About this exposition

Contingency and Synchronization is a series of artistic research works by Luc Döbereiner and David Pirrò, exploring the relation between deterministic synchronization algorithms and contingency. Each iteration in this series renegotiates this relation and attempts to connect computation, site and listening in ways specific to the material format (live performance, spatial installation, web-based installation, visualization, closed-off rendering). We are interested in the emergence of sonic forms from the interaction of deterministic algorithms and the contingency of their material performance, which includes their connection to spaces, performers, listeners and machines. We use algorithms that have a strong internal telos in order to let the generative power of disturbances and deviations unfold. The tools and setups we develop render internal and external contingency perceptible in certain intended ways, which can be said to limit the radical otherness of contingency. At the same time, it is only through this form of aesthetic transposition or translation that we can explore and expose the contigency of our material. The encounter of these two opposed tendencies creates singularities that constitute the works of this series. This collaboration started during Luc's residency in the context of the ALMAT project, but has since developed further. The works we collect here take multiple forms. e,g textual, auditory, visual etc. and employ multiple perspectives: conceptual, reflective, scientific, technological, phenomenological, aesthetic etc. Each of these layers has its own autonomy but affects the other layers. These artefacts should help to trace the process we have followed.
