Essay

The essay summarizes the Czech-Brazilian cultural theorist and media philosopher Vilém Flusser’s ideas on the apparatus, codes, and programmed and manipulated society. He ends his texts by highlighting the importance of artists who might be able to play with and against the apparatus and challenge mass media and their preprogrammed functions.

// FALLING AV PERFORMANCE //

The works of the composer Rozi Mákó and the media artist Bori Mákó invite you into a meta-world of meditative and sacred calm. FALLING's fictional landscapes and sound fields, intertwined through shared musical and visual dynamics, transport us into realms of deep stillness and delicate sounds. A triptych of digital paintings and an audiovisual composition built from fragments of a live sound world evoke the memory of a slow fall outside of space and time.

// SOUND ART PERFORMANCES //

ANEZ is an experimental electronic music project by Anesz Szalai and Zoltán Demeter. This evening they make their debut with an improvisation show developed together with the software engineer Zsolt Török, which presents the synaesthetic synchronicity of music and light.

SZENDE opens the evening with the premiere of their live performance, which harmonises with gentle ambient dream images. After the concerts, NYXA plays a melodic DJ set.

// ARTIST PROFILES //

Bori MÁKÓ: media artist, animation designer. In 2017 she graduated from Budapest's Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design with a Masters in Animation. Her visual language represents various genres of digital painting and her exhibition portfolio includes large format prints, video installations and print publications. Her imagery and digital landscapes are reminiscent of David Hockney's painted atmosphere. In addition to her artistic work, she is involved in television productions and animated film projects. She has been teaching digital painting since 2019.

Rozi MÁKÓ: musician, sound designer. She studied classical piano and jazz piano, at the same time she was always open to different currents of electronic music, which she later studied in the Netherlands at the sonological faculty of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Her live performances offer slowly unfolding musical experiences that are both gently harmonic and disturbingly loud. The sounds of the musical structures designed by her invite the listener on a journey, to a meditative immersion in continuous renewal.

ANEZ is a duo formed in 2011 by Anesz Szalai and Zoltán Demeter. Both artists have backgrounds in music theory, classical, jazz and electronic music. In their work, they developed a specific musical language system in which they explore the connection points between the musicality of sound design atmospheres and the mysteries of the soul. During their live performances, they create unique, dialogue-based improvisational compositions every time. Recorder Magazine called them as pioneers of the Hungarian intellectual electronic music scene.

SZENDE is the stage name of Natalie Szende, who, in addition to her musicology studies, is also studying electronic music production and performance art at the Catalyst Institute Berlin. In her ambient music compositions, she strives for synthesis of various inspirations in the broadest sense, manifesting itself as cinematic dreamscapes in her live performances.
