The Emde Gallery is pleased to open its 2026 exhibition programme with the group exhibition "Phantomspeisung" (engl. phantom power), presenting works by Lukas Gartiser, Paul Laakmann and Paul Schuseil.
The term "Phantomspeisung" originates from audio engineering and refers to a power supply for microphones that is transmitted via the microphone cable. It is this hidden energy supply that enables certain types of microphones – known as condenser microphones – to perform their function, allowing fleeting acoustic events such as speech or singing to be captured, transmitted, and made audible.
