YEN TZU CHANG | "THE OLD FRIENDS"
Yen Tzu Chang is an artist with abundant experience in transferring ideas related to her memory and critical issues into artworks. She has given performances and exhibited at many international conferences and festivals, such as Ars Electronica Festival, roBOt 08 Festival, Linux Audio Conference, ISEA or Digital Design Weekend in London.Yen Tzu Chang had a hobby, which was to collect toys when she was a child. Rather than plastic dolls and robots, she only preferred stuffed toys which can reduce her anxiety. The more stuffed toys she collected, the more secure she felt. To investigate this past, she brings out the old stuffed toys to current life in her performance "The Old Friends". An instrument is heaped up with memories. It is also a medium to reconstruct the childhood. What she used to do with these old friends - talking, singing, dubbing, touching, squeezing, are represented in the electronic instrument as a performance.

JULIA DEL RÍO | "COMMUNICATION NOISE"
Julia del Río explores diverse artistic strategies for interaction within electromagnetic fields, especially in sound performance. Her concerts translate us sonically the invisible world of interference and magnetism without musical compromises. Sound is here always result of an interchange and of various acts of digital communication. She will present the work "Communication Noise", a participatory audio-visual performance where the artist sonifies the electromagnetic waste produced by cellphone interaction. +34 690 322 958
JENS VETTER | "KANALKAPAZITÄT"
Jens Vetter is a German artist, active in the field of sound-art, interactive sound-objects, stage-performances with musical and non-musical tools. His artistic practice is driven by curiosity for social dynamics, inconveniences as liberation, exaltation of details and displacement as method. He uses different tools and media to convey his ideas, which reflects his interest in tools themselves as well as their technical or conceptional potential or limitations. His latest works include installations, stage-performances and algorithmic composition shown in Ars Electronica Festival, Kiblix Festival and Gallery Memphis Linz. His recent projects are dealing with concepts such as observation and saturation in the context of sound research.
