Chromatic Wednesdays is a monthly interdisciplinary event series based in Berlin, organized by visual artist and filmmaker Emre Birişmen and sound artist Melih Sarıgöl. The series brings together various artistic practices, including performance, sound, moving image, and panel discussions, in thematically structured programs at different venues across the city. 

Chromatic Wednesdays, which previously centered around the Apartment Project space in Neukölln, will transition to a mobile and decentralized structure for its upcoming fourth and fifth seasons. This shift aims to encourage stronger collaborations, emphasize site-specific thinking, and build new connections that reflect the social and cultural fabric of Berlin.

Instability

ROCKINGDESK & FINE TUNING

Performances by Simon Berz (Rockingdesk) and Georg Werner
When we are drowning in instability, creativity can be the saving anchor, as Simon Berz, the guest of this edition of Chromatic Wednesdays stated. In his project «Rockingdesk», he improvised over musical notations, making them vibrate and translating them into images that accompany the sound. By amplifying the material he finds in notations and developing flaws, he expressed impermanence in his performances.

In the performance of the second guest, Georg Werner, instability resulted from the unpredictability of radio programs that he uses in his experimental music. He played a self-built instrument, which controls three radios via step sequencer, recombining what can be heard on this medium. Following solo performances by Simon and Georg, they brought together their approaches to making instability audible in a collaborative performance.

Inspired by the sound of his pencils tapping on the desk lamp in his childhood, Simon Berz built himself a sound lab for his performances and D.I.Y. electronics out of a school desk and guitar amplifiers. During his master’s studies in Transdisciplinarity at the Zurich University of the Arts, his preoccupation with the notation of improvised music opened up ways for him to build bridges between visual art, dance, and film. The sound artist develops musical instruments, sound art installations, paintings, objects, and performances, often inviting audiences to participate in his performances to encourage encounters with one another. Berz conducts material and sound research, inventing new sounds and rhythms by exploring the resonance of objects and the human body.

Georg Werner studied Applied Cultural Studies at the University of Hildesheim (diploma), Experimental Media Design at the Berlin University of the Arts and Sound Art in a master class with Ulrich Eller at the Braunschweig University of Art. He frequently collaborates with international artists and collectives in the field of art and technology. In workshops, lectures, and seminars he shares his acquired knowledge and thus expands his multi-layered artistic approach. Influenced by objects and situations he changes, he invites his audience to explore their surroundings and sharpen their perception.
