If you could choose a sonic memory to heal, forget or replace in your mind, which
memory would that be?
With the help of futuristic artificial intelligence, an imaginary machine uses non invasive
technology to directly interface with the human brain, gaining access to the sounds of
their past. In turn, sonic memories of the past, present and future can be synthesized by
the machine to be [re]experience by the user in the realm of the memories, fiction and reality
are intertwined into a single experience.
Here, two correlated sound layers blend the seemingly real and the imaginary.
The growing sonic archive of memories is a network of personal relationships. Visitors
are invited on site to share a memory of their own, contributing by feeding new input to
the expanding archive.
About the Artists:
Moana Holenstein
Hello. I am a new media artist and sound person from Zurich, but I have had the pleasure
to call many places “home”. As an inherent audiophile, I am currently concerned with
exploring diverse sonic perspectives of human and non-human listeners. My practice
includes work with field recordings, found footage, and primarily subtractive synthesis
which I use to build collages in the form of generative and interactive systems, as well as
multichannel/binaural audio experiences. Working as a scientific research assistant for
the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunication has sparked my interest in the future
development of immersive audio technology and the effects of human-induced noise
pollution. In my artistic practice, I benefit from experience with empirical research and
vice versa. Other recent works focus on the intersection and interaction between humans,
nature, and technology. I hope to contribute ideas and solutions that will benefit all three.

Victor Burton
Electro-instrumental composer, sound engineer and rhythmicist from Montréal. Victor
composes music with specific considerateness for oblique rhythmic structures,
unconventional notation techniques, indeterminacy and site-specificity. He curated and
documented the concert series experior, an event in which Montréal-based musicians of
seemingly contrasting milieux presented their new creations and recent explorations.
During the summer of 2020, he organised 15 outdoor sessions of rhythmic investigations
derived from concepts developed by German drummer Jaki Liebezeit. At times, he coacts
in dance projects and contributes sonically to video work.
