Felix Blume

He uses sound as a basic material in sound pieces, videos, actions and installations. His work is focused on listening, it invites us to a different perception of our surroundings. His process is often collaborative, working with communities, using public space as the context within which he explores and presents his works. He is interested in myths and their contemporary interpretation, in human dialogues both with inhabited natural and urban contexts, in what voices can tell beyond words.

I enjoyed Felix’s lecture and enjoyed the pieces he shared. His installation work is something I find inspiring and would like to incorporate into my own. Looking at his work i liked SWARM which is an installation that uses a number of tiny speakers that play recorded bee sounds ranging from individual bees to a hive and gives a different experience depending on where the audience places themselves. I like the environmental perspective of this piece and also the ability to change your own listening experience depending on your own position.
