With a programme of residencies, commissions, symposia and workshops, the project partners of Re-Imagine Europe stimulate both artistic production and audience development in the field where art, music, technology and politics meet.

Re-Imagine Europe creates opportunities for artists via residencies and the co-commissioning of new work. It engages audiences, develops their skills through workshops and symposia, and builds communities of interest. Through presenting and disseminating artworks across Europe, as well as through publishing critical content, the project contributes to transnational mobility and the exchange of knowledge. It also experiments with new ways of reaching audiences, motivated by the ambition to develop a broader and more engaging approach to audience development and capacity building.

By the end of 2021, the project accomplished:

• 59 artist residencies in Europe
• presentation and touring showcases of 108 new commissioned works across Europe
• 86 workshops for artists, young people and curious audiences
• 275 digital releases such as podcasts, articles, videos and soundworks
• several printed and online publications
• a series of pilot projects as part of embedded audience development research

Re-Imagine Europe is initiated by Sonic Acts (NL), coordinated by Paradiso (NL) and realised with Elevate Festival (AT), Lighthouse (UK), INA GRM (FR), KONTEJNER (HR), Bergen Kunsthall (NO), A4 (SK), Disruption Network Lab (DE) and Ràdio Web MACBA (ES).

Re-Imagine Europe is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.

Multichannel sound diffusion workshop

Motions: An Experimental Sound Event

Motions is an experimental sound event organized by association KONTEJNER, as part of the international project Re-Imagine Europe. Motions focuses on spatial-sound works and experiments of different types and forms, endowed with distinct poetics and approaches to working with sound in space. An extensive part of Motions programme is comprised of multi-channel electronic music concerts and performances of spatial-sound compositions. More complex speaker systems and software for multi-channel diffusion allow the authors to experiment with spatial sound and create unique sonic landscapes. By means of sound spatialization, Motions produce immersive experiences that alter the ways of listening and perception of sound and space: the space of sound and sound in space. Welcome to the space of experimental sound!
