Hey, wieder zurück in die Zentrale mit mir und jetzt habe ich schon meinen anderen Gast. Barbara yes bet a lot of pets with us I'm talking in English again because interview is going to be in English again and nice to have you here thank you thank you for the invitation I was really happy thank you so much yeah thank you so much that you come and let's start with I know you are artists too but you managed kunsttonikampus is also something big and you told me right now you were making like tour yeah and you're really also tired from this all tour and making all this stuff. So how do you manage? How come that you make all this? Yeah, I recently graduated from Interface Cultures and I myself work also as an artist and curator and I was really happy that I was this year invited by Manuela Navao, who's the head of Interface Cultures and also the main curator of this campus exhibition. She invited me to work with her and to be the main project manager for all the exhibitions that we have here at Hauplatz. Wow, really cool, really cool. What does it really mean? How much work did you invest? How long are you like already planning all this exhibition yeah we started actually in may already yeah we've been working in the last five months uh to launch the open call to the students and to arrange then all the spaces and to invite the partner university because this year we're featuring there behind us in place we have We have Moholy-Nagy, Mome from Budapest. We've been also in contact with them since May to plan their show here in Splace. And we're also tightly working with Ars Electronica because we're also hosting a lot of their partner university in Hoplats 8. Very cool. Congratulations. Thank you. Because I think everybody is really happy and it's amazing so once again come everybody look at this and you have some pets we have some pets here yes yes can you tell me more about the kitties? These days I was so busy with the campus and planning all the exhibitions I really didn't have time to send you material so I decided just to bring my art with me. I really appreciate that. I think it's so, so cool. Tell me about your little pet. This was a research I did for my master thesis. I went to Yamas to Japan on a residency exchange and I was writing my thesis about uncanny in new media art because I'm very fascinated with things that look a bit creepy and weird. So I went there and I like to work with toys like with robot dogs and with Furby toys and I like to modify them and always bring a piece of me in them and also to highlight the problematic of this electronic waste so I tried to recycle. So recycle, give a new life to something that is maybe not a toy anymore, has no use and you were saying please tell me all about this. This was the idea to create kind of a series called eerie me because i wanted to put a piece of myself in these toys so in japan we were we 3d scanned my face and we 3d printed it so this is a mini version of me and it also has my eye that blinks and the other eye is a camera usually in the exhibition i have it connected to a live stream so the people can drive the dog around and it also has then a kind of spy camera that you can see what the they are doing where they are going yes yeah and I had a great opportunity because also my sister is visiting me here in Lint during Ars Electronica and she is leading a robotics lab in our hometown Terboula and she brought the little cousin You can say something. Moby with us. Hello Moby, you're really sweet. Yes, show me your tricks. Show me your tricks. Can you see it? Can we have it on camera? No? Please. He's saying hello. Please. Please, please, please. We have to see. Yeah. We can say hello this is Moby he's Moby all these moves all those yeah somehow creepy but you know I also think that creepy sweet yes yes I find some kind of beauty in this weird stuff I always find them fascinated and I also try to in the future work more with this and modify not modify them but I have been 3d printing my face and there was some ideas that I put my face on these bigger robots because it's always funny to see especially in public places how people react because when you put this kind of artworks in the gallery everyone accepts that this is art but I'm more curious now to push it further and bring this things into the public when people don't expect and then maybe it's the real effect of uncanny when you bring it to the public when it's not a gallery it's just the environment where we live in other people like yeah okay it's a gallery so i put it at home it doesn't move it's okay it's for me and then it's the other impression and when you see it moving and you say oh my god this is real you know like i was thinking i just see in the movies, you know, and also putting some you know, like physic From for men mankind and putting in in a robots like mixing that art is sometimes really creepy Yeah, but really funny and also beautiful. So Congratulations once again for for your ideas and for all this work and you're still making tours Or do you want to say also to the people when can they have a tour with you tomorrow is my last guided tour so if someone wants to join tomorrow at 5 p.m the meeting point is next to the linkeo stram it's the tower at hoplads and we meet there at five if someone wants to join my tour yes one one half hour yes go, yes.

Vielen Dank für das Kommen. Vielen Dank für das Kommen. Danke. Habt einen schönen Tag. Dir auch. Dir auch. Ah okay, okay. Wir sind da. Passt. So, kick it in Hannes. So now welcome back to the mushroom universe and we got a new funky that grew on our museum and now we may present to you Miss lynn maya hi lynn hi how are you i'm good how are you i think i'm fine i'm garbage you see it and i feel like it hannes how are you i'm so totally fine you cannot imagine okay i Okay, I think Hannes is always fine. As soon as the shrooms are kicking in, everything is fine. So, Ms. Shroomy Lin Maya, what are you doing here at the Ars Electronica Festival? Apart from shrooming around, I am participating with some works. Maybe I'll give a little bit introduction about who I am. My name is Lynn Maya. I am a Syrian multimedia artist and sound designer, as well as a DJ, as most of the university know. I moved here around three years ago, doing the Bachelor of Time-based and Interactive Media Art. This year I participated with three different projects, which are some of them designed for deep space, and one installation which is exhibited here in the KunstUni campus third floor in time-based and interactive media art department for more exhibition don't miss it out um yeah that's my background do you have any questions maybe? Besides them asking you questions, now I see we have guests in our exhibition. Can I offer you some kombucha tea? Yes, sure. Maya, can I give you the Lin Maya? Some mess here happening. I'm actually playing just to hear the synth and play around with it. Yeah. Give it a try. Can I have the mic back? Okay, so now I ask you the next question. and besides studying I think that you're also a grown-up artist and you're already working as a profi musician so what are you doing actually? As a musician I used to play a bass guitar back in the days when I was back home in Syria we had the first female rock band in the country back in the days. And then like when I moved away, I took a break from music for a while and then I decided to go back into mixing. That was like around five years ago and when COVID started, it was the best time for me to invest serious time into mixing and making music. Right after I moved to Austria and I started working more with sound and DJing and sound design and production, I do play different styles of music mainly techno I would say for the night scene but I also don't like to be framed in one box of genre so I always tend to experiment with different sounds different textures and whether I do it in my sets or in the sound designs of projects that I participate in. Yo! So, dear guys, my boss just texted me that we should come to an end because the radical broadcast is starting to end. So thank you, Maya just one short question do you have events in the future we can attend to because I really have to say if you want to dance hard please go when we see DJ Lynn Maya probably for the opening semester party in the university most probably I'll be there, but so far I don't have a confirmation. But you can follow me on Instagram and probably you will be able to see my upcoming events and gigs on social media. Thank you very much, you little shroom, for attending our growing mycelium. And Hannes, one last word on the synthesizers. Okay, Mr. Kompucha, what do you say? Okay, he's like bring it to an end. So, thank you for attending the Mushroom Universe. And now we are over and out. And now we vanish. So, Sigi, Baby und ich, wir sind jetzt gerade bei unserer nächsten Station angekommen, die Church of Ignorance. Wir sind immer noch topfit. Der ganze Abend hat sich für uns so spirituell gestaltet. Das hat uns quasi beflügelt. Wir kommen quasi von der letzten Messe, von der Messe der Eleonore, in die nächste Messe. Also da werden Messen abgehalten. Wer ist der Zeremonienmeisterin? Wechselnd, wie es sich gehört. Also ich habe jetzt ausnahmsweise das Mikro gleichsam an mich gerissen, weil ich jetzt das Paterphysische Orchester anzelebrieren darf, aber grundsätzlich ist im Team. Da sind wir der katholischen Kirche und die anderen Glaubensgemeinschaften voraus durch die gelebte Intimität. Sehr gut erwartet, glaube ich. Lieber Walter, das ist ja ein Stichwort für dich, dass du das Niveau wieder hebst. Ja, nein, ich habe mich diesmal ein bisschen zurückgehalten, weil ich bin als Prediger eher noch ein Novize. Aber wir haben uns ziemliche Profis geholt. Also gestern mit Fuckhead und mit Heider Terror Trank haben wir wahrscheinlich auch nicht das Sternstunden, das TH5 erlebt. Das war richtig, also ich würde sagen, ich kann jetzt in Pension gehen. Also Ignorance is Bliss, das heißt, das war wirklich ein wunderschöner Abend, der sich da für alle Gläubigen ergeben hat. An gestern Abend und heute geht es so weiter. Paterphysisches Orchester, das heißt so viel, wie Sie wissen auch nicht, was Sie tun, aber es funktioniert? Ja, es wird funktionieren. was sie dann aber es funktioniert? Ja es wird funktionieren. Es ist glaube ich ein sehr schönes Erlebnis, dass man durch starkes Bemühen auch schon viel schaffen kann. Also nicht so, wenn du willst kannst du alles schaffen, sondern wir werden auch scheitern. Aber wir wissen, dass wir es nicht können. Ganz wichtig ist aber wirklich der heilige Ernst beim Versuch, Leidenschaft, des Bemühens, um das geht es. Das sehe ich als Sportler in meiner Funktion, als Fitness-Influencer sehe ich das ja genauso. Ich weiß ja auch nicht, was ich tue und ich erziele nicht das Ergebnis, das ich erzielen will, aber ich weiß, dass es mir gut tut. Wenn ich beim Sport anknüpfen darf, wenn ich zum Beispiel Sporttorte ausprobieren möchte, wie Tischtennis, die kann ich natürlich nicht, das können viele Sporttorte nicht, aber ich mache es viel mit Kraft und Leidenschaft, gerade beim Tischtennis. Kraft beim Tischtennis, das hat der kleine Boy verdient. Was würdest du sagen ist der nächste Fixpunkt nach dem Pathophysischen Orchester? Ihr habt ja noch einiges am Programm, was kommt da noch dazu? Also wir versuchen, dass wir es mit der Unernsthaftigkeit wirklich sehr ernst nehmen. Und darum spielen dann anschließend die Footfighters, damit es zum Tanzen wird. Und am Abend, da ist in der Nightline um 22.30 Uhr dann Quatsch mit Sosa. Und das ist quasi, also wir versuchen das Programm so zu modellieren. Und da gehört natürlich Quatsch mit Sosa und das Pater Physische Orchester dazu, dass sich eine künstliche Intelligenz mal wirklich schwer tut, das nachzubauen. Der Informationsfluss ja, das also tanzen das steht noch bei unserem Programm dann sind wir fertig für heute, oder? Ah, Station haben wir noch und dann wird es zum Tanzen genau, super aber jedenfalls eigentlich noch viel Spaß und bleibt dabei beim Nichtwissen und wir stoßen dann dazu zur Glaubensgemeinschaft. Danke für das Interview. Danke.
