The Stage Is Our Temple!, hosted by Egret Cultural and Educational Foundation TW, will present a performance with the title AMORE, New Piano Performing Art. AMORE is an avant-garde production created to elevate the artistry of performing, conceptual, kinetic, digital, video, and abstract art.

Felix Senk (*2002), Emil Steixner (*2002), and Max-Jakob Beer (*2002) had the idea for a project with the title “re-wire”. They asked themselves: How can sustainability be combined with music? The solution was to build a MIDI controller from an Arduino and electronic scrap. The MIDI controller is a kind of sculpture and more of an instrument than a controller. With it, one can play 16 different perfectly compatible loops independently of each other.
Telematic art is called to technologically heal our loss of body, our loss of senses, our loss of meaning. Tuning into the Lost Interferences which were never heard, into our own lives, and into all the lost possibilities, the audience will join the performers into making sense of everything we lost. The project Lost interferences will be presented during the Ars Electronica Festival in the Garden Bucharest, hosted by Proiect 2, Rezidența BRD, Scena9, UNATC, IL Caragiale, CINETic Co-Financed by AFCN.
