15:00 Lecture
FEAR OF MUSIC
by David Stubbs (UK)
A lecture based on David Stubbs book, Fear Of Music: Why People Get Rothko But Don't Get Stockhausen. It asks why contemporary, non-figurative art, as represented at the Tate Modern UK, is relatively popular and commands huge sums at Sothebys, while its musical equivalent, avant garde/experimental/noise music, cannot find a similar audience - even though they emerged from the same roots in the first decade of the 20th century. Why is one so popular and accepted, the other reviled, ignored or run screaming from?

SOUND IN THE VISUAL ARTS – AN INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
by Jesper N. Jørgensen (DK)

MUSICAL IMAGES
by Sandra Naumann (DE)
Since the upcoming of the technological media there have been manifold concepts for transferring musical strategies and characteristics to the moving image. This talk will discuss the varying strategies using examples from filmic art forms and relate them to inherent aspects of audiovisual perception.
The lecture is based on research started within the context of the project “See This Sound,” parts of which will be included in contributions to the project’s publications entitled Audiovisualogy.

FIXATION FIELD (sneak preview of behind-the-scenes of a work in progress)
by Lillevan (DE)
Largely inspired by many years of meditations on the history of light and attempts to understand the relationships between light, rhythm & psychology of the eye. A major focus of this undertaking is of course the study of light in time and visual forces. 'Movement' is the strongest visual appeal to attention, yet this evening's lecture will be dedicated to Kandinsky's words: "I have replaced the concept of 'movement' with the concept of 'tension'; tension is the force inherent in the element".
