Latent Figure Protocol (LFP) is an installation and a live science experiment that uses DNA samples to create readable, representational images. Several times throughout the festival artist Paul Vanouse will come to his bio art lab in the HacKaWay Zone, talking about his work and performing the experiment. Each time the results are recorded and can be watched until the fluorescence of the DNA eventually fades out for the process to be repeated.

Despite the shock and awe of their extraordinary sonic onslaught, MoHa! is the work of just two musicians: Anders Hana on guitar, electronics and effects pedals, and Morten J. Olsen on drums, triggering an avalanche of noise. Tonight they are collaborating with artist and photographer Anu Vahtra from Estonia and installation artist Idan Hayosh from Israel in a "sonic and visual performance that involves the audience in a physical experience of definite power and energy".

noise.

Tonight LIVE:RESPONSE presents two audiovisual performances which both revolve around cut-up techniques to remix items and icons of our contemporary pop culture. DONJON by Cécile Babiole and Vincent Goudard gleefully deconstructs a wide range of objects, particularly audiovisual equipment: turntables, radios, computers, musical instruments, telephones, video cameras – but also cocktail blenders, battery chickens, and various other domestic and fantastic appliances of ages past and present. In Genre Collage People Like Us manipulate the symbols, patterns and film stars of selected movie genres/sub-genres.

Eosin believes in ANALOG+DIGITAL, rather than ANALOG vs. DIGITAL. Self-Reproduction Loops is a tribute to the grooves of the vinyl record, to its crackles and clicks, skips and pops. Eosin employs pre-recorded vinyl noises and loops to create time sequences for use in live improv situations which she blends with a real-time layer of analog DJing. Combined, both layers weave unforeseeable compositions where each sound surpasses its own state of noise, loop or representation to become part of the overall sonority.

Cat Suzette plays with her audience, adapting her music to the prevailing mood and then, ultimately, transforming the atmosphere of the room. In this way, her sets can start off with trancey sounds that segue into narrative dub techno and end with ‘robust’ hardness and bouncy 4/4.

Expect a mind-blowing audiovisual performance of Real Time Video Sampling  generated through Ebomans SenSorSuit. The SenSorSuit is part of an audiovisual sampling system, called SenS, which enables him to manipulate audiovisual samples in real time and to combine these in a virtual 3D environment. For his live performances Eboman builds up tracks with input of the audience; Real Time recorded videos are sampled and scratched, still unique in this world...

This evening LIVE:RESPONSE, the transmediale.11 Performance programme, presents two extraordinary performances that both, in different ways, hack the normal state of the human body. For INJECT Herman Kolgen has exposed his body quite extremely to the impact of water and a lack of oxygen, while, with Face Visualizer: Instrument and Copy, Daito Manabe has created a ‘face instrument’ by applying small electroshocks to people’s faces making them move in synch with music.

Dorothy of the Day is a solo vocal loops project by Australian singer Rachel Holmshaw. Inspired by Hollywood musical films from the 1930s, she weaves multi-layered, slow and repetitive soundscapes that send their listeners into a hypnotic, nostalgic dream world.

This is how Resom describes her sound: Dark elektro robodisko to uplifting breaks or poppy minimal freakel techno or chain reaction-dub – everything works, but please don't be nice – be spooky, be bad, be dark. Just be good to her!

Fair Use looks at our accelerating culture through the electronic performance and remixing of cinema. The trio uses the picture and  soundtrack of culturally significant movies, drastically compressed in time, as the sole materials for an improvised set which interrogates our cinematic memories through frenetic audiovisual processing and  re-narration of the cinematic object. Fair Use will be performing a triple feature based on The Wizard of Oz, Snow White and Kubrick's 2001, investigating three aspects of establishment of the self in an unknown universe.
