Olsen<p>Rīdeō, ergo sum – I laugh, therefore I am (Preungesheim Edition)<br>Memory game with custom-built sound modules | various electronics, recordings of residents’ laughter | 100 x 100 cm</p><p>Created during his residency in the Fliegendes Künstler:innenzimmer (FlieKü) of the Crespo Foundation, Olsen’s work explores a simple yet profound question: What does a neighbourhood sound like if you only hear its laughter?</p><p>Armed with a microphone and ice cream vouchers, Olsen ventured through the parks, streets, courtyards, and local institutions of Preungesheim. Along the way, he collected the laughter of children, couples on park benches, a laughter yoga group, and even a former BMX champion from the 1980s.</p><p>The result is an interactive memory game: each module flip triggers a unique laughter sound bringing the community to life in playful, unexpected ways.</p><p>Special thanks to the Crespo Foundation, the FlieKü team, and everyone who laughed, contributed, or simply visited the exhibition.</p><p>More Infos: <a href="https://www.olsen.studio/rideo-ergo-sum/?lang=en" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">olsen.studio/rideo-ergo-sum/?l</span><span class="invisible">ang=en</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/soundart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>soundart</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/interactiveart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interactiveart</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/communityvoices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>communityvoices</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/preungesheim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>preungesheim</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/memorygame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>memorygame</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/pelmanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pelmanism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/concentration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concentration</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/fliek%C3%BC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fliekü</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/fliegendesk%C3%BCnstlerinnenzimmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fliegendeskünstlerinnenzimmer</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/crespofoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>crespofoundation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/artandtechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>artandtechnology</span></a></p>
