Performances
The Earth's Pulse
Joaquín Fargas (AR), Johnny Lugo Vega (PR)
The Earth’s Pulse is a performance by Argentinian artist Joaquín Fargas, where the artist intertwines our Mother Earth with the Universe by connecting special seismometers to his own body, receiving signals sent by interacting audiences from all over the world, and sending the signals btained to outer space through radio telescopes. The audience will be able to interact with the artist iin real time during the performance, by sending words and relating a message of their choice to Mother Earth (Pacha Mama and Atabey) and to the Universe.
Cycles
Fabián Andrade (CL)
La República de la Montaña is a permaculture farm located in Peñalolén which, together with the Chilean Video Corporation, want to bring us closer to nature. The search for autonomy comes as a deep reflection of our own life cycles and their impact in our life. Get to know the dependent works of Whitesample and the robot Orchestra, and celebrate We tripantu with Comparsa Chin Chin Tirapié, celebrating neo-ruralism in a post-pandemic context.
Lost Interferences
Maia Morgenstern (RO), Constantin Basica (US/RO), Romeo Cornelius (RO), Irina Margareta Nistor (RO), Alexandru Berceanu (RO), Deep Prateek Verma (US), Alexandru Ponoran (RO), Grigore Burloiu (RO), Bucharest Garden
Lost Interferences We lost objects. We lost information. We lost friends. We lost dear ones. We lose hope, cells, memory, and sometimes we feel that we lose the future. We get lost. When we lose something, we sometimes get desperate, we sometimes get lonely, we isolate. We, Alexandru, Constantin, Maia, Romeo, Prateek, and Grigore want to know how you felt when you lost something. What made you feel weak? How did you regain your sense of identity?
Punkte Radio
Mélodie Blaison, Lucie Bortot, Anne Line Drocourt, Samia EL HADJ, Typhaine Guilloux, Cinna Peyghamy, Simon Pochet, Audrey Repon
Punkte (.--. ..- -. .-. - .) is an eight-headed chimera, researching and working within the field of sound and beyond. As part of the Arts and Sound Creation 2021-2022 postgraduate session at l’ENSA Bourges, we aim to reconsider the relationship between the fine arts and sound matters. Our name, Punkte, is a tribute to Ursula Bogner, a scientist in the pharmaceuticals sector and a composer (recordings 1969-1988) who perhaps never existed. It is also a nod to the action video Punkt (2006), in which Roman Signer, filmed sitting in profile in front of a blank canvas, waits for the explosion of the firecracker behind him to surprise him and set him in motion.
NOCTURNE
Mark Chavez (US/SG), Victoria Primus (AT), Ina Conradi (US/SG), Tate Chavez (US)
Nocturne is a reflection of the current state affairs after one year of pandemic. Created as a rite of spring, this large-scale, immersive installation uses interactive and audio-reactive visuals with emotive-abstraction animation, mapping emotions, and design with the real-time flow of a dance performance.
Transient
Quayola (IT) / Seta (IT)
Transient - Impermanent paintings is an audiovisual concert for motorized piano and conductor in collaboration with generative algorithms. Hyper-realistic digital brushstrokes articulate endlessly on a large-scale projection as if on a real canvas. Each brushstroke is sonified with a piano note, creating polyphonic synesthetic landscapes. Transient starts a new direction in Quayola Studio, where experimentation extends to sound through unconventional generative systems. This project features Quayola’s studio collaborator and musician Andrea Santicchia aka Seta.
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.
NAKED AI
Cisco Italy s.r.l (IT), Logotel (IT)
What happens when artificial intelligence (AI) and human creativity intersect? Naked AI, a research project created and launched by Cisco Italia and Logotel, looks at how this encounter can lead to an evolution of human relationships, in companies and in society at large. There have already been encounters, and confrontations, between human creativity and AI.

The Wandering Mind
Gershon Dublon (US), Xin Liu (CN), with guest artist Xiao Xiao (US/FR)
Shape your dreams with the sounds of our world. The Wandering Mind is an AI-powered micro-sampler that assembles winding soundscapes from thousands of global field recordings found online. In curated performances, group naps and guided mind-wanderings, we convene collective actions of sleeping together. In this special series for Ars, entitled “Field Sketches from Imaginary Travels,” guest performer Xiao Xiao combines the ambient soundscapes of Wandering Mind with improvisational theremin, keyboard, and vocals.
