This piece is a text sound piece, loosely based on the idea of an artist’s talk, performed by David Mollin and Salomé Voegelin as part of a recent exhibition entitled Nietzsche Cyclists and Mushrooms curated by Heidi Brunnschweiler at the Kunst Raum Riehen, Switzerland. It comprises of a text based on writers’ written anecdotes, taken from the internet, on how they write, Hindu numerology and the particular numerological time structure of the virtual environment of the computer game interjected by other concerns about words and texts.
The stage for the talk was provided by the physical space of one of the artists’ installations shown in the exhibition into whose soundtrack the talk was embedded, borrowing its pace and circularity.

Writer's Habits

Since 2008 Salomé Voegelin and David Mollin have developed a collaborative practice with words and sounds. Their work has a conceptual basis, establishing through texts, voices, sounds and images, conversations and reconfigurations of relationships and realities. Their artistic engagement focuses on invisible connections, transient behaviour and unseen rituals. It re-considers socio-political, architectural and aesthetic actualities through the possibilities of an ephemeral sound, whose invisible mobility invites a semantic inhabiting of words and works, and brings a participatory engagement to installative and performance based pieces.
