[re]BO[u]NDS ~ expanded media
LOXOSconcept – Giulio Colangelo (IT), Valerio De Bonis (IT)

[re]BO[u]NDS is an electroacoustic composition/performance for three electromechanical performers (drippers), reactive and synchronized lights, real time audio processing + electronic sounds.
Sentientia
Dorin Cucicov (MD)

Sentientia attempts to reconstruct the experience of a sentient creature that learns to interact with the external world. Inspired by Dr. Frankenstein’s creature, Sentientia sends audio signals to its environment and waits for a response to establish an emotional connection. Emotional combinations are generated by the machine and transformed into sound. Once the system understands that it has a mind and is conscious of its surroundings, will it start looking for entities like itself to create social networks of emotional intelligence?
TARDIGRADA – von mikrobiotischen Lebenskünstlern
Maria Antonia Schmidt (DE)

The tardigrade or water bear, a microorganism, survives environmental conditions that hardly any other living creature can withstand. While researchers are working on deciphering the secrets of the tardigrade's survival, the media are throwing themselves at the cute bear and marketing it in all conceivable variations. In the end, the work poses the question of what sound these tiny creatures make. This is reason enough for the world's first tardigrade nano-ear experiment: a musical radio feature/4channel audio installation between science and absurdity.
Rêverie Reset
Yan Lei (CN)

Rêverie Reset is a system that expands on Yan Lei's practice of dissolving images into concepts. The video-installation makes use of cutting-edge computational systems and networking technologies in order to reaffirm the artist's notion of the artificiality of representation and the irrelevance of the image.
Stereospacer: Nature Space
Michael Markert (DE)

Explore how virtual insect and physical city sounds mix and discover how this experience changes the perception of the area outside the exhibition space.
Immersify: Immersive Ambisonic Audio
Maciej Glowiak (PL), Maciej Jaskiewicz (PL), Leszek Nowak (PL), Wojciech Raszewski (PL), Jan Skorupa (PL), Eryk Skotarczak (PL)

Experimental ambisonic space combined with VR: The installation is built of 24 independent loudspeakers, which come together to create a sphere. Visitors have the opportunity to stand in the center of the area, wear VR goggles and take part in two different music sessions.
AI-Pop. Walking sound-knowledge-base
Werner Jauk (AT)

It is the bodily experience of sound that determines its structuring: sound brings the body in motion leading to e-motion generating sound – interaction leads to a collective and collectivizing dynamic soundstream of being “communis.”
Radiosands
Thom Kubli (DE/CH)

Lines of catchy pop songs, melodies of classical music, fragments of spoken language – the sound installation Radiosands manipulates radio broadcasts in real time. By means of an AI system, its contents become transformed into an acoustic choreography.
Spectacular Resonance
CCW, University of the Arts London

MA Fine Art Digital is a course that asks questions about what art is in a digital environment. Rather than focusing on specific technology, it allows students from incredibly diverse backgrounds to engage with significant issues through their art. BA Print & Time Based Media is a course that combines the traditional with the contemporary, bringing together print-making, photography, film, audio, writing, video and performance art. This exhibition is co-curated by artists and Program Directors Jonathan Kearney and Lois Rowe from UAL and will showcase work from areas they oversee.
Saxophone and Live Electronics Improvisation Concert
Jérôme Nika (FR), Rémi Fox (FR)

C’est pour ça develops an electronic aesthetic while seeking to preserve the organic character of the summoned “memories” (traditional choirs, spoken voice, saxophone playing modes...).
