Try Descript here: https://get.descript.com/s8kjemvu79fz In episode 23 of The Installation Art Podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant duo behind 404.zero, Kristina and Alex. Renowned for their groundbreaking work at the intersection of visuals, sound, and technology, 404.zero crafts mesmerizing large-scale installations and modular soundscapes that explore big philosophical questions around death, the unknown, and the cosmos. From self-taught programming to custom-built tools and hardware, 404.zero push the boundaries of what’s possible in audio-visual art. In our conversation, they share their journey, creative process, and insights into the challenges and joys of working on ambitious international projects. We also discuss: • Their successful venture into modular music production. • How the self-taught duo's use of modular synthesizers has redefined their approach to art-making. • From remote installations to visa issues, Kristina and Alex share some of the logistical hurdles they have been facing. • Their belief that installations should invite profound personal reflection and interaction. 00:00 Introduction and Quick Questions 01:24 Early Influences and Career Beginnings 06:57 Meeting and Collaborating 09:01 First Major Projects 20:41 Innovative Installations and Techniques 31:46 Installation in Unique Venues 33:05 Creating Site-Specific Soundscapes 34:11 Challenges and Outsourcing 34:44 Audience Interaction and Impact 48:00 Visa Issues and Future Aspirations 404.zero’s work has been showcased at major festivals like Dark Mofo, MUTEK, GAMMA and more.
