TodaysArt 2017

For its 13th edition, TodaysArt 2017 seeks to embrace the opaque and complex nature of algorithmic systems, delving into the deep sea of noise and bringing this often incomprehensible sphere into critical engagement with the public.

TodaysArt highlights

Here are some highlights of TodaysArt that you definitely shouldn’t miss:

  • Dissense, a new solo performance where bodily functions, heartbeats, brain activity, skin conductivity, and muscle contraction are translated into an immersive sound and light show.
  • Force Field, a performance / installation where acoustically levitated water droplets resonate, vaporise and reassemble into interesting shapes.
  • Happy or Not, a series of wall pieces that invites the viewer to leave emotional feedback on their experience, which is mashed up with other data in a video-installation.
  • Predictive Art Bot, a computer that explores ideas around AI and creativity in relation to art, using algorithms.
  • Technoflesh, a design investigating personal data and the representation of the human body in virtual space with a commissioned multi-screen installation.
  • Greenscreen, a performance-intervention by Aram Bartholl in the public space, where random passers by are ‘caught’ in a portable green screen, unknowingly becoming actors of a fictive film-set.
  • I Dance Alone, a film piece which investigates clubbing as an organism using bird’s eye view documentation.

Context Programme

This year the festival is accompanied by an extensive ‘Context Programme’ presenting panels, workshops, project presentations and talks that engage with central questions on algorithmic complexity, ethics, blockchain technology, new democracies and the future of music.

  • Paul Feigelfeld - computer scientist, professor and writer
  • Geert Lovink - professor of interactive media and director of the Institute of Network Cultures
  • Renata Avila - human rights lawyer and digital rights advocate
