Participants of this themed panel discussion will present their own practices and personal research in the field of sound art and musical experimentation – new interfaces, ways of documenting sound, transformations of non-sonic records into sonic, and expanding the ability of sound stimuli perception. An important component of the panel – apart from authorial poetics – will also be the open code principle and free access to copyright works and knowledge, which are the common thread of this year’s festival.

In the time of the festival, workshops will take place from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., with the final panel commencing at 3 p.m. through 4 p.m., during which the panel’s participants will be addressing the key role of workshopology approaches within contemporary interdisciplinary artistic and pedagogic approaches.

Tomaž Grušovnik: Q:aRt

Ladies of the press

The Q:aRt project serves as the MFRU-KIBLIX preview event, offering information to the general public about the festival’s objectives and content through the means of generated codes, designed to redirect application users to a website which provides information about the festival. Thus, the project is investigating not only the potential of QR codes in informing the public, but also the potential contained in various city locations, spatial points and nodes to serve as informants via QR codes.

Tomaž Grušovnik is a philosopher, publicist and fine artist. He is the author of a scientific monograph entitled “Shades of Green”, a Fulbright grantee, a visiting professor at the University of Oslo and the “Messenger of Science 2012” prize winner.

Panel guests will be discussing the key role of workshops and the workshopology principle inside contemporary interdisciplinary art practices. Workshopology stands for the open code principle of sharing artistic, technical and scientific knowledge on the basis of transdisciplinary workshops, which cleverly interweave aspects of theory and practice. They open new channels for creativity and at the same time enable the public to become a part of processes that used to belong to closed scientific or artistic spheres.

Interdisciplinary approaches / art – science blending the tension between nature and modern-day scientific, technological and artistic achievements. One of the impacts of the fast flow of information is access to hidden scientific research spheres of genetics, synthetic biology, hybrid genetics, medicine, nuclear physics, astrophysics, chemistry, mathematics, as well as building interdisciplinary connections that have begun to actualize in all fields.

In the time of the festival, workshops will take place from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., with the final panel commencing at 3 p.m. through 4 p.m., during which the panel’s participants will be addressing the key role of workshopology approaches within contemporary interdisciplinary artistic and pedagogic approaches.
