Like its precursors Sonic Godiva (New York CIty) and Sonic Peekskill, SONIC BERLIN was a site-specific “blockbuster concert” that incorporated both live bands and recorded music inside the super bien! (greenhouse for contemporary art), negating the listeners' ability to distinguish which was which.

The audience also only heard the music and were not able to see the performers inside. Covered with a special one-way mirror glass, the musicians saw out at the viewers but not vice-versa, thus imparting a feeling of dissatisfaction and negation to the experience. The greenhouse acted as a public jam space for musicians, who were invited to come play a set as they pleased.
