Influences on us were various artistic directions, Lettrisme, Dada... also Burroughs' Cut-Up techniques, Punk and others. The common threads for us in these directions were on the one hand: the search for what lies beneath the surface of the music or the moving image (the samples from film and music we choose for their potentiality, not their hookline). On the other hand, we have always been interested in taking communication of music and entertainment to other levels, questioning the role of artist, the role of public personality.
Formed at the Documenta'97 exhibition, Rechenzentrum search for new processes of music/moving image production, while refining forms of presentation which create on-stage dialogue between audio and video. At the outset of Rechenzentrum we decided and defined our project as a "band" in which audio and video are equally important; we use video as an instrument, and we treat music visually.
We release material in numerous formats, testing the possibilities and limitations of each, often involving cooperations with artists based in other media/genres, working with choreographers & dancers, the projected moving image being the only source of light on stage, all sound derived from live intervention.
