INTERACTIVE PRESENTATION / in Hungarian
As part of the ‘smART! EXTRA’ series of interactive presentations, audiences are invited to find out about interdisciplinary forms of co-operation between different areas of the arts and creative industries, through a number of ongoing projects. The focus of the ‘Visual music’ event will be on visual imagery’s musical structures.
BINAURA
Binaura is a Hungarian collective who have been building software-based interfaces and physical installations using free and open source tools since the early 2000s. They regularly host international workshops (in the EU, Norway and India) in the fields of interaction modalities, creative coding and procedural drawing. Their works focus on interaction, new interfaces for creative communication, prototyping and open source exchange of ideas. Opening and modifying existing commercial tools and contexts are part of their working process.
The two permanent members Agoston Nagy and Bence Samu come from an art background, and are currently researching the cultural aspects of technology. They are former researchers at ‘Kitchen Budapest’, and now work with the ‘Prezi Delight’ research group. As well as autonomous art projects, they also work together with entrepreneurs, startup companies, independent theatre companies and design universities.
They will present three pieces at smART!: ‘Spheretones’, a musical application which creates sounds through visual interaction; ‘Alpha’, an interactive spatial installation; and ‘Silence’, a public intervention realised on the streets of Partapur, India.

Ábris Gryllus is a graphic designer and DJ.
