[raumzeitmaschine] is an audio-visual concert by khmfn
for laptop-computer and video-projection (composed in 2008);

khmfn are Karl-Heinz Mauermann & Frank Niehusmann

[raumzeitmaschine] – (engl. "space-time-engine"): two performers ("khmfn") with live-video and live-music on laptops and toy-electronics; two cameras, two video projections on two screens; some few words (english or german available, vocoder-voices) about strange details from the relationship between man, machine, society and future; looks like two space-engineers at work (checking the parameters of their time-and-space-machine), sounds like a futuristic engine-room. It's definitely serious – but it's sort of weird, too: because the machine (artificial intelligence!) likes to fool the engineers (and the audience) with jokes about time and space.
