THE WILD STATE: State of Intimacy

Fabrizio Lamoncha Martinez (ES)

This unique exhibition reflects, in many respects, the diversity of the international Interface Cultures students group. Many of the students’ art and technology projects seem to encourage us to consider new collective values. We hope you’ll be inspired and alerted by their intimate, artistic, socially engaged, technical informed or critical views on our life over the last half year.

THE WILD STATE: Sound Campus

Enrique Tomás (ES)

Sound Campus is a new program especially oriented towards examining the state of experimental sound practices at universities and research centers. It opens a possibility for students and researchers to present new forms of understanding sonic art to the big audience of Ars Electronica Festival. This year’s program, curated by Enrique Tomás, presents uneasy sound performances resonating in the face of a critical present. Intrusive music touching us despite lockdowns.

Shut down your computer and join the third edition of The Internet Yami-Ichi in Linz! The Internet Yami-Ichi derives from the Japanese for "Internet Black Market," but also for "sickness" and "addiction." It is a flea market where people consumed by the Internet can share and buy Internet-related things in real life.

Biocomputer Rhythms

Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR), University of Plymouth (UK), Eduardo Reck Miranda (BR/UK)

Biocomputer Rhythms is a piece for prepared piano and percussion. It is a musical duet between a pianist and an intelligent interactive biocomputer. The biocomputer listens to the piano and produces musical responses during the performance. The responses are played on percussion instruments and on the piano by the pianist. The piano is prepared with electromagnetic actuators positioned inside the instrument to vibrate its strings. Electromagnetic actuators are also used to vibrate percussion instruments.

CyberBallet

CyberRäuber (DE)

CyberBallet is a live performance in cyberspace: What does it mean to have a body, to move in space? Can AI truly grasp the basics of the human experience if it lacks a body?
