Peter Kutin | Florian Kindlinger

In their cinematographic works, Florian Kindlinger and Peter Kutin always align the visual focus with an auditory perception. Conceptually carefully elaborated sound worlds, field recordings and compositions always determine the organisation of the visual level. At their core, the duo's works are sonic documentations, each told through images that emerge from the sound level. The duo has consistently developed this format over the last ten years. Their films have been presented internationally at numerous film and art festivals.

REAKTOR features constellations of satellites (Ten Nightskys), the electromagnetic whirring, pumping and flickering of Las Vegas lights (Desert Bloom) and the shattering and breaking of bulletproof glass (The Fifth Wall). In (Heat), a classical ensemble interprets Schubert's Winterreise as an ephemeral thermal image.

LIVE AV - PETER KUTIN & PATRIK LECHNER

Patrik Lechner uses AI-trained neuronal networks to create hard-to-categorise and ever-morphing tissue-alike structures that respond and interact with Peter Kutin’s brutalist sonic gestures, being counterpointed by eruptions triggered by the custom-made light-audio-feedback devices of the latter. The duo premiered at MUTEK Montreal in 2022.

Review :

“The Austrian duo contrasted sharply … it kicked off as an oscillator bursted in, hitting a deep, reverberant first thump similar to a steel beam hitting a container. The bang repeated itself, accelerating until deafening, accompanied at full speed by a strobe until blinding. The senses were saturated but luckily the duo moved on to a less aggressive segment fueled by disembodied sounds. The visuals were on par with the performance, taking the form of membranes that vibrate, warp and stretch as if subjected to fatal surgeries. … an intense sensory experience.“
