Symbiosis, resonance, and mattering

In this second edition of MAGICS Talks we will encounter three perspectives on how technology shapes, unsettles, and expands artistic practice. Our speakers, Hanna Pajala-Assefa, Jan Schacher and Vincent Roumagnac explore the entanglements between humans, machines and environments.

From performative practice featuring systems that have autonomy in decision-making, to the emergence of resonant, community-driven performances through digital choreography and emergent performance with digital systems, to techno-ecodramaturgical practices that stage other-than-human and biospheric agencies as co-performers and reimagine theatre as an ecological milieu that problematizes categories of nature and artifice.

This edition invites us to reflect on how artists navigate and reshape aesthetic and ethical landscapes through technological entanglement.

The event is moderated by Nitin Sawhney, visiting researcher at the University of the Arts Research Institute. 

The event will be streamed and a recording will be made available afterwards.
