DETOX MONEYLAUNDERING - experimental sounds
DETOX: MONEYLAUNDERING // 4bid // OCTOBER 9 th // doors 19:30 start 20:00
DETOX is the collaboration of composer and media artist Anton
X and musician and performance artist Maja vK.
In the expanded space of contemporary music, sound art,
performance and critical thinking, the artists* perform a
money laundering around the 11th of each month in changing
formats and collaborations – a socio-critical ritual that is
98% based on desperation and 2% on wit. It is a reflection on
one’s own privilege, on money as a medium of alienation, as a
medium of domination and injustice - and on art, that is also
entangled in this dynamic.
The project is embedded in the shared attempt to let life not
entirely be determined by the logic of anonymity and
quantifiability. This is not to be understood in the sense of
a romantic utopia, but as a daily recognition and cultivation
of hardly definable multifaceted relations between people*.

After starting out with very direct symbolic acts such as
cleaning coins with toothbrushes or putting them into washing
machines, DETOX developed into a more open improvisatory
approach. At the moment they experiment with a setup of
instruments built from a number of transducers, microphones
and everyday objects, used both as soundmakers and amplifyers.
