Barbara Lüneburg & Marko Ciciliani: Drifts in Power
In this program, Barbara Lüneburg & Marko Ciciliani will perform works that directly emerged from two different larger projects in the field of artistic research. "Slices of Life" (2014-17) emerged from Barbara’s artistic-research project Transcoding, in which she developed a multimedia work in collaboration with an online community over the period of several years. Marko’s compositions "Kilgore" and "Formula minus One" resulted from the investigation of the artistic potential of elements from computer games in the context of audiovisual composition, which is the focus of the research project GAPPP (Gamified Audiovisual Performance and Performance Practice).

In its framework she composed two major artworks in collaboration with an online community.
