Creative Technologies Lunch: »Art, Code and Community-Kitchen«

Diversify the Code

The "Art, Code and Community Kitchen" invites you to have a soup with us and get to know artists and makers that work between art and technology in Hamburg.

Beginning a series of project introductions, Fernanda Ortiz will present the work she is currently developing at Kampnagel: BODIES UNDER INFLUENCE. It is a live VR dance performance that choreographically explores: Where does the body begin, where does nature end and where can the two no longer be separated?

Anngret Schultze and Kattalin Newiger Mitxelena are introducing "Faces. A Shopping Paradise" which is interweaving dance, artistic audio description, 3D animation, and technoid soundscapes into a performance on the theme of identity and consumability.

Dong Zhou will share her project “Meandering Bowing” showing the trajectories of a violinist in the 2nd violin part of an orchestra playing Smetana's The Moldau. The musician’s traces virtually left in space allow for a new perspective on the musician’s authorship and question the hierarchy in musical composition through notation.

MICHAELBRAILEY reads selected passages from their new text-based work ‘Sad Light’ alongside an introduction to the associated research. ‘Sad Light’ is a black .pdf document imprinted with white characters – text and ASCII art – that theoretically, poetically, emotionally and conspiratorially explores the computer screen as an interface into vast, concealed systems of extraction.

Lena Biresch will be presenting their VR project "Me, Myself & My Avatars (or remapping the homunculus)". The project demonstrates how easily humans can mentally adapt their body images and plays with avatars that propose additional limbs or control the entire environment.

Finally, the generative music duo Fragment (Arjun Jamil & Joana Naomi Welteke) will close the lunch. Their performances seamlessly blend organic and synthetic sounds to create sonic landscapes that evolve in real-time.

Come along – whether out of curiosity, to network, with your own questions on the topic or simply for a relaxed lunch break (food at a cost of 5 euros) as part of the DIVERSIFY THE CODE closing event.

Call for Contributions:

Would you like to show your work as part of the "Art, Code and Community-Kitchen"?

Excerpts from music, film projects or stage productions, lecture performances, trailers or sound performances or similar can be shown for a maximum of 15 minutes. The contributions should function as accompaniment for this context. A fee of 100 euros + lunch is available.
