Leaning back, listening to the tweets, hashtags, retweets... Tweetscapes make it possible. Anselm Venezian Nehls and Carl Schilde are sound artists from Berlin and call themselves Heavy Listenting. They managed to make sound out of all the current events going on Twitter in Germany. It's a sonification with an artistic aspiration. We have the pleasure to meet the duo in Berlin Neukölln and follow them to the legendary club called Berghain. This is the location where they presented their innovation Tweetscapes as a music installation during the art's birthday 2012 together with the quartet Automat.
