Investigations into human experience are particularly interesting when joining artistic practices and research methods. In this performance-lecture, Jan Schacher demonstrates digital arts practices, and lays out how, in combination with research, they offer the potential to generate insights and understanding. Gestures, sounds, and images convey his concrete practice and provide the frame to understand what research means in the context of an Arts University. This means reflecting on the role of technology and its presence in everyday life as well as developing alternative experiences, which put imagination, wonder, and learning at the centre. During the performance, Daniel Bisig creates artificial life forms that inhabit the space of the stage with light and interact with the performer. Jan Schacher is an artist-researcher working at the intersection between performance and interaction technologies. As a musician and composer, his artistic work focuses on the presence of the artist on stage and the experiences of visitors in media-installations. By putting a strong focus on perceptual engagement and direct actions, he develops art works that investigate the role and influence of technology in relation of human agency. His has shown pieces worldwide in festivals, exhibitions, and screenings. As a Research Associate at the Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology of the Zurich University of the Arts he thinks and writes about the relationship between body, presence, the nature of ideas and knowledge, and means of generating insights and understanding through artistic processes.
Daniel Bisig is a trained biologist and media-artist working in the domains of generative arts, technology development, and artistic explorations of algorithmic processes. As a researcher in the same institution, he frequently collaborates with choreographers and musicians to provide his expertise. Here, he develops visualizations of life-like processes in relation to the moving performer on stage. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
