<p>Dear community,</p>
<p>this is a kind remider to some upcoming events by mur.at - a
multimedia exhibition focused strongly on sound art, and an online
talk by Marta Zapparoli. Feel free to tune in and enjoy, and do
not forget to check the project blog to discover more soundworks
:)<br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
<p>Margarethe (for the project team)<br>

</b><b>Marta Zapparoli - Inaudible, multiple sonic realities and
magnetic matter</b><br>
<br>
The Inaudible is the hidden sonic reality which surrounds us in
everyday life. During the lecture I will introduce the
fascinating inaudible world of electromagnetic radiations from
nature (VLF), and the opposite site of it; radio communication
and electromagnetic fields (EMF)coming from electromagnetic
pollution in cites. These waves are always present and mutable in
place and time and they become the mirror of our society in
constant change. I will talk about my experience during self -
made recordings, and how I transform these electromagnetic
radiations in different sonic forms through compositions, live
performances, and site-specific sound interventions with the use
of analog tape machines, radio receivers, detectors and antennas.
I will discuss about the relation between magnetic matter and the
inaudible in connection with our techno-society . We will dive
between sound art, science, auto-transcendence, multiple sonic
realities, and cosmic imagery.<br>

<p><b>as if they were flowers - a hybrid exhibition</b><br>
<br>
A group of young artists has been dealing with ideas and
technologies related to autonomy and the autonomous self across a
year-long process of collective thinking and working. We tested,
elaborated and remixed texts, ideas and technologies. One initial
impulse was Richard Brautigan's iconic poem "All Watched Over by
Machines of Loving Grace" (1967) which depicts a fragile,
questionable ecosystem of coexistence between human, nature and
technology. This working process resulted in a hybrid exhibition
(both physical and virtual) that we invite you to explore. The
virtual space is accessible via Mozilla hubs, the physical
exhibition is open from 13.-16. July 2021 at Kunstraum Reagenz
Graz.<br>
<br>
The journey started from the question: What is the "autonomous
self", where and how does it exist and how is it shaped and/or
transformed by media? From from analog photography to Snapchat
selfies, from field redordings to radiowaves and speech synthesis,
we use a number of technologies to create, capture and transform
medial fragments and aspects of selves in a loop-based iterative
working process. Transcoding selfies and remixing sounds and
images, we aimed at opening a path towards creating a system of
systems. What possibly appears in this process is an idea of the
autonomous self as part of the ecosystem arising from the dialogue
between technologies and our perceptions of and through them,
questioning individuality and identity-making through media as
much as exploring possibilities of collective intelligence.<br>
