Nightline program↗


Starting with Lament by Mitsitron, a performance for mourning in public and a chance to reconnect with sonic traditions, from the perspective of flat modernised ears. Followed by unchattering by Orangetronic, who, in opposition to the LLM-powered human-machine conversation, makes a modular synthesiser improvisation in a contemplative mode, to create a space for reflection and introspection. In a sensitive play, guided by deep listening, Arnica Montana improvises with electronic modules following their unpredictability and playing with their limitations. Afterwards, as a kind of live cinema, MSHR presents the audiovisual performance Network Entity, using a designed digital system that correlates visual and sound parameters as compositions for video projection and four-channel sound. In transition to the algorave, Jens Vetter presents his live coding piece Can Algorithms Fly, using his self-developed live coding language „Welle“. 
As the algorithms spin faster, the machine begins to twist, reaching its wish to tell words that become music. Living pseudographics is the duo of Adel Faure (visual) and Ralt144MI (sound). Their live-coded performance explores technological archiving, weaving intricate rhythmic patterns with animated text-based visuals, using a real-time shared data dispositive. Followed by 3NCRYPT1NG SM1L3Y F4C3S, a live-coding performance by map(h) (aka. Sule Suarez and Gorka Egino), where the duo playfully explores the notion of unreadability in the context of live-coding. Questioning what happens if the code is encrypted for the audience and artists, they use emoticons to create ambiguity and a potential collapse of the computer-human interaction. 
The continuity is restored with Lil Data, the hyperpop live coding PC Music project of the musician and researcher Jack Armitage, which unfolds into a collective jam You must delete, orchestrated by Pastagang, where everyone can participate by visiting Nudel, Pastagang’s jamming website, or via laptops in the room. The line between performer and audience becomes blurry, and the possibilities of anything happening expand. The performance ends with Pastagang’s tool, Nudel, getting deleted from the internet.
