It all started with a simple question: what sound would a laser make if it could speak?

We’re motivated by the desire to build a system where technology isn’t a set of effects, but an instrument for listening and responding to co-create within a living feedback loop.

The piece reverses the usual hierarchy (audio drives visuals) by starting with light as the initiator: Tom generates evolving laser patterns in TouchDesigner, and those visual attributes are translated into control data that produces and shapes sound.

Wawa then processes and transforms that sound in Ableton Live, and the resulting audio features feed back into TouchDesigner to modulate the laser system in return. The performance becomes a real-time dialogue where neither medium is “illustration” for the other.

Second Self is an audiovisual work and a first collaboration between choreographer and performer Nien Tzu Weng and composer and digital artist Myriam Bleau. Through movement, sound and video, the performance explores the object of the screen as tactile interface, prosthesis, mask and mirror.

From 22 to 25 October 2026, SEMIBREVE (SEMIBREVE) returns for its 16th edition across the historic city of Braga (Portugal), with a programme that brings together sound, image and technology.

The Semibreve Award, sponsored by Edigma, celebrates and promotes installation works that explore sound and image, supported by digital technologies.

‘Situational Compliance’ by artist Matthew Biederman (matthewbiederman) has been awarded the EDIGMA SEMIBREVE Award 2026, recognising a trajectory that, since the mid-1990s, has investigated the technological infrastructures operating beneath everyday experience.

From electromagnetic frequencies and communication networks to surveillance and machine learning, Biederman’s practice makes visible systems that often remain abstract, unnoticed or deliberately concealed.

repost Jorge Bandera Cuerpos Invisibles es una propuesta visual para fulldome que dialoga con el repertorio sonoro basado en el Sol, creado por Gladkazuka. La obra explora la relación entre materia, sonido y datos como un sistema vivo, en constante transformación, a partir de la visualización de información del espectro solar y de fenómenos astronómicos.

La propuesta hace parte de Concierto de Órbitas Sonoras, una franja de conciertos y experiencias sensoriales inmersivas en formato fulldome del Planetario de Medellín, Exploratorio de Medellín y Parque Explora. Planetario de Medellín Exploratorio Parque Explora

Gracias a Camilo Cantor Camilo Cantor Andrés Cuartas Andrés Cuartas y Juliana Grisales Juliana Grisales Naranjo | Creadora por abrir este espacio para la creación, la experimentación y el encuentro entre sonido, imagen y astronomía.

Shots of the Positronic showcase at Nxt Museum entrance hall last October, that got selected through the open call.

Positronic is an ongoing series of generative audiovisual artworks exploring the artificial computational brains of the future. These intelligent systems operate and sustain a vast, technologically dependent society that may remain abstract and ultimately incomprehensible. Themes such as dystopia, the sublime, technological singularity, and the anxiety they evoke are central to the series.
