This new limited edition box set has been created in celebration of Carsten Nicolai’s much-loved interactive installation bausatz-noto, now showing at The Vinyl Factory: Reverb exhibition at 180 Studios. Four Technics SL-1210 turntables are integrated into a table. On each of these turntables lies a specially produced vinyl record with endless grooves, each of which provides the visitor with the opportunity to play several sound loops endlessly. The table functions as an instrument, allowing the viewer to layer and superimpose the sound loops and to create perpetually new combinations. Headphones on the table invite the visitor to attentively follow the emergence of the sound surface.

Carsten Nicolai’s practice investigates the boundaries between visual and audio art forms within an integrated artistic approach. Influenced by scientific reference systems, Nicolai often engages mathematical patterns such as grids and codes, as well as error, randomisation and self-organising structures. Under the pseudonym noto, Nicolai experiments with sound to create his own semiotic language, and acoustic and visual symbols.
