The DDD is a conceptual analytical system where the association of three words in D creates a tridimensional investigation space. As sound matter is a mechanic wave working in three dimensions, we assign it to a tridimensional physical space. Thereby, we want to construct a autonomous reflective space where sound projects itself.

What is Sound – Alpha blending

Luana Lojić (HR)

What is Sound: Alpha blending is an audio-visual performative search for available information on the smallest things and units ever recorded or seen based on internet stored data (ex. bits, nanobes, phonemes, photons, atoms, etc.). Its constant is made of endless improvised medial translations formed from free online available generative tools and starts with a question posed into a search engine, building informational layers of text, sound, pictures and moving images.

Over the last few years, the EMAP/EMARE network of media arts organizations have produced a multitude of works dealing with life-science and cybernetics that examine the fragile ecological equilibrium of life on Earth. A few of these artists find inspiration from scientific discoveries like archaea, a group of unicellular micro-organisms believed to be the oldest form of life on Earth. Other sources of inspiration include the impact of pharmaceuticals on life in the water and the sonic vision of bats. These artistic explorations envision future evolution in magical and often transgressive ways.

Beyond Human Perception

María Castellanos & Alberto Valverde (ES)

Die Arbeit ist eine Videoinstallation, die es dem Publikum ermöglicht, die Reaktionen von Menschen und Pflanzen auf einen gemeinsamen Stimulus zu visualisieren: Live-Musik. Die Installation ist das Ergebnis mehrerer Sitzungen, in denen die Gehirnaktivität von Menschen gemeinsam mit elektrischen Schwingungen in Pflanzen gemessen wurde, wobei ein von den Künstlern entwickelter Sensor verwendet wurde.

How to make an Ocean?

Kasia Molga (PL/UK)

Können menschliche Tränen das Leben im Meer erhalten? Kasia Molga wird ihren Weg von der Konzeption des Projekts erzählen, inspiriert durch den Umgang mit persönlicher Trauer; über die Auswirkungen von COVID-19 auf ihre ursprüngliche Idee; über die verrückte Errichtung eines provisorischen Nasslabors; über das Erlernen des Weinens auf Kommando; über ihre Bemühungen, winzige Meerestiere in ihren Tränen am Leben zu erhalten; und über ihre Versuche, einen KI-Moirologen zu entwickeln – einen weinenden Bot, der uns allen helfen soll, ein paar Tränen zu vergießen.

MEME MANIFESTO

Clusterduck (IT/DE/FR)

Based on the aesthetics of online conspiracy theorists, ancient grimoires, and cutting edge contemporary digital design, MEME MANIFESTO strives to be a manual for memetic production, a highly refined documentation of the contemporary memetic landscape and an art book about the hidden sides of the Internet. The project seeks to describe the personal experience of someone who is approaching meme culture, affirm the importance and power of memes, and give everyone the tools to harness this power.
