Programm
^lgorithmZoo Pt. 5. : KTV Session
Rico Graupner (DE)
^lgorithm Zoo pt. 5 "KtV Sessions Vol II. is a concert series that deals with the sonic fusion of different biological habitats. In this case, a beetle-controlled synthesizer interacts with the sound installation ZoomBx. The movement events of the insects are tracked by a specially developed software (IcCE) that makes it possible to map the acquired data to musical parameters as well as different positions in space.
Carbon Black (aka A Particular Matter)
Anaïs Tondeur (FR)
Despite the absence of industry, the inhabitants of Fair Isle suffer from respiratory problems. When Anaïs Tondeur visited the island, she retraced the itinerary of the particulate matters she encountered and could define the site of emission of the particles through emissions analyses and backflow models.
Simulation
Jörg Brinkmann (DE)
The sound of a voice from a YouTube clip is analyzed with custom software and translated into servomotor movements. The mouth moves in synch with the video’s voice, which is realized with a bulldog clip that is attached to the lower lip. In the original video clip, a controversial and much-discussed shaman known as Little Grandmother delivers a monologue about religion, ego, and love reminiscent of a mantra.
Inter Faces
Régis Costa de Oliveira (BR)
The Inter Faces performance uses augmented reality to replace the performer's body – including self-portraits – with digital images framed on a screen. The performers will act in a space that fuses the real with the digital. Their actions will likewise occur by crossing in between these two worlds, exploring simulacra and making it evident it from digital contents that seemingly appeal to us, even as it also makes clear how such temptations can exert a narcoticizing, hallucinogenic effect on us.
Deep Angel – Shadows Left Behind
Manuel Cebrian (ES), Zivvy Epstein (US), Joyce Feng (US), Matt Groh (US), Nick Obradovich (US), Iyad Rahwan (SY)
The Shadows Left Behind is a collection of photographs transformed by artificial intelligence to digitally invert permanence and ephemerality. Appealing to the aesthetics of absence, this collection reveals what is disappearing around us, spurs reflection on what we will soon miss, and declutters our thoughts to reawaken imagination and agency.
Confronting Vegetal Otherness: Phytoteratology
Špela Petrič (SI)
Špela Petrič received an award for her three-part series Confronting Vegetal Otherness in which she deals with different forms of exchange between humans and plants. Her project Phytoteratology is a molecular performance in which plant embryos are grown in artificial wombs in lieu of seeds.
Singing Sand 2.0
Tadej Droljc (SI)
Singing Sand 2.0 is the newest iteration of Tadej Droljc’s experimentations with abstract stereographic 3D computer graphics, rendered in 8K for the first time. The piece is an immersive, audiovisual experiment in which the movement of particles is sonified in real-time, affecting the color- and soundscape that envelopes the audience.
CRYPTID
Michael Candy (AU)
A monumental robotic light sculpture, CRYPTID exists as a vibrant anomaly in contrast to contemporary automata, sharing a presence both radiant and reserved.
