The installation Institutional Critique for Kindergarten reflects on children’s education, the cultural history of whistles as well as the relation between body and instrument. It consists of two upscaled whistles made of pine and oak and a multi-channel sound installation comprising a poly-rhythmic composition for whistles, made with a computer controlled whistle instrument, designed by the artist. The computer-controlled instrument makes very advanced polyrhythms possible, polyrhythms so complex that they are impossible or very difficult to play for humans, but simple to create on a computer, thus mixing digital with analog or creating techno music for whistles.
