Resonating bodies follows the idea, that everything that resonates; vibrations that can engage in a dialog. In this episode Flipchart links turbulence to natural sounds, while asking the question of what “natural” actually means. Through intimacy, water and a multitude of other means this evening searches for affect and resonance.

Lineup:
Stelios Manousakis
Tijs Ham
Gemma Luz Bosch
Albert Rask
Pedro Latas

Flipchart is an event series mixing lectures and performances, a cabinet of curiosities where transitions are fast but the pages are infinite. The series offers a stage for experiments in the field of Art, Science & Technology, where making meets thinking. Visitors are presented with a snapshot on the creative process of artists and researchers within and around iii’s community. 

Stelios Manousakis:
Stelios Manousakis (NL/GR) is an artist exploring relationships between time, space, body, system and sound. His work is particularly concerned with the invisible and the ephemeral, and with dynamically shaping sensation, perception and experience. His practice lies in the convergence of music, art, philosophy, science and engineering; it extends from performances, to environments and interactive installations, compositions, fixed media, and music for dance and film. His work most often involves software that he develops, merging algorithmic finesse with the immediacy of audience participation, or the expressiveness of improvisation. Stelios has shown work in five continents, in varied venues & festivals such as ZKM, Museum Reina Sofia, Seattle Art Museum, dOCUMENTA, IDFA, Rewire, Audio Art, The Place, Athens Digital Arts Festival, November Music, ICMC, and NIME. Besides his solo work, he has co-founded several music and multimedia groups and, together with duo partner Stephanie Pan, is the founding co-director, co-curator and technical director of Modern Body Festival and Modulus Foundation.

Tijs Ham:
Tijs Ham is a musician and sound artist with a background in visual arts and is the co-founder of the ‘Soundlings Collective’ and has worked for the STEIM foundation as an artist, organizer as well as a member of their artistic board. In his artworks he applies programming, live-electronics techniques and system design to explore and expand the possibilities of audible expression. Inspired by artificial intelligence, chaos, evolutionary processes and machine learning he incorporates similar approaches in order to create dynamic structures and experiment with their aesthetic results.
Tijs Ham is currently a PhD candidate for Artistic Research at the University of Bergen (UiB), Norway.

Gemma Luz Bosch:
Gemma Luz Bosch is a pianist, composer and improviser. In her performances she creates live soundscapes using her self-made ceramic instruments, musical objects and prepared piano pieces. She invites the audience to consider the relationship between sound and music by investigating and using sounds that aren’t normally used in music creation.

Albert Rask:
Albert Rask has for the past couple of years been researching when machines become living, human mechanical, and the interaction between perceiving conscious and unconscious. His works have been shown at institutions such as Stedelijk, Eye, and STEiM.

Pedro Latas:
Pedro (he/him) is a multimedia artist, composer and sound artist born in 1998, Évora, Portugal. His work delves into the analysis of human behaviour through the prism of Networks, the Internet and how people relate with each other through computer screens and technology in a general sense. His creative output focuses thus mostly on the creation of electroacoustic/computer assisted performances. These performances invite the audience to reflect upon ideas based on the interaction between a person or a group of people and the digital realm. In a way it all comes down to questioning human embodiment through the prism of digital media. How does the physical human body and its inherent identity politics (a topic of great importance since Pedro identifies as Queer) perform themselves through a machine? How can the body be augmented through the use of technology to overcome the fragilities and limitations of the organic fleshy vessel? Trans-humanist thought, internet linguistics, post-digitalism and post-internet art are some sources of inspiration for his work.

About the facilitator:
Leon Lapa Pereira is performance researcher and community program facilitator for iii. In his facilitating role he tries to merge making and thinking with an intergenerational environment. In his own practice he develops experienceable ecologies between humans and “the vegetable Other”. Through anthropomorphising methods, relational worlds, biological and evolutionary processes are translated into kinetic installations, robotic agents and performances.

Flipchart #2 is presented by iii with financial support from Creative Industries Fund NL and The Municipality of The Hague.
