Electronic Pirouettes: Sound as Movement in Circuitry by Ioana Vreme Moser
On Monday, 11 April at 10 am PDT we had the pleasure of virtually spending an hour with Romanian-born, Berlin-based artist Ioana Vreme Moser. Ioana visited DXARTS 472 Mechatronic Art, Design and Fabrication II and talked about her work with electronics, radio transmitters and receivers, fluid computers, cosmetic synthesizers and electronic lollipops. Her talk, Electronic Pirouettes: Sound as Movement in Circuitry, tackled the seductive side and hidden narratives of circuitry in relation to natural systems, salty fluids and beauty rituals and discussed the importance of lo-fi hardware in the context of a global electronic shortage.
A few words about Ioana:
Ioana Vreme Moser is a Romanian transmedia narrator and a sound artist engaged with hardware electronics, speculative research and DIY experimentation. She places electronic components and control voltages in different situations of interaction with organic materials, lost and found items and environmental stimuli. Her works are dominated by technological artefacts, bits and pieces of garbage, intimate objects and low-tech that resound in diagrams, installations, sound sculptures, hand-made instruments or sound-performance setups. Active mainly in Eastern Europe, she has been closely engaged with the Electroacoustic Music Studio Krakow (PL), kinema ikon multimedia Atelier Arad (RO) and Simultan, Media Art Association, Timisoara (RO).Amongst others, she has performed and exhibited at the singuhr Projekte, Berlin (DE), National Gallery of Denmark (DK), STATE Studio, Berlin (DE); SFX - Sound Effects Seoul (KR), STWST Sleep48 - Ars Electronica (AT), Bunkier Sztuki Gallery Krakow (PL); Eigen+Art Lab - Transmediale, Berlin (DE). Currently, Ioana is living and working in T10, an artist community in Berlin.
