ALMAT @ ZKM - Algorithmic Spaces by Hanns Holger Rutz

Algorithmic Spaces was a collaboration between Algorithms that Matter (ALMAT) and Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (ZKM), taking place in December 2018 within ZKM's festival inSonic. We selected talks and pieces based on a call works engaging with the space and spatialities of computational processes. Are there inherent spatial properties to algorithms? For example, what is the relationship between the iterations of code, the behaviour of multi-agent systems, the exploration of databases, and their inscription into the perceptual, auditive space? We were interested in pieces that use generative processes to produce space, rather then applying a secondary “spatialisation” procedure. We were looking for approaches that treat spatiality as a critical phenomenon emerging from the work with algorithms, for sonic artefacts that probe concepts of spatiality through embedding in algorithmic processes.

Jonathan Reus will present some traces of his current research as part of Algorithms that Matter. What follows is a lecture-performance of in situ research, enacting work that is in progress and openly improvisatory, exploring a collasge of computational speech analysis, live coding, memory and storytelling.
