Touchscaping Ecological audiovisual performance
Friday, May 19. Green House Tivoli
at 8.00 pm mag Blanka Ravnjak Skrivnostni svet talne favne
at 8.30pm performance Saša Spačal/Slavko Glamočanin Touchscaping
Saša Spačal and Slavko Glamočanin presents intra-active living sculpture, in which the artist will interact with a nest of earthworms. A system of sensors transfers their touch into visual and audio images. Touchscaping triggers a confrontation with the unclear and the alien within us so that we can recognize the empathy, that otherwise, due to our cultural context, is not allowed to be perceived.

Luka Prinčič a.k.a. Nova deViator: Resonating Places, Now leans on pondering about what can constitute a resonance, where it is situated and if time does have anything to do with it. In the piece various sonic materials are used, mostly digitally generated and processed. Formaly it draws on fusion of the various elements: glitches, syntesized sounds, micro-harmonies, pulses, beats, drones and textures. It is created specifically for ZVO.ČI.TI so.und.ing DUO project.
Goto80: Ljubljama is a live improvisation made on the 1980’s home computer Commodore 64. There are no preparations and all the instruments and arrangement are typed from scratch in an archaic computer interface, shown on a screen for the audience to follow every step.
Luka Prinčič a.k.a. Nova deViator – Goto80: General Purpose Users The piece is inspired by the idea (via Olia Lialina) that in order to critically understand contemporary technology we need to bring back the notion of a general user and protect the general purpose computer. We may look like hackers, but we are users like everyone else.

Walk the City_english info
Walk the City is a multimedia performance, a sound map designed for the viewer to enter and follow by way of a mobile phone application. By listening to sound images imprinted in carefully selected locations in the city centre, the viewer is thus crossing between fictitious and real situations. The map connects sound with space, offering them as a whole to be experienced or reflected upon. Between spaces as they are. And spaces as they were. Or could have been. Or may yet come to be
