The Wrong Biennale
Embassy with Gregor Bohnensack

Get to the next level!

Gregor Bohnensack dissects the writers Poe and Kleist, laying bare their sentences like rib cages. Alexa assists him in German and English. The performance unfolds in tandem with the ebb and flow of different eras. The maelstrom of Poe's work collides with the warlike and poetic arts of Kleist. Kleist's sister Ulrike also makes an appearance. Bohnensack plays with roles, texts, and sounds. Atmospheres transcend words. In this text and sound performance, brass instruments blow and clatter. Electronic fragments whistle and hiss – each sound an attempt at translation. Translation becomes an art of survival: salvaging meaning, retaining one's voice, reclaiming spaces. On every level, it's about breath, rupture, and new beginnings.

Electronic improvisation with Claudius Lazzeroni and Eicke Riggers.

Rhythmic-gestural improvisation between vague notation, deliberate intuition, and misguided artificial intelligence. Fluctuating responses from performers and audience.

The Wrong Biennale
Embassy with the elektroFlux-Collective

The elektroflux collective is an open, informal group of musicians who meet regularly for the elektroFlux sessions. It's a forum for electronic music and sound art – a place to experiment, jam, and discuss music technology. Bring your electric/electronic instruments, test your programs and patches; amplification equipment is provided. The focus is on networking, knowledge sharing, and creating new sounds. Everyone is welcome – come by and join in!

Todays special: the session will be broadcast live on TheWrong..

Embassy with Anna Stern

Poems for Survivors

Performance artist and singer Anna Stern studied at the Münster Academy of Fine Arts and the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) and has since worked collaboratively and interdisciplinarily with musicians, actors, and visual artists. In the long-standing duo kolberg+stern, she collaborated with guitarist Michael Kolberg on, among other works, the performance concert 'Songs of Life and Death,' featuring compositions based on poems by the American poet Anne Sexton, which was released as a CD by Aisthesis Verlag. She sings in various improvisational contexts, exploring the tension between performative-sonic and meaning-bearing aspects of language.

Anna Stern's "Poems." sounds like a vision of the future: using the sampler Borderland, she layers her voice to create dense, holographic soundscapes. Performative presence and AI-enhanced electronic precision merge, transforming the voice into an instrument, into noise and rhythm. A cool, sensual hybrid – both physical and digital – that relentlessly blurs the boundaries between human and machine.

Embassy with Rolf Schorfheide

Sostenuto.

Rolf Schorfheide is a guitarist and sound artist living in Münster and Wuppertal. In addition to jazz, he is active in intuitive music, free improvised music, and electronic music. At the Wrong Biennale, with its theme of AI this year, he explores an idea for using iPad-based sounds as a basis for or complement to live performance. Inspired by the sustained sounds and sequence-like meandering grooves, the title of his program is Sostenuto.

EDEN 2.0 | Final signals of the new creation.

In this laboratory setting, plant biosignals merge with AI-generated sound structures. At the intersection of biotechnology and algorithmic composition: Real-time created sound textures derived from the bioelectrical activity of living plants blend with the nature imitating sounds of an AI, forming a new acoustic ecosystem.

An aesthetic encounter between organic vitality and machine intelligence—a dialogue between nature and code.

The Wrong Biennale
Embassy with Stefan Strasser

Returns.

A dialogue unfolds between sound, code, and body – a cycle of listening, reacting, and transforming. Musician Stefan Strasser plays a hybrid electric guitar whose sound is augmented in real time via the Data Knot system. Data Knot is a performative environment for machine learning and interactive sound control, in which Strasser employs various virtual instruments – all based on sound material he has recorded himself.

These instruments are controlled by his guitar playing during the performance and react autonomously to his playing and sounds. This creates an improvisational exchange between the musician and his algorithmic mirrors – a game with himself that constantly reinvents itself.

"Returns" is a living process between human and machine, between memory and resonance. A fluid system that listens, transforms, and responds.
