space and resonance.
Starting with voice and language as her primary material, she builds visceral performances in which voice and melody move between fragile intimacy and full-bodied intensity. As these songs unfold, voice, body and space become intertwined, blurring the boundaries between concert, ritual and performance art. Pipe organ, piano, synthesizers and processed field recordings shape these songs, while drones, looping percussion and shifting textures envelop the listener.
Recent performances include appearances at Volksbühne and KW Institute for Contemporary Art, as well as supporting These New Puritans at Lido Berlin and Circuit des Yeux at Kantine am Berghain. For the album release concert, ANYX presents music from Starlink alongside her solo repertoire. The evening also features guest appearances by harpist Andy Aquarius and lap steel guitarist Kristof Hahn (Swans) on selected songs from the album.
Inger Illel has been in the music and techno industry since his early twenties. His journey, as he likes to call it, started in his home, the middle part of the European part of Russia, which made a big influence on his cold and dark techno sets. One of the starting points of the journey back home were illegal events called VDRBZG, created around 2013.
When in Czech republic, Inger was a part of the first ONYX parties and also a Cukr resident with another alias known as Inne Lyd. At this moment he met Alex Nedoboy (visual artist: Predzemsar) and they came up with an idea of Mezibranska. Together Igor and Alex had a vision of community, where everything was possible. One big family known mainly for its energy and vibes. Connecting music with visuals, Mezibranska made you feel like you're at home.
Isolation ist eine raumgreifende Installation, die ihre Wirkung durch mehrere angeordnete Filzelemente erzeugt. Der Filz in seiner ursprünglichen Funktion, als isolierendes und wärmespeicherndes Material umhüllt schützt und schafft einen scheinbar sicheren Raum. Allerdings ist die vermeintliche Abgeschlossenheit durchbrochen, die durch kleinere und größere Löcher in der Filzfläche fragmentarische Blicke ins Außen ermöglichen. Auf diese Art wird die Frage nach Erinnerung und Verdrängung gestellt: Womit wollen wir uns konfrontieren und was fällt uns leichter auszublenden?
In beleuchteten Schaukästen liegen abgenagte Biberstöcke als materielle Zeugnisse intensiver Biber-Aktivität, während über Kopfhörer Lautäußerungen und Geräusche die akustische Präsenz des Unsichtbaren erfahrbar machen. Wie auch Kunst und Subkultur in unerwarteten Nischen, Zwischenräumen und den Randzeiten des Tages stattfindet, nutzen auch eine Vielzahl an Wildtieren im urbanen Raum die Zeiten und Orte abseits überbordender menschlicher Hegemonialansprüche, kultivieren Gegenkonzepte und konviviale Lebensweisen oder setzen ökologische Infrastrukturprojekte um.
Eine riesige Kugel aus 1008 CDs verwandelt den gesamten Raum in ein gleißendes, blendendes Lichtmeer. Aufnahmen von Sonnenstürmen und alten Science-Fiction-Filmen werden auf die Skulptur projiziert und ermöglichen es den Besucher*innen, direkt in die Sonne zu blicken. Diese Installation ist eine Liebeserklärung an Speichermedien, die zunehmend an Beliebtheit verlieren. So erzeugt dieser dem Untergang geweihte Stern ein letztes farbenprächtiges Spektakel der CD.
The online space shapes bodies, values, desires, and identities. Certain figures have emerged that embody the logics of the Capitalocene in their most concentrated form, navigating the tension between two forces: physical and mental value, media recognition and empowerment. CYRA is a research and installation project that maps these online figures through the visual and conceptual counter-language of the Etruscans, an ancient Italian civilization whose society differed significantly from those of the Greeks and Romans of the same period. The installation focuses on the narratives of life and death. Etruscans believed in a divine entity, in spirits. Positive was the sense of life and terrifying was the feeling of death. What will these figures really bring with them into the underworld?
