In this symposium / Open Lab(108) we will get presentations from our Spirits in Complexity collaborators from the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, as well as from members of the Intelligent Instruments Lab.The artistic research project “Spirits in Complexity – Making kin with experimental music systems” conducted at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, Austria, explores the functional and affective relationships of humans and technological objects in the context of experimental music-making.
The titular term “spirits” is used in a more or less metaphorical sense to refer to an opaque complexity that characterizes human and non-human interaction in the artistic-creative context. One of the experimental setups devised by the team is what they call ‘Black Box Music’.
It is a concept of musical improvisation involving black box electronic music systems that have each been created/selected by one team member, but were played by another team member, unaware of the inner workings. The technologies involved as non-human partners included analog and digital systems alike.
When: August 22, 3pm.
Where: Veröld - Hús Vigdísar. Room 103.
