Inspired by work in Indigenous communities over the last 25 years and also, over the last four, in Istria, a tiny region in west Croatia, whose microtonal scale has been listed in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List, as well as explorations in Pythagorian Harmonics and Just Intonation, the slowly evolving work builds on natural harmonies and subtracted or interpolated fundamentals, it flows between sublime and challenging sonorities at an almost imperceptible rate.

An introduction to analog video signals, followed by a presentation of the circuits the author is working on, and making people solder their own glitch circuit.
The session will be held in English. All materials are provided by the hosts. Due to limited spots, workshop applications and inquiries should be directed at: [email protected] before October 6th. [Please enclose your contact and brief motivation.]
About the artist
Bastien Lavaud / Holographic Thought Process [FR]
After taking interest in electronics for music synthesizers, Holographic Thought Process discovered another world around video circuits. Using a cathode ray tube TV and a camera, the author captures what’s going through the circuits he builds and modifies, resulting into a colorful, distorted imagery.

BITS & PIECES / my intimate entropies and stochastics>
[Talk @ Galerija Siva, Mon 9.10., 18:00]
An author’s presentation, by Tonči Bakotin / Ruzina Frankulin, on own artistic work based on perceptual coding, psychoacoustics, soundscapes, and extreme compression rates as an artistic transformative gesture transcending common archival inclinations of contemporary digital and/or digitized media. The talk will enclose raw materials – prerequisites of reinterpretative digital media art typology, along with video installation art documentative samples – both of studies, and digital reconstructions of appropriated audio-visuals; digital art objects (to be) after the author’s techno-aesthetical intervention.
[The talk will be held in English]

Glitch Art in the Main Stream
[Talk @ Galerija Siva, Tue 10.10., 18:00]
We ironically – hopefully? – proclaim that “glitch art is dead”, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. This lecture will cover glitch art’s rise into mainstream consciousness, how it’s used, and even its aestheticization far removed from the original idea of a digital glitch.
[The talk will be held in English]
About the artist
Way Spurr-Chen [US] is an occasional glitch artist and constant glitch art enthusiast. He runs Glitchet, which is a webzine convering dystopian contemporary topics pressed against the backdrop of glitch art and new aesthetic artwork, as well as a glitch art resources page. glitchet.com
Ultrasonic Noise
[Performance @ Galerija Siva, Tue 10.10., 21:00]
The performance is a 20–30 minutes live improvisation with advanced selfmade electronics, involving the SNU (Special Noise Unit, FM-synth), sequencers, ring modulators and unique ultrasonic instruments (transmitters & “bat ears”).
The main Units’ – SNU & sequencer documentation will be distributed by the author under an open license, after the concert.
About the artist
Jo FRGMNT Grys: Born 1963 in Essen/Germany. Studied chemistry, philosophy, mineralogy etc @ the Justus-Liebig-University of Gießen then more & more turned towards arts using scientifically influenced thinking to investigate formation of structure from noise & order, from error & law and feedback as his main artistic themes.
Grys is working with video-snow, electronics, computers, body & brain. Performed with noisiV (self-made electronics and video manipulations), TOB (transmitters and self-made electronics) as FRGMNT (structured noise & DIY ultrasonics) since 2010 and 2VM (VJ team) since 2002. Grys also makes electronic installations & gives workshops since 2004. Among other festivals he has taken part in V2´s DEAF NL, Piksel NO, Pixelache FI, Art Trail IE, Dorkbot CH, CTM DE.
Works as an artist & inventor of machines. In recent years he also presents his computer graphics work to the public. frgmnt.org
Community Standards
[Talk @ Galerija Siva, Wed 11.10., 18:00]
Community Standards is an ongoing project which has developed from an old presentation prepared for the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Much less academic in its form now it mainly focuses on the state of art in social media, communication between artists, artworks, audience and administrators of social networking websites, advantages and limitations resulting from promotion of art in social media and the meaning of life, obviously. (Mostly based on the example of Facebook.)
This project would be shown in a form of a presentation followed by a discussion with audience (Author realizes her own knowledge is limited and sees it rather as an opportunity to develop and engage in a – hopefully – meaningful discussion).
[The talk will be held in English language.]
About the artist
Zoe Stawska [PL]
A artist from a God forbidden country in Eastern Europe. Specializes in glitch art, sort of. But not really. A pretty chill person overall. In her sacrilegious art she often combines catholic symbols and nudity. Often gets banned from social media websites. She likes to pretend it doesn’t bother her. Lack of any real achievements, growing anxiety and overwhelming desperation only prove she’s on her way to a spectacular artistic failure. She’s an art school dropout, which means she hasn’t finished her artistic education (and barely even started actually). Thus all her knowledge is mostly based on own experiences and observations. You have been warned.
I Am Sitting In a Room v 2.0
[Performance @ Galerija Siva, Wed 11.10., 21:00]
The sound performance I Am Sitting In a Room v 2.0 is a digital hommage/remix of the work ‘I Am Sitting In a Room’. The work focuses on human voice becoming a digital artifact and the instabillity/fragillity of digital media. Through transcoding and databending a live recorded file of the artists voice he searches for its extremes and sonic textures that completely render it functionless. It is not the voice that is bent, but its medialized version, the audio file.
About the artist
Tin Dožić [RH]
Tin Dožić holds an MA in Psychology at the University Department for Croatian Studies (University of Zagreb) and New media studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. His practice originates in the medium of sound, whilst working in the areas of field recording, radio, experimental music and installations. The author’s work is based in media research via creating DIY electronic instruments, appropriating obsolete technology and recycling. He has exhibited and shown at diverse Croatian and international venues/platforms, as a solo artist and in collaborative projects (Summer Sessions Rotterdam, Showroom of Contemporary Sound, MIMO, Sine Linea, Sound art inkubator, Device art).
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Talk @ Galerija Siva, Thu 12.10., 18:00]
From rosy retrospection to digital compression, a history of chickens wearing rose tinted glasses since the 1900s.
[The talk will be held in English.]
About the artist
Kaspar Ravel[FR]
Being a kid in the 90’s meant you were probably raised by computers. In my case it meant being surrounded with partly-functional machines scraped from the streets, corrupted data from illegal downloads & a sworn promise to never bore myself with any kind of instruction book. As much as I loved going off tracks, throwing myself constantly in unexplored terrains, today there’s a bigger picture to it than there was 10 years ago. Over the years, digital media gradually became more and more present. And when some people just acknowledged it, others built walls, restrained access, willingly deteriorated it, and planted snitches in everything.
In the digital era, the concept of deciding how you want to read write & execute data is free will, thus, the reason glitch art is so important to me. Once you deviate your consumer habits, taking any media, breaking it apart & re-appropriating it by making it into something you find beautiful is one of the best feelings ever. Why ? Because these moments are the inspiration to your digital freedom.
Dérive & Shai Hulud : about police state and the underground
[Performance @ Galerija Siva, Thu 12.10., 21:00]
The author films a screen streaming a video montage he did with rushes filmed in different violent protests and in the catacombs. The source (PS2) is linked to a Tachyons+ Opti-Glitch which interferes with the live images in addition of the digital effects and the calibration Dérive set on the video. The camera filming the screen is linked to a video projector projecting the images for the spectators. In the meantime – the music (mostly vaportrap with samples), composed by Shai Hulud for the video, is played.
About the artist
Dérive [FR]
Photographer and videographer based in Paris. I distort pictures I take and videos I shoot. I use different techniques from digital to analog glitch. facebook.com/derivedesattractions
Interface Fractures: IF4Q
[Performance @ Klub Attack, Fri 13.10., 21:00]
Interface Fractures is a series of audiovisual explorations Luka Prinčič has been developing in collaboration with the Slovenian Cinematheque since 2013. The series’ cinema-sound episodes share the same method and format: an immersive situation in the darkness of the cinema, the use of digital and open source tools for generating image and sound, a dichotomy between fixed composition and improvisation in time, a tendency for abstraction out of which fragments of the concrete arise, and playing with the synchronisation of sound and image. Although the creation process includes an examination of the contemporary human condition, conventional narration is not so important in the created performances and remains in the background. Interface Fractures is thus a fragmented excursion into abstract sound and the moving picture. Their synthetic integration emerges from the process of searching for fractures and subjectivities in a seemingly impenetrable polished and polarised interfaces – mediated, inter-machinic, interhuman.
