Carsten Nicolai

Carsten Nicolai's stimulating audio-visual art challenges our perception and worldview. This book explores the work of the internationally renowned German artist. Art is freedom. Everything is possible. Carsten Nicolai creates his work according to the strict application of his very own rules--and has established an impressively clear artistic perspective. Parallel Lines Cross at Infinity showcases Nicolai's fascinating artwork from the past ten years, which explores the boundaries and intersections between art, nature, and science. Carsten Nicolai uses patterns, series, codes, grids, mathematical equations, televisions, computers, neon tubes, and other devices. He visualizes phenomena that ...

Berlin-based artist and musician Carsten Nicolai, born in 1965, is one of very few contemporary artists who convincingly work in the conflict zone between art, science and sound. Equally respected in the art world and the electronic music community, his works lay open the functional principles of codification, self-organization and perception so that the hand of the artist recedes and the classical notion of an oeuvre is put into question. Drawing on sounds available in our everyday environment, Nicolai creates soundscapes and installations redolent with clicks and blips from telephones, faxes and other technological detritus: he creates an elementary, universal language that eludes rationality, requesting instead to simply be perceived by the individual. This survey spans from Nicolai's well-known 1997 Documenta X project, "Infinity"--in which 72 short audio works were discretely embedded throughout Kassel's public spaces--to new pieces produced for a recent solo exhibition at Zurich's Haus Konstruktiv.

Unter den ernst zu nehmenden Grenzgängern zwischen Kunst, Musik, Technik und Natur ist er längst zum Impulsgeber geworden. Nicolais Bilder und Objekte sind elegant, schön, schlicht, kühl. In Objekten und Versuchsanordnungen lotet er die menschlichen Sinne aus, animiert Flüssigkeiten mit Tonsignalen oder testet den Sehsinn mit Lichtanordnungen. Mittels Kunst macht der Künstler Dinge sichtbar,die in der Wissenschaft längst ihre Anschaulichkeit verloren haben.Nicolai zeigt hier seine wichtigsten Arbeiten sowie Installationen, die er eigens für die Ausstellung in der Schirn Kunsthalle konzipiert hat. Dieses Buch ermöglicht erstmals einen umfassenden Einblick in seine Arbeit. Schirn Kunsthallt Frankfurt, 20.01.2004 bis 28.03.2004

In Grid Index, Carsten Nicolai created a visual lexicon of patterns and grid systems. Now Moiré Index is dedicated to his exploration of the moiré effect--a phenomenon that can be created by the overlay of lines. Although such interference patterns are mostly considered to be unwanted side effects, they are actually extremely interesting from an aesthetic perspective. Based upon years of research, Nicolai has analyzed and systematically unlocked fundamental structures of crucial importance to the visualization of data. As the first extensive visual compendium of these interference patterns, Moiré Index is the definitive reference book for designers, visual artists, architects, researchers, mathematicians, or anyone else who wants to use its content as a basis for graphic designs. A CD accompanies the book and contains not only the featured moirés as digital files, but also individual elements that can be used to create an almost endless amount of new overlays. These files can be used effortlessly with virtually any platform, operating system, and graphics software and can be applied in every field of visual culture.
