The big wind tunnel
Historic aircraft engine test site (1933 - 35) and now a part of the Aerodynamic Park of the Humboldt University in Berlin-Adlershof. Standing there you would experience a site-specific sound art "Air Borne" (Stefan Krüskemper with the collaboration of Karlheinz Essl).
The basis for the sound pieces was provided by authentic audio files from the German radio archive (Deutsche Rundfunkarchiv) in Babelsberg. Together with the Viennese composer Karlheinz Essl, this material was drawn upon to electronically create ‘remembrance images’ of the place and its associations using software specially programmed by Essl. As the sounds last for a short period of time whereas the passages of silence which separate them are long and the spatial distance between the individual positions is large, it will take years to completely experience the composition as a whole.
