UNSOUND DISCORD RESIDENCY
Unsound was one of the world’s first music festivals to set up Discord – in 2020 during the pandemic, to create a community space as part of our online event. As festivals have shifted back into IRL zones, our Discord was left rather inactive and forlorn… until now!
Jak Ritger and Abbey Pusz of New Models and Do Not Research are leading a one-month artist residency on Unsound Discord, excavating the first 19 years (20 editions) of the Kraków festival, also digging through events in New York, Toronto, Adelaide, Minsk, Kyiv and beyond. Contribute to a collective art project that will be presented on-stage at Unsound 2022: Bubbles as part of a research project by Ritger and Pusz titled Digital Local – an investigation into the contemporary history of online communities as seen through art and politics.
BARBLE
Barble is a collaborative project between Patchlab Festival and Unsound, connecting the themes of both festivals: _econtinuum and Bubbles. An interactive sculpture created by Elektro Moon in Augmented Reality has the form of a bubble that changes shape and colour in real-time according to the level of the air pollution in the city of Kraków. The soundscape of the ephemeral sculpture has been created by Aho Ssan. During Unsound, Barble can be found in the following locations: at the Ratusz Tower on the Main Square, the Unsound Festival Office, at Kopernika 15 (the location for Unsound Morning Glory concerts), and the Kraków Philharmonic Hall.
