How to Make the Future Unpredictable | 25% PhD seminar with Yann Coppier
13 February 2025, at 13:00
Welcome to Yann Coppier's 25% PhD seminar in Artistic Research in Music which includes a discussion with opponent Palle Dahlstedt, Professor in Interaction Design at the University of Gothenburg.
How can you claim to master the delicate art of composition when technology eludes your grasp? When you do not fully understand what you are playing with, and when the pace of change accelerates with every passing moment? Is it then time to return to the solid foundations of music as we know it, or should we instead leap into the unknown, embracing its overwhelming complexity? And if we choose to leap, what drives us to do so, and how should we approach it?
The project "How to Make the Future Unpredictable", which seeks to build a creative bridge between art and science in collaboration with the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, is a joyful experiment in surprising ourselves as we navigate the uncharted territories of sound.
Join us in a discussion about the intersection of scientific dreams and artistic playfulness as we strive to open our minds to the contemporary music of the future!
