Martin Backes, born in 1977 in Germany, is a Berlin-based artist, creative technologist, designer, hacker and composer. He studied Media Art & Design as well as Sound Studies at the University of Arts in Berlin. In his works, he often uses media technologies to reflect certain functionalities, effects, ideologies and human perception, playing with the ambiguity between the physical world and the digital realm, reflecting the blurred boundaries between analog and digital, reality and simulation, stability and disruption, figure and abstraction. Backes cross-border and experimental field of activity in the intermediate area of art, science, technology and culture ranges from sculptural and multimedia sound works to interventions in public spaces and installations, as well as radio plays and computer/video works. His work has been shown at numerous international museums and galleries.

Music Automats
'Music Automats' is an autonomous robotic sound installation. The piece is comprised of several robotic instruments, constructed from acoustic instruments, everyday objects, motors, electronic components, wooden and metal parts. LEDs on the instruments visualize the sound. The result is a fully automated futuristic sound world which is also visually unique due to the self-built instruments and robots. The work explores the co-evolution of humans and machines, a future which we already find ourselves in the midst of.
The installation raises questions such as, should technology be viewed as a new life form, sharing our ecosystem and coevolving with us? Is a symbiotic co-evolution of human and technology more likely than a loss of humanity?
Music Automats
Year of Creation: 2020
Size: 200 cm x 180 cm
Technique: wooden parts, music instruments, beakers, metal parts, laser-cut parts, motors, solenoids, LEDs, controllers, electronics, cables, software, computer

Kinetic Walkers
มุมมอง 654 ปีที่แล้ว
'Kinetic Walkers' is a robotic installation that consists of several robots, constructed from wooden tree branches, servo motors and other electronic components. The work deals with our notion of nature and the human urge for innovation, questioning the connection between what has born from nature and what has been made. Does our definition of technology transform if we look at it over very lon...

Early Prototype Custom Shader - "What do I know? I am just a machine?!"
มุมมอง 355 ปีที่แล้ว
Here is an early prototype for my work called ‘What do I know? I am just a machine?!’. I am basically testing our custom shader we have created for the work. Please find the more information here: www.martinbackes.com/what-do-i-know-i-am-just-a-machine/
Nature Changes Along with Us
มุมมอง 1025 ปีที่แล้ว
I am very excited to announce that my new work called „Nature Changes Along with Us“ is finally ready for the public. The work is basically a generative/algorithmic 3-channel computer/video installation and deals with the human impact on our planet and with our changing notion of nature. It´s the first work of a new series. About: Nature Changes Along with Us Year of Creation: 2019 Size: variab...
Blue Noise Box
มุมมอง 665 ปีที่แล้ว
I designed and built my very own noise synthesizer made out of simple electronics components (resistors, capacitors, transistors, LEDs, integrated circuit chips). By the use of such primitive analog computers in combination with feedback, sensors and other inputs, ‚Blue Noise Box‘ creates a very unique sound.

I am sitting in a machine;
มุมมอง 1767 ปีที่แล้ว
I am sitting in a machine; is an algorithmic work that begins with a recording of an artificial human voice reciting a text which is then run through an MP3 encoder over and over again. With each iteration of the loop, one may hear the artefacts of the encoding process reinforcing themselves and gradually distorting the artificial human voice by revealing its data format. The work is a hommage ...
What do machines sing of?
มุมมอง 8K9 ปีที่แล้ว
"What do machines sing of?" is a fully automated machine, which endlessly sings number-one ballads from the 1990s. As the computer program performs these emotionally loaded songs, it attempts to apply the appropriate human sentiments. This behavior of the device seems to reflect a desire, on the part of the machine, to become sophisticated enough to have its very own personality. What do machin...
