Seminar with George Moraitis

(For ASFA students only / In Greek)

Sonic Sculpture Seminar

Τhe seminar follows the development of sound as an artistic medium and illustrates how sound is put to use within modes of installation, composition, and performance. An artistic practice that is not limited to the use of sound as an expressive medium but instead, it questions the nature of sound as a relational, social and linguistic process. Sound is not investigated as a pure perceptual phenomenon, but inserted into processes of meaning or through direct intervention in the sphere of everyday, crossing time to time issues related to space and architecture, language, memory, interpretation, and the legacy of musical experimentation of the 20th Century.

Where & when: @ViZ Laboratory for Visual Culture, 3 December 11:00 – 14:00, 4 December 11:00 – 14:00

About George Moraitis

George Moraitis was born in 1989. He lives and works in Athens. He is a graduate of the School of Fine Arts οf Athens (2008-2014) where he studied painting with Panos Charalambous. He has participated in group exhibitions in Greece and abroad. He uses different practices (sculpture, robotics and interactive installations, participatory actions, happenings in public spaces, drawing, texts, etc.). In order to explore the boundaries of the creative, research and philosophical process, through sound as well as a wide range of media, he configures sound-iconoclastic situations as a mixture of peculiarities of perception, technology and materials. His great interest in sound focuses on his involvement with acoustic and psychoacoustic themes as well as themes related to the body, sculpture, video and a set of other themes related to the modern trends of science, which construct a contemporary dialogue in visual arts.
