Get into the groove for four exciting presentations by international artists and creative minds. Each talk is followed by a 10 minute Q&A opportunity.

JACOB LOMMATZSCH – 17:30
Jacob Lommatzsch, a Leipzig-based lighting and sound technician with a Media Technology degree from HTWK Leipzig, presents his bachelor’s project: an immersive, interactive 360° installation created with support from Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig. The work invited audiences to “reach for the stars” through spatial sound and dynamic visuals. In his talk, Jacob will outline the software and hardware setup, discuss the technical and creative challenges he faced, and share the most valuable lessons from the process.

ANTOINE GOLDSCHMIDT – 18:15
Brussels-based artist Antoine Goldschmidt creates immersive audiovisual works exploring the interplay of space, light, and matter. Trained as an engineer and scenographer, he is known for using light and technology in projects that engage audiences directly. As founder and artistic director of Magicstreet Studio, he sculpts and controls light into intense, contemplative compositions. His installations and audiovisual works have been presented across Europe and internationally at festivals, museums, public spaces, and major cultural events.

 

AUSGANG STUDIO – 18:40
AUSGANG studio, led by Alex and Radovan, creates immersive audiovisual works exploring the interplay between digital and physical realities. Their practice reflects on technological progress, environmental processes, and the duality of reality and virtuality, shaping experiences where time and space are influenced by the strongest medium—digital. By merging these elements, they transform installation spaces into surprising, contemplative environments, inviting visitors to engage with both the physical and digital layers of their work, and to experience a seamless dialogue between presence and perception.
  

ALEX AUGIER – 19:15
French electronic composer and audiovisual artist Alex Augier creates immersive works at the intersection of sound, visuals, and space. His practice explores the interplay of audio, image, and technology, shaping multidimensional performances that merge music and visuals into a cohesive, sensorial language. Using bespoke digital setups—including 3D spatialized sound, generative visuals, and modular synthesis—he crafts striking audiovisual experiences. His works have been presented internationally at festivals and venues such as Mutek, TodaysArt, Sónar, Ars Electronica, and Gaîté Lyrique.
