Institut fuer Feinmotorik (IFF) is an artists group working in different formats and media.
Although the main activity is accoustic-art / music.
IFF is located in Bad Säckingen, Berlin, Cologne and Karlsruhe (all Germany).
The group was founded 1997 for a club-event in Basel (Switzerland) at brisant kiosk/club.
IFF produces different outputs
(photography, video, music, drawing, computer-programming, printed matters etc.),
organizes artistic-/cultural events, does lectures and workshops and publishes artistic goods
such as music records, books etc.
IFF got some reputation for their acoustic work with a reductionist set-up called
octogrammoticum:
8 turntables, 4 DJ mixers + end-mixer, which is served by the group members.
Anything (except records) which somehow fits between turntables and pick-up cartridges
(household-rubberbands, paper-stickers, rubbergums, handicraft-tools + various tinker-trivias)
may be played.
Lately, IFF contributed to Art Exhibitions (e.g.
MUDAM),
took part in the music-theatre
ensemble fuer staedtebewohner,
produced an abstract radioplay for
RADIO ARTHUR,
they also published a book entitled "Feinmotorik Kompendium" in 2005,
and are about to release a new longplay record.
