Sound Art
Online Exhibition NEW CONNECTIONS
HKU University Of The Arts Utrecht (NL)
The opening night will feature several live performances all related to the theme “new connections”. This for example by revisiting and passing on music traditions through electronic means, new tactile electronic instruments and an AV show performed by live coding artists.
CINETic Residencies
Kıvanç Tatar (CA/TR), João Tragtenberg (BR), Saint Machine (RO), Leonard Nicola Hein & Claudia Schmitz (US/DE)
Due to COVID travel restrictions, the program for residencies that was supposed to take place at CINETic, has moved to an online collaborative program. Four artists around the world collaborated with CINETic researchers and artists. The talk with the online residents will focus on the experience of developing work for online interactions in a long-distance collaborative process.
Distant Art
National University for Theatre and Film IL Caragiale Bucharest (RO)
Distant Art is an open-air exhibition of interactive installations and online works developed by digital artists and students during and after the lockdown experience. Art practice struggled to find its own path in the times of limited direct contact. Telematic presence became a must for most forms of expression, creating A Distant Art.
Workshop: Solidarity Through Sound and Time
Ivana Dama and Clinton Van Arnam
In this workshop, participants would have the unique chance to reconsider their ideas of what constitutes sound and music compositions. Throughout the day we are exposed to countless amounts of sounds and noises, but it is only valuable if we can isolate these specific sounds and separate their relationship from emory to their pure tonal structure.
Performance and Workshop: Calming the Sea - Sketch 2b
Christoph Killian, UCLA ArtSci Center Artist in Residence
We will play with multichannel near-simultaneity, exploiting transmission latencies and temporal offsets, experiencing destructive and constructive interferences, – overlapping, amplification and extinction of waves in a global disconcert.
This is Sónar+D
Sónar+D – Sónar Festival's creative technologies conference – is an international congress exploring how creative minds are changing our present and imagining new futures, in collaboration with researchers, innovators and business leaders from all sectors and industries.
Workshop: Music and Quantum Mechanics
Dr. James Gimzewski
We explore the relationship between music specifically harmonic sound resonances and quantum mechanics. The Schrodinger equations which are used to describe zero point energy and energy quantization are similar to the solutions for a guitar string in one dimension called the particle in a box. In two dimensions equivalent to drum modes. The electrons in an atom are equivalent to three dimensional solutions. I also introduce quantum tunneling as leaky strings and provide examples in nanotechnology.
Workshop: Field Recording: Listening to Electromagnetic Radiation
John Brumley, artist, member of ArtSci Collective
We will build a small loop antenna and listen to artificial and natural sources of electromagnetic radiation. John will briefly cover aspects of Natural and Artificial EM radiation, mention artists that have explored electromagnetism in their practice, and then build rudimentary loop antennas to record and explore our EM environments.
Garage Digital: Worlds beyond Worlds
Garage Museum of Contemporary Art / Nikita Nechaev, Moscow (RU)
Works and practices of several artists and collectives, that participate in Garage Digital program, reflect on the different types of networks, infrastructures, ecologies and algorithms, and pose questions of the possible tactics and strategies to reassemble these systems with new types of communities, modes of rationality and production in mind —cunning, poetic, speculative and emergent.
Evening in IAL hubs space
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
Live performance / DJ set - The monotony of daily Zoom calls and Skype meetings is disrupted by using the video streams of participants to create colourful, live coded visuals which will be mixed and synced with live DJ sets from a selection of current Bartlett students and staff bringing a London soundscape to festival visitors. Lean back (or dance) and join us with a drink or two!
The Garden of Forking Paths
Online Exhibition In the time of a global pandemic, how can we exhibit and share projects, ideas andartworks with other people in lieu of a physical space? This question informed thecreation of our digital garden project that can be accessed from all over the worldwith an internet connection and a web-browser. We invite you to explore our garden at any time and from any place.
PRISM BELL / UV TOWER
Live Music Event Advancements in technology enable us to surpass the analogue restrictions ofsound production and build novel music instruments for the digital age. In thislive-event, Lia Mice will present PRISM BELL, a large scale instrument exploring thefull-body engagement of the musician. Andrea Guidi & Giacomo Lepri also presenttheir UVTOWER that uses mirrors and lasers to produce rhythm and sound.
before detach()
Exhibition before detach() is an exhibition of art installations produced by H3 in Bucharest. It revolves around the concept of detachment. A final outburst of life in a space now meant to perish, aiming to re-appropriate in a final cut the metamorphosis of this living space as holder of past events. Works speak of detaching from the past, from known identities, from the body, from old habits and familiarity. before detach() prepares the unexpected.
AI x Music Festival: Bot Bop Musikalisches Gestalten und Innovation mit AI
Andrew Claes (BE) and Dago Sondervan (NL)
Musical phrases are fed in real-time to a live coded machine learning model. The emerging virtual agent reacts and is again reacted to, creating an organic feedback loop. Utilising improvisational, instant composing and algorithmic musical techniques, listen to the duo becoming a trio during the course of this performance.
Cellular Seeds – Inexorable futures
Alejandra Marinaro (AR)
The Latinamerican Bioarte Lab (LatBioLab) explores more than 12 years of Bioart in Argentina. From ‘The Biosphere Project‘, Joaquín Fargas (AR), a simple way to show the world ecosytem, until ‘Colony‘, Darío Sacco (AR) that connects technology with biology and ‘Cellular Seeds - Inexorable Futures‘, Aleandra Marinaro (AR) that generates a new kind of “tech-life“. The Biosphere Project launches the adoption program of small worlds: ¨Adopt a World, adopt your World¨.
Cellular Seeds - Live Interaction with the artist
Alejandra Marinaro (AR)
Live interaction with the artist The existence of destiny is an inherent question about the human condition and many believe it to be unique. Meet the artist behind Cellular Seeds. Link to enter will be available in alejandramarinaro.com

Drums Radio

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.
