Fausto Mercier | Promise me delight [HU]
Premiere
Roland Nagy is a sound engineer, former multimedia arts student, and Hungarian producer from Pécs who started his Fausto Mercier project in 2016. He has appeared on Unlog, EXILES, Kaer‘Uiks, Pointless Geometry, and Genot Centre. His work in electronic music production, while resonating with hardcore digital culture and heavy, dynamic rhythms, is closely tied to his fascination with natural soundscapes and their fractal nature. In particular, the artist skillfully depicts a violent and tense world populated by minuscule yet grand sound variations, intertwined in a web of seemingly chaotic textures. The FAUSTO MERCIER project is considered one of the most brilliant outputs in the field of experimental laptop music, drawing direct inspiration from pioneering works in modern electroacoustic music.

11. GENIUS LOCI WEIMAR FESTIVAL CAME TO AN END LAST MONDAY MORNING
After three successful days and nights, the GENIUS LOCI WEIMAR facade projection festival
came to an end at midnight on Monday 2 September. This year's event centred on the
Buchenwald Memorial with the theme ‘It feels like 5 to 33’. Three areas of the site were
featured as part of the festival, including the Relief Steles that retell the history of the camp,
the pylons of the Street of Nations and the Buchenwald Bell Tower.
This year's edition was the largest and most extensive Genius Loci Festival: over 40 projectors,
80 loudspeakers, hundreds of lights, kilometres of power cables and four generators were
needed to cover the extensive memorial grounds. For the festival and the artists involved, it
was also a great honour to perform at a site of such national, international and historical
significance.
Over 20,000 visitors were able to reach the festival site by car or the specially organised bus
route and view the production. The organisers are delighted with the consistently positive
feedback from spectators and participating artists, especially as the character of the festival
differed significantly from previous editions in terms of subject matter, design and
emotionality. A first audiovisual impression of the event can be seen here in the festival trailer:
ownCloud (devicecontext.de).
This year's competition attracted over 100 entries from 22 different countries, making it one of
the strongest Genius Loci Weimar competitions to date. The creative studio mammasONica,
from Italy, with Ghostpoets illuminated the Stelenweg. The Area Composer, from Düsseldorf,
illuminated the Street of Nations with their work Empathy. The event concluded with the bell
tower staged by Marina Konther together with Martin Etienne from France with their
projection Silence.In addition to the artists, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all sponsors, the
various municipal institutions of the city of Weimar - especially the Stadtwirtschaft Weimar -
and everyone involved in the festival.
Genius Loci Weimar is organised by the festival organisation MXPerience gUG, this time in
cooperation with the Buchenwald Memorial, the State Chancellery of Thuringia, Kulturstadt
Weimar, Weimarer Sommer, ReBeam, Logando, Stadtwerke Weimar and Sparkasse
Mittelthüringen. The international festival for audiovisual projections GENIUS LOCI WEIMAR
was launched in 2012 as part of the Weimar Summer initiative. Over 50,000 visitors come to
Weimar every year to experience the festival weekend. Ideally located in the city of poets,
musicians and thinkers, the festival has become an important cultural event for Thuringia.
