Crushed Now–After Turning // Beyond Presence
About
"Crushed Now—After Turing // Beyond Presence" is a five-evening concert series that explores hybrid, relational spaces at the intersection of instruments, technology, and spatial design. Rooted in the perspective of this "hybrid spatiology," the series re-imagines instrumentality as an aesthetic, perceptual, and social practice of listening, ultimately reconfiguring traditional concert setups into collective, relational modes of listening.
Artists ranging from contemporary music, electro acoustic composition, DJing, and live-coding perform in different constellations in which human and artificial actors become equal partners; gesture is continuously negotiated as a dynamically produced (im)balance between human and machine; creative decisions are distributed across both human and artificial actors, constantly renegotiating how sound is heard, shared, and interpreted.
Human–machine exchange becomes a reciprocal, co-creative process that reshapes not only the concept of instrumentality, but also the socio-cultural architecture of performance that unfolds as a compositional social practice.
