Modified Paradise: Dress

AnotherFarm (JP)

Modified Paradise is a series of sculptural works made from “luminescent silk” – created by genetically modified silkworms developed by adding the genes of glowing jellyfish and corals. The dress, which floats within a frame with no body, aims to encourage us to think about the extremes and limitations of the interaction between art, science, and technology.

INSTRUMENT SEMATARY

Lia Mice (AU)

INSTRUMENT SEMATARY is an interactive sonic sculpture created from broken, pre-owned classical instruments that have been brought back to life with a new digital identity. Inspired by Stephen King's Pet Sematary in which deceased animals return to life with unfamiliar, evil personalities, this work explores the environmental choices of musicians and instrument designers, and our responsibilities to preserve historical hand-crafted musical instruments that are becoming increasingly out of fashion in a digital age.

Chowndolo

Giacomo Lepri (IT)

The Chowndolo is an interactive sonic sculpture based on a magnetic pendulum: an oscillating stick whose trajectories are altered by magnets placed underneath the device.

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.

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.

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.
