Featuring work by a group of 7 international artists, poets, scientists and designers, the record offers a look at the concept of Transparency from a variety of cultural, creative and scientific perspectives. In conversation with our curatorial team, 6 of the contributors synthesised their interpretation of the theme within a 5 minute long audio piece, many of them working with the medium for the first time. The front and back cover of the album are designed by graphic designer and digital artist Galina Kruzhilina, creating a visual response to the 6 sound pieces.

Research and Waves’ curatorial goals aim to foster new connections between both, our contributors, as well as the subject matters of their work, and we approached this project not only as an exhibition or media release, but a joined research effort that illuminates the concept of Transparency in a way that is networked, trans-disciplinary and relevant to today’s shared, cultural and social experience. We selected participants based on the conversations their practice engages in, and the works featured on the release touch on aspects of Transparency related to human intimacy (Jasmina Al-Qaisi), financial trading and pseudo-science (Sam Conran), the material qualities of the everyday (Patrick Cruz), neuroscience and artificial intelligence (Nicolas Gravel), digital surveillance (Galina Kruzhilina), communication and collectivity (Louise Vind Nielsen), colonial histories and public space (Fritz Laszlo Weber). The tracks on the record range from electronic and acoustic compositions, field recordings and spoken word performances to audio narratives.

For the final release of the record we held a weekend-long event at project space Feldfünf in Berlin that not only gave our audience the opportunity to listen to the finished record for the first time, but also featured a program of performances, installations, lectures, artworks and workshops by our contributors that elaborated on and further contextualized the work and themes on the record.
