Sound & Visions
mumok Architecture Turns into Giant Resonance Chamber at Museumsquartier. A Performative Sound Tour with CID RIM and Oliver Hangl to Kick Off ESC
Free Admission!
Under the title Sounds & Visions, the artists CID RIM and Oliver Hangl conceive a performative sound tour in front of and inside the mumok building that allows visitors to experience the museum as an auditory and architectural resonance chamber.
The building’s basalt-lava facade serves as a lithophone and is activated with live sounds by the musician CID RIM. Following the thirty-minute act, visitors enter the building to encounter a sound and speech intervention by the performance artist Oliver Hangl.
SOUND OF WALL: CID RIM
Live Sound Performance
Concert performance of mumok’s outer and inner facade. As a drummer and electronic musician, CID RIM expands the percussive possibilities of the facade through electronic sound modulation.

Following a precise action plan, activists mingle with visitors, humming, whistling, or singing melodies that lodge themselves as infinite loops in the minds of unsuspecting listeners.
