3hd Festival: The Labor of Sound in a World of Debt

  • Music
  • Performance
240min

The four-day festival presents new and hybrid projects that are usually confined to the virtual world. Artists, academics, designers, journalists, and curators examine what the labor of sound is in the modern digital world today.

The evening at HAU Hebbel am Ufer travels through multimedia infused music performances. In the construction of something that is all at once a physical tribute, a manifestation of multimedia dualism,  and a consuming environment, the evening provides a springboard for the exploration of the blurred lines between contemporary art and music practices. This relationship raises challenging and specific  inquiries  regarding the musical object in the  21st  century. There will be a unique stage design by the art collective Aurora  Sander supplying an extension to the themes of new consumerism and capitalism. As we re-evaluate the importance of live performances, the evening provides a survey of contemporary music in light of recent developments in the way music makers and artists deploy their multimedia. Participating artists include ADR and Colin Self, Dafna Maimon, Fawkes, Lawrence Lek, Nile Koetting, Oliver Coates, and Vipra.

Alongside the events at HAU Hebbel am Ufer, OHM, Südblock, and Vierte Welt, 3hd Festival would like  to offer its users an extensive online experience consisting of essays, interviews, websites and exclusive tracks. The goal is to reflect on innovative sounds, analyze international developments in contemporary music culture, and give artists a space to showcase their work. Therefore we will provide a program in order to include every user, IRL and URL. The concept of a label ­ magazine ­ festival; all in one. Thus the traditional festival themes and Internet music aesthetics transform into a festival 2.0.

Latest information for arrival

There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:

If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.

Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:

When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
