In the last edition of our online talk series, Italian sound artist Marta Zapparoli will share her experiences as sound artist working with satellite signals and radiowaves. As we also experimented with making and modding physical antennas as part of a hybrid system, we are excited to hear her experiences! The Inaudible is the hidden…
https://hubs.mozilla.com/acATgSH/autonomous-lobby After a period of intense work, we are opening the exhibition which will temporarily close our project. Across the past months, it appears that what we created as our metaphor visually is a fractal: similar ideas and artefacts re-appearing in different shapes, sizes, constellations. Despite the obvious limits it was exciting to re-purpose Mozilla…
On 03. July we enjoyed hosting an online talk with Damjan Jovanovic, who is an architect, software designer, game designer and runs the studio lifeforms.io. We talked about how the design of space influences human perceptions, how virtual spaces can employ different paradigms from physical ones, what worldmaking and architecture have in common, and we…
as if they were flowers – an audio installation as imaginary guide This page will host an audio as part of our exhibition “as if they were flowers”. Part audioguide, part autonomous sound installation, this takes the listener-viewers into the space created during the project, moving around ideas and artefacts, sonifying a part of our…
Games and Worldmaking As a part of the “Open Feedback Loop” series, the talk by Damjan Jovanovic will present a number of his ongoing projects that explore themes such as personhood, ecology and artificial intelligence, and how their entanglement with simulations and video games brings about new ways of worldmaking. Damjan is an architect, educator…
Games of worldFaking Fake personalities, fake profiles, digital clones of the accounts in social networks are not only landing in the “SPAM” folder, but also are becoming added to “Favourites”. AI-powered clones are not threatening – they are giving creative inspiration. Designers are creating AI-designers. It becomes a trivial task to create the world for…
On 14. May we had the first talk in our series “Open Feedback Loop”. Our guest was Dario Sanfilippo, presenting (live from Sicily!) his ideas about autonomous complex systems in sound. We talked about emergence, the edges of chaos – how many edges does it have? – about the role of the composer-creator as “gardener”…
The more I think through it and work on it, the more it seems to me that music itself seems to be a system of systems, a sort of paradigm for systemic activity. From the ancient times on, music was considered the harmony of the spheres, an audible expression of the system of the whole…
I’m going to talk a bit about “Music on a Long Thin Wire”. I made it in 1977. It was my first sound installation. We know that Max Neuhaus was the first composer to have made sound installations, at least he coined the term. I think it’s fair to say that. I first imagined it…
Dario Sanfilippo – Constructing realities # OFL 1 – 14. May 2021, 17-19h The talk presents the most recent outcomes of the author‘s research on musical complex adaptive systems (CASes). The first part focuses on the concepts of adaptation and complexity within the framework of CASes and suggests a clear identification of the term in…
