| Renate Wieser (Germany) is a media artist and scholar in media theory based in  Hamburg and Köln. She takes part in the Ph.D. Fellowship Programme of  the German Research Foundation: Automatisms - emerging structures in  information technology, media, and culture, University of Paderborn.  Currently she is also working on the combination of installation and  radio play. Her publications include the book "Ungeplante Strukturen:  Tausch und Zirkulation." Herausgeber: Maik Bierwirth, Oliver Leistert  und Renate Wieser. 2010.     Meaning without words (in collaboration with Julian Rohrhuber and Alberto de Campo) Instead of listening to the phonetic structure of words, we listen to the layered silent grammatical structures of sentences. For this, we sonify linguistic data, which associates multiple structural interpretations with specific sentences from a comparative linguistic corpus of Old, Middle, and Early New High German, as well as recent newspaper material. We are grateful to Anke Lüdeling, Professor at Humboldt University for the kind collaboration. This project will be exhibited as an installation within an exhibition on conversational art and early computer art (featuring the work of the pioneers Kurd Alsleben and Antje Eske) at the ZKM in Karlsruhe from October 2010. The talk gives a brief insight into the work in progress.  Meaning without words(Renate Wieser  in collaboration with Julian Rohrhuber and Alberto de Campo)
