Gregor Ladenhauf (AT) is a sound artist and the multifaceted ear of ‘Depart’, a twin-headed art group focusing on the sound-image-text ménage à trois. Their work interweaves all media at hand into one fine Gordian impact. Peppered with contemporary magic it seeks to tame the incomprehensible by short-circuiting our cultural hypertext. They have gained some notoriety as a ruthless smuggler of audiovisual booty across the well guarded border between the poetic and the mundane.
