Jam Session: Shaken Grounds

As part of Lange Nacht der Forschung [the Long Night of Research], Shaken Grounds. Seismography of Precarious Presences presents a three-hour public jam session at AIL.

This transdisciplinary artistic research project explores the interconnections between geological, social, and psychological tremors and examines how unstable environmental conditions are inscribed in bodies, perceptions, and social contexts.

In an open experimental studio, text, performance, live editing, live sound composition, costume elements, set design elements, and objects come together in a free interplay.

This jam session makes the project’s working methods immediately tangible: seismography is understood here not only as a scientific method, but also as an artistic practice of perception, recording, and establishing connections.

For the research team, the format offers an opportunity to recombine artistic materials, questions, and content and to further develop them in the process. At the same time, the session is designed as an open space for engagement: the audience is invited to gain insights into the artistic research, ask questions, and engage in conversation with the team. Throughout the event, individual participants will be available for discussion and conversation.

By and with:

Nikolaus Gansterer, Mariella Greil, Victor Jaschke, Peter Kozek, Werner Moebius, Lucie Strecker

This event is also part of the experimental studio, which the research project Shaken Grounds. Seismography of Precarious Presences is setting up at AIL during April.
