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

Programmable Droplets

Udayan Umapathi (IN/US)

The Programmable Droplets system was created to use droplets in our environment and program them for information manipulation and human interaction.

(un)shaped

Takayuki Hirai (JP), Yasuaki Kakehi (JP)

This installation utilizes antibubbles in water as a medium. Through computationally controlled droplets, the antibubbles form various patterns on the water’s surface. Then they start to float in the water and disappear after a while. These periodic phenomena shows continuous morphing from computationally controlled forms to organic ones mediated by the environment.

PRESSURE

Julian Pixel Schmiederer (AT), Gregor Franz (AT), Johannes Rass (AT), Lara Rabitsch (AT)

The movie is a mirror of modern society where uniqueness is demonized, where striving for freedom is something uncommon and where chasing your dreams is not cool anymore. In a society like this it´s hard for people to identify themselves, because we are taught not to be different. We are always trying to push our psychological limits to the edge, just to do what others think is good for us. The film is dealing with these issues and looks at them from an artistic perspective.

Utopia

Joaquín Fargas (AR)

Artistic project with the mission to raise awareness about climate change, the melting of ice and the problem of water.

Clams

Marco Barotti (DE/IT)

Clams is a kinetic sound installation that interacts with water quality. Real-time data is streamed by a sensor to shape audio frequencies into a live evolving soundscape which initiates the opening and closing movements of the sculptures. The Clams are made from recycled plastic and intended to raise awareness about water and plastic pollution.
