Dublin Laptop Orchestra The Dublin Laptop Orchestra makes music with lots of laptops, hands, golf controllers, and hemispherical speakers. Our aim is to bring some theatricality and ‘physical presence’ into electronic music performance. We do this by creating software instruments that require movement and skill from performers and encourage interaction and improvisation. Dublin Laptop Orchestra are Alex Dowling, Jenn Kirby, Rachel Ní Chuinn, David Collier, Enda Gallery, Tara Lewis, Emma O’Halloran, Saramai Leech, Amanda Feery and Mark Rooney

Slavek Kwi Slavek Kwi is sound-artist, composer and researcher whose main interest lies in the phenomena of perception as the fundamental determinant of relations with Reality. He has been fascinated by sound-environments for the last 30 years, focusing on electroacoustic sound-paintings. These complex audio-situations are created mainly from site specific recordings, resulting in subjective reports for radio-broadcast, “cinema for ears” performed on multiple speakers, sound-installations integrated into the environment and performances. His works oscillates between purely sound-based and multidisciplinary projects. From the early nineties Slavek has operated under the name Artificial Memory Trace.

Cobi Van Tonder Cobi van Tonder is a South African born composer, electronic artist and lecturer, currently undertaking a practice based PhD in the Art and Technology Research Lab in Trinity College Dublin. Her music, sound art and inter-media works range from networked acoustic explorations, to traditional instrumental works, to video installations and projections – the main focus always the listening experience. Works revolve around sound perception, multi-channel computer-generated composition, networked sound, acoustic studies, tools and methods for the control of spatiality in sound. The recursive theme in works are how they create, challenge and reinvent conceptions of the audio-physical experience of spaces and objects whilst maintaining a sense of mystery and beauty. Van Tonder has also produced commercially for cinema, television, radio, and mobile media before commencing academic studies at a later age.

NORA O’ MURCHÚ: THE HACK OF CURATING
My practice of curating is exercised outside the traditional confines of the museum and gallery and is largely influenced by DIY and open source processes. By blurring the lines between hacking and curation, my approach is to engage audiences through participatory platforms. In my curatorial work, I place an emphasis on building communities and providing structures to support them.

In this talk, I will describe a number of my curatorial experiments and how practices prevalent in the open source communities are influencing curatorial paradigms in visual arts.

Bio: Nora O Murchú is a curator and researcher. Her PhD research looks at open source methods and the visual arts, and how as a curator and facilitator of projects can implement an open source methodology into her practice.

She is the founder and director of Tweak – an interactive digital festival, which is a platform for digital arts in Ireland. She is currently a research fellow at the Interaction Research Studio in Goldsmiths University.
