1965 + 60 Years of Algorithmic Art with Computers (en)

Enna Gerhard, Frieder Nake

What power structures are inherent to the field of computer-generated art? In the year 1965, so 60 years ago, the first three exhibitions of art created with the help of computers took place - in part independently of each other. We want to present the interesting aspects of developments since then and discuss them with Frieder Nake, one of the people who exhibited in those very beginnings and followed those developments with a critical attitude.

The Eyes of Photon Science: Imaging, Simulation and the Quest to Make the Invisible Visible (en)

MarKuster

Science advances by extending our senses beyond the limits of human perception, pushing the boundaries of what we can observe. In photon science, imaging detectors serve as the eyes of science, translating invisible processes into measurable and analysable data. Behind every image lies a deep understanding of how detectors see, respond and perform. At facilities like the European XFEL, the world's most powerful X-ray free-electron laser located in the Hamburg metropolitan area, imaging detectors capture ultrashort X-ray flashes at MHz frame rates and with high dynamic range. Without these advanced detectors, even the brightest X-ray laser beam would remain invisible. They help to reveal what would otherwise stay hidden, such as the structure of biomolecules, the behaviour of novel materials, and matter under extreme conditions. But how do we know they will perform as expected? And how do we design systems capable of “seeing” the invisible? I will take a closer look how imaging technology in large-scale facilities is simulated and designed to make the invisible visible. From predicting detector performance to evaluating image quality, we look at how performance simulation helps scientists and engineers understand the “eyes” of modern science.

Coding Dissent: Art, Technology, and Tactical Media (en)

Helena Nikonole

This presentation examines artistic practices that engage with sociotechnical systems through tactical interventions. The talk proposes art as a form of infrastructural critique and counter-technology. It also introduces a forthcoming HackLab designed to foster collaborative development of open-source tools addressing digital authoritarianism, surveillance capitalism, propaganda infrastructures, and ideological warfare.

From Silicon to Darude Sand-storm: breaking famous synthesizer DSPs (en)

giulioz

Have you ever wondered how the chips and algorithms that made all those electronic music hits work? Us too! At The Usual Suspects we create open source emulations of famous music hardware, synthesizers and effect units. After releasing some emulations of devices around the Motorola 563xx DSP chip, we made further steps into reverse engineering custom silicon chips to achieve what no one has done before: a real low-level emulation of the JP-8000. This famous synthesizer featured a special "SuperSaw" oscillator algorithm, which defined an entire generation of electronic and trance music. The main obstacle was emulating the 4 custom DSP chips the device used, which ran software written with a completely undocumented instruction set. In this talk I will go through the story of how we overcame that obstacle, using a mixture of automated silicon reverse engineering, probing the chip with an Arduino, statistical analysis of the opcodes and fuzzing. Finally, I will talk about how we made the emulator run in real-time using JIT, and what we found by looking at the SuperSaw code.

Analog to Algorithm: RSS Disco’s Underground Journey (en)

RSS Disco

From crackling Kraut and Disco records to hyper produced Techno tracks - dance music has come a long way in the last six decades, and was always strongly influenced by evolving technology. Dance music’s history is a feedback system between culture and circuitry. Each new invention—from the disco subwoofer to today’s neural-driven mastering tools—reshapes sound itself. RSS Disco’s timeline approach celebrates this continuum: a story of machines learning to groove, and humans learning to listen differently through them.

Steve Simon (de)

Steve

Als Part der ToxicFamily, die seit mittlerweile 25 Jahren Label, elektronisches Magazin, Veranstalter und einfach eine Institution in Frankfurt ist, fördert Steve, der übrigens einer der dienstältesten Residents des Tanzhaus West in Frankfurt ist, aktiv die Frankfurter Underground Clubszene und vor allem den Nachwuchs. Ob es ein Gig bei der Toxic Family Radio Show im lokalen FM Radio ist, ein CDJ Lehrgang oder einfach nur aufmunterte Worte während eines Sets - viele Frankfurter DJs haben eine Geschichte über Steve zu erzählen. Wenn Steve House Musik spielt, sieht man oft DJ Kollegen mit gespitzen Ohren an der Bar stehen - oder auch mal mitten auf der Tanzfläche - weil das Barpersonal selbst auf der Theke tanzt.
