Following the successful inauguration of BLAST! last year, the open call’s second iteration expands into a two-part program: BLAST! Visions and BLAST! Sounds. The talk brings together interdisciplinary practioners from the field of sound art to discuss the physicality and transportive nature of sound. Since the incorporation of digital technology into sound art the discipline has undergone a radical transformation. Panelists will explore the impact of actively listening to the natural soundscapes around us.
Keywords: mapping, space, urban tapestry, sonic unconscious, pure, melodic, frequency, reverberations, resonate, tension, synthesize, record, interactive, auditory, articulate, memory
Between Disciplines: Crafting New Cartographies of Perception

Moderator: Chao Jiaxing

This year’s Art In The City Festival brings together a group of works which have been influenced by artistic cross-hatching. The talk aims to assess how the works on display meld art, design and technology in an effort to construct a new map of visual perception. The objects in TAKE ME OUT challenge our comprehension of the spaces within which we view art. Circularly, we continue to re-purpose and re-imagine objects and artwork in accordance with our evolving societal needs.
Keywords: urban, bodies, portable, extension, style, hybridity, collaboration, transcend, multimedia, participatory, pattern formation, generative art, immaterial, humanistic inquiry
Check out a concurrent talk at CREATER SPACE with some of this year’s BLAST! Visions jury members and finalists – Moving Image: A Model for the Contemporary. The talk will be followed by a special presentation by Miltos Manetas and his new media work related to Pokémon, an ongoing series the artist started in 2000.
