- The residency will serve to
develop new writing towards the realisation of a new musical
performance for body technologies to be premiered at Spectrum, NYC, this October.
MAAJAAM is a project space in an old farm in Estonian countryside where art meets technology. Substituting the urban environment with a hilly rural landscape allows us to observe technology in it’s pure form and analyze it’s connections to us and the nature.
- One-day tour playing electro-acoustic and biophysical music across several abandoned villages in the Estonian countryside.
Expect some modular and visceral sounds resonating crackling walls:

Audience, curators and artists travel together on a bus throughout a whole day of sound, silence, ghost houses and unexpected acoustics. Those villages are considered as null pointers; those points existing on maps and in cultural memory but which have lost the objects being refered to. Participating artists excavate embedded meanings in these culturally changing environments and search for intersections of traditional and contemporary cultural practices.
