CYBERSONICA INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF DIGITAL MUSIC AND SOUND Performance / Exhibition / Installation/ Symposium Wednesday 5TH- Friday 7TH June 2002 ICA (INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS) The Mall London SW1Y 5AH www.cybersonica.org www.cybersalon.org . Cybersonica is a three-day festival at the ICA dedicated to defining the frontiers of electronic sound culture. A snapshot of the current significant work in sonic art, Cybersonica captures the essence of this emerging, evolving medium. Creating new forms at the interface between us and new technology, pushing the limits of accepted concepts of music and sound as an art form. The festival brings together the whole community of sonic innovation from performers, artists, DJs and VJs to designers, academics, broadcasters and record companies. Cybersonica consists of four elements: Performance, Exhibition, Installation and Symposium. Headliners for `Performance' are three leading experimenters who step over the cutting edge unscathed, with intelligence and humour. Berlin's POLE (5th June) tweaks and conjures elliptical melodic fragments and crackling dub drenched loops on the `abstract textures' night. Sonic terrorist BOMB 20 (6th June – `Digital Noise and Cut- Up'), also from the Berlin underground, delivers an anti- establishment message with cinematic vocal samples, distortion and feedback in a hip-hop framework, exploding previous aesthetic sensibilities. Conceptual artist, writer, academic and musician, Paul D. Miller aka DJ SPOOKY (THAT SUBLIMINAL KID) is a major player in New York's digital arts scene. Expect an eclectic selection of tunes >from Senegalese hip-hop to nu-jazz poetry creating a post-modern sound sculpture (7th June – `idiosyncratic electronica'). The theme of each night is supported by DJs in the ICA bar. Cybersonica is supported by CARTE, University of Westminster.
