This time we got Goetz Kleinhaus of Dekonstrukiv to answer the 5 questions of told:by

Q: WHERE DOES YOUR ARTIST'S NAME COME FROM?

A: it bascially describes of my take on all things cultural or political, a kind of tongue-in-cheek quasi-ironically dystopian parody of an order/chaos, control/creativity, machine/human dichotomy. i quote wikipedia on "deconstructivism":

"It is characterized by ideas of fragmentation, an interest in manipulating ideas of a structure's surface or skin, non-rectilinear shapes which serve to distort and dislocate some of the elements [...], such as structure and envelope. The finished visual appearance[s] [...] that exhibit the many deconstructivist styles is characterized by a stimulating unpredictability and a controlled chaos.""

i've been using the DEKONSTRUKTIV.org moniker for all my creative output for quite a couple of years now, basically since the early 2ks when i first startet doing projections for bands and other stage acts.

Q: WHAT DISCRIBES YOUR VJING STYLE THE BEST?

A: besides the "deconstructivist" label i'd go with "glitchy minimal pseudogenerative high contrast monochromatic lofi flickering"

Q: LOCATION/ACT YOU EVER WANT TO DO VISUALS FOR AND WHY?

A: I'd like to do visuals for a throbbing gristle gig or tour. TG is one of the bands that really informed my take on contemporary music. plus i think my style would go pretty well with it.

Q: YOUR PERSONAL FAMOUS LAST WORDS?

A: "nothing ever changes"

Q: WHO SHOULD BE THE NEXT VJ FOR TOLD:BY INTERVIEW SESSION?

A: I'd suggest my pal DETRONIK from Detroit.
