Swamp Variations - Part II - Evolution (((AMBIENT SPACE VERSION )))

Provided with different backgrounds, Francesca Giuliani and Lino Mocerino have a natural interest in the intersection of Art, Technology and Science. Their procedural semiotic ground aims to prime processes across different media and languages, so that the system’s inner entropy sparks into new emerging properties.

While they enjoy to experiment with creative technology, their UI are mentioned by the University of Plymouth, their AV works appear across various festivals like Surfaces, back_up, ADAF and, under the mark of project-based research, they are both into EU awarded networks and italian MiBACT participatory designs.

Markus J. Buehler is the McAfee Professor of Engineering at MIT, and a composer of experimental, classical and electronic music, with an interest in sonification. Using an approach termed "materiomusic", his artistic work explores the creation of new forms of musical expression - such as those derived from biological materials and living systems - as a means to better understand the underlying science and mathematics. One of his goals is to use musical and sound design as a novel and abstract way to model, optimize and create new forms of matter from the bottom up, and to assess cross-system design relationships. He is also interested in research to explore relationships between classical music, mathematics, and the physical and biological sciences, an in the mapping of models of consciousness across systems. In recent work he has developed a new framework to compose music based on proteins – the basic molecules of all life, as well as other physical phenomena such as fracturing, to explore similarities and differences across species, scales and between philosophical and physical models.
