Another great work on show this week in Berlin is Coincidence Engines, a series of work treats the seemingly mundane event of a clock’s tick as a building block for the construction of rich and complex acoustic structures. The work pays homage to the Poème Symphonique of 20th-century Hungarian composer György Ligeti, who used metronomes not for their intended utilitarian purpose of keeping musical time, but as musical instruments in their own right.

Coincidence Engines, which has been nominated for the 2010 Transmediale Prize, is the work of The User – Montréal-based architect and installation artist Thomas McIntosh, and composer and sound artist Emmanuel Madan.
