NOTON is pleased to release Ray Collector – a limited edition vinyl featuring recordings sourced from tapes produced by Carsten Nicolai’ for his 2023 solo exhibition Strahlen/Raggi at Fondazione Modena Arti Visive.

In February 2022, Carsten Nicolai dispatched ten parcels from Berlin to various destinations. Each package contained a blank magnetic tape cassette, an ILFORD Delta 3200 ISO 1000 black-and-white film, and a KODAK ISO 800 color negative film. All parcels were addressed to the same recipient, Mr. Nemo, the unforgettable captain of the submarine Nautilus in Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea. The idea was for the recipients to return the parcels to the sender. Each package held magnetic tapes and photosensitive films that would be exposed to electromagnetic waves and radiation during their journey. Upon their return to the sender, the latent impressions were developed, digitized, and thus made both visible and audible.

Album Art Designed by Carsten Nicolai & Nibo

This year NOTON publishes a special tear-off calendar designed by carsten nicolai and his long-time collaborator and japanese designer nibo.

“In the previous years, The label published a traditional japanese tear-off calendar with an imprinted NOTON layout. Since much of the information was hard to read without knowledge of japanese language, We thought to develop an edition which includes japanese, chinese and western astrological information as well as astronomical and historical data.” – Carsten Nicolai

The 2024 NOTON calendar was printed at a traditional japanese printing house with years of experience. The calendar is approximately 16.5 cm high and 11 cm wide and will be available on the NOTON shop as a limited edition piece of 250 copies.
