üNN
is the solo project of frank rückert.
he is a music & video producer and also performs live
as a VJ in clubs and at festivals.
osa
is a group of architects & urbanists developing
projects between art and architecture on the background of
social implications of urban space. often this means to
'invent' a new meaning of an existing, aged or obsolete
environment, i.e. trying to give the right answers to the
wrong questions. the tools osa are working with are adopted
(and than adapted) from other disciplines like music,
film/video, sculpting, painting, graphics, sciences etc.;
the used material is our social environment, built or not
built.
the group was founded while the members were studying
architecture to increase the range of their tools. the
network-structure of the group - today spread over europe:
frankfurt/darmstadt, berlin, vienna, and london - is
intended to involve different temporary
partners.

Elektrolux about this DVD :
Since being founded in 1995, Elektrolux, last but not least
thanks to its TV platforms
'Space
Night' and 'Flowmotion', has always been a downright visual
label.
One of the most important Flowmotion artists, Frank Rückert
aka üNN, centers the 'Strom' project by which Elektrolux
dares an innovative bridging with room designing New Media
even stronger than before.
In the course of a student project of the Technical
University, Darmstadt, the skilled computer scientist Frank
Rückert, inherent part of the international Techno Club
scene also because of his VJ work for Sven Väth, Pascal
F.E.O.S., DJ Hell, Monika Kruse and many others has chosen
eight tracks from his previously released albums 'Delay'
(1999), 'Relief' (2000) and 'Electronic Music' (Mikrolux,
2002) to be transformed into video clips by students of
architecture.
'Electricity' has been chosen as the corporate motive of
the OSA ('Office for Subversive Architecture') workshop not
just as an electronic metaphor, but as an allegory for
urban networks and moves referring to society and areas of
unspoiled nature as well.
"It makes a difference whether you also produce the video
for your own music, because you definitely know what the
tracks are about. But the final results have made a deep
impression on me as I experienced a great sensitivity with
all persons involved when it came to transform my music
visually in an emotional and rhythmic way." (Frank
Rückert).
This way, the video of 'If We Could Be Stars', shows
streets and places of Frankfurt illuminated in a
breathtaking stroboscope between day and night, while the
stampede of the 'Feedback' girl reminds you of the best
moments of 'Lola Runs' without the protagonist ever finding
her destination.
The videos represent a more than adequate transformation of
üNN's music which defines the interface of a modern
understanding of Elektro with experimental ambient
soundscapes like no other.
The DVD is completed with a live recording of üNN taken at
the 'Central Station', Darmstadt, in November 2003, putting
11 remixes of his tracks visually supported in a congenial
way directly to the dancefloor as well as a comprehensive
'Making of' featuring interviews with many persons
involved.
