Cooperative Aesthetics

For the fourth time, new projects on Cooperative Aesthetics will be presented in Deep Space during the Ars Electronica Festival, to enable visitors to share an audiovisual aesthetic experience.

This year, three works by students from Interface Culture, which were developed under the supervision of Univ.Prof. Gerhard Funk and Univ.Ass. Holunder Heiss (Department of Time-Based and Interactive Media Art at the Art University Linz) as part of the “AEC Deep Space” course, will be shown.

Post-Dervish Chant: WORKSHOP

Smirna Kulenovic (BA)

Post-Dervish Dance Method Workshop offers the participants a chance to experience a contemporary approach to the ancient methodology of Dervish Dance as an active meditation form, while immersed in the visualization of their movement in Deep Space 8K Studio. This form aims to improve one’s physical, emotional and psychological awareness by introducing trance states of interconnectedness with the environment and oneself. As participants learn how to continuously whirl for an extended period of time, they gain a novel perception of what is transpiring as they are whirling. For both dancers and people without previous movement experience, this workshop encourages to follow intuitive and instinctual movement and vocalization, without any expectations of the outcome.

Post-Dervish Chant

Smirna Kulenovic (BA) & TAZ 22 (IR, DE, PL, USA/GR, RS, CZ), Indiara Di Benedetto (IT)

A transdisciplinary performance situated as a contemporary interactive audiovisual and performative research of traditional Dervish dance methods. The process of repetitive whirling in traditional Dervish dance allows the performers to enter a trance state which extends into an experimental, novel and spontaneous movement vocabulary that attempts to embody the relationship between diffraction, memory and vulnerability in post-pandemic, human and non-human materialities. The processual employment of dance, movement and vocalization becomes a form of inquiry, rooted in personal documentary approaches done by each participating artist.

CacheDash

Tiio Suorsa (FI)

CacheDash is an interactive video installation that invites visitors to release, walk and paint with their hidden memories. Cache is one of the most intimate parts of our devices as concealed memories are to our minds. It is only when they are slowed down that one is able to see them. We leave traces, traces are left on us. CacheDash is part of an exploration on how to be human between virtual and actual realities.

Quiet Gesture Towards

Juan Pablo Linares Ceballos (CO)

Quiet Gesture Towards is an interactive installation that explores images as gestures performed in space, and wonders at the experienced feeling that constantly shapes and constructs them from what remains in our memory and hopes, to push us towards shared and desirable collaborative futures.
