transmediale x CTM | Synthesis 2

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Sister festivals transmediale and CTM come together this year for two shared performance programmes at the Miriam Makeba Auditorium of HKW. Incorporating the latest developments in generative AI, A/V storytelling, and data sonification to explore a conflictual past, present and future, the works offer personal, critical, and speculative reflections on how AI is facilitating new understanding and intimacies with our histories, with the world around us, and with one another?

Hulubalang’s work Bunyi Bunyi Tumbal mourns the marginalised figures of history, echoing the shattered innocence of disrupted rituals and the pain of unacknowledged sacrifices. The solo venture of Kasimyn—producer, DJ, label owner, and one-half of Gabber Modus Operandi—the project whose title roughly translates to Synthetic Feeling for Anonymous Sacrifice is a reflection on the emotions born out of a deep dive into Indonesian war archives.

Unpredictability is ZULI’s playground. From the edges of Cairo’s underground he emerged tearing through genres like a storm, his hard-edged textures and razor-sharp experiments too writhing to pin down. The live A/V performance of his recent album Lambda manifests as an electrifying interplay of tension, texture, and movement. Rooted in the precarious soundworld of the album, ZULI translates its swirling atmospheres and fractured rhythms into a multisensory experience, winding through a liminal space where sound is untethered from rhythm. Flickering unpredictably between chaos and clarity, intimacy and vastness, light and motion are mirrored in a fragmented chalice of guttural drones, ghostly falsettos, and pulverized strings as they twist and collide. With light design by Andre Vanderwert and video material by Tomasz Skibicki and Sander Houtkruijer

This event is included in the transmediale festival pass, CTM festival pass, and connect pass, but not in the transmediale Day passes.
