AURA is a concert series exploring the new relationships emerging in music through innovative system design. The series is curated by Halla Steinunn Stefánsdóttir on the occasion of the Steina: Playback exhibition.

All three events open the doors to ongoing experiments. First out is a project which results from a tight-knit, long-term collaboration between Nordic Affect, Halla Steinunn Stefánsdóttir, the Intelligent Instrument Lab and Davíð Brynjar Franzson.

They introduce a disembodied other—a musical intelligence capable of learning and responding. Two separate scenarios explore the emergence of a performance practice and the decentring of the creative hierarchy between performer, creator, and technology. The first examines how meaning and order accumulate through this other in a work that learns itself into existence throughout the rehearsal process. The second explores how memory and sensation collide as performer and technological other share an instrument, mediated through feedback.

Admission with museum ticket. Free for Annual pass- and Culture Card holders, free for visitors under 18.
