We are pleased to announce our support to the 7th edition of Mapping Possibilities. This edition features two Swiss artists, Samuel Savenberg / S S S S, producer and musician working in the wider fields of Electronic Music, and GIL Schneider, producer and sound artist; the two artists are participating with two sound pieces for the performances, and a workshop directed by GIL.
After 7 editions of Mapping Possibilities and over 20 A/V performances, we are happy to expand the scale of our activities by establishing a mini festival “Mapping Possibilities 2019”. the “mini festival” will host a variety of A/V performances, workshops and talks, happening during one week. the aim is to connect artists from different fields together, as well as to offer more possibilities for younger artists to collaborate through learning new skills, and having open discussions about different topics in media art, technology in different media and how it affects their works and their vision.
