Rosa Menkman (NL)
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.
Mario de Vega (MX/DE)
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.
Paul Gründorfer (AT)
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.
