Abstract

The work of German artist Carsten Nicolai (born 1965) encompasses electronic sound/music performance and mixed media installation. His practice integrates elements of computer manipulated audio, video, and sculpture, frequently drawing influence from the physics of phenomena introduced into his work via oscillators, test equipment, reactive objects and media. His musical work, released under the pseudonym 'alva noto', or simply 'noto', has been widely published by the raster-noton label. This article provides an overview of Nicolai’s work as 'alva noto' and locates it within the history of intelligent dance music, art music and post-digital music cultures.
