MORNING SEANCE – Falling without landing

Falling without landing is an audiovisual performance in which the AI technology and human composition confront each other. The visual part of it, produced with the help of an AI tool, is an ever-changing video projection going constantly and endlessly from forms to informal landscapes, from figures to abstract spaces, in ways until nowadays unimaginable. Indeed, an immersive fall without a landing. The audio part must then keep pace with it, merging relentlessly sounds into sounds and settling itself in the interstice of contemporary abstract music and more traditional harmonic structures.

Bernhard Garnicnig (audio) is an artist and researcher working in the interstitial space between institutional forms, cultural industry and artists practices. His dissertation explores the relation between artists and institutions as a site where new conceptualizations of artists practices emerge. He is the founder & former Very Artistic Director of the Palais des Beaux Arts Wien, a historic surface dedicated to the projection of past, present and future alike (est. 2014), the co-founder of the Bregenz Biennale, a cyclical intervention in the continuum of cultural and tourism industries in his hometown (est. 2012) and the co-founder and Director of Supergood, a consulting brand in the ambiguous field between product and performance (est. 2015).

Simone Borghi (video) is originally from Italy and has been living in Vienna for 13 years. He obtained a Master’s degree in Philosophy of Art at the University of Pisa and a Bachelor’s degree in Acousmatic Music Composition at the Conservatoire Royal de Mons. After the publication of his book on music/sound in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze in 2008, he became involved in the Viennese art scene. For his music, he works with various modern methods of sound synthesis, creating it rich in timbres, textures and movements.
