    Commissioned by Nusasonic and Musicboard Berlin, artists Collo Awata and Madam Data will premiere an installation resulting from a months-long residency spanning Berlin and Singapore. »Yowa Continuum« is inspired by nonlinear paradigms of time and the time-marking strategies. Situating their experiences according to the cosmogram, the artists point to events as always having happened and always in the process of happening and demand that the moment of our exit from the colony is not »now« or »then,« but at every single point along our continuum.

    Gaspar Cohen digs into the ΚΣΥΜΕ/CMRC Contemporary Music Research Centre in Athens to create »Iterative Cast,« an audiovisual work that scrutinizes the tensions among different epistemological standpoints to affirm uncertainty as a potentiality of the present. The work is created within the framework of Chronotopia, a project by CTM and Goethe-Institut Athen.

    »Fragile Fragments« by pantea and umatic & telematique revolves around the concept of unexpected and diverse life forms that may occur under extreme conditions or in fragile ecosystems – blurring the line between plant and animal kingdoms. The work is commissioned by MUTEK Dubai, CTM Festival, and Goethe-Institut Tehran.

    »sound cosmetics« is a work by the duo NOHE NOSHE that includes holistic practices of sound cleansing, and where our embodied pandemic patterns can be dissolved through sound.
