FETA invites you to experience a set of activities and discussion about Juraj Kojš and Pi Winter’s Knight Challenge Award project Closer Encounters. The project aims to rediscover, reclaim and nurture our sense of intimacy and connectiveness in the post-pandemic era. In our activities segment, we will explore real-time sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes) in music and movement making environments. Then, the panel discussion about three 2023 performances of Closer Encounters will follow, featuring Juraj Kojš, Pioneer Winter, Laura Merisier (Miami Sound Space) Betzaida Ferrer and Dimitry Chamy. After a short break Gustavo Matamoros, the 2018 FETA Prize in Sound Art Judge will present his talk “Sound: audible manifestation of change” about his recent art practices. The FETA Prize in Sound Art was established in 2013 to promote a broad range of contemporary American sound and installation artists and ran for 7 years. The digital archive of the winners, finalists and judges are posted on https://fetafoundation.org/feta-sound-prize-virtual-archives/
