A/V performance

/// ARS NATURA – legend of the future or sonic archaeology of a forgotten world: representations of nature and brutalist architecture seem to unfold a false world. Is it a before or after Anthropocene, a simulation or our planet? ARS NATURA is marked by human and animal absence, apart from the performer who initiates the appearance and disappearance of the image through sound.
Survivor or initiator of another world, human, android or cyborg wondering about her origins? A viewer, an interface, a certain solitude.
ARS NATURA grapples with our connection to the living world through contemplation: a science-fiction that immerses us in a powerful, wild and even disquieting nature.
Annabelle Playe /// is an artist specializing in experimental electronic music. She uses electronic instruments to create solo compositions, audiovisual works, and hybrid art forms. Dedicated to promoting greater visibility for women in music, she addresses contemporary societal issues through narratives inspired by science fiction, or by creating works that inhabit unique and powerful sonic worlds.
Hugo Arcier ///  is a French digital artist (in fact, an artist in a digital world) who uses 3D computer-generated images in a variety of forms: videos, prints and sculptures, AV performances. His artistic work has been presented at Elektra, Mutek Mx, la Philharmonie de Paris, Sonica, Nemo, art venues (New Museum NY, New Media Art Center of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Le Cube, Okayama Art Center, Palais de Tokyo), and contemporary art fairs (Variation, Slick) around the world, making him a noted player in the world of digital art.

Icarus vs Muzak /// Icarus vs Muzak is the continuation of the successful experience that was Icarus Junior – first youth ensemble founded and overseen by Icarus Ensemble in 2007. Their first production, under the direction of Francesco Micheli, was live streamed or RaiRadio3. Later, Icarus produced “Prove di volo” for amplified instruments, elecrtonics and video (created by Otolab and MartinenFabrik). “Prove di volo” was performed in San Francisco (Spring Festival of the Bay Area in collaboration with Italian institute of Culture) and in various italian cities. The following program, “The Dark Side of the Moon-Revisited” with MartinenFabrik’s video art, was performed in Zagreb Bienniale in 2009. Icarus Junior members took part in projects in Dijon, Milan, Cairo and Alexandria. “Soli Deo Gloria” was performed within the homonymous festival in Reggio Emilia in 2010, with replies in Mantova, Belfort, Milan, Modena. In 2014 “Cervelli in fuga”, collection of youg italian composers in Paris, was performed in Madrid, Avila, Milan/Brera, Reggio Emilia. Icarus vs Muzak started his activity with various concerts based on percussions and the new current ensemble. The ensemble produced several programs for Maramotti Art Collection, ranging from Terry Riley’s “In C” to a mixed Crumb/Guo Wengjing program.
In 2017 the ensemble started a residency in Brera Academy (Milan), still ongoing, in collaboration with Amici di Musica/Realtà. The resulting productions, whether independent or shared with Icarus Ensemble, are significant. Among those, “Sinestesie” was created on the occasion of Brera Academy’s Open Day, in collaboration with Brera Art Gallery: they performed Melchiorre’s “Unreported”, an opera about Ustica air disaster, created together with Associazione parenti delle vittime di Ustica, with replies in Reggio Emilia and Bologna. The ensemble dedicated various thematic programs to contemporary repertoire.
