Text image sound is an experimental evening following the tradition of Sound Nights at panke.gallery. The title points to the three elements the program brings into relation, focusing on how they influence and reshape each other in real time.

The event is structured as two live performances by Berlin-based sound and performance artists Alma Alloro, Alexandra Cardenas presented alongside netart pieces by international artists Amanda E. Metzger, Julianne Aguilar.

The program explores how text, images, and data streams are translated into sound -- and how sound, in turn, generates structure, image, and language. Through multimodal practices such as live coding, net art, and browser-based algorithmic compositions, the program examines computational processes as compositional frameworks. Text operates simultaneously as notation, instrument, and performance environment, structuring temporal development and interaction. In net art, (hyper)text as code is used to create deeply personal works. These pieces thrive on the open—and now largely forgotten—web, where the website itself serves as the artistic medium. Reimagined for the gallery setting, these works transition from their original, intimate viewing contexts into a shared physical space. Here, the website is transformed into an interactive screen, inviting the audience to navigate the digital landscape in a collective environment.

Rather than treating media translation as metaphor, the event approaches it as a material procedure: text is treated not only as language but also as code, dataset, instruction set, and symbolic input subject to algorithmic transformation. These artistic practices are embedded within computational and networked infrastructures, highlighting the interplay between technical protocols, ongoing processes, and individual subjectivity.

panke.gallery

panke.gallery seeks to open up a local and international dialogue between established and emerging artists with a focus on netart and related web-phenomena. The presented works derive from the connection between digital or net-based art and club culture, reflecting in particular the recent history of Berlin. Lectures, performances and screenings as well as an edition complete the exhibition programme. The panke.gallery is an independent, non-commercial project space supported by the Panke Club and the association panke.gallery – Verein für künstlerisch-kulturelle Bildung e.V It is permanently located in a 60-square-meter space within the Panke Club, an event venue in Berlin-Wedding.
