Lucas Bambozzi (BRA): On the Rise and Fall of the Multitude

In his project “Multitude (brava gente),” which has been running since 2006, Lucas Bambozzi uses the technique of a multitude sequence to confront us for example in one version of his “Multitude” with 100 members of the indigenous population in São Paulo sharing a single moment of experience together. Here Bambozzi draws on the ideas of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negro about the conflict between the individual and the collective and reflects on the condition of the individual as an “inter-agent” in the field of art and technology.
As part of frame[o]ut digital summer screenings, Lucas Bambozzi will present his project and talk with curator Ursula Maria Probst on August 18.

Ivana Pegan Baće (HRV): The Dark Places

Multimedia artist Ivana Pegan Baće recommended by BMEIA presents a sound installation at Raum D / Q21: “The Dark Places” formulates mental chains of association where text phrases in speech bubbles are combined with songs, which the artist performs in order to guide visitors with headphones through the space.  All texts and songs are characterized by a prevailing melancholic tone and tackle issues such as pain, desire and unrequited love.

Selena Savić (SRB)

Selena Savić is an architect, media artist and researcher. Extending her interest in architectural qualities of wireless communication to technology in general, she works on articulations of this language in a computational manner. During her residency she will work on  programming autonomous Twitter bots that will speak of technology and architecture through the prism of several contemporary theoreticians and an army of Twitter users who are interested in #BIM #Rhyno #AutoCAD #IoT. In this way we will get unforeseeable insights into the algorithmic effects of computational processes on space and our experience of it.
