Ankerpunkt hierbei bildet insbesondere der südamerikanische Kontinent, dessen wandelbare Landschaften und seine BewohnerInnen. Die teilnehmenden internationalen KünstlerInnen loten akustisch, filmisch, fotografisch und sprachlich Räume aus und erforschen so die erwähnten Aspekte.

Laurien Bachmann
In meinen Arbeiten kombiniere ich häufig themen- oder ortsbezogene Fundstücke mit digitalen Medien wie Fotografie, Video und Sound, welche mitunter auch raumgreifend installiert werden. Die Wahrnehmung von Raum bzw. bestimmten Räumen sowie kollektive und persönliche Erinnerungen sind für mich wiederkehrende gedankliche Ausgangspunkte. In meinen Arbeiten versuche ich Beobachtungen auf diesem Feld in Form von Stand- und Bewegtbildern zu inszenieren, um in Folge die Wahrnehmung der Betrachter herauszufordern und Denkprozesse anzustoßen.  Connecting site- or topic-specific found footage with digital media like photography, video and sound, which could even result in expansive installations, is common for my working method. The perception of space and specific rooms as well as collective and personal memories are recurrent conceptual starting points. I’m trying to stage my observations on that field in terms of still and moving images, to challenge the beholders way of perception and get them to reflect their way of thinking. http://laurienbachmann.com/

Sebastian Six
is an multidisciplinary Artist. Acoustic experiments in connection with items of everyday life, sculptural assemblages and the physical element of sound are the main aspects of his musical and visual compositions. The works deal with moments where noise becomes music and the difference between hearing and active listening is explored. In his Performances he works with a lot different ways to generate Sounds, from everyday objects over self built instruments to typical sound equipment. So he creates delicate improvised experimental music which oscillates between experiment, session and concept. Since 2004, he works together with Clemens Mairhofer, Lucas Norer in the artist collective FAXEN furthermore he is co-founder of the artist-run-gallery bb15 in Linz. https://sebastiansix.net/
