They shout to the point of exhaustion. They detach themselves from originator and source. They come from the dead who sing a duet with the living. The human sounds like a machine, Barbie like Ken, the on-board computer like a gentle friend. Voices staged and imagined by artists not only make audible the strange in the familiar, the monstrous in the everyday; they also repeatedly pose the question: who is actually speaking? - The feature was created in connection with the exhibition His Master's Voice: On Voice and Language at Hartware MedienKunstVerein (HMKV) Dortmund.
Inke Arns, *1968 in Duisdorf/Bonn, curator and author, is artistic director of the Hartware MedienKunstVerein (HMKV) in Dortmund. She lives in Berlin and Dortmund.
Ingo Kottkamp, *1972 in Baden-Baden, radio author and director, features editor at Deutschlandradio Kultur.
On the occasion of the International Day of the Museum, we offer free guided tours in our exhibition HIS MASTER'S VOICE. Children can participate in a paper chase and experiment with their own voice in our HMKV recording studio! The guided tours and children's activities are offered in German only.
On Family Sunday at the Dortmunder U, the HMKV invites you to a special film screening: 19 children and young people will present their own short films in the RWE-Forum I Kino im U, which were created during the Easter holidays as part of the Shockheaded Peter workshop.
The only feature film by John Cage, One11 and 103 is based on the effects of light in an empty room. Directed by Henning Lohner, it was completed shortly before the composer’s death in 1992. Dir. Henning Lohner, Germany 1992, 94 min.
HUMAN BROWSER is a search engine in human form. Via a headset the performer receives search results in real time. S/he shares these results with the bystanding visitors by announcing them loudly. The speech flow is confusing but makes reference to the context time and again. An irritating, surprising and quite amusing encounter!
During a one-day workshop the participants try to evaluate how to deal creatively with the news. Workshop for teachers and educators. The workshop will be held in German only.
Record and modify your own voice in the HMKV Sound Studio! Children can join the event at any time during the opening hours and participate in a paper chase to get to know the exhibition in a playful way. At 2pm we offer a guided children's tour. This event is held in German only!

In this workshop we produce funny, crazy and musical short films in which characters from the book "Shockheaded Peter" awake into life. Workshop held in German only.
