is another physical manifestation of
“Draft Title: Shoah”
featuring Collective Trauma Film Collections
http://sfc.engad.org/video/
http://avmci.a-virtual-memorial.org
including a symposium and events at different venues
initiated and coordinated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne,
based on the international initiative adressed to young
audio-visual artists to deal with SHOAH and collective trauma
by using new technologies in order to keep vivid the memory of the collective trauma
and humanity by sensitizing the people via art.
The non-visual medium of soundart has a particular potential
to express affection via a wide range of soundtools.
SoundLAB has been an active project environment between 2004 and 2010
featuring each year another edition of soundart online – in total 7 editions –
see also http://soundlab.newmediafest.org
For the purpose of an extended online project of
“Draft Title: Shoah” – http://dts.engad.org
SoundLAB would like to re-activate its activities
for this important event in Duesseldorf (Germany) exactly one year ahead in 2015.
Soundartists from all over the world are invited
to submit a sound piece dealing with collective trauma.
There is no need to go back 70 years ago, but collective trauma
happens every day before our very eyes in the media
whether via desasters of nature, genocides,
the refugees persecuted and expelled from their home countries
in Africa or Middle East,. collective trauma is currently toucning
everyone’s life more or less dramatically.
So, it is more than worth to express one’s feelings and emotions via
artistic media like soundart.
Diffently, than in previous editions, there is the option available to
perform the submitted soundart piece in physcial space during the event in Duesseldorf.
