BIOMETRIC MIRROR
Lucy McRae, Natasha Greenhalgh, Dr Niels Wouters

Biometric Mirror is an immersive and at times controversial installation that blends the act of casually glancing at one’s reflection with modern algorithmic perspectives on facial perfection. The artwork explores the accuracy and flaws of artificial intelligence and the ‘uncanny valley’ of algorithmic perfection and its potential black mirror outcomes.

Prue Lang, Mathieu Briand, Mark Elgar and Alicia Sometimes

Join choreographer Prue Lang, artist Mathieu Briand and evolutionary ecologist Prof Mark Elgar as they discuss their journey with phasmids and BODY / INSECT / MACHINE, a work that explores the body/androids/artificial movement/intelligence on the one side and the body/human instinct/natural movement/nature on the other.

On the eve of uncertainty
Charlotte Jarvis (UK)

The location for our tour is sunset on and in my 39-weeks-pregnant body. The tour examines the project In Posse, in which I am collaborating with scientists to make the world’s first ‘female’ semen. It also reflects on how watching my body mutate during 2020 – this most mutable of years – has been a uniquely queering experience, which has changed my perspective on my practice, politics, patriarchy and society.

Beside the Nibelungen bridge / Neben der Nibelungenbrucke
Matthew Gardiner (AU)

Festival, late, Golden Nicas delivered. A mixed hoard spill into Linz; eclectic electric musicians chattering in nihongo, intro-and-extro-verted artists and friends not seen for an age for the tyranny of distance. Drawn involuntarily to places warmer and happier than Hans in Glück, to a lone Würstlstand in Linz. Perhaps beside the Linzer Nibelungenbrucke.
