Eternal Sounds at the German Mining Museum: Listen to the Tones of Depth
On Friday, August 7, 2026, the sound sculpture 'Eternal Sounds' by Moritz Fehr will transform the entrance hall of the German Mining Museum Bochum into a vibrating resonance space. Sounds of the so-called eternal tasks of post-mining will create an intense event experience that draws visitors directly into the event atmosphere.
What to Expect: Sound that Gets Under Your Skin
Fehr composes the noise of water pumps, the hum of ventilation systems, the whir of generators, and seismic data into a spatial sound installation. Sounds travel through the room over 21 speakers, swell and ebb – an immersive ambiance that noticeably charges the audience's mood.
Conceptual Art Meets Industrial Culture
As a site-specific work, the installation addresses the temporal dimensions of mining. Organization and event planning on-site ensure that the target audience is reached, from technology enthusiasts to culture lovers – including integration into the permanent exhibition and the demonstration mine.
Augmented Reality: The Virtual Sculpture
Additionally, an AR sculpture expands the experience in the outdoor area. With the museum app, a virtual layer can be activated on the lawn in front of the building – a modern feature of event management that promotes participation and deepens the exhibition experience.
Artist Portrait: Moritz Fehr
The Berlin-based artist and researcher Moritz Fehr combines objectivity and emotion, technology and nature. His works have been shown internationally; scholarships from DAAD and the Kunstfonds Foundation underline his authority in sound art and media art.
