FWD - Einladung zum Symposium "(Virtual) Presence!? Musical performances in hybrid spaces"

 Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,


wir möchten Sie herzlich einladen zum Symposium

"(Virtual) Presence!? Musical performances in hybrid spaces"


Die Veranstaltung findet am 17. und 18. Juli 2024 von jeweils 14 - 21 Uhr im Institut für Theaterwissenschaft, Grunewaldstr. 35, 12165 Berlin, an der FU Berlin statt. 

Bei Aufführung von Musik liegt der Schwerpunkt meist auf der hörbaren Umsetzung von Klangvorstellungen in einem physischen Raum - einem Konzertsaal oder Aufführungsort. Dieser physische Raum wird jedoch immer öfters auf verschiedene Weise medial erweitert, sowohl auf akustischer als auch auf visueller Ebene, z. B. durch die Integration von Audioaufnahmen, Videomaterial und Echtzeit-Implementierung von audiovisueller Verarbeitung. Mit der Entwicklung digitaler Netze und der wachsenden Bandbreite für Online-Streaming eröffneten sich neue Möglichkeiten, Konzerte und Aufführungen auf Interpreten und Zuhörer auszuweiten, die nicht mehr unbedingt physisch am Konzertort anwesend sind. Und spätestens seit den Einschränkungen durch die COVID-19-Pandemie sind komplette Musikaufführungen im virtuellen Raum zur neuen Normalität geworden. Doch was bedeuten diese neuen Formen und Formate für die aufführende Musik und die aufgeführte Musik? Was ändert sich für Komponisten, Interpreten - und das Publikum? Wie verändert sich ein und dieselbe Aufführung, wenn sie im realen, hybriden und virtuellen Raum wahrgenommen wird? Was bedeutet "Präsenz" in diesen unterschiedlichen Settings?

Das interdisziplinäre und internationale Symposium "(Virtual) Presence!? Musical performances in hybrid spaces" wird diesen Fragen nachgehen und ist insbesondere daran interessiert, Perspektiven geisteswissenschaftlicher Forschungsdisziplinen mit künstlerische Positionen von Komponierenden und Aufführenden sowie den Eindrücken des Publikums zusammenzuführen.

Das Symposium findet in Englischer Sprache statt. Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Eine online-Teilnahme an Symposium und Konzert ist möglich, der entsprechende Link wird kurz vor der Veranstaltung auf der Webseite veröffentlicht. https://www.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/we07/musik/Symposium-Virtual-Presence/index.html

Wir würden uns freuen, Sie in Berlin zu sehen!

Herzliche Grüße

Miriam Akkermann

The event will take place on July 17 and 18, 2024 from 2 - 9 pm at the Institute for Theater Studies, Grunewaldstr. 35, 12165 Berlin, at the FU Berlin.

When talking about performing music, the focus is usually set on an audible realization of sonic ideas within a physical space – a concert hall or performance location. However, this physical space has been extended by means of media in various ways on acoustic but also on visual levels, e.g. with the integration of audio recordings, video footage, and real-time implementation of audio-visual processing. With the developments in digital networks and the growing bandwidth for online-streaming, new possibilities opened up to extend concerts and performances to performers and listeners who are no longer necessarily physically present at the concert venue. And since the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic at the latest, complete musical performances in virtual space have become a new normal. But what do these new forms and formats mean for performing music and the music performed? What does change for composers, performers – and the audience? How does the very same performance change when being perceived in real, hybrid and virtual space? What does “presence” mean in these different settings?

The interdisciplinary and international Symposium "(Virtual) Presence!? Musical performances in hybrid spaces" will explore these questions and is especially interested in bringing together perspectives of humanities research disciplines such as musicology and theatre studies and artistic positions from composers and performers on the staging of the performance, the aspect of co-creation, the role of music technology, and intended, desired or neglected effects for the audience.

The symposium will be held in English. Participation is free of charge. Online participation in the symposium and concert is possible, the corresponding link will be published on the website shortly before the event. https://www.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/we07/musik/Symposium-Virtual-Presence/index.html

We look forward to seeing you in Berlin!

Kind regards
