Fluxus und darüber hinaus | Museum Ludwig, Köln

Art that moves, makes sounds, and challenges conventional ways of seeing: The exhibition “Fluxus and Beyond” at the Museum Ludwig explored an art movement that has been challenging the boundaries between music, performance, film, and the visual arts since the 1960s.

Across approximately 1,000 square meters of exhibition space, 235 MEDIA handled the media technology implementation for 19 media and interactive stations. The challenge was to technically integrate a wide variety of audiovisual works while taking their respective presentation formats into account.

The setup included both classic CRT monitors and modern displays, large-format projections, and numerous audio stations with headphones. Special projector mounts were custom-made for the high-ceilinged exhibition spaces, while various media players enabled the playback of the individual video and audio works.

In addition to installing and setting up the media technology, 235 MEDIA handled the programming of the media players as well as necessary adjustments to the provided content. The technical implementation was tailored to the respective artistic works and their varying requirements for image, sound, and presentation.

The result was a media technology setup that brings historical and contemporary media art to life in its various forms of expression without drawing attention to itself.
