LAKE [sandbox]
Live Act Komposition Errors

LAKE is a listening-oriented, live audiovisual format based on collective creation, presence, and shared authorship. Conceived as a temporary ecosystem, LAKE invites audiences into a space where music, sound, visuals, and bodies coexist in real time — and where the experience only fully unfolds if you are physically there.

At the core of LAKE is horizontal collaboration: audio and visual artists work as equals, improvising together within a shared framework. There is no hierarchy between sound and image, no separation between “performers” and “context.” Everything emerges live — electronics, voices, instruments, textures, rhythms, and visuals — shaped by deep and body listening.

LAKE embraces human-led creation: no AI, no automation-driven authorship. Instead, it proposes a model of shared responsibility, collective risk, and trust. Authorship is distributed, and the work exists as a moment rather than a product.

The project also reflects critically on platform dominance and media hegemony. While parts of LAKE can be accessed remotely via Gatekeeper Radio, the stream deliberately cannot replace the physical experience. You can listen — but you are missing the space. Presence matters.

LAKE [sandbox] marks the first edition of LAKE. It is conceived as an open environment for testing ideas and exploring collective listening through live electronic and audiovisual performance. Borrowing the term from computing, a sandbox describes a space where systems can be experimented with freely. In this edition, artists share the same space and develop the session together in real time, shaping sound, voice, electronics and image through attentive listening.
