Sounds & Visions
A Performative Sound Tour with CID RIM and Oliver Hangl to Kick Off ESC
Monday, May 11, 2026, 5 to 8 pm
Free Admission
 

Under the title Sounds & Visions, the artists CID RIM and Oliver Hangl conceive a performative sound tour in front of and inside the mumok building that allows visitors to experience the museum as an auditory and architectural resonance chamber. 

The building’s basalt-lava facade serves as a lithophone and is activated with live sounds by the musician CID RIM. Following the thirty-minute act, visitors enter the building to encounter a sound and speech intervention by the performance artist Oliver Hangl. 

SOUND OF WALL: CID RIM
Live Sound Performance
Concert performance of mumok’s outer and inner facade. As a drummer and electronic musician, CID RIM expands the percussive possibilities of the facade through electronic sound modulation.

Elevator Song Contexts

Catchy Tunes
Acoustic Guerrilla Intervention in the Exhibitions
Following a precise action plan, activists mingle with visitors, humming, whistling, or singing melodies that lodge themselves as infinite loops in the minds of unsuspecting listeners.
