Ecologies of Sound: Soundscape Composition as an Artistic Practice
The series of workshops Ecologies of Sound: Soundscape Composition as an Artistic Practice invites artists from any medium and practice to explore acoustic ecology, soundscape theory, and soundscape composition. The workshops are part of Dimitris Savva’s postdoctoral research, “Cyprus Forest Soundscapes and Acoustic Ecology,” which explores and documents significant forest…
The series of workshops Ecologies of Sound: Soundscape Composition as an Artistic Practice invites artists from any medium and practice to explore acoustic ecology, soundscape theory, and soundscape composition. The workshops are part of Dimitris Savva’s postdoctoral research, “Cyprus Forest Soundscapes and Acoustic Ecology,” which explores and documents significant forest soundscapes in Ethniko Dasos Troodous. This research involves creating an audio archive, and through seminars, soundwalks, and workshops utilizing this archive, aims to raise awareness of acoustic ecology among art practitioners and the general public in Cyprus.

In a rapidly changing world ever causing insecurity and anguish for the future, Schläfli symbol {5,3} is intended as a state of absolute predictability. A repetitive light and sound pattern aim at locking the viewer within a safe bubble where feelings of surprise and uncertainty have no place. Is this truly something to seek and […]

Cosmic Traces is a series of data-driven sculptures generated from numerical datasets that NASA satellites had collected through the detection of radio emissions of various astronomical natural phenomena. The data sculptures were created through computational data transformation techniques and digital modelling and fabrication. Data were provided by the Center for…

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Fabrique (île de Nantes, FR) 10 artists/hackers from 4 different research labs –MADLab (Limassol CY), Piksel (Bergen NO), STWST (Linz, AT), Apo33 (Nantes, FR)– at the intersection of intermedia arts, DIY, DIWO, and mediactivism come together to realise a unique improvised 2hour long multimedia performance.
Together, they interpret the media and the networks on the current situation of the world and intervene as a research group employing audio, image, language, light, installation, objects, calligraphy, and their own bodies. A series of contingent semi-improvised orchestrated performance acts surfaced at this first event.

The project was inspired by Donna Haraway’s text ”A Cyborg Manifesto” (1985). Following Haraway’s argument for how the postmodern body is slowly but surely turning into a “hybrid of machine and organism, a creation of social reality and fiction”, the project develops a series of 3D digital forms produced from points of the same of […]
Storytelling
Poe’s Tree
16.03.21
This artwork is inspired by the short story "The Gold-Bug" by Edgar Alan Poe. The story follows William Legrand, his servant Jupiter and an unnamed narrator on their quest to uncover a buried treasure. Poe took advantage of the popularity of cryptography as he was writing the "The Gold-Bug" and his story revolves around the team trying to solve a cipher. The characters in the story follow a simple substitution cipher to decode a message that eventually leads them to the treasure. With this project, the aim was to re-encode the decrypted text into a digital form and turn it…
