The symbiosis between humans and computer-based technologies has a profound impact on artistry. [“Art -Tech”/ nological] frameworks enable technology to be part of the creative process and the performance practice, while dynamically collaborate with humans in the realization and final execution of structures, a soundscapes, etc. The emerging hybridity among the means questions traditional archetypes of craft and expressivity forging new pathways of understanding and experimentation. This workshop focuses on the synergies embedded in time-based media, “Contemporary” sonic artwork-making with great attention to the recontextualization of complexity as a framework of performance and expressivity. This workshop will present selected approaches of art-tech-based music making – Mixed, electroacoustic, and electronic productions, and audio installations –, will present the practices while deconstructing the role of technology in shaping the artistic ideas. Finally, the participants will have the opportunity to engage in a collaborative “Art-Tech” improvisation in the form of a real-time sound art composition.
