Exploring the possibilities of generative systems, Cetilia’s work is an exercise in carefully controlled chaos.

Projects (Providence). He has performed widely at such venues as Kunstraum Walcheturm (Zurich), the Borealis Festival (Bergen), Café OTO (London), STEIM (Amsterdam), LACE (LA), Roulette (NYC), Goethe-Institut (Boston), Issue Project Room (Brooklyn), Menza Pri Koritu (Ljubljana), Uganda (Jerusalem), Sound of Mu (Oslo), and Electronic Church (Berlin).

His projects are increasingly multi-disciplinary, becoming more visual, performative and tangible, exploring physical sound traces and transforming energy forms.Whetham participates in various international artist residencies, and performs and exhibits internationally, presenting works in MA/IN Festival 2022 (IT), MFRU 2022 (SI), NEXT Festival 2021 (SK), Electric Spring 2020 (UK), In Vitrø 2019 (IT), Fresh Winds Biennale 2018 &amp; 2016 (IS), Nakanojo Biennale 2017 (JP), Tsonami Festival 2017 &amp; 2012 (CL), Tsukuba Art Center 2014, 2015 and 2016 (JP), Madeiradig 2010 &amp; 2011 (PT) and Moers Festival 2011 (DE).

<a href="https://www.zhuomengting.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Zhuo Mengting </a>(b. Guangzhou, China, 1990) composes situations with site, sound, body and time, in the forms of performance, participatory installation, and concerts. Often minimalist, subtle and intimate, her work invites the audience to investigate themes of connection, transmission, contingency and distance.Sonically, she is exploring the politics of listening - the creation, reception and manipulation of signals - as well as the liminal points where sound and space intersect, through a series of happenings predominantly using non-instruments, unwanted noise, found objects and the body. Recent scores were developed for MAO Torino, Italy, Frieze London, and Cafe OTO London, UK.As a performer and director, she has made encounters with audiences in theatres, galleries and other spaces, including a park, a beach, a karaoke club, a flat, and online. She studied Performance Making at Goldsmiths, University of London, where she is now based. Her work has been presented internationally, including in the UK, China, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Through installation, site specific work and performance he researches ideas around collective cultural memory, human agency and our impact on the natural world, inviting the audience to create new connections to the unheard; the nuanced rhythm and sounds uncovered from our environment. He uses laptop electronics, modular synthesis and field recordings to compose intricate soundscapes, combining algorithmic and generative techniques alongside musical influences of 90’s Detroit techno and dub. Most recently he designed and composed a 16 channel ambisonic piece for permanent installation in London’s Natural History Museum. His work has been shown in galleries at the Barbican London, Hayward’s Gallery Artnight, William Morris Gallery and internationally such as The Light Festival, Iceland. He has performed in the UK in Café Oto, Shacklewell Arms, The Others, New River Studios, O2 Academy Islington and throughout the world, recently returning from a 4-month tour of venues and festivals in Slovakia, Czech Republic and Italy.

<a href="https://encreuxmusic.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">L﻿ucia H Chung</a>Lucia H Chung is a Taiwanese artist based in London, United Kingdom. She performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where the sound creation springs from her fascinations in noise generated through no-input feedback mixing board. The volatile nature of the system and the unpredictable glitch from the excessive energy pouring into the equipment becomes her improvisational and compositional strategy. Lucia’s passion lies in live performance and has regularly performed solo and with collaborators in the UK, Europe, Asia and North America, including Lausanne Underground Film and Music Festival (CH), Krama Festival (GR), Lisboa Soa Festival (PT), Sanatorium of Sound Festival (PL) and Festival Electropixel (FR).
