Noton and The Vinyl Factory are pleased to announce the release of the new edition of Carsten Nicolai's »Infinity«, under his alias Noto.

This new limited edition box set celebrates Carsten Nicolai's beloved interactive installation, »bausatz-noto«, currently featured at »The Vinyl Factory: Reverb« exhibition at 180 Studios.

The exhibition features an expanded version of Nicolai's artwork »bausatz noto« (1998) – an interactive piece centered around four Technics SL-1210 turntables and a selection of colored vinyl records. Visitors are invited to select and play the records, each of which has been cut with 10 unique locked grooves on each side. As Nicolai explains, »the different colors indicate different sound material, from the very abstract to the graphic« that users can loop and layer to create infinite permutations and combinations.

Previously released as a sold-out signed edition with a hardback book, this 2024 box set edition brings the installation into your own space. Comprised of twelve 10inch colored vinyl records, each featuring 20 unique locked grooves (10 per side), the concept remains the same: Nicolai provides the tools to build your own soundscapes.

The records are sleeved in twelve custom-made archive folders, housed in a silk-covered handmade box with debossed artwork.
