        Synchronization

        Teoma Naccarato and PhD John Maccallum / Canada

        In this intimate installation, participants are invited to join a partner inside a private booth. With electronic stethoscopes and transducers, the duo share the rhythms of their hearts in real-time, stimulating sites of pulsation on one's own and one another's bodies.

        Sonic Flowers, A Journey into the Intimacy of Sound by Aquatrio Ensemble

        Marianne Decoster-Taivalkoski, Luis Alejandro Olarte and José Alejandro Montes de Oca / Finland

        Aquatrio presents a sound installation performance made of small sonic sculptural modules spread around in a garden and resonating multicultural diversities of both Finland and Manizales region. The detailed nuances of the sonic experience will take the audience into a subtle and intimate listening adventure. Visitors can feel how divergent sonic ecosystems organize themselves as a supportive and colorful whole and how listening is a key to creating this whole.

        inconnu

        Zeynep Ozcan / Turkey

        Inconnu is originally composed for a 20-channel Acousmonium, which is commonly known as a “loudspeaker orchestra”. Each sound is designed for separate speakers, but each channel is considered to be laid out in a linear fashion where one sound could only travel into adjacent channels, implying a strict directionality. However, the loudspeakers for the performance are placed on separate levels and asymmetrical spots in the construction in a non-linear fashion. Furthermore, when the piece travels in the space, the structure itself adds various effects beyond what the composition affords and further interrupts the linearity of the sonic trajectories.

        Molecular Queering Agency

        Mary Maggic / USA
        Our world is an alien landscape filled with toxicities. Thanks to petrochemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries, we live in a toxic landscape that has been colonized by hormones. These endocrine disrupting molecules are able to transfect change at the morphological level, queering our bodies and bodies of non-human species. But there is no need for sex panic. The Molecular Queering Agency will guard you against the old notion of a stable body, extracting hormones from bodily fluids (urine) and ecological fluids (rivers). From xeno-forces arise xeno-solidarities, capable of collectively hacking the systems of hormonal colonization.

        Realities Group

        Exploring the graphic patterns generated by the shadows of the Herveo Tower, a projection on a screen positioned amidst two of its columns will display Processing real-time drawings generated by code. The pattern of lines, as well as their velocity, will change according to the behavior of people walking on its surroundings (as mapped from a computer-vision device positioned nearby).

        Basic Transmutation / Alien-Migration

        Aniara Rodado and Jean-Marc Chomaz Music created by: Jorge Barco / France

        In Transmutation de base (Basic Transmutation), choreographer Aniara Rodado and artist physicist Jean-Marc Chomaz create a participatory space for immersive human-plant interaction. While the dancers perform movements derived from scientific research into the movement of plants, into mechanical transduction, morphogenesis and collective plant movements, the audience is invited on stage to be immersed into the olfactory scope produced in real time by the large distillation apparatuses that are blown , on purpose, as 'glitches'. In order to address and destabilize human stereotypes of how plants are considered, Rodado distills symbolically highly charged plants.

        Nicholas Gomez 

        Colombia

        He works as an artist, curator and art historian. Through exploration with different media —mainly painting and sculpture— he resorts to visual codes for the representation of the sensory and perceptual experience of space. He works with objects and images that reveal the tensions between the artificial and the natural, and the sensory experience in relation to the categorization and measurement systems of science and language. Both in his artistic work and in his research work, he has delved into the references to the rural and urban landscape in modern and contemporary art, as well as the development and validity of abstract art.
