Cross-disciplinary approaches in time-based art

Valentina Besegher Scotti (visual artist, curator) and Alessandro Massobrio (composer, developer) will talk about their artistic research and the interdisciplinary outcomes of their joint project Labor Neunzehn, at the crossroads of time-based art practices. Selected works by the duo will be presented and discussed in terms of the organization of the material (sound installation, live audiovisual performance, video art), while an overview of their personal research on topics such as the space of resonance, the use of the archive, and found footage will be offered. Extracts, including scores, sketches, video and sound recordings, will support the presentation.

Labor Neunzehn is an artist and curator duo based in Berlin in the eponymous project space since 2015. Since then the duo has been engaged in a cross-disciplinary discourse that involves expanded cinema, music composition, publishing, and critical reflection in the field of media art, with a specific reference to the migration of these languages between the online and the offline domains.
