The European Bridges Ensemble was established for Internet and network performance. Its current members are Kai Niggemann (Münster, Germany), Ádám Siská (Budapest, Hungary), Johannes Kretz (Vienna, Austria), Andrea Szigetvári (Budapest, Hungary), Ivana Ognjanovic (Belgrade, Serbia), Georg Hajdu (Hamburg, Germany), and Stewart Collinson (Lincoln, England), performing with Georg Hajdu’s interactive network performance environment Quintet.net.
In 2009 July the ensemble worked at Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg together with four young composers to create new network pieces. The result will be presented at MNW2009.

MA Fine Art

Member of European Bridges Ensemble

Senior Lecturer in Moving Image at the School of Art, Lincoln University, UK.

My work covers a range of activities: as an artist making moving image work for single-screen viewing and gallery installation with national and international arts organisations in collaboration with composers, musicians and dancers. The outcomes of these projects can be work for single screen, multi-screen installation but increasingly, live mixing and projection of moving image for performance (live cinema is one term). My principal areas of interest are the relationship of sound and image in a live networked performance context.

CONFERENCE – BRIEF ABSTRACT:

“My presentation entitled “Between-ness” (still in preparation) can be briefly summarised as some geophilosophical rambles into and out of network space.”
