Can someone please develop a 'background music in online videos'-blocker analogue to ad blockers please? All this automated nonsensical and annoying muzak that is added for no reason these days is unbearable and unnecessary.

Gerade einen wunderschönen Satz im Deutschlandfunk gehört, den ich einfach mit Euch teilen muss:

"Die einfachste Art und Weise Fremde loszuwerden, ist sie kennenzulernen..."

Great article by Alex Ross that presents an overview of lots of different views on Noise from books that were released in the last few years

Sometimes we embrace it, sometimes we hate it—and everything depends on who is making it.

Patrick Fey hat mich für den Diagonale Podcast interviewt https://diagonale.podbean.com/e/folge-5-rainer-kohlberger-im-gesprach/
Folge 5 - Rainer Kohlberger im Gespräch | Diagonale Podcast. Von Filmen sprechen (powered by GrazMobil-App)
In der fünften Episode des diesjährigen Diagonale-Podcasts "Von Filmen sprechen“ (powered by GrazMobil-App), der in Zusammenarbeit mit Jugend ohne Film entstand, spricht Patrick Fey mit dem Experimental-Filmemacher Rainer Kohlberger, dessen jüngster Film „The Electric Kiss“ im Januar 2024 in Rotterdam Weltpremiere feierte und auf der Diagonale nun auch erstmals in Österreich zu sehen war. In einem Artikel für die Cinema Scope aus dem Jahr 2019 sprach der 3D-Künstler Blake Williams hinsichtlich der durch Machine-Learning generierten Bilder Kohlbergers von „anti-images“, die uns von jeglicher Materialität und Räumlichkeit trennen würden. Und tatsächlich geht das Sehen eines Rainer-Kohlberger-Filmes allzu oft mit dem Hinterfragen der eigenen Wahrnehmung einher, beinah so, als würden die Bilder erst just in jenem Moment entstehen, da wir sie erblicken. Im Gespräch reflektiert der Wahlberliner Kohlberger darüber, wie sich seine Videokunst (sowohl im gestalterischen Ansatz als auch in ihrer Präsentation) über die Jahre zunehmend der Kinoleinwand angenähert hat, spricht über die Nostalgie des Rauschens, seine Faszination für Glitch-Ästhetik und gibt Einsichten in seine collagenhafte Arbeitsweise.   Mit Unterstützung der AK Steiermark, Abteilung für Jugend und Lehrausbildung.

Answering the Sun is part of this year’s @AAFilmFest. They talked to me about my film:

61st AAFF Interview with Rainer Kohlberger, Director of "Answering the Sun"
Rainer Kohlberger, director of "Answering the Sun," speaks about his film with Donald Harrison. "Answering the Sun" Rainer Kohlberger | Berlin, Germany | 2022 SUN 3/26 | 2:30pm | Michigan Theater In Person Only Rainer Kohlberger’s work speaks of seduction, an overstimulation and deception of the senses, monochrome-pumping color surfaces, powerful drones. A night-black sequence in front of a wall of sound is followed by a hallucinatory passage without sound, which finally turns into shimmering Op art geometry. Strong light signals create afterimages on the retina, while specific acoustic stimuli stimulate the ear to generate sounds on its own, and the entire body is affected with an implicit loss of control. And in all the dizzying flickering, throbbing, and pulsating, a sun ball appears, largely bathed in vibrant colors.

Sorry I’m not answering requests to links of my films these days. It looks like there might be a proper release coming up some day in the future though. Besides, they are meant to be watched in the cinema anyways. Thanks for your understanding.
