#mur.at

This is a virtual environment filled with floating texts and sonic fragments, a living archive created as virtual exhibition of the group project "autonomous systems" carried out 2021 by Daniele Pozzi, Alyssa Aska, Alisa Kobzar, Pablo Marinas and Margarethe Maierhofer-Lischka. Each room of the virtual exhibition was curated and designed by one artist. Autonomous systems surround us, they are present in "black box" devices or represented in processes of nature, or even in our own bodies. What does autonomy mean and how can we develop a playful approach to engage with it? The group project explored processes of "ecriture automatique" and co-creation in algorithmic art, digital art and music. The virtual exhibition was presented in the XCoAx conference 2021. The project was funded by mur.at - platform for net art Graz. A physical exhibition of the project, presenting other resulting works, was shown in REAGENZ art space Graz in Summer 2021.

The project is created by a group of artists that build eco-sustainable, open source, autonomous hardware agents that are capable of recording, producing and exchanging sound and data. On five locations across Styria, these sound devices will be placed between July and August 2022, creating site-specific sound installations that live though the exchange with their acoustic environment. The sound installations can be listened on site and online (follow the link). Klangnetze is funded by a special grant for digital art in public space by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Culture. Project lead and creative team: David Pirrò, Daniele Pozzi, Luc Döbereiner, Ina Thomann, Veronika Mayer, Hanns-Holger Rutz, Margarethe Maierhofer-Lischka
