Selçuk Artut at Dystopie sound art festival, Berlin (04/10/2018)
Selçuk Artut’s sound installation “Estranged Music”, featured at the Dystopie sound art festival in Berlin, takes a look at an imaginative future where the creative sources behind musical composition have been taken over by computer systems. A sudden accident causes all recorded history of musical practices to be erased. In direct contrast to the machine-learning paradigm, people then attempt to learn from machines how to compose music. The festival takes place at several locations throughout Berlin between 21–30 September 2018.
