  How does one spontaneously move to a source of sound coming from a fountain that is no longer gushing? What memories and what signs does this condition detect and recall? Can a fountain that was once a magnet of social interaction change the dynamics of the space when the medium of attraction changes? Through the Pure Data programming environment an autonomous algorithmic instrument (patch) was created which is simultaneously open to external sound interactions. At its core is a noise oscillator that is passed through a band-pass filter to simulate water droplets. The installation is based on two wireless speakers and two wireless microphones in the basement of the source.  More:  ichorous

Anestis Logothetis

Anestis was  born in Bulgaria of Greek parents and moved to Tessaloniki in1934. He became influenced by modern composers such as  John Cage ,  Earle Brown , and  Bruno Maderna .

Cage is famous not only for his radical works, like  4'33"  (1952), in which the ambient noise of the recital hall created the music, but also for his innovative collaborations with artists like Merce Cunningham and Robert Rauschenberg.  These partnerships helped break down the divisions between the various realms of art production, such as music, performance, painting, and dance, allowing for new interdisciplinary work to be produced. Cage's influence ushered in groundbreaking stylistic developments key to contemporary art and paved the way for the postmodern artistic inquiries, which began in the late 1960s and further ...
