As part of the »bangaloREsidency-Expanded« of the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore, the media artist Sultana Zana and the artist, biohacker and musician Yashas Shetty will present their projects.
The goal of the residency initiative »bangaloREsidency-Expanded« of the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore is to establish a long-term artistic exchange between India and Germany in order to create new approaches to the artistic practice of the respective other culture. In the context of an open call, Indian artists were invited to apply for a residency at the ZKM | Hertz-Lab in early 2020. An Indian-German jury selected two outstanding project proposals by Sultana Zana and Yashas Shetty, which will be realized starting in February 2022.
Inspired by computer music à la Curtis Roads, media artist Sultana Zana has experimented in recent years with techniques including micro sound synthesis and composed fractal soundscapes based on granular sound particles. At the Hertz-Lab, Zana will create an expansive sound composition, for the development of which she will first explore different forms of non-human sound perception and translate the insights gained into generative audio patches and new codes.
Yashas Shetty is an Indian artist, biohacker and musician who creates art, music and musical instruments using scientific materials such as biotechnology, visual programming languages and interactive media. Shetty has already received a prize award at ZKM in 2017 for his media art work »The Nine Billion Names of God« as part of the competition "What does the internet hear?".
