3D audio concert der Reihe swim (spatial works and immersive music) march 11.
With the series swim (Spatial Works and Immersive Music), ZiMMT presents concerts and installations by 16 local and international artists who use sound in space in very different artistic-research ways. In three-day microresidencies they can try out new approaches and develop their concerts and sound installations with 3D audio technology. All concerts will be streamed live in high quality with binaural audio - for an expansive experience, on location and everywhere.
Viola Yip is a composer, performer, sound artist and instrument maker. She invents new instruments that explore the complex and dynamic relationships between media, materiality, musical bodies, and space through electricity and electronics, bringing a new physicality to electronic music.
Her recent performances have included. at the Hong Kong Arts Center, UC Berkeley's Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT), Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), Issue Project Room (NYC), Art Club of Chicago, Cycling '74 Expo, University of Huddersfield, Sonic Arts Research Center at Queen's University Belfast, QO-2 (Brussels), Kunsthochschule für Mediem Köln, Kunst-Station Sankt Peter Köln, Radialsystem Berlin, Pinakothek der Moderne (Munich) and Zentrum für Kunst und Medien (ZKM) in Karlsruhe.
She recently received an honorable mention at the 2021 Giga-Hertz Prize at the ZKM in Karlsruhe. She was also a fellow of the Künstlerhaus Villa Waldberta grant in Munich and the residency at the Studios for Electroacoustic Music of the Academy of Arts in Berlin.
Michael Akstaller (born 1992) studied fine arts, media theory, and engineering. In 2017, together with Jan St. Werner, he initiated the Class for Dynamic Acoustic Research at AdBK Nuremberg, which has been operating as an independent collective since 2021.
He has worked with Alexandra Pirici (Terraform, 2020), Ulrike Ottinger's (Cosmos Ottinger 2021) , Mouse on Mars (2021) and was part of the 6th Ural Biennale, Nature and State (Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden) and Spatial Jitter (Kunstbau in Munich).
In his artistic work Michael Akstaller deals with relationships between sound, space, perception and movement. He researches methods for expanding spatial perception via directional sound sources and sound propagation in flowing waters.
Through his interdisciplinary and collective collaborations with artists and scientists of various disciplines, he has developed independent curatorial formats, such as the residency "Raststätte Frankenwald", or the artist-in-residency "Sometimes you just have to give it your attention...." in which non-European sound researchers deal with the cultural heritage of National Socialist Germany.
