Resonating Hope: Audible Manifestations / Artists’ meeting @ ABPU

Seit 2016 veranstaltet die Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität im Rahmen des Ars Electronica Festivals den Sonic Saturday. Dieses Jahr organisieren wir ein Künstler*innentreffen während des Festivals, um einen informellen und praxisorientierten Austausch zwischen Künstler*innen zu ermöglichen, die an unterschiedlichen Projekten arbeiten.

Thema des Symposiums

Im Einklang mit dem Festivalthema „HOPE – who will turn the tide“ liegt der digitale Ars Electronica-Musikfokus der Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität auf der Reise in die Welt der klanglichen Exploration und Inspiration. Während Musik eher als Vermittler von Emotionen denn als Träger von Wahrheit gesehen werden kann, scheint ihre Fähigkeit, Hoffnung und Widerstandskraft zu wecken, grenzenlos.

Die unzähligen Klangbilder eröffnen einen Spielraum voller Möglichkeiten und Transformationen. Während wir das komplexe Zusammenspiel von Klang und Emotion erforschen, reflektieren wir über die tiefgreifenden Auswirkungen hörbarer Manifestationen auf das kollektive Bewusstsein und Empfinden, wo Musik als Katalysator für Handlungen wirken kann.

Resonating Hope: Audible Manifestations untersucht, wie Musik in Gruppen auf Resonanz trifft, wie sie Grund zur Hoffnung gibt und worauf diese Hoffnung beruhen könnte. Durch die dynamischen Klangtexturen der elektroakustischen Kunst navigieren wir die Feinheiten menschlicher Emotionen und Sehnsüchte.
