PORTALE 2024 – SoundS UdK + DCM École Estienne @ Planetarium Berlin

Sound Studies and Sonic Arts Udk return to the Planetarium Berlin for a second edition of Portale to present a  collaborative project between the UdK SoundS Master programme and the DSSA DCN programme of École Estienne de Paris. Portale 2024 will showcase an evening of immersive audio-visual artworks in full dome projection with 360° ambisonics sound. 13 works for frameless media by students from both institutions will repurpose the planetarium’s 23-metre-high dome, and make full use of the ten ZEISS VELVET video projectors, 49 speaker and 4 subwoofer soundsystem to create three-dimensional immersive artworks, from journeys into artificial worlds to generative explorations of colour, space and sound. The works screened at Portale 2024 will also be shown at the SOUS DÔME festival at Planetarium de la Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris in March 2025.
