Motyf 2021 Workshop: Mapping Mashups

Motyf is an International Symposium and Media Art Exhibition that explores current and future forms of interactive and motion typography expressed through art, design, space and technology. The theme of the 2021 Festival is “Communicating Complexity” and will broadly explore how the elements and principles of visual, motion and interactive design can be leveraged within sequential, interactive, spatial or experiential works to authentically inform our understanding of society, elucidate complex concepts or aid in the communication of data.

Motyf Festival 2021

Explore remix culture through the visualisation of complicated audio compositions. 

Workshop Leader: Brian LucidDescriptionThe Mapping Mashups workshop will playfully explore various methods of visualising the complicated inter-relationships of “content” and “form” (as defined in musical terms) that exist in multi-layered, time-based audio compositions. It will ask participants to identify, through research and observation, the content and structure of chosen musical compositions, then challenge them to communicate what they have learned through a diagram (or visual score) designed to be understood by a general audience. To support this work, the group will investigate the influence of remix culture on design and music while viewing and discussing historical examples of complex and experimental forms of musical notation.FeesParticipation in this workshop is free for students and 160NZD (approx. 95EUR / 115USD / 430PLN) for professionals.
