Billy Roisz and Dieter Kovacic have been active in Vienna’s electronic, improvised, noise music and experimental film scene since the late 1990s. Billy Roisz’s work focuses on the links and gaps between visual and auditive perception, using various electronic instruments, electric bass guitar, cathode ray tube TVs, video projectors, synchronizers and sometimes computer to generate sound and image. Dieter Kovacic aka dieb13 is best known for his turntable music activities and as founder of the experimental music platform klingt.org. His film works include photo films (‘schnitzel’), music videos and documentations on music and art.
In previous years the two have artistically investigated the common grounds within classical film genres like western, road movie and horror movie. In their new work, they bring together thoughts and views about non-human intelligence, time warps and the impossibility of communication across space, time, and species.
