23.06.2008 8GB by Akira
8GB is an audiovisual set with a natural flow of Akira's activities both visual and musical, and his fixation with old computer hardware utilized in modern working environments. With the help of Bubblo on the visuals, 8GB aims towards creating currently listenable beats with old computer data, making an urban blend that can be enjoyed by most any audience interested in fresh new sounds while still retaining appeal for the bleep-obsessed nut.

20.01.2008 / Multi media performance In der Bar um die Ecke
Powerplant creates 'instant movies' from scenes played out in miniature. The 'live movie' that arises is projected directly on large screens so every detail of the 'acetylene torch' burnt models can be seen. The multi media performance "In der bar um die Ecke" (In the bar around the corner) portrays a highly mutated landscape in the year 2087 following World War VII. Only a handful of people survived the seventh world war which while only lasting 2.34 seconds chemically transformed the planet on such an immense scale it is impossible not to be impressed. This was not a war that simply destroyed the earth this was a war that smoothed and transformed the shapes of everything on it.
