Newsletter #13

We're launching our new website! More content will be added over the coming months, but there's already plenty to discover. Alongside the larger productions by Myriam Van Imschoot and the YouYou Group, a whole constellation of smaller works comes into view. From sound art on school playgrounds to site-responsive performances in public space, from Timișoara to Japan. What stands out is just how much work has been accomplished over the past few years, and how many offshoots and collaborations have emerged along the way.

In our texts section, we bring together more in-depth writing, including contributions from artists and collaborators offering inside perspectives on artistic processes. At newpolyphonies, artistic practices are the driving forces behind our work. You can experience them first-hand at a Club Zaghareeds dedicated to the youyou, or by joining an open lab to experiment with the voice or with the city as a sounding board. Keep an eye on our calendar for upcoming activities.

Plural Eye

Filmers is a collective of artists and filmmakers who for the last two years set out to use smartphones to investigate the potential for making and circulating film/ sound art via digital technologies. What resulted was, among other things, a rich archaeological dig into social reality. Comprising of hundreds of short film clips; including observational epiphanies/artefacts, corner of the eye/ear perceptions, and dystopia like glimpses into quotidian worlds. Also, along the way, significant questions and challenges were raised in terms of using such technologies to produce and appreciate post-cinematic film art. This screening is the first curated program of new works by members and allies of the collective.
