Lexachast, a collaboration between PAN label founder Bill Kouligas, futuristic sound design duo Amnesia Scanner, and Dutch artist Harm van den Dorpel connects transmediale and CTM Festival in a joint evening at Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Their mangled, dystopian soundtrack revolves around van den Dorpel’s generative live-streaming visuals, based on algorithms filtering random NSFW content from different online sources. These visuals appear as potentially provocative surprises—even to the performers, referencing our culpability and vulnerability at the foot of torrential material overkill from the Internet.
