Leitmotif: IN~DELAY / IN~VERZUG
Under the slogan IN~DELAY this year, contemporary artistic examinations of the burning questions of our time will take place.
IN~DELAY occurs, for example, as a critical description of the state of affairs when it comes to climate policy measures that, according to science, are still not sufficiently implemented. We are in default as a company. Politics is under pressure. Sit-ins indicate that they interrupt the monotonous flow of the streets and delay climate-damaging travel by car.
IN~DELAY also functions as a democratic moment, for example when it comes to the alternative use of empty buildings. So-called postponed planning is a method that can be used to increase participation in the discourse on the subsequent use of public spaces: decisions that have not yet been made should be postponed if possible. More time means more information means a better basis for decision-making?
IN~DELAY but also refers to various methods of acoustic delay effects (delay, hall, echo, reverb). The acoustics are again a special challenge in the old indoor swimming pool in Gallneukirchen. The adaptation of the empty building requires, among other things, an examination of the flutter echo, a sound phenomenon that is caused by reflection in the room and by delay effects.
IN~DELAYa little late (but not too late), that pulls SOUND festival into the public building that has been closed since 2013. After a first interlude at SOUND Festival 2022 the former swimming pool becomes the resonance space for Sound ~ Art ~ Surprises for the first time
