[藝術家介紹]
“在Nicolai的作品中,音樂和視覺藝術都不是對方的副産品,而是一種相互依託、由此及彼的關係。” —— Rob Young,現代畫家,2006
柏林視覺/電子藝術家Carsten Nicolai以noto和alva noto為藝名,進行表演併發行唱片。Nicolai的現場演出具有超強的聽覺、視覺震撼力,結合了Minimal電子聲音與實時視覺藝術裝置,被稱為“最美妙的金屬機器音樂” 。Nicolai作品的迷人之處就在於它們的優雅與簡單,和對技術主義的完美呈現。
Carsten Nicolai在世界上最富盛名的音樂廳、博物館和俱樂部做現場表演,並多次參加國內外美術館、博物館及公共收藏的個展或群展。他的音樂與藝術作品為他帶來了許多極具影響力的藝術或電子音樂的獎項與獎金, 如羅馬Villa Massimo獎(2007)、蘇黎世獎(2007)、洛杉磯Villa Aurora獎(2007)、林茨電子藝術大獎金尼卡獎(2001/2002)、德累斯頓F6-Phillip Morris視覺藝術獎。他在與池田亮司、Mika Vainio、阪本龍一等音樂人的合作中,以及與Olaf Bender、Frank Bretschneider建立的先鋒組合Singal的實踐中,進一步探索了聲音的身體性。作為一位著名的視覺藝術家,Carsten還創作繪畫,物件及裝置。
Carsten Nicolai于1965年出生於原東德的卡爾馬克思市,現工作生活于柏林。1984他完成了園藝學課程,成為了一名園藝師。1985至1990年,他在德累斯頓學習環境設計。1992年在開姆尼茨創立VOXXX文化傳播公司。1994年,他創立了noton.archiv für ton und nichtton,並在1999年與raster music合併,成為了最有地位的廠牌——raster-noton。
