For four days, the Akademie der Künste on Hanseatenweg will be a creative lab for musical experimentation, staging concerts, artist talks, and workshops. With its 28 debuts and premieres, and more than 100 artists from 27 countries, the 2nd edition of KONTAKTE is the hub for electroacoustic music and sound art in Berlin.

The festival presents the premiere of soundproject gleAM (2017) by sound artist Gerriet K. Sharma. You might experience acoustical sculptures, produced with a special sound technology and inspired by accelerator physics of BESSY II and BESSY VSR. 

The premiere is followed by a discussion in the presence of the artist, Geriet K. Sharma, and two physicists, Paul Goslawski und Godehard Wüstefeld. 

Premiere of project gleAM: 17:30 Saturday, 30. September 2017

    HZB receives funding to make innovations usable more quickly
    The Helmholtz Association has selected three new innovation platforms that will now be funded. HZB is involved in two of them: The Innovation Platform on Accelerator Technologies HI-ACTS is intended to open up modern accelerators for a wide range of applications, while the Innovation Platform Solar TAP is intended to bring new ideas from the laboratories of photovoltaics research more quickly into an application. In total, HZB will receive 4.2 million euros in grants from the Pact for Research and Innovation over the next three years.
