Sahar Homami (IR/CA/DE) – fanaa

Inspired by 12th-century Persian-Sufi poet Attar’s book The Conference of the Birds, Sahar Homami’s fanaa (فنا fanā) is based on a mystical concept referring to passing away or the annihilation of the self.

fanaa explores the breaking down of the ego and the recognition of the fundamental unity of everything that exists within the self. In four chapters (Arrival, Dissolution, Absolute Nothingness, and Rebirth), this audiovisual journey interweaves elements of Persian calligraphy, mystical philosophy and generative art, entrancing into a poetic journey.

fanaa is part of a larger project which consists of a concert piece, an installation, prints and a screening version.

Tryphème & Ulysse Lefort (FR) – Live A/V

Tryphème’s music manages to draw on our last remaining heartstrings and make them vibrate. The strength of this autodidact lies in the emotional purity of her hybrid music, between industrial cold, electronic minutia and synthetic sensualities.

For the visual part of her multi-faceted show, Tryphème collaborates with Ulysse Lefort, a digital artist who creates a perfect synchronization between image and sound with the help of deep learning and GAN (Generative Adversarial Network, i.e. an artificial intelligence designed as a machine learning system).
