Composing Composing Instruments

This exposition aims to provide insights into my artistic practice and research 'Tipping Points', working within the field of live electronics and focusing on the exploration of tipping points in chaotic processes. The activities associated with my practice are profoundly interdisciplinary and include designing and buildinginstruments, composing artistic works for these instruments, and performing with them. Each of these aspects are interlaced and equally important in the development of new artistic works. The preface details my process in the production of new artistic works. Then the text details my thoughts on the term comprovisation and how it informs my approaches to the development of my work. Then the focus shifts to describe how my use of chaotic processes turns instruments into actant technologies which has important consequences on both my performance practice and instrument design. These insights are then illustrated through reflections on my work Multiple Minds, concluding that the instrument itself is actively composing, while at the same time, the act of designing and building an instrument can be viewed as composing.

Situating Personal Values in Artistic Practice: Towards a Reflective and Reflexive Framework
(2022)
author(s): Annick Odom
published in: KC Research Portal
In what ways can a musician use reflexivity and reflection to situate her personal values in her artistic practice? To answer this question and put the results into practice, the author combined archival and digital research, interviews, and fieldwork. By combining new and found materials inspired by Appalachian folk music and the state of West Virginia, the connected auto-ethnographic case study is a reflective attempt of the author to engage critically with her personal values of empathy, inclusion, and equity in her artistic practice. Using the reflective lenses of the author’s autobiography as an artist, the audience’s reactions, fellow artists comments, and literature review, she was better able to reflexively see her own assumptions and missteps, better allowing her to situate her personal values within her artistic practice. Besides creating a reflective framework by which other artists could consider their own artistic practice, she also found that by taking on new roles outside that of the traditional classically trained performer, she had a greater agency to influence and understand performance elements such as design and form, materials, context, audience, and production process.

This exposition contains two video pieces that mirror each other (Two rooms and a kitchen 2010, Reflections in a window pane 2012) and an essay originally published in the Finnish-language audiovisual-culture journal Lähikuva 3/2013. The essay and the videos are part of my article-based doctoral thesis Laatukuvia ja kirjallisia kokeiluja/ Genre pictures and experiments in writing (University of the Arts Helsinki, Academy of Fine Arts 2017).

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Here is my critical analysis of two artistic products that I worked on during the first trimester. I will closely examine a 15-minute short film titled Debt, a group collaborative product that I was the director of, followed by a short film script Mother No Mother, which I developed from week 2 of the trimester as the writer. Last but not least, I'll discuss how I created the one-man film Rainchester using a 360-degree camera as part of the experimentation process

This page is part of TAAT's Live Archive. It's an attempt to structure the archival material of the project HALL33. We focus on scripting a specific workshop-performance that took place Match 10-11th in Vilnius, Lithuania. For this workshop-performance embedded researcher Siebren Nachtergaele (UGent/HOGent) was part of the team as an inside/outside eye in co-assembling of this script/archive page. This page functions as a residu of an embodied and reflective proces, visually meandering between action and extraction. TAAT is founded in 2012 by Gert-Jan Stam and Breg Horemans.
