is an artist and sound researcher based in Amsterdam, NL. His work researches the interdependencies between sound, place and listening, aspects of which are explored through installations, writing, and the development of pressure-forming and vibration-sensing technologies. His installations examine context-dependent sites of contemporary listening relating to environmental infrasound (Long-Wave Synthesis, Dark Ecology, Kirkeness, NO and Sonic Acts, Amsterdam, NL), mineral piezoelectricity (Quartz Attention, Hyperobjects, Ballroom Marfa, Texas, USA), anechoic chambers (Padded Sounds, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin, DE) and materiality of radio transmission (Radio Plays Itself, Forecast for Shipping and Knallfunken) in collaboration with ORF Kunstradio, AT, BBC Radio 4, UK, and Deutschlandfunk Kultur respectively, DE. Recent installations develop in-situ circuits relating to human-mineral binds (Agora Circuit, Tuned City / Onassis Cultural Foundation, Messene, GR) and telluric currents (Westhafen Ground-Electric, Singuhr at ZK/U Berlin, DE). Raviv Ganchrow is currently a faculty member at the Institute of Sonology, University of the Arts, The Hague, NL.
director of Estudio de Campo, is a dancer, aesthetic and explorer. She graduated from Aesthetics in Universidad Católica de Chile and studied dance at ENA (Escuela Nacional de las Artes) in Cuba. Estudio de Campo (Field studies), is a laboratory for scenic, architecture, and life practices. Today it is based in a historic warehouse in Barrio Huemul, Santiago. Sometimes Estudio de Campo acts as a collective, sometimes as a thoughtful organ for “other solutions”, including all kinds of sensitive bodies and materials, both human and non-human, animals and spirits, in the processes of affection and significance within the landscape.
dedicated to understand the nature of deformation in the Andes mountain range, Gerd works by combining perspectives of structural and seismotectonic geology. With experience in active volcanic chains (Southern Andes and Southern Andes), he is the scientific coordinator of the Prisma Austral Foundation, developing a multidisciplinary approach in the canals and fjords of the Magallanes region, bringing together teams of biology, geophysics, geology, art and archeology. He has participated in the creation of documentary series for the dissemination of earth sciences and has collaborated with artists in the creation of the first scientific mural in Chile.
Its fundamental motivation is the creation of knowledge for the responsible conservation of pristine land- and seascapes.
Researcher in the area of volcanology, focused on the study of magma fragmentation and ash generation in explosive volcanic eruptions, through analogous experiments in the laboratory and the characterization of the grain size distribution of the resulting fragments.
She is a Geological Engineer graduated from the Universidad de Los Andes, ULA (Venezuela), and subsequently carried out post-graduate studies (2012-2014), within the framework of an ERASMUS MUNDUS program, of the European Commission, in the study of fine soil materials (clays), ending with a double degree from the Université de Poitiers (France) and the Technical University of Crete (Greece). She carried out PhD studies (2014-2018) within a Marie Curie project, also from the European Commission, within an ITN, VERTIGO (Initial Trainning Network), in the Department of Physics and Geology of the University of Perugia (Italy).
Her research interests cover the analysis of samples from pyroclastic deposits in order to understand efficiency on the magma fragmentation process, and linking, as well, this efficiency of fragmentation with eruptive energy for the evaluation of volcanic hazard.
Her sound work and compositions concentrates on fragility, dreamworld and the subconscious. Performs continuously solo or in cooperations everywhere between Mexico City and Vienna. Numerous compositions for ensembles, radio works as well as installations that operate at the interface of music, performance and visual arts. Several releases on labels like Interstellar records, Mikroton recordings, Monotype records, Mosz, chamafu nocords, Orlando Records, einklang_records, Mandorla Label, Thalamos, upside down records etc.
Technician in Plastic Arts and Design with a specialty in artistic casting and electroplating. He has worked on various artistic installations in Chile, Spain, and Switzerland. He has participated in different designs and installations of Terra Ignota, including the ‘wind oscillators,’ their field test installation; the ‘oscillator,’ the version powered by industrial motors of the ‘wind oscillators’; and the design and testing of the hanging system for the ‘Rocks’ installation. He was also in charge of assembling pieces and museography for the first homonymous exhibition of the project at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santiago. His specialty is the design, assembly, and testing of experimental metal and mechanical pieces with extensive experience in technical project development for artists, architects, and designers.
is an artist, curator, and researcher, focusing on the noise artifacts that result from accidents in both analogue and digital media (such as glitch, encoding, and feedback artifacts). These artifacts can facilitate an important insight into the otherwise obscure alchemy of standardization via resolutions. This process of imposing efficiency, order and functionality does not just involve the creation of protocols and solutions, but also entails black-boxed, obfuscated compromises, and alternative possibilities that are in danger of staying forever unseen or even forgotten.
is an artist who’s work exhibits the failure of unstable arrangements; raw electronic signals produced and altered by electric obstructions are mixed with scattered acoustic activity resulting from chemical reactions, voltage fluctuations and abrupt signal-routing variations. He has been guest artist at Tama Art University, Universität der künste Berlin, kyushu University, Rijksakademie, Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt, Technische Universität Berlin, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts de Paris, Centro de Diseño, Cine y Televisión, Braunschweig University of Art, kW Institute of Contemporary Art, Laboratorio Arte Alameda, Universität für angewandte kunst Wien and Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center, among others. His work has been exhibited in Mexico, Canada, United States, Chile, South Africa, India, South korea, China, Russia, Japan and across Europe. He lives and works in Berlin and Mexico City.
is using process-related setups to explore sonic worlds and to realise site specific interventions, developing real time audio systems, that act autonomous or in reference to the spatial constellation. While considering the encounters between analog and digital, structured or improvised elements, he is focusing on the abstract occurrence of sound and its physical impact. Electronic circuits are interconnected to cause semi-natural entities, autonomous organisms. Voice and articulation are generated through loops in feedback networks. Onomatopoeia. Artistic activities examine the connections of acoustic and visual transmitter – receiver networks. The topic transmitter – receiver is assumed as a conceptual framework for process-related experiments with of sound, light and transmission of information, but also refers to the applied research methods.
Born in 1989, Lisa Lurati trained at the Vevey School of Photography (CEPV) from 2011 to 2015. Her work, focused on photography and visual arts, has been presented in collective exhibitions and publications in Switzerland and Germany since 2013. She lives and works in Lugano and Berlin, and, during the spring 2018, was artist in residence at the Villa Ruffieux, in Sierre.
