THE PROJECTLEADERS:

Who hasn't heard of Felix Kubin - the Whirlwind Wizard of the Ivories, whose appearances on stages at a multitude of health spas rendered audiences almost speechless? Kubin’s last cd Matki Wandalki (2004), honorary mentioned at the famous Ars Electronica-festival in Linz, starts with this intriguing sentence. Kubin is a Hamburg based artist whose activities compromise sci-fi pop / noise / animation films / radio plays / experimental broadcasting / soundworks / opera and other live performances. As the messenger of exploding lungs, as he is seeing himself, he started his label Gagarin Records in 1998. Last year he tutored a tART-workshop called Patentamt Futurismus in which a lot of DAI-students participated.
