ArtScience Encounters bersama Libby Heaney: Qlimate Tongues

Qlimate Tongues adalah instalasi suara multisaluran yang mengeksplorasi iklim, jalinan kompleksnya, serta dampak teknologi kuantum. Dalam karya ini, kita mendengar suara manusia dan non-manusia yang lahir dari kecerdasan buatan, serta suara yang menghipnotis dari komputasi kuantum. Kombinasi ini mengundang kita untuk berefleksi tentang bagaimana kemajuan teknologi membentuk dan mengikat dirinya dengan kehidupan di bumi.

AeReA — Panzetti/Ticconi (Italia/Jerman)

AeReA meneliti bendera sebagai objek imajinasi dan kekuatan simbolis serta hubungannya dengan tubuh jasmani.

Bebas dari lambang tradisionalnya, bendera abu-abu perak yang dikibarkan oleh penampil berubah menjadi wujud spektral yang mengaburkan batas antara spanduk dan kain kafan. Judul AeReA ini diambil dari kata Bahasa Latin “ara” (altar) dan “aerea” (udara), menekankan dualitas bendera sebagai objek yang secara prinsip selalu berfungsi untuk mengekspresikan gagasan persatuan dan pemisahan. Didukung oleh tata suara Demetrio Castellucci, AeReA mengajak penonton merenungkan kembali konsep kekuasaan dan kepemilikan, menelusurinya dari perspektif sejarah hingga masa kini.

ArtScience Encounters with Mark Chua and Lam Li Shuen: A Lotus Turns To Light

Created by filmmaker and artist duo Mark Chua and Lam Li Shuen, A Lotus Turns To Light is a 10-channel durational sound installation inspired by the cycles of lotus flowers, light and time.
