Interview NUMIX 2025 – Portrait Series #3

For this third portrait of NUMIX Lab 2025, we met @thomasmeckelll , artistic director of @sonavirtualreality , an Audio-VR collective creating immersive experiences.

📍 An inspiring discovery on VR in total darkness, spatial audio, and the creative potential of working in close collaboration with blind and partially sighted communities.

💬 “There is something powerful about smaller, experiences. When one sense – especially vision – is not filled with images, the brain begins to fill the space in a way that even the most advanced 3D rendering cannot achieve.”

🙏 Our sincere thanks to Europe Creative Media, Correspondances Digitales (@antoine.roland ) and @xnquebec

Pour ce troisième portrait du NUMIX Lab 2025, rencontre avec Thomas Meckel, directeur artistique de SONA, un collectif Audio-VR qui conçoit des expériences immersives.

📍 Une découverte inspirante de la VR dans l’obscurité totale, de l’audio spatial, et du potentiel créatif d’un travail mené en collaboration avec des personnes aveugles et malvoyantes.

💬 “Il y a quelque chose de très puissant dans les très petites expériences. Quand un sens – en particulier la vision – n’est pas rempli d’images, le cerveau commence à combler l’espace d’une manière qu’aucun rendu 3D ne peut reproduire.”

🙏 Nos sincères remerciements à Europe Creative Media, Correspondances Digitales (@antoine.roland ) et @xnquebec

Glashaus 002: Huyghend “Fairytale Light”

Tape Release and Concert: February 8th, 5pm @goldundbeton_

Huyghend are driving on both sides of the line between meticulous pop production and free improvisation, machine-learning-based voice modelling and tape delay. On their second release, Thomas Meckel and Simon Waskow have assembled six tracks, each a different landscape of open secrets. Like the camera freezes seconds that rush by outside a car window, mics and hard drives organize musical bursts. Heat burns through plastic. Night and city are interlocking fingers.
The tape cases show 75 individual snapshots captured by Saioa Fischer Abaigar on the road in Colombia.

Music by Simon Waskow & Thomas Meckel

Saxophone by Inga Rothammel @ingarothammel

SA 25.10 / 20h / Eintritt auf Spende 8-10€
Live: BLANCO TETA & HUYGHEND
--
BLANCO TETA sind eine unerbittliche verzerrte Geräuschkulisse, kantige Performances, ein transfeministisches Konzept mit einem avantgardistischen Ansatz. Mehr als eine Band, ist Blanco Teta ein performatives Angebot das einen Dialog mit dem Publikum herstellt. Die Band entstand im Kontext experimenteller Kollektive aus der Queer-Latinx-Szene und aus dem Bedürfnis heraus, einen einzigartigen Sound mit einer atypischen Formation zu finden. Blanco Teta besteht aus Carola Zelaschi am Schlagzeug, Violeta García am Cello, Carlos E. Quebrada am E-Bass, und Josefina Barreix am Gesang. Im September und Oktober werden sie mit ihrem neuen Album durch Europa touren und machen dabei auch Halt in Kalk <3
+
HUYGHEND ist ein auf bis zu 4 Musiker*innen erweiterbares Pop-/Synth/Electronic-Projekt von Simon Waskow und Thomas Meckel. Beide Musiker sind sowohl in Köln, als auch für internationale Projekte im Einsatz. Zuletzt zeigte Simon Waskow für den Soundtrack des mit Hunter Schafer Star-besetzten Films Cuckoo, oder für Gossing/Sieckmanns SIRENS CALL sein Können, während Thomas Meckel mit dem Projekt SONA Musik für Blinde erfahrbar macht. Nach 6-jähriger Pause treten HUYGHEND seit 2024 wieder live auf.

Adriani Botez and I are speaking at @gamescom congress about the future of acoustic VR.

With SONA, we explore VR game design inspired by the everyday navigational skills of blind people. Using headphones, a microphone, motion tracking, and sensory shoes, players embark on adventures built entirely from interactive 3D sound—navigating 80 square meters of VR-tracked space in complete darkness. They hear their footsteps on virtual terrain, use voice commands to control the game, and orient themselves through virtual echolocation. At gamescom congress, Adriani Botez and Thomas Meckel share insights from co-creating stories, game mechanics, and a full adventure game with 19 visually impaired game designers.

This Thursday, 17:30 at Stage 5

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
