Eruptions

Suyang Kim (KR), Dieter Stemmer (AT), Marlene Reischl (AT), Christian Philip Berger (AT)

Emotional outbursts and eruptive climaxes dominate this program both musically and visually.

Che si può fare?

Monica Vlad (RO) with guest Johanna Falkinger (AT)

The theme of this performance is based on feelings of melancholy, sadness, fear of loss, meditation and anger and how music can be used to express and release these emotions.

The Eye of the Other

MAEID – Daniela Mitterberger (AT), Tiziano Derme (IT/AT)

The Eye of the Other delves into non-verbal communication between humans and bats, through the study, translation and manipulation of the bat’s echolocation. This multimodal immersive artwork derives from the desire to transcend the limitation of our living experience by exploring the deeper meaning of mutualistic relationships and interspecies communication between humans and animals, juxtaposing the animals’ gaze and the human gaze.

Das Audiovisuelle Archiv / Sometimes a Thousand Twangling Instruments

Volkmar Klien (AT), Snark.art (US)

Sounds and images; paired and archived. A reading apparatus.

Nokia Bell Labs

Domhnaill Hernon (US)

An interactive experience fusing music and image. Users’ movements are transformed into a dynamically designed audio-visual experience through the Bell Labs Motion Engine.

Fantasie#1

Quadrature (DE) in collaboration with Christian Losert (DE)

Via a radio telescope in front of the venue, the noise of the skies is performed by a self-playing organ. Little by little, neural networks take control over the organ and seek out familiar harmonies in the otherworldly noises. Ideas of melodies evolve as the artificial intelligence begins to fantasize about familiar tunes in these alien sounds.

Speculative Artificial Intelligence

Birk Schmithüsen (DE)

The work consists of a series of aesthetic experiments designed to make processes of artificial neural networks perceptible to humans through audiovisual translation. Exp. # 1 examines inner behavior during the prediction and learning process. Exp. # 2 questions an AI’s capacity for empathy and purpose while communicating with a second AI.

subassemblies

Ryoichi Kurokawa (JP)

Audiovisual concert, 2019 subassemblies is a project that pursues the relationship between natural and human-made structures through a perspective of architectural scale. It consists of several different presentation formats such as concert, installation, prints (sculptures) and screening.

TORSO #1

Peter Kutin (AT)

TORSO #1 is a sound sculpture that is visually reminiscent of a klopotec. This windmill-like wooden construction serves as a scarecrow in vineyards as it mechanically generates sounds and vibrations. Here, an electro-acoustic system of four 100 V loudspeakers rotates at different speeds, generating feedback patterns and modulating sound signals and the spatial sound itself. The targeted acceleration and deceleration of the rotating of the four-voice system serves as the central compositional means for the 35-minute piece – the sculpture becomes an abstract, audiovisual instrument. Warning: The stroboscope-like visual stimuli can cause physical discomfort (dizziness, nausea, etc.) or epileptic seizures in susceptible individuals.

STATION ROSE (AT)

#Urbana Natura in_hancing_The_Augmented & vice versa is an augmented audio-visual installation, an “Out of Nature into Urban Augmented Space & Back again” exhibition. The ensemble of nature, urban and augmented spaces shows the already existing deep interweaving of these seemingly independent levels and forms of life.
