Following the success of Coded Matter(s) #1: Unfolding Space, FIBER and Flemish Arts Centre ‘de Brakke Grond’ present the second edition of "Coded Matter(s)", titled ‘Sound Hackers’ on Sunday November 10. During this Sunday afternoon matinee we’ll experience the rising possibilities and new expressions in sound and music due to emerging technologies and code.
Software and the internet enabled people to produce and distribute music from their home computer. Nowadays the development of powerful mobile technology and accessible coding languages adds a whole range of possibilities to the production and performance of sound and music. The instruments that create and play sound are prepared with spatial, sensory and tangible interfaces. Musicians, sound artists and other sonic creatives expand the possibilities between physical materials and software by using light, projections, sensors, code and data as integral part of their work. We’ll also investigate the role of digital processes which enable the merging of virtual and analog instruments.
The afternoon will be filled with talks and performances by artists like audio-visual performer Paul Prudence, creative sound collective Soundlings (the current artist in residence at STEIM) & Gareth Davis (clarinet) and designer Pieter Jan Pieters (founder of studio OWOW). We invite everyone interested in sound and music to join us and be astonished by Sound Hackers; audiovisual performances and talks by a variety of artists who will present these ‘hybrid instruments’. More names will be announced soon.

FIRST NAMES
Paul Prudence (UK)
Paul Prudence is an audio-visual performer and live-cinema artist working with computational, algorithmic and generative environments. His work, which had been shown and performed internationally, focuses on the ways in which sound, space and form can be cross-wired to create live-cinematic visual-music experiences. Paul is known for his complex time-based geometric narratives which are precisely synchronised to electroacoustic sound design and sound art compositions.

STEIM (NL)
STEIM (the STudio for Electro-Instrumental Music) is an independent electronic music centre unique in its dedication to live performance. The foundation’s artistic and technical departments support an international community of performers, musicians, and visual artists, to develop unique instruments for their work. STEIM maintains a vibrant residency program whereby artists are provided with an artistic and technical environment in which concepts can be given concrete form. Ideas are catalyzed by providing critical feedback grounded in professional experience. Finally, new creations are then exposed to a receptive responsive niche public at STEIM before being groomed for a larger audience.

BACKGROUND INFO CODED MATTER(S) SERIES
Coded Matter(s) is a new series of events exploring the explosion of digital processes taking place in hybrid art, design and music and the ripples this causes. During these events artists, designers, musicians and other creatives will demonstrate the immense possibilities offered by digital systems and creative coding platforms for the creation of visual art, generative design, interactive installations, multi-sensory performances and enchanting scenography.
The programmes will show how artists create connections within their work between human expression, technology, computer generated data and their physical surroundings. They also discuss their vision for the development and the open sharing of knowledge within design processes and digital culture. Coded Matter(s) sets out to explore how technology enables new forms of artistic expression.
Coded Matter(s) will also function as a platform for bringing together frontrunners within the many creative disciplines. Furthermore, FIBER aims to open up these developments and make them accessible to a broad audience, giving them a unique opportunity to experience the many possibilities and tools. Within this series groundbreaking interactive installations, process based design, audiovisual dance and music performances, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) platforms, data art and digital scenography will be addressed.
