Social
Spaces

Z-OUT, a grand artistic project situated on the crossroads between art, architecture, and landscape, with the aim to place artworks throughout Limburg, has three job offers, to be made public soon: a project manager, a communication responsible, and a back-office function. More info will follow soon in different media. Check out the website of Z33.

Arts centre Vooruit and SMAK in Ghent organise the biennial project Electrified. Hacking Public Space, including contemporary art, media art, sound and performance art. In the quest for a shared ‘mentality’ in these different dynamics, the public space is taken as a common thread. The term ‘public space’ is here all-embracing, without losing sight of the actual distinction between real and virtual public space.

Multiple voice/vision is a research project by Rudi Knoops on the interaction between part-singing in music and audiovisual styling. For the first phase of this practically-oriented research project in the arts called ‘Dioramatized’, Rudi Knoops uses the FLACC workshop.

‘Dioramatized’ is a series of experimental studies into the use of optical equipment for visualizing musical polyphony in a miniaturized set-up and refers, firstly, to the 19th-century phenomenon of dioramas and, secondly, to the conversion of the diorama concept into a contemporary and interactive media format.

The result of the project will be a deconstruction of classic contrapuntal music converted into an interactive media setting. The project is funded by the IvOK (Institute for Practice-based Research in the Arts /K.U.Leuven).
