Jonathan Prior, University of Edinburgh
In this presentation, I want to look at the potential for the practice of mediated sound-walking methods – that is a walk that is guided by recorded sound and voice, usually using a personal stereo system and headphones – to creatively disrupt the bodily sense of moving through linear time, as well as spatial place.
Using examples from my own sound-walking practice, as well as by other practitioners, I want explore the potential for creative researchers to use sound-walking as a means for story-telling, as well as a method for the playful détournement of the live (beyond the headphones) acoustic environment, to create new sonic ecologies. Through an exploration of various acoustic techniques, I want to demonstrate that sound-walks offer practitioners and listeners the ability to actively participate in the act of reconstructing, heightening, and even obliterating the psychoacoustic properties of different spaces places, and times, whether in the art gallery to the city street.

Guy van Belle
Born 1959 in Belgium. After studying literature and linguistics, a little philosophy and sculpting, he made a radical switch to computer music at the end of the 1980s. He has been involved in experimental media art in its many different forms since 1990. First, he restlessly lived and worked in Belfast, Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels, New York, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Den Haag, Berlin. His most important virtual organisations (all collective) were Stellingname (1984-1989), Young Farmers Claim Future (1990-2000), dBONANZAh! (1998-2002), and finally mXHz.org (2002-?) and Society of Algorithm (2004-?). These setups were merely covers for collaboratively investigating the many different forms of creativity from real and non-physical people, including machines. His work was mainly synaesthetic, real time generated, abstract, algorithmic, and gradually abandoning the familiar settings, parameters and skills for production, display and reception of the work of art as we know it today. He wrote critico-comical pamphlets about art and technology from an anti-post-modernist anti-neo-liberal background. Like everyone in that field and at that time, throughout his life, he had many money problems, many friends and even more enemies. Between 2005 and 2009 he lived in Bratislava, where he began to work under the name of Gívan Belá. The city does not plan a statue yet. Then he moved to Bubeneč, a quarter of Prague, and lived briefly in “čistirna” an old sewage works. There he started exploring a more ecotechnological approach within the media arts, studied the engineering works of William Heerlein Lindley[1], and wrote his fragmentary ‘denizen epos’ (unpublished). There are many unverified stories. Around 2010, after a short visit to a small village in Bohemia (Hranice), and seeing there an abandoned cow house (kravín), he extended his name to Belá-Kravař. Others maintain it is a mutation of Cravan, the proto-dada artist, which he did not admire. For the 7th of November, 2022, he was preparing an homage to Arseny Avraamov in Baku and for that purpose set up the organisation without a centre ‘The Baku 2022 Foundation’ (2007-?).

Marcus Maeder, Curator ICST, domizil
Marcus Maeder realized his first musical projects mid of the nineties, when the term „digital culture“ was just beginning to gain usage. The setting was the Kombirama, an artists collective and project space in Zurich. It was during this period that he and Bernd Schurer founded the domizil music label. domizil is a platform for recorded music, an occasional concert venue, a loosely connected group of artists, and, as a label, an interface and instrument for reaching the public. The focus of Marcus Maeders work is on computer music and sound art, which he regularly tries to integrate into broader contexts, creating networks and building bridges, either in connection with theatre projects and installations or in his capacity as author and curator.
Bernd Schurer, domizil
Bernd Schurer is an artist who mainly focuses on the work with sound in a variety of contexts. He has realized compositions and audioworks for film, media- and sound installations, as well as for the stage and he has realized one opera score, all of which cover a broad spectrum of distinct aesthethics. His main interest lies in conceiving systems, that are autonomous, interactive or self- contained, trough the use of digital- and computer aided techniques, mostly applying „experimental methods“, as well as a healthy dose of research, „skepticism“ and daydreaming. He often collaborates closely across different media with other artists.His works have been staged internationally and have received some acclaim and rewards.
Alexandre Freire
A Brazilian hacker that recently discovered, in a dream, that he was sent back to the past by future mutant-cyborgs struggling with a melting garbage-dump planet. He’s a citizen of the global village currently constructing one of the last resorts of human
resistance in an isolated beach community in Ilha Bela. This place will act as a base for an emerging global culture of media practitioners, activists, artists, researchers and hackers to re-discover their lost sensibility while sharing knowledge and dwelling into the sciences of living and recycling renewable resources like food, energy, water and time using low-tech and free software. Having worked for many multinational corporations as a computer programmer years ago in many countries like USA, Portugal, Italy and Brasil, he left show bussines about 5 years ago when, joined by a collective of Brazilian collectives like des).(centro, submidialogia, metareciclagem, estúdio livre, midia tática, rádio livre, Arca, contraTV and mimoSa; he helped come up with the concept of Digital Culture that he latter helped implement as a coordinator of the Cultural Hotspots project in the Brazilian Ministry of Culture. Digital Culture is fluid, organic, electronic, grassroots culture that thrives to find ways to explore creativity in new mediums and circuits. It is a notion of organic existence inside binary languages, it is a science and consciousness of a new physics beyond quantic abstractions. It is contemplating the possibility of dealing with worlds of knowledge and direct psychic-geographic exchange permeated by contemporary languages and construction of universes. It is the first step in raising awareness of a Digital Presence.

Maris Boras
‘After realizing that the future hacker is being successfully implemented into the present time, the broadband spectrum from outer space showed that my attendance in first MMKamp has finally gain the dimension of purpose.So there I am taking the same shape that was given to me last year, all in order to make this situation as harmful as possible for the space continuum in question.’
