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.

ZoomBx: KTV Sessions Vol II.
Rico Graupner (DE)

ZoomBx: KtV Sessions Vol II. focuses on the experimental exploration for real-time-driven composition of public soundscapes. Sound events and movement patterns inside a terrarium are tracked, interpreted, and acoustically applied to a concrete fusion with the outer soundscape. The result is an automated soundscape composition between randomness and determinism, from which questions about the cultural significance of designed sounds and the originality of acoustic phenomena can be deduced.

NOLANDX
Ulf Langheinrich (DE)

*NOLANDX* is an audiovisual composition. The aesthetic nucleus of the work are the image planes, algorithmically generated noise and lines as well as recordings of sea waves. This referential source material is transformed by slit-scan and other interventions on the time level. The result is a pulsating, stereoscopically black and white space: immersion in the interworld.

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.

Wind Charm
Liu Zhicheng (CN)

What were the earliest musical Instruments of mankind? How did humanity start enjoying music? This work attempts to transform emotions into simple signals produced by blowing air on bottlenecks, which is directly controlled by brain waves. Like the hand of a pioneer musician, the users explore the boundary between sound and emotion with their brain waves.

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.”

Radio Cloud
Cao Thanh Lan (VN/AT), Gregor Siedl (AT)

Radio Cloud is an interactive light-sound-installation by Cao Thanh Lan and Gregor Siedl, which is based on a real-time and site-specific feedback circuit. „Radio cloud“ has an unbiased unfiltered „input“ from real-time FM frequencies on site, only limited by the range of the antenna and the characteristics of the exhibition space. Its input-media is also its output – light and sound. They are mutually dependent, they define, interact and influence each other. The reciprocality of the two energy forms drive things forwards.

Innen Außen
Wolfgang Dorninger (AT)

Creating a sound space in the interior that overcomes the physics of space is what drives me. To remodel natural sound spaces in the outdoor area, as well. Two completely different sound spaces collide violently in “Inside Outside”. Somewhere the sound space expands, elsewhere the flow is prevented.
