From 2005 to 2020, sound sculptor and media artist Timo Kahlen (born 1966, based in Berlin) published 21 works of net art: interactive,
 thrillingly ‘tangible’ film and sound projections on the world wide web. All of these 21 works have vanished, have become muted and blind,
 invisible and inaudible with the end of browser support for Flash on January 1, 2021.

They have now been revived: recoded and made visible, audible and tangible once again — with some glitches and drop-outs, and a bit 
of sonic tumult and difference to the originals… Refurbished 'media archaeological' objects of interactive media art — if you will — restored for your benefit.

All 21 restored film and sound projections are generated by your individual interaction with the works in real time: reacting to the position,
 the direction and/or speed of your mouse cursor — hovering above, clicking at or pausing on the touch-sensitive,
 tangible visual surface— as you explore and trigger invisible, complex and multiple layers of sound,
 noise and vibration embedded in the objects, and become part of the work.

Please, turn on your speakers or headphones.
