Urania 58 - by Hecq & MFO

MFO Urania 58 is an audio-visual performance devoted to futurism. It is inspired by "Urania Universum", a series of popular science books annually published in Eastern Germany. Especially the 50ies and 60ies editions convey a belief in the future that is the topic of this performance. It captures the spirit of the belief in progress. It also engages with the pseudo-religious component inherent in this belief. Salvation by science. It envisions yesterdays future through the eyes of a believer. The performance is presented on an dual-screen video setup and a stereo soundsystem. It furthermore comprises multiple stage elements: four wall charts, a mechanical planetary model, some slide projectors and several scientific gadgets from around the 60ies! These pieces form a stage design like a laboratory - but they are arranged like an altar. Music and sound design is created by Hecq. His works range from ambient to IDM, from orchestral to electronic. A fine mix of precise beats and emotive deepness, that perfectly catches the futurism. hecq.de Video and stage design is created by MFO. A group of visual designers, who animate photos and illustrations taken from the Urania books, combine those with original film material and fuse it with organic structures and religious suggestions. mfoptik.de https://vimeo.com/5483093
