Laurent Güdel (1984) is a swiss intermedia artist and musician. Listening complexity is the focus of his work. The auditory exploration in his works is achieved through collaborative and transdisciplinary practice. His medium and approaches vary depending on the collaborations, which combine the disciplines of typography, anthropology and history. His mediums include installations, videos, live performances, audio or print publications and multi-channel compositions and diffusions.
He was awarded a six-month residency grant in Brussels which allowed for a development of a project that lead him to EMS Studio in Stockholm, Radio Belgrade, KSYME (contemporary music research center in Athens) and Willem Twee studio in the Netherlands. While there, he’s examining the evolution and the footprint of the electroacoustic music studios in current musical practices. At the same time, he will be to working on his first full-length solo album, making use of Serge, Buchla, ARP 2500 and EMS Synthi 100 synthesizer systems. Drawing on archival materials and found artifacts his projects create sonic and visual maps through a combination of design, recording, amplification, and electronic synthesis. He strives for a tension and contrast by combining raw sources with a minimal aesthetic and plays with the confusion between contexts, media, and the constant feedback between recording and listening. Over the past couple of years, he collaborated extensively with an artist, an anthropologist, and a beekeeper Aladin Borioli. Their project “Hiss” - a film without images about the interspecies relations between bees and humans - was presented at the Festival de la Cité in Lausanne, CTM Festival in Berlin, Anthropologies Numériques in Paris, and Le 18 in Marrakesh. In addition, he took part in Documenta14, was exhibited at the Nidwaldner Kunstmuseum, and was included at the 2018 Shenzhen biennale of animation. In 2018, he was also commissioned by the Lausanne Underground Film Festival to produce a film about the interwar history of former anarchists in Geneva. |

Ο Ἠμισυ (Παναγιώτης Βλαχάκης) γεννήθηκε στις 24 Μαρτίου 1987. Μεγάλωσε στην πόλη των Χανίων στην Κρήτη, μια μικρή πόλη με ιδιαίτερη Πολιτιστική ποικιλία. Μετά το λύκειο το 2008, σπούδασε Μηχανικός ήχου. Εργάστηκε για πολλά χρόνια ως μηχανικός ήχου και φώτων σε φεστιβάλ, από όπου ανέπτυξε για πρώτη φορά πάθος για τις παραστάσεις. Από την άλλη πλευρά, κατά τη διάρκεια αυτής της περιόδου, δημιούργησε μια συλλογικότητα με φίλους του διερευνώντας τις δυνατότητες του rave ηλεκτρονικού πολιτισμού οργανώνοντας φεστιβάλ και παίζοντας ως DJ, ηλεκτρονική μουσική για 10 χρόνια. Χρησιμοποιώντας χειροποίητα από αυτόν, Serge modular synthesizers και ένα Buchla Music Easel για να συλλάβει και να εκφράσει τη στιγμή με έναν δυστοπικό και φουτουριστικό τρόπο, η τέχνη του μιλάει χρησιμοποιεί ποικίλα και αυθόρμητα θέματα, από βαριές ηλεκτρονικές υφές μέχρι ρυθμικά μοτίβα. Η αυτοσχέδιες ζωντανές παραστάσεις του μιλάνε για το πώς παρακολουθούμε τη στιγμή και για το πώς αντιδράμε σε αυτή τη βροχή των πληροφοριών που εκτίθενται οι αισθήσεις μας.
