Open Call – ψ (psi)

Open Call – ψ (psi)

Friday 1st Dec 2023 — Sunday 31st Dec 2023

The second Open Call for the PSI project is currently accepting applications.

 

PSI is a series of sessions focused on sound conceived as an experience and expression of senses, feelings, and bodily interests (movement, energy, stillness, body memory, body expression, dance). Sound is a starting point of the dialogue and curation of mediums incorporated in the session.

 

The next session will take place on 12 January 2024 at Fabrica. The genres are: into-dimensional journey, techno passageways, forgotten beat, twists and turns, electronic odysseys, layered rhythms, ethereal patterns, let your body flow.

 

Topic

 

Delta (Δ, δ) is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. River delta is a triangular area where a major river divides into several smaller parts that usually flow into a larger body of water. Delta is a symbol of change, transformation, the journey of the soul.

 

Can you hear the metallic stream flowing in your ears?

 

Uncertainty in a physical variable as seen in the uncertainty principle. This principle is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. It states that there is a limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, can be simultaneously known. In other words, the more accurately one property is measured, the less accurately the other property can be known. 

 

Is improvisation the reflection of a particular space and time? From whose point of view are we observing? Are we also being observed back? 

 

“Randomness is a reflection of our ignorance of some fundamental property of reality.” – Albert Einstein 

 

“Observation cannot create an element of reality like a position, there must be something contained in the complete description of physical reality which corresponds to the possibility of observing a position, already before the observation has been actually made.” – Letter from Pauli to Niels Bohr, February 15, 1955.

How do we direct our gaze? What is the relationship between subjective/objective interpretation? Is there a possibility to be subjective in the current time?
