In this latest lighting project entry by Adam Burton, Social Media Manager, Zumtobel Lighting introduces a new lighting display that “dances” to music beats. Famed Korean artist Sung Wan Kim uses his installation "I will dress you, howl bowel owl" to play with the mediums of light and sound. In collaboration with the musician David Michael DiGregorio (aka dogr), Sung Wan Kim has composed an audio piece using the works of poets such as Rainer Maria Rilke as a source of inspiration. A key component of the project - the lighting - was realized in cooperation with Zumtobel.

The KUB Arena in the Austrian town of Bregenz is hosting the event, which looks to add a new dimension to the exploration of sound and light as powerful tools for theatre productions. The light art element allows Kim to experiment with Zumtobel lighting technology and thereby create different lighting techniques and situations for a variety of guest performers.

Ten of the most prominent New York musicians have already worked with the International Contemporary Ensemble to premiere new compositions from the legendary American composer John Zorn. The KUB Arena will now showcase new collaborative works from dogr and Sung Wan Kim on 4. July 2014.
