- Psst.one was born with the intent to contribute to the creation of a legacy, related to the field of the 'visualist'. In october 2017 Passt.one was founded as a web channel focused on weekly video interviews about the artists involved in all aspects related to the audio/video field. The purpose of Psst.one project and its presence on the web is to eventually create a digital archive giving the possibility to have a history and at the same time be inspired from the other artistic realities present into the A/V world. Psst.one is the place where the ‘faces’ of the visual world are shown. + Pascal Glissmann is a designer, media artist, and educator based in New York. His research-driven practice explores the increasingly osmotic membrane between the natural and the artificial. +His research project “electronic-life-forms” (electronic-life-forms.com) — in collaboration with Martina Hoefflin — inhabits the intersection of art, science, and technology to explore the fascination for artificial life and its principles through site-specific installations. The swarms of sculptural subjects that populate public spaces are not based on high-tech data-driven computational systems. Instead, they combine basic electronic concepts with methods of handcraft to seamlessly merge with natural habitats. Observers decide at what point the artificial starts and if that distinction is needed at all. +This interest in the role of the observer and how disciplinary practices of “seeing” shape what we know today inspired Glissmann to co-found the Observational Practices Lab (observationalpractices.org) at Parsons School of Design, New York, in 2016 with his colleague Selena Kimball. In this context, he is currently investigating methodologies of 17th/18th century naturalists and contemporary machine learning models (speculativemineralogy.org). +Glissmann received a Bachelor of Communication Design from the University of Applied Sciences Duesseldorf and an MFA from the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. He has exhibited his work in group shows at various international venues including Ars Electronica, Miró Foundation Mallorca, Kiasma Helsinki, Palazzo delle Arti Napoli, and the New Media Art Festival Japan. He is currently Assistant Professor at Parsons School of Design New York, School of Art, Media, and Technology.

- Andrea Familiari, creator of Psst.one will speak about the intention of his channel. Developments over the last year and plans for the next season. His talk will be followed by a group discussion, where we can gather ideas around the audiovisual community's needs in Berlin in general. + In his presentation Pascal Glissmann will talk about Artificial Life, Electronic Handcraft, Observational Practices, Transdisciplinary Collaboration, Anthropogenic Substances, Machine Learning @@ -96,7 +99,7 @@ - @@ -120,19 +123,18 @@ valign="top">

- - Anna Z + + Michael Reiley McDermott

- Born beyond the Arctic Circle in the Komi Republic-USSR Anna Z´s first visual experiences emerged from an environment whose images were marked by the northern lights, the snow, the dark and dense forests and the animals within. Very early she started taking several art curses, while she enjoyed an education that was specialized on mathematics and physics. She gained a deeper insight into the world of sound, frequencies and music in the most intimate way by learning several instruments with a focus on guitar. -Her art comes from the most different experiments, including, programming, hardware, drawing, photographies, oil and acrylic painting, all this with the music in mind. Besides experimenting with the following programs: quartz composer, max, processing, grasshopper, adobe programs, ableton live. She started making music on her own. Working with Reaktor and Cycling 74, she is creating her own instruments. + Michael Reiley McDermott is a composer, musician, coder and sound designer. He has created works for video, dance, stage, installation, smartphones, multi-speaker arrays, wind sculptures, wishing wells and sleeping/dreaming. His practice explores the relationship between present moment awareness, deep time and humanity's personal connection through listening. His work integrates a daily practice of meditation, Deep Listening and textured sound worlds through a process he calls “sonic photography”. This process involves site-specific recordings of physical spaces re-imagined using photographic development and collage techniques. His aim is to reframe the everyday world as both a grand statement that stretches out in both directions of time and as an ephemeral instant of precious connection.

- Anna will speak about her background, collaboration in different media, the theory of limits in visual art and music and synthesis script of music and visuals. + Michael will be presenting some of his work and talking about the nested rings of meditative states in the swirling expanding sphere of listening consciousness. Also some iPad apps he uses to make music. @@ -161,7 +163,87 @@ Her art comes from the most different experiments, including, programming, hardw - + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
