Workshop & Open talks: Sounds of immersion
For this edition of L.E.V. Matadero, we reflect on the relationship between virtual spaces and experimental sound creation. Much has changed since Jaron Lanier developed The Sound of one Hand, which can be considered one of the first performances made in virtual reality in the early nineties of the last century. However, sound stays as a key element in any immersive experience.
Contemporary and experimental audiovisual creation processes often break down boundaries between formats, thereby exploring new layers of meaning and uncovering new possibilities for the listening. For this reason, within the activities programmed at the festival and in collaboration with Medialab Matadero, we have on one hand, Thomas Aussenac and Arthur Vincent from Sound Object, who will give a workshop on sound design for extended realities, and on the other, a series of presentations by some of the artists taking part on the festival, who will tell us about their creative processes in virtual and immersive sound environments.
Following similar events organised in previous editions of the festival dedicated to communities and working groups with an interest in extended reality that began with Planet L.E.V. Matadero, we would like to invite students and professionals related to extended realities and virtual environments development, or simply those curious about these creative tools in digital contexts to register for both the workshop and the talks.
