From October 3 until October 9 at Sound & Vision in Hilversum a newly commissioned RE:VIVE installation If you understand the beginning well, the end will not trouble you, composed by Michiel Sekan will be available for you to visit for free.

As part of Dutch Media Week 2022, RE:VIVE was invited to commission an installation that addresses the theme of “On/Off”. Most of us are constantly “on”; online, on-guard, on our way, on call etc. and whether that be actively or passively – the act of turning “off” is becoming more elusive. With regards to the Sound & Vision collection and RE:VIVE’s work of reusing audiovisual heritage, Sekan is our first foray into working with the physical object collection. Specifically, two Telefunken M15 tape machines, former industry standard workhorses that remain prized for those “in the know”. The installation, presented in collaboration with Willem Twee Studios in Den Bosch and supported by DMW, is a call for visitors to sit down and immerse one’s self in the evolving loops and a call for makers to consider working outside the digital world.
