20:00 Not Two Not One, Live performance, Daniel Meir

In this live site-specific sound installation at the KINDL brewery, Daniel Meir activates four of the original brewing tanks as resonating instruments in real time. Sounds recorded in a working brewery are fed into the tanks and transformed by their resonance, oscillating between long drones and rhythmic beats.

The work takes its name from the Zen concept "not two, not one" - the idea that things are neither fully separate nor fully the same. The sound that emerges is not the tank's and not the source recording's, it belongs to neither and to both. The room shapes the sound, and the sound shapes the room. In the same way, each visitor's position in the space creates a unique personal mix, so the listener is neither outside the work nor identical to it. Like a finger circling the rim of a wineglass, the installation exists only in the living encounter between sound, structure, and body.
