WHY PARTICIPATE?
praelocutio.exordium.prolusio I. offers a sustained context for practitioners seeking to develop experimental work through rigorous inquiry and reciprocal collaboration.
The residency provides:
– An extended development period rather than a single short-term workshop
– Four online seminars followed by a one-week on-site residency
– Direct exchange among experimentalists, sound artists, makers, technologists, individuals, and collectives
– A structured progression from articulation to testing, realization, and public presentation
– Time for analysis, prototyping, revision, production planning, and reflection
– A framework in which material and technical knowledge contributes to artistic development
– A context in which experimentation becomes a method of critical inquiry
– Engagement with a shared conceptual framework
– The opportunity to present work at the seventh Bled Contemporary Music Week
– Participation in an international community and the possibility of sustained future collaboration
The program is intended for participants who seek not only to complete and present a project, but also to examine how experimental practices are produced through relations among ideas, sounds, bodies, materials, tools, technologies, infrastructures, institutions, environments, and publics.
