ALT SOM LEVER SKAL DØ 

EIRIK HAVNES & LARS OVE FOSSHEIM

Concert, May 18 / Doors open @ 19:30
A project collaboration between JAZZFEST and META.MORF
 

Every living thing will die is a performance that asks, and even attempts to answer, a lot of answerless questions. 

Are we humans still a part of nature, or have we parted and are now looking at nature from the outside, rather trying to manage it? What kind of value is there in all our knowledge about math, philosophy, art and technology? Will there still be any value left in a world without humans to observe it? That world will exist at some point in time. Either in a hundred or a hundred thousand years, there will be a world without us. If humanity, our greed and our cognitive abilities have been developed by evolution, does that imply that letting humans destroy the climate simply will be an act of letting evolutions take its course?

TRØNDELAG SENTER FOR SAMTIDSKUNST 

ECOPHILIA

DISNOVATION.ORG / ANNIKE FLO / THE CENTER FOR GENOMIC GASTRONOMY / AI HASEGAWA / JAKOB KUDSK STEENSEN / STEPHANIE ROTHENBERG / LEENA SAARINEN / THOMAS THWAITES / YANG ZHICHAO

Ecophilia? Think of Ecophilia as our deep desire to connect with nature. But what is nature really? Except for some made up ecological dreamscapes? 

Ecology comes from Greek Oikos, meaning home. Today every aspect of our home is altered by new technologies, man-induced environmental disasters, biotechnological wonders, and blurred borders between the made and the natural. Has our home become alien to us in this age of global ecological transformations? How is ecophilia manifested in the Anthropocene? 

Ecophilia exhibitions take place at three galleries in Trondheim: i) K-U-K – Kjøpmannsgata Ung Kunst, ii) Trøndelag Center for Contemporary Art, and iii) TEKS.studio. These exhibitions investigate strange concepts of nature and all wonderful manifestations of our love for it [...]

The conference investigates what it means to be a real ecophile –a true lover of nature– in our world marked by new technologies, environmental disasters, biotechnological wonders, and blurred borders between the made and the natural.

FAKE SYNTHETIC MUSIC

STINE JANVIN

Concert, May 20 / Doors open @ 19:30
Double concert night
Tickets 240/300 | Buy tickets »

Fake Synthetic Music is a concert performance, an artistic method, a record release and an ongoing exploration of the voice as instrument. Inspired by composers such as Evol, Marcus Schmickler and Maryanne Amacher, Janvin’s interest is aimed towards a physical experience of the architectural and theatrical aspects of sound, light and performance.

The acoustic voice produces simple melodic sequences. A condensed, sinewave-like sound references electronic pop, trance and techno, and the underlying idea is to create a massive physical sound experience from a single mono signal of a human voice. The sound of the voice through the microphone combines with a digital echo so that the direct signal and the digital echo play together. According to Janvin, this creates continuous difference tones that stimulate otoacoustic emissions in the listener. In performance, the entire room is filled with smoke and lit solely by four strobe lights with yellow filters. The light is triggered by the echo effect via MIDI, and the strobes flash in various rhythmic patterns designed and programmed by Morten Joh [...]

SONOTOPIA – A MEMORY OF SHADOWS

GISLE MARTENS MEYER

In an overgrown post-apocalyptic landscape, a cautious figure explores broken detritus, lost media, and memory fragments from the ruins of a familiar civilization. Small sounds, tones, and videos gently flicker and glitch to life among the giant mobile phone tombstones and scattered clusters of dead screens and tablets.

A fragile tonality appears in the unstable memories. A shadow of melody takes shape. From a future mirror echoes the music of everything we lost.

Sonotopia – A Memory of Shadows is an audiovisual real-time live performance and installation. It investigates the atmosphere, sound, and musicality of extinction. The work explores vast ruins and specific memories, in the scope from singular phenomena currently under threat of extinction or abandonment, all the way up to civilizational collapse [...]
