Sonic Acts
The Sonic Acts Festival had its first edition in 1994. Over the years, it has established itself as a thematic festival with a strong focus on contemporary and historical developments at the intersections of art, technology, music and science taking place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The festival has invited many well known artists, musicians such as the Vasulkas, Autechre,[1] Pauline Oliveros, Florian Hecker, Jana Winderen and theorists and scientists such as Graham Harman, Saskia Sassen, Tim Morton, Susan Schuppli, Raphael Bousso, George Dyson. Each festival edition explores the chosen theme by means of an international conference, a wide range of concerts and performances, exhibitions and screenings, and embraces a broad spectrum of fields, practices and disciplines. More recently, Sonic Acts has developed into an organisation for the research, development and production of works at the intersection of art, science and theory. It also commissions and co-produces new works, often in collaboration with international festivals, arts organisations, funders and other partners.
The 16th edition of Sonic Acts took place in 2015 in Amsterdam at Paradiso, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam en Muziekgebouw aan het IJ and OT301.
