Robert Henke

Robert Henke comes to Hamburg with his award-winning production »CBM 8032 AV«. Behind the cryptic title is one of the first home computers from Commodore, who revolutionised the world 40 years ago. With a whole series of these bedrocks, Henke devises an audio-visual concert experience, which, according to the artist, circles around the »ambivalence between contemporary aesthetics and the use of outdated, limited technology«. Since the 1990s, Henke has been firmly rooted on the electronic music scene with his project Monolake and has, amongst other things, co-developed the ground-breaking music software Ableton. For several years, the passionate musician, composer and artist has also been interested in visual art and combines his sound experiments with laser and LED shows. And he does so successfully: Henke has already performed internationally at the Tate Museum in London, MoMa PS1 in New York and the Pompidou Centre in Paris.
