Elodie Vreeburg - Garden of pavement

Zen gardens are places where new ideas are created through the use of metaphors and the fluidity of the natural sand, the street where a structure has to be followed and where there is no possibility of shaping anything by ourselves. Throughout a collaboration together with a road building company I merged those two elements together in a performance by one of the workers.

Elodie Vreeburg is a half French half Dutch conceptual artist/photographer currently studying in her 4th year fiction photography at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. At the moment she is working on the metaphors behind the road in which she is researching how to escape from the city structure and how to create awareness again of the core principles of living. In past projects she is intervening in the social structures in which she emphasizes on the relation between man and nature, human behaviour and obsession. Pointing out on situations, suggesting other possible ways and trying to make people react on the unusualness of some behaviours.

Lucie Nezri - once racing ceased, essentially the old 166 renumbered

centered around the single unifying concept of ‘spectrum probabilities’, my musical practice methodically examines the timbre and structure of overtones created by stochastic synthesis techniques. as a reminder (and/or an invitation to yawn), stochastic synthesis refers to a non-standard dynamic sound synthesis technique (zzzz), based on randomness and probabilities applied to a microscopic level ( ). it allows for creating sound material with uncountable degrees of instability and malleability ( = intriguing). 

for this rcc, i’m planning to present a new study, mysteriously entitled ‘once racing ceased, essentially the old 166 renumbered’, from which i intend to explain how simple compositional ideas emerged from the methodology i’ve recently been working with. 

Lucie Nezri is an experimental composer, programmer, performer, dj from france, currently studying at the institute of sonology. in her eclectic artistic practice, nezri is drawn towards the notion of propensity, the use of probabilities and deviations. yet, definiteness and restraint eventually became essential components of her work as she carried on her musical-computational explorations. (because, you know, contradictions and equivocalness are part of the equation)
