Holden Chapel

Transsonic is an experimental transmedia duo that creates immersive site-specific performances and installations bridging the vibrations of light and sound through technology. The duo investigates the ontology of music beyond sound and the possibilities of transmedial listening. 

In “Fluid Ontologies”, Transsonic continues to expand their intermedial artistic practice in performances. For this project, they develop their laser feedback instruments, using lasers as sound sources and solar panel microphones, as well as a musical agent system that uses machine learning for interaction and latent timbre spaces. With the incorporation of multichannel spatialization, Transsonic extends the spatial dimensions, sonically and visually, creating a unique audiovisual experience. The project explores and defines new concepts of the instrumentality of light in audio circuits, putting space, bodies and instruments into one dynamic feedback system. 

This event is co-sponsored by the Goethe-Institut.

This event is free and open to the public.
