Coven Intelligence
2021-10-01 23:00 - 23:45, 2021-09-30 17:00 - 17:45 (Europe/Berlin)
An audio introduction to Coven Intelligence Program’s installation at Pixelache, visual and interactive materials that speak to the entangled STAKES of climate change, racial, heteropatriarchal capitalism, and conceptions of intelligence.
“Our InsurgentEcologies Archive is an open digital archive profiling the companies, technologies, crops, locations and labor bound up in precision agriculture. The InsurgentEcologies Archive operates as a guiding compass for revolutionary interventions into technocapitalist agricultural systems.
Our SpellWeaver application converts spells into weaving patterns and underground forest networks (rhizomes). SpellWeaver enables a different history of computation — linking textile production, plant networks, witches and automated computation.
In our film, What Plant to Teach Ethics to AI a range of herbalists, witches, shamans, and ethnobotanists answer this question in order to address how AgTech is harvesting massive amounts of data on plants. How do we complexify what is being collected? How do we create data that challenges the perception of plants as isolated bodies and resources?”
This project is supported by Colgate University, NY state.
The Coven Intelligence Program (efrén cruz cortés, Margaretha Haughwout, Suzanne Husky) is a techno-botanical coven whose science-fictional mission is to encourage emerging revolutionary ecologies of work between witches, plants and machines through the centuries. We track connections between the persecution of witches burned at the stake, the destruction of multi-species commons, and the rise of racial, patriarchal capitalism. The Coven Intelligence Program’s speculative history is broken into three conceptual categories — Signs: naturalcultural formations displayed in early modernity, leading to Prophecies: by witches and other anti -capitalists, that catalyze Spells: for future alliances between witches, plants and machines. We reach backward and forward in time, to early enclosure movements and European colonization, while imagining livable food forest futures where machines support plant communities and resistance networks rather than exploiting them for corporate profit.

Estonian Academy of Arts Selection
2021-10-01 17:00 - 18:30, 2021-09-30 11:00 - 12:30 (Europe/Helsinki)
New audio works from students of the Estonian Academy of Arts curated by John Grzinich. The New Media department of the Estonian Academy of Arts encourages all forms of sonic exploration and it shows in the diversity of engaging works developed by the students. Included here are works created for a Masters Thesis, live stage performance, interactive installation and electronic music composition.

Aron Tihanyi “Acouasm”, electronic music composition.

Inga Salurand “Sõnad” and “Sensory Recordings Mixdown”, audio works for a cassette based interactive installation, presented at the end of Autumn semester 2020.

Katrin Enni, Jaanika Arum, Helen Västrik “Live at NU Performance Kanuti Gildi Saal, December 2020”, documentation of a live collaborative sound performance.

Sarah Elizabeth Johnston “Encounters”, Stereo mix of a 6 channel MA thesis installation work. ENCOUNTERS Is a collection of experienced moments that explores what emerges from being engaged with personal memories; the encounter is a recollection of an experience of driving on a remote deserted road and encountering a strange light the local Aboriginals call Min Min (believed to be the spirit of elders that perished at the hands of the first settlers). This is seamlessly followed by an encounter with a Shaman and a near death experience of falling off a waterfall. All descriptions are based on memories of encounters when the body is shocked into fear of the unknown and into the sense of freedom in understanding that there are some things beyond our own understanding that in turn make the understanding of our worlds greater.

The Great Offshore - Radio performance
2021-10-01 11:20 - 12:20 (Europe/Helsinki)
RYBN.org presents a live radio performance based on their project The Great Offshore.
The Great Offshore is a long-term artistic research project aiming to highlight the inner mechanisms, networks and agents of offshore finance, and how they shape new kinds of extra-territorialities beyond legislation. The project studies the recent manifestations of offshore within the processes of financialisation of art, citizenship, outer space, waste externalisation, climate change unregulation, etc. Ultimately, the research is an attempt to understand how offshore has grown and spread from its primary form of tax havens to become the new economic norm of globalisation.
The radio performance at Pixelache Burn is based on various sonic layers of fractal dimensions: it mixes a proxified audio hunt for the financial spectres haunting Helsinki city center and Oodi’s neighborhood, a poetic dérive within the terra incognita of offshore territories, and a systematic deconstruction of the abstract schemes that lies at the core of offshore capitalism.
With the participation of Jean-François Blanquet and Tuukka Haapakorpi.

Burn_Slow: Nordic-Baltic Sound and Radio Art for Mental Well-being
2021-10-01 05:00 - 07:00, 2021-09-30 23:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
“Burn_Slow: Nordic-Baltic Sound and Radio Art for Mental Well-being” is an international audio art project which unites sound artists and art students from Nordic-Baltic region exploring mental ecology in times of crisis and social seclusion, via online lectures, skill-sharing, discussion and innovative networked audio performances. Invited artists during the course of 2 days will share their artistic practice, methodologies, skills in the context of challenges of today: Krista Dintere (LV) – on time and listening methods in sound art for slowing down; Maija Demitere (LV) – on Slow media art and issues of sustainability; Ieva Vīksne (LV) – of dealing with depression by realtime mental activity driven audio meditation; Jacob Remin (DK) – a sound meditation on loss of control and algorithmic agency; John Grzinich (EE) – on remoteness and telematic sharing possibilities to raise awareness of ecology; Mantautas Krukauskas (LT) – on innovations of spatialized sound; Derek Holzer (SE) – on speculative design of historically informed electronic instruments.

Playlist contains following works:

Burn _Slow – Intro
Jacob Remin – To soothe the body electric is a sound meditation on the loss of control and algorithmic agency. A remake of a poem by Walt Whitman.
John Grzinich – Tangible futures unheard01 is inspired by concepts of remoteness and telematic sharing possibilities that raise awareness of ecology.
Mantautas Krukauskas – LAMENT
Krista Dintere – Reflections focus on how listening to music and sounds in the environment changes our perception of time.
Ieva Viksne – MAD AMFH is a recording of performance on dealing with depression by realtime mental activity driven audio meditation.
Burn_Slow – Open Call intro
Evija Vebere – pirma pasaule The idea behind the piece ”Pirmā pasaule” was to create an organic, evolving space of sound where the listener can tune in and become more present by focusing their attention on what’s happening while simultaneously letting their imagination take over.
Sarah Elizabeth Johnston – ENCOUNTERS is her master’s thesis sound piece
Andrejs Poikans – fTM At its core is a practice of revisiting recorded soundscapes and their corresponding imaginary geographies, which get more abstracted with the breakdown of memory in time, thus every reworking of them is an experience of confronting vividness and feebleness. This time it’s a revisiting of a trip to Nida, Lithuania in September, 2019, where I collected field recordings and notes in the process of hiking across the Curonian Spit. It is an homage to Thomas Mann and his work “The Magic Mountain” who taught me how to think about extended periods of time. Mann’s had a cottage on the Curonian Spit in the 1930’s.
Ivo Taurins – DAB+ Since the 1990’s the FM analog broadcasting has dominated listener radio devices. The analog world is gradually beginning to be replaced by digital, providing unprecedented new opportunities. In this composition, the author shows this transformation from the analog world to the digital. The analog world remains vague and difficult to hear, but the new digital sound is crystal clear. As a matter of fact, the author leaves it to the listener to decide.
Spare Vitola – Vieglakam miegam_For better sleep A composition of violin, electronic instruments and nature sounds. The interaction of clear and high pitches and low, turbulent sound creates a piece that helps the listener to find grounding.
Milda Ziemane – faux BIM IN (m)E 2 is an imaginary sonic world of mysterious creatures created by means of voice recordings and postprocessing.
Elza Ziverte – Celojums uz OMmmmmm zemi is at a time when the virus is raging in the world and borders are closed, the author has apocalyptic feelings. The world seems so loud and there is a desire to escape, albeit for a short time, and return to a more orderly, peaceful environment. The work reflects moments of life that have not been completely clear in the mind and, turning to the depths of one’s mind, the feelings lead to the author’s sensory adventures. The journey is not always fun and enjoyable, it can be dark and frightening, but when the time comes, you have to face your fears and worries about the unknown. The sound composition is based on the Musique concrète. The author of the work made 50 different sound recordings.
Diana Lelis – META MODERN COUNshitNESS a hommage to the metamodern state of life.
Toms Krauklis – tepat in latvian it means “right here” it’s a composition was born from a single riff. Looping feels ecological.
“tepat” is about being aware of both your surroundings and inner creativity. About the Anthropocene effect on the artist and vice versa.
Agita Reke – IN is on the different stages of understanding the ‘’inside’’. Thoughts running around, tickle and scare you. Thoughts that gnaw you and soothe you. In the end it is about trusting your instincts and your inner self. Finding your own inner animal. Being the self.
Inga Salurand – S6nad a sensory sound piece created with voice.
Ella-Mai Matsina – Rustle of the mind This piece marks the journey to finding freedom in the confines of the city, a place with little nature and wilderness. It also tells about being present, the importance of living in the moment. During the lockdown time flowed differently, days passed but it was all kind of foggy. Moments like the one depicted in this piece helped me stay in touch with the world. Listening to the little mysterious sounds of life, my mind was clear again.
Nejausi – Dialogi at MPLab LIVE recording of electronic set of LV experimental music duo Nejausi.
Glociks – ReIntermission takes its base from audio installation “Intermission” (exhibited in solo exhibiton “Reference Metadata” at RIXC gallery, Rīga, Latvia, 2019), which consisted of AI-generated 10 hour audio loop, trained upon a small database of audio taken from latvian tv advertisements. The composition of “Reintermission” bases on 8 notch filters, filtering random frequencies, slowly becoming less impactful, in the end revealing the full spectrum of frequencies. Both Intermission and Reintermission takes inspiration of current seemingly normalised oversaturation of advertisiments.
MakeMake – Dream Machine Our idea for the track Dream Machine originally came the day after a rather intense studio session. While we usually make tracks with beats but after the session and a walk in a forest the next day we could only produce something that is beatless. It somehow captured the feeling of burning out and letting go.
Waterflower – Mushroom-Generated Music Project 002 This audio-visual piece is actually inspired by an amalgamation of all the artist talks that took place during the opening Zoom meeting. There is a little bit of everything there – the impossible instrument, using generative-data to play sound, the mycelium as if a neural network, the the pink oyster mushrooms seen growing in the background during another presentation, and a more selective perception toward the sounds around. This fits hand-in hand with my interest in the audio characteristics of non-music objects.

Living Musically
2021-09-30 05:00 - 06:05 (Europe/Helsinki)
What role does music play in our lives? Can music teach us something about how to live? Dr Tom Cochrane and Faisal Gill discuss how musical improvisation gives us a model of freedom that we can recreate in everyday life. Of particular importance is the idea of working with what we have to hand, rather than imposing a sense of how things are supposed to be. This idea is applied to the use of one’s emotions in a generative way.
