We warmly invite you to an Open CUBE lecture-performance at the IEM.

Wednesday, 13.12.2017 | 19:00 'systems ∿ encounter' by Till Bovermann (IEM Artist-in-Residence 2017)

A (lecture) performance on aspects of dynamics, systems, and encounter; collected over five months at IEM Graz, incorporating otherness, live coding, and improvisation.

During his residency, Till developed and built ‘Fielding', a platform intended for interspecies music making. Fielding invites (non-)human beings to shape and form an artificial soundscape and consists of semi-autonomous nodes that are wirelessly interconnected and share a common acoustic basis. With this system, he played at various Sonic Wilderness sites he found around Graz and in the Hague, NL (at a residency of the Instrument Inventors Initiative).

The (lecture) performance 'systems ∿ encounter' forms a counterpart to these expeditions, a kind of "Cubing". Till will interweave sounds and visuals collected during his expeditions with generative live sounds into the "Cubing" context, with the intent to share his subjective experiences on (the sounds of) open systems, livecoding, and (artificial) soundscapes with the audience. http://tai-studio.org/portfolio/systems-encounter.html

Till Bovermann, living and working in Helsinki and Berlin, received his PhD for his work on Tangible Auditory Interfaces from Bielefeld University. As a post-doctoral researcher on tangible and auditory interaction at the Media Lab of Aalto University, he initiated the DEIND project in which music instruments for people with autistic spectrum disorder were designed and investigated. Till was the principal investigator/UdK Berlin of the 3DMIN project on “Design, Development and Dissemination of New Musical Instruments”, a collaboration between UdK Berlin and TU Berlin. In his artistic research, Till is interested in mediating and re-contectualising every-day natural phenomena like wind, water current, growth and motion, with the intent to shift the spectators’ experience towards a tilted perspective, often involving listening. His works include “Anemos Sonore” (an instrument to listen to wind, exhibited at Goldsmiths Uni, London), Chip interpretations (sonifying and live-coding of CPUs) and public Beehive concerts (in collaboration with Melliferopolis 2013/2016). As a member of the “Finnish Bioart Society”, he is closely associated to the Finnish bioart scene. Till develops software in and for SuperCollider and runs TAI-studio.org.
