Hardi Kurda is composer, sound artist, improviser and PhD candidate at Goldsmiths, University of London.

It is an already existed composition of data and information from everyday materials and objects that selects through speculative listening. A specific listening experience when Hardi explored in the time of crisis, during his illegal journey to Europe in 2002. He listened frequently for four days to radio frequencies to find an alternative world, which was urgent and illegal. Therefore, he experiments with radio and frequencies as an instrument, score and sound materials for his works to create other listening experiences.

Kapsel IV - Nachtstreifzug des Drachenpferds
Discussion about Science-Fiction from China
With Ken Liu, Xia Jia, Tim Holland and Lea Schneider
Welcome to the future! For their fourth discussion at Acud Studio, Kapsel magazine invited writers Xia Jia and Ken Liu - both prominent figures in the realm of the contemporary Chinese science fiction scene. With writers Tim Holland and Lea Schneider they will talk about the poetics of science fiction literature.
Die Redaktion der Zeitschrift Kapsel lädt zur vierten Diskussion ihrer Reihe über Science-Fiction aus China. Am 19. September ergründen wir im ACUD Studio die Sprache und Sinnbilder in der chinesischen Science-Fiction-Literatur. Wir fragen, welche Rolle die Poetik im digitalen Zeitalter spielen kann.
Wir freuen uns sehr, die Autorin und Wissenschaftlerin Xia Jia, den Übersetzer und Autoren Ken Liu sowie den Lyriker Tim Holland ab 16H begrüßen zu dürfen. Moderieren wird die Sinologin und Autorin Lea Schneider. Dolmetscherin ist Susanne Becker-Gonnella.
Ausgangspunkt der Diskussion ist die Kurzgeschichte „Nachtstreifzug des Drachenpferds“ (龙马夜行) der Schriftstellerin Xia Jia (*1984) aus Xi’an. Die Ästhetik dieser Erzählung zeugt von Xia Jias Schreibkunst. In einer postapokalyptischen Welt lebt ein Roboter, halb Pferd, halb Drache, der nicht zwischen Traum und Realität unterscheiden kann. Auf seiner Reise trifft das Drachenpferd eine Fledermaus. Die neue Weggefährtin liebt die Poesie und sagt ihm im Austausch für Geschichten von früher chinesische Gedichte auf.
Weiteren Gesprächsstoff liefert die Kurzgeschichte „Wie andere Spezies Bücher machen“ (The Bookmaking Habits of Select Species) des Schriftstellers Ken Liu (*1976) aus Boston. Verschiedene außerirdische Spezies und ihre Praktiken der Buchproduktion stehen im Zentrum der Erzählung. Der Text spielt mit verschiedenen Formen von Sprache und Kommunikation.
Die beiden Geschichten werden zwei Wochen vor dem Nachmittag als Podcast veröffentlicht.
Sprache: Deutsch (Chinesisch wird gedolmetscht)

Birdsongs of a hyperorganism by Marte Roel & Ary Ehrenberg
Birdsongs of a hyperorganism
Live cinema performance & artist talks
by Marte Roel (MX/CH) & Ary Ehrenberg (MX)
Sunday, July 12th, 9pm-11pm CEST
ABOUT
Exactly four months after the shutdown in March due to the Corona pandemic, the two Mexican artists Marte Roel (based in Zurich, CH) and Ary Ehrenberg (based in Mexico City, MX) will present a newly developed live cinema performance, engaging and taking the audience deep into the blurry areas where nature and technology, language and nonverbal communication overlap to become indistinguishable. So, for as long as physically immersing oneself into environments and situations created by artists to explore embodied knowledge outside the norm we know and deal with in our everyday lives and activities will remain impossible: how can this look and feel like in a remote and virtual setting, not being together in the same room but connected through the life stream? Resonating strongly with the topics and questions that COLLECTIVE PRACTICES aims to address in its exploration #KNOWLEDGES, both artists work at the intersection of art, science and technology, and have been exploring and approaching these bodies of knowledge from the perspective of the western scientific canon, as well as through their artistic practice. Their work evolves around “a queer theory of knowing” by exploring notions and concepts like alienation, nonverbal communication and the liquid body through concepts and methods such as binaural sounds or near space interaction, playing with perception through the reconfiguration of the codes that build our reality.
The live cinema performance Birdsongs of a hyperorganism thus is a reflection of our ontological history and possible futures. From an animist universe filled with consciousness to its stripping-off of life to exist as inanimate matter, and our current state of potential revival. Ary Ehrenberg and Marte Roel perform this multisensory live cinema work remembering us that our bodies melt with the envi

Scham gilt es zu überwinden: Die Lese-Performance-Gesprächsreihe Let’s talk about class bahnt Wege aus dem Klassenkrampf.
Am 18. Juni sind Stefanie de Velasco, Christian Baron und Alina Kolar zu Gast im ACUD. Sie sprechen mit Daniela Dröscher und Michael Ebmeyer über Klasse, Klima und Kunst, über Gewalterfahrungen und Sektenleben, über Ausbrüche und Aufbrüche.
"Dass ich Journalist werden konnte, lag nicht in erster Linie an Fleiß oder Talent. Es lag daran, dass ich Schulden in Kauf nahm, dass ich Unsicherheiten aushielt – vor allem aber lag es daran, dass ich die ‚richtigen‘ Leute traf. Zufall und Mut statt Neugier und Bildungshunger. So läuft das in der Klassengesellschaft.”
