Fonderie Darling is thrilled to invite Never Apart to think up a musical program for a special event, presented on the Place Publique as part of its Allegorical Circuits for Human Software program.
For the occasion, NVA proposes 5 musical performances that tie in with the themes of Allegorical Circuits for Human Software to allow for the pursuit of feminist reflections on digital technologies, highlighting the person-machine relationship that underlies computer-assisted musical production.
Presented in a hybrid format, the performances will be broadcast as a live audio stream on N10.as community radio.
On the Place Publique, participation is limited to 50 people. Priority will be given to those who reserve their free spot on Eventbrite.
A donation platform for the artists will be made available, be generous if you can!
