Denshi Onkyo People Project 2023–2024 Special and Spatial Project @Goethe-Institut Tokyo

  • Organization : Denshi Onkyo People Project 2023–2025
  • Section : None
  • Type of Grant Program : Single

Outline

The project included an exhibition of sound and visual installations, a symposium and two days of live performances featuring collaborative works by students from Tokyo College of Music and Tokyo Denki University, workshop participants and lecturers from Japan and abroad, and works by lecturers and Japanese composers from Japan and abroad. In the symposium, Ludger Brümmer, Hiromi Ishii and Benjamin Miller, who taught workshops at ZKM, and Kazuko Narita, who organised the workshop in France, were invited to discuss the significance and development of collaborative production of electroacoustic music. A sound-visual installation with works by all participants and a collective portrait video was exhibited at the entrance, attempting to create a visual and aural representation of the project as a whole. The handles installed in this work allowed the fragmentation and mixing of approximately 90 works by the participants in real time, positioning the electroacoustic people as a visual and audible device.

Profile

【Denshi Onkyo People Project】
The Electroacoustic People Project is a participatory project art encompassing the fields of music, contemporary art and education, with the main focus on the social practice of sharing the creation of computer-based electroacoustic music with many inexperienced people. 2023, in collaboration with the Centre for Art And Media Karlsruhe (ZKM), the Swedish The Royal University of Science and Technology (KTH), BankART1929 and the Goethe-Institut Tokyo, the new organising committee was formed to work on social practice as project art and the establishment of a theory of practice based on an interdisciplinary and analytical perspective.
