Evaporating Suns
Kulturstiftung Basel H. Geiger | KBH.G

In the exhibition "Evaporating Suns", artists dealt with contemporary myths from the Arabian Gulf region, such as the Asma Belhamar installation. For more than six months, timelaps video recordings were recorded from the sky above the Kulturstiftung building. These videos can be seen in two concrete hemispheres facing the sky. Tweaklab organized and supervised the timelapse recordings, installed weatherproof camera equipment and managed the recordings, further color-corrected the video and produced the concrete hemispheres. This work also includes the floor-mounted loudspeakers with specially composed sound.
Modified slot machines are used in the installation of Mays Albaik. Three slot machines have been technically redesigned by Tweaklab, so it is not always possible to play. A synchronized LED display shows the time period in which to play or not to play.
Tweaklab has also configured the audio guide and installed additional media stations.
