關於表演 About The Performance/
UnStumm跨媒體即興計畫於德國科隆發起，Nicola Hein與Claudia Schmitz近年帶著此計
畫在各國展演，讓來自德國及不同地方的音樂人及視像藝術家合作共演。Stunmm，在德文
指的是「啞、沉默、缄默」，Unstumm，則表示打破沉默，著重以跨領域、跨文化的方式
進行發聲，探索創意和思想的激盪碰撞，不同藝術領域之間的對話性。在此計劃中的影像
和聲音，都將會是即刻發生的，雖然是從排練中熟悉彼此，設定下概念與結構，最終仍保
有現場性，開放即興的空間，而非一成不變。

Claudia Schmitz and Nicola L. Hein are an interdisciplinary duo that is
mostly active with their project UnStumm (https://unstumm.com/), involving
several other musicians and video artists.
In their duo programme, they keep on developing a common language with
live-video, paper sculptures and prepared electric guitar. The extension of
the traditional vocabulary of their instruments and media forms a strong
basis which they use to create a conversation of images and sounds in which
silence plays an important role and a defined quality of sound.
Together they toured Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Argentina and Columbia and are now bringing their project UnStumm to Taiwan.

關於表演者 About The Performers/
● Claudia Schmitz (DE)
http://www.cces-claudiaschmitz.de/slideshowNYC/index.html
媒體藝術家，出生於德國曼次。畢業於科隆高等藝術學院，學習藝術史、影像與媒體藝術
、數學演算等。她擅長使用流動且充氣式的雕塑品、
多維度構圖，創造多層次的想像空間，探索空間中的新形式，將阻礙的舞台，延伸出更多
可能的使用空間、發展內在與外在的影像語言。Claudia Schmitz的許多作品都細膩地處
理與探討「參與」的議題。身為一位活躍的藝術家與教育者，自2005年以VJ COCO HÖHN
(Live-Visual Jockey)之名出道，陸續獲得許多獎項。其作品近年於紐約、布達佩斯、香
港、新加坡等地展出。2017年獲得韓國高陽市MMCA藝術駐村。
她的研究領域是：邊界和障礙 - 流動過程，虛擬和現實空間中的身體話語和身份，重新
與交互性，中介性（基於時間的媒體與繪畫和繪畫的現象學相結合），探索社會 - 城鄉
，共感覺等。「她對科技的現代性並不感興趣，而是對創造新想像維度的能力感興趣。」
My work starts where the media intersect. I am not interested in the
modernity of technology as such but in its capacities for creating new
imaginary dimensions.
Claudia Schmitz uses pneumatic sculpture, multidimensional drawing, moving
image and food to explore new forms of sound, space and experience. She
explores boundaries: Limits of perception, real and imagined barriers, liquid
processes, body discourses.
After several semesters of film studies, art history and mathematics in Mainz
and Cologne, Claudia Schmitz studied at the KHM Cologne: diploma in media art.
She is internationally active artist and has received many awards - including
the scholarship for Korea (2017) from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate in
cooperation with the MMCA National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art
Seoul and the Künstlerhaus Schloss Balmoral, Kunst Kommunikation DA
Kunsthaus Kloster Gravenhorst (2017), the Futropolis Prize for the City of
the Future (2014), Stiftung Künstlerdorf Schöppingen (2012) und (2014),
AREnschede Artist in Residence, NL (2013) and received the Zontaprize Mainz
2018.
In 2019 she will be in South Korea again for 3 months, dedicating her
research to the Inner Korean border and the production of Hanji: Residency
Gyodong Museum of Art, Jeonju. She composed film music and has been working
as VJ (Live-Visual Jockey) under the name COCO HÖHN since 2005, which
influences her engagement with video and space.
