AP KunstArt co-organized two events being part of Krakow Gallery
Week – KRAKERS. Opening of Apteka Janicki Gallery took place on 12th
May 2019, while audio-visual composition Event Horizon (for
electronics governed by brainwaves and video) was performed at HEVRE
on 14th May. Franciszek Araszkiewicz performed both pieces together
with Aleksander Janicki. Anna Petelenz supported visuals and
communication.
We are very thankful for you presence!
21.01.2019 opening of exhibition of drawings by Beata
Malinowska-Petelenz “Brasil” has take place at Dym Gallery in Krakow,
supported by AP KunstArt Fund. Graphic works of the artist are focused
on characteristic forms and identities hidden in the dynamics and
diversity of structures and spaces.
The exhibition will be open till 22.02.2019. We wold like to
congratulate the artist and thank everyone involved in success of this
special project!
Salon Goldschlag
We would like to thank all the listeners that visited our concert at
Salon Goldschlag. During the performance of Franciszek Araszkiewicz
(brainwaves) and Michael Fischer (saxophone) we have presented video
material based on paintings of Beata Malinowska-Petelenz. Viennese
poet Sina Klein has made a reading of her own works as part of the
program.

What are the patterns of the human mind? What could they sound like?
“Echoes of Mind” is an eight-channel sound installation controlled by the hidden rhythms of a human brain. Neural activity in the central nervous system of the composer has been recorded and transformed into sound phenomena. These little plugs inside the brain, called brainwaves, are scanned on eight frequency levels, each responsible for a particular mental state, and assigned to the eight channels of the sound installation.
Eight frequency levels of neural activity have been used in “Echoes of Mind”: alpha, beta, gamma, delta and theta, the first three splitting into their lower and higher registers. In biofeedback theory, alpha waves reflect a relaxed state and the REM phase of sleep; beta waves are associated with active thinking and concentration; gamma waves relate to conscious attention; theta waves increase in meditative states, while delta waves occur during deep sleep. The sound structures governed by each type of wave are assigned to the marked channel.
“Brainwave Scores”, a series of posters created together with visual artist Małgorzata Petelenz are based on the actual shapes of brainwaves used, as well as sonographs of the structures constituting the sound layer.
A neural ensemble beyond conscious and subconscious, beyond intellectual and emotional, beyond meditative and aware cognitive states…
