We finished a new installation called “Tschumifoon” for the beautiful tschumipaviljoen in Groningen.

Out of the glass Tschumipavilione we build an instrument wich is made playable by the audience via mobile phone. The glass windows are transformed in to speakers, and 8 independent sound channels can be selected and controlled by phone.
Inside the pavilion 8 groups of mechanical instruments are installed that are triggered by the single sound channels.

The TSCHUMIFOON was running from 28 April till 2 July 2007.
The opening was Saturday 28 April at 4 PM.

We played a YOKOMONO set at the DEAF07 festival in Rotterdam.
“On 14 April V2_ celebrates its 25th birthday with an exceptionally dynamic night. A surprising lineup of groundbreaking artists who have bridged new media, performance, image and sound in the past 25 years will perform. Along with Staalplaat Soundsystem’s “vinyl killers”, Edwin van der Heide’s laser performances and appearances by Maurice Benayoun and Jean-Baptiste Barrière, V2_ will bring you Germany’s Mouse on Mars and Ryoji Ikeda, Japan’s best-known composer of electronic music.” (DEAF website)
