Arkade

The culmination of the under [my] control market day at Arkade is an oversized round-table at which 20 experts in various disciplines will gather for an alfresco public discussion. Their topic: whether there are technologies that can protect us from excessive media consumption, or whether other strategies are needed to deal with changed media usage patterns.

Sober Assessment

In going about this, there’s place neither for panicky scaremongering nor glorification of high-tech possibilities. What this calls for are dispassionate scrutiny and an objective appraisal of whether a danger even exists. If that’s indeed the case, then this panel will deliver practical solutions for use in everyday life—for instance, an app that enables families to see how much time a youngster is actually spending online as a step towards establishing mutually agreed-upon limits.

Panelists: Jörg Hofstätter (Ovos / AT), Clemens Kaltenberger (Red Cross / AT), Dominik Koller (u19 / AT), Dominik Landwehr (cultural event producer – pop and new media / CH), Markus Luger (Otelo / AT), Gerhard Nussbaum (Kompetenznetzwerk KI-I/ AT), Michael Seemann (author / DE), Daniel Seitz (mediale pfade / DE), David Witzeneder (Neront / AT), et al.

Video installation

As is evident from the title, this symphony was composed as a homage to Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki.
Gorecki’s 3rd symphony adds a soprano voice to slow orchestral music while my slow symphony removes a soprano voice from my song cycle I sonetti lussuriosi for soprano and orchestra (2007) and redisposes the vocal part orchestrally.
The texts were taken from a collection of erotic poetry by Pietro Aretino (1492-1556) and I found it curious that Gorecki was happy to have his music, even the ‘sacred’ 3rd symphony, used as film scores – as long as it was not used in sex scenes. As a film composer myself, working with Peter Greenaway, Patrice Leconte, Neil Jordan and Jane Campion, amongst others, it was always a certainty that my music would ONLY be used in sex scenes!
I first met Gorecki at the Warsaw Autumn Festival in 1985, after he heard the Arditti Quartet perform my String Quartet No.1. I gave him a copy of my most recently-released album – The Kiss and Other Movements – and some weeks later he wrote asking me to send him the score of The Kiss. What he did with it I do not know but in the 38 years I have been writing music, he is the only composer who has ever had the curiosity to want to look at my scores.
My film The Art of Fugue which consists of a single 28 minute sequence shot in May 2012 in Plaza Luis Cabrera, a square near my house in Colonia Roma, Mexico City, will be screened simultaneously with the symphony.

Domplatz

Planets is a participatory performance that explores relationships between people, places and objects through a fusion of dance and interactive art practice. Each performance features a cluster of illuminated spheres as the catalyst, leading to a public spectacle of light that transforms and ripples across urban landscapes.

Stars with a personality

A cluster of interactive orbs named stars act as anchors, connecting the participants and performer. Each star has a unique personality and responds to participants through touch and light interaction. Throughout the performance an unspoken dialogue begins to unfold as the stars, participants and dancer connect to transform the space around them.
