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.

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.

Z. Blace with Rebecca O’Neill and Wikimedians on wikiWikiWebs – What was /%/ would be burned ?!.

After 20 years of the Wikipedia project,
CreativeCommons and others in digital publishing
(like MIT OpenCourseWare, Drupal...),
but maybe also 30 years of GNU/Linux…
...what could be reflection/perspectives
on digital commons from 20 years ago,
NOW and for moving 10 years forward…
...what was there to BURN (if not forget)
and what is burning (diminishing)…

...in order to make media-tech fields more socially and culturally
informed and inspirational beyond paradigms of consumption
(not only of products, but also services and volunteer labor).

MOST BASIC BIOGRAPHICAL TEXT: Z. Blace and Rebecca O'Neill are Wikimedians engaged with multiple projects that are related to open media content, open knowledge and cultural practices, with concerns over the relations of modalities, scales, resources and sustainability.
