Katrin Hochschuh & Adam Donovan: CURIOUS TAUTOPHONE – TENSOR FIELD ONTOLOGY

This robotic installation with responsive projection is as much an apparatus of art as it is a tool for music and an instrument of psychology and physics. Tautophone is a reference to the projective “auditory Rorschach” tests developed by psychologists Skinner, Rosenzweig, and Shakow in the 1930s and 1940s, while Curious here refers to the robot's motivation to explore its surroundings and to learn.

  • The world around us is a mixture of ubiquitous images and sounds that we must try to understand, decipher and, most importantly, learn to create with them ourselves.

    Vasulka Kitchen programs allow participants to explore and transcend the boundaries of art and technology, just as Stein and Woody Vasulka - pioneers of electronic art - did in their work. We offer four ongoing programs of varying difficulty and creative workshops for a wide range of interests based on the themes of current exhibitions in the gallery space.

    For more information about all programs for families, adults or schools and kindergartens, please see the individual sections or contact the lecturer Gajane Achverdjan with your questions via e-mail: gajane@vasulkakitchen.org

    For families and kids

    The workshops offered for families and children explore certain phenomena and approaches in new media art, as well as respond to current trends in the world of film, music or social media. The workshops at Vasulka Kitchen offer a creative and experimental approach to making and often focus on working in groups. We invite all young experimenters, filmmakers, sound engineers or audio-visual curious kids (and their parents and grandparents) to join us for collaborative art activities that develop children's imagination, creativity and their relationship with art and technology.

    For more information, please see the individual sections or contact the lecturer Gajane Achverdjan with your questions via e-mail: gajane@vasulkakitchen.org

    For kindergartens, schools

    Vašulka Kitchen offers educational programmes for all levels of education (kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools and universities) always on the occasion of the current exhibition and also offers four permanent programmes that are not directly linked to exhibitions, but instead deal with different phenomena and approaches in the field of electronic art and new media art. All programmes for kindergartens and schools are linked to the Framework Educational Programmes (FEP) of the respective levels of education.

    For more information, please see the individual sections or contact the lecturer Gajane Achverdjan with your questions via e-mail: gajane@vasulkakitchen.org

    For adults

    Workshops focus on different artistic approaches in new media art or the skills required to test the boundaries of today's (and yesterday's) technologies. However, they often target analogue approaches that juxtapose the art of digital. The adult workshops at Vasulka Kitchen also aim to act as outreach and expand technology literacy among adults and seniors. As part of our adult programs, we also frequently host a variety of music experimentation sessions led by outside professionals.

    For more information, please see the individual sections or contact the lecturer Gajane Achverdjan with your questions via e-mail: gajane@vasulkakitchen.org

    Vašulka Kitchen Brno residency program

     

    OPEN CALL FOR RESIDENCY 2025

    Residency program works in collaboration of Vašulka Kitchen Brno with Brno Artists in Residence.

    The Brno House of Arts residency program has been receiving artists-in-residence since 2016 and is a key constituent of the Brno House of Arts' conceptual framework. A top floor of the House of the Lords of Kunštát has been refurbished to accommodate the residency program, providing facilities for the accomodation and work by artists in three studios.

    VKB's 2022 resident will be granted access to our Center of New Media Art, its digital archive, reference library, and be provided the opportunity to present their work to professional and public audiences. Residents are encouraged to cooperate with our institutional partners including the Faculty of Fine Arts, Technical University of Brno and the Theory of Interactive Media Department, Masaryk University. We encourage applicants in the development of projects that include the involvement of local and regional experts in technical and scientific fields.

    The Vašulka Kitchen Brno residency program serves to build on the legacy and oeuvre of the Vašulkas by reflecting contemporary approaches and discourse. We offer various platforms for the exchange and development of discussions on the historical and contemporary form of new media art and its application in the interdisciplinary field of Art and Technology. The Brno House of Arts and Vašulka Kitchen Brno support the realization of diverse contemporary artistic projects and favor collaborative approaches that reflect plurality and openness.

    The resident will be selected through an open call review by a committee of Vašulka Kitchen Brno association members. Applicants should be active artists or theoreticians in the field of new media art with a genuine interest in exploring the nature of their medium in addition to the possibilities that it lends the subject of their inquiry. The VKB resident is encouraged to present their work to the professional and general public in the form of a presentation, lecture, discussion, or exhibition at the Vašulka Kitchen Brno gallery.

    We will accept applications in English, Czech, or Slovak.
