Atomistic – Performance
Elisa Storelli & Constantin Engelmann
Die audiovisuelle Performance der Tessiner Künstlerin Elisa Storelli dreht sich um Zeit und die Möglichkeiten ihrer Darstellung. Darin treten ihre zwei Werke “Time Piece” und “Neocortex” in einen Dialog.
Debris Redux (ANOTHER AUTOMATIC READING) (1997-2018)
Computer Music Performance von Bernd Schurer
Ein klangkünstlerisches Forschungsprojekt – Daten Sonifikation und Komposition zu Okumolotorik und spezifischen Varianten des Lesens unter Verwendung eines dafür komponierten Librettos, elektronischer Klangsynthese und Mehrkanal-Raumdiffusion.
Für Computer, Eye-Tracker, Performer(in) und Mehrkanal-Audiosystem
Im Fokus des viertägigen Workshops stehen die Möglichkeiten, welche die Programmiersprache SuperCollider für netzwerkbasierte gemeinsame Musikperformances bietet. Öffentliches Abschlusskonzert am Samstag, 30.9., 14 Uhr. Gäste, die sich in das Netzwerk einklinken wollen, sind herzlich willkommen!
Dozenten: Alberto de Campo, Fredrik Olofsson, Hannes Hoelzl, Alexandra Cardenas
Happy to announce that Titus von der Malsburg an myself are part of this years’ xCoAx exhibition programme with our research piece Automatic Reading (obfuscation):
xCoAx is an exploration of the intersection where computational tools and media meet art and culture, in the form of a multi-disciplinary enquiry on aesthetics, computation, communication and the elusive X factor that connects them all.
Since 2013, xCoAx has been an occasion for international audiences to meet and exchange ideas, in search of interdisciplinary synergies among computer scientists, artists, media practitioners and theoreticians at the threshold of digital arts and culture.
The focus is on the unpredictable overlaps between the chaos and freedom of creativity and the rules and determinism of algorithms, between human nature and machine technology, with the aim to evolve towards new directions in aesthetics.
In 2017 xCoAx will take place for the first time in Lisbon, in and around the Faculty of Fine Arts, right in the heart of the city center in Chiado.

Bernd Schurer and Titus von der Malsburg Automatic Reading (Obfuscation)
During reading, we rapidly construct meaning from sequences of rather cryptic symbols. A multitude of processes are involved in making meaning happen, however, most of them are conveniently tucked away from the reader’s conscious experience allowing them to read effortlessly without having to worry about any of the practicalities such as where to place the gaze next and for how long. The present work reflects on the marvelous feat that is reading. In an experiment-like situation, we create a perceptual short-circuit that unlocks the otherwise unconcsious processes involved in reading. To this end, the test subject is exposed to a written libretto while a computer tracks their eye movements and translates them to sound in real time. The artistic implementation is based on parametric synthesis (“mapping”) and model-based sonification.
From “Fuzzy Arc (Coda)” EP – Movement 01-04 – a bonus download EP that came with the “parallax” CD (domizil 27) – 2008.
These sound- pieces explore granular and dynamic stochastic synthesis processes influenced by a neural network algorithm (ctrnn) to create similar auditory events to those informed by the composer. The pieces are all recorded live.
