IMA | lab No. 2: Matthias Ockert und Hugo Paquete

IMA | lab is the new workshop format taking place on a regular basis at the Institute for Music and Acoustics (every third Thursday of the month). At IMA | lab, the institute’s international guest composers, who create new works at ZKM during one- to three-month working grants, will be presented in word and sound; new aesthetic and technological approaches will be discussed; and scholars will be invited to comment on electronic works. The aim is a continuous discourse on pressing issues in electronic music related to aesthetics and technology, on the basis of concrete themes, such as that of “multi-medialness” in IMA | lab nr.2, featuring the new opera project by Karlsruhe composer Matthias Ockert and an installation by Portuguese media artist Hugo Paquete.
