Vladislav Delay & AGF present Rakka
Antye Greie-Ripatti (DE), Vladislav Delay (FI)
The Wire described Vladislav Delay as “one of the most consistently creative artists working today.” Reinventing himself regularly, he takes electronic music where he pleases with a unique blend of depth and detail. His music is like a non-existing soundtrack for the underworld; murky, dark and constrained. Antye Greie-Ripatti (also known as AGF) is a music producer, sound artist & curator, poet, gender activist. Her artistic tools are language, sound, listening, voice, and communication which she expresses in mixed media. Since 2011, she is the organizer and co-founder of Hai Art in Hailuoto. Antye campaigns for diversity in the arts with the women’s collective female:pressure. She runs her own music publishing label AGF Producktion and has collaborated with Eliane Radigue, Gudrun Gut, Kaffe Matthews, Craig Armstrong, and Ellen Allien amongst many others.
Meandering River
onformative (DE), kling klang klong (DE)
Meandering River is an audiovisual art installation comprised of real-time visuals and music composed by an A.I. through machine learning. The piece reinterprets the shifting behavior of rivers in the landscape, regarded from a bird’s eye view. Minor changes of riverbeds are not visible for the bare eye, as they are gradually happening over time. Spanning over multiple screens Meandering River visualizes these altering landscapes and makes the changes visible. It leaves the observer with a unique perception of time.
