IN OUR CHAPTER II WE ARE GOING TO
PRESENT U THE APPROACH OF CONNECTING
YOUNG AMBITIOUS MUSICAL ARTISTS
WITH VISUAL ARTISTS.
WE ARE TRYING TO USE OUR PLATFORM
TO OVERLAP COMMUNITIES AND PRODUCE A
COMPOSITION WHICH U MIGHT CAN RELATE
TO.


FOR OUR 13TH COMPOSITION WE INVITE

VIVI. S
"Vivien Flavia Maria Sorrentino is an interdisciplinary artist and designer from Berlin, currently studying in Weimar. In her design and artistic practice, she focuses on the translation and materialization of progressive (typo-)graphic forms, pursuing conceptual, experimental, and material-based approaches. Her most recent work involves the critical analysis of the romanticization and institutionalization of cultural (transitional) rites, and the empowering appropriation and reinterpretation of these. She examines Western wedding traditions, such as the white wedding, and the role of the bride within them. As a historical parament anchored in Christian ceremonies, the medium of wax expresses transformation, transition, and change."

GRAINN.
"grainn is a composer, sound designer and audio-visual artist from Stuttgart, Germany. Combining influences ranging from the beginnings of computer music to his love for sound system culture and generative art, the young musician creates a dynamic DJ set full of texture and movement."

LDS.
Our local hero LDS is playing a selection of his favourite ambient music together with his son Adam.
 
Kristin Jakubek.
"Currents is a 20-minute looping video piece accompanying a live DJ set by LDS, created for the collectives X hoch X and Augmented Research. The piece plunges viewers into a continuous visual journey through a dreamlike, subaquatic world—where the viewer drifts seamlessly from one aquarium to another.
Integrating AI-driven video and image generation techniques, the artist stitches together long sequences of filmed underwater footage with algorithmically generated transitions. The result is a meditative sequence of submerged environments—green-tinged algae tanks, murky aquatic chamber vistas, and fish-filled expanses—blurring the boundary between the real and the artificial.
The work eschews traditional narrative structures and hard cuts in favour of continuous, fluid transitions. These flowing narrative structure echo the transient nature of water itself and point to new possibilities for storytelling—ambient, immersive and in constant transformation. Through this fluid choreography of visuals, Currents proposes an alternative mode of guiding audience attention: not through directive edits, but through suggestion, motion, and atmosphere. 
This piece reflects the artist's ongoing exploration of how AI can be used not just as a generative tool, but as a method for rethinking narrative continuity, perceptual immersion, and the construction of visual rhythm."

SCOPED.
"Scoped creates an immersive listening experience that explores the evolution of our sonic environment from ancient times to a fictional future. Through organic soundscapes and experimental structures, he makes audible how our acoustic perception continuously shifts and adapts to new surroundings."

GRAINN.
"In seiner Performance erforscht grainn die Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Audio- und kamerareaktive Signale, Live-Coding und -Patching sowie verschiedene Algorithmen generieren in Echtzeit Daten, die er in Max/Jitter skaliert und in visuelle Ebenen übersetzt. Die so entstehenden Bilder ergänzen, erweitern und untermalen das Live-Set von Scoped"
