Visual arts & Concert / Digital arts, Audiovisual performance & Electronic music Multiplica lab – a/​v night

Grey Line is an audio-video live show characterised by a powerful visual and acoustic impact: the themes, represented with raw sincerity, are related to current events, climate change, and humankind’s effect on the earth. 

Grey Line leads the audience inside a thoughtful analysis of the world’s current situation. Starting from the exposure, the assimilation, and the analysis of the continuous media bombing, in an attempt to define this ​“era of the absurd” we are living in, also named ​“the wrong timeline,” SPIME​.IM tries to describe the emotional place in which we are trapped in.

SPIME​.IM
SPIME​.IM is a media art collective that investigates the aesthetics and languages derived from the affirmation of digital reality. The themes they explore mainly revolve around the boundaries of identity, corporeality, and the perception of the human being in the absurd times mankind is facing.

They have presented their work at international digital art festivals such as Mutek (Canada, Japan, and Spain), Ars Electronica, Club to Club, Lunchmeat, Stereolux, and L.E.V. Additionally, they presented their latest multimedia production, The End Of The World, at the Barbican Centre in London with internationally renowned pianist and composer Lubomyr Melnyk, cellist Julia Kent, the vocal group Shards, and soprano Elina Netšajeva.

How does a language sound beyond the meaning of its words? How much does the sound of a language influence us? How does the sound of a language resonate with us? The project LOGOS MATER by Amelie Duchow stems from a deep reflection on these questions.

The audio composition of LOGOS MATER draws inspiration from diverse phonetic and acoustic elements linked to the intrinsic nature of the world’s languages. Amelie Duchow invites people from all over the world to participate in this project by providing a webpage where anyone can capture their own voice in their native language. These vocal contributions are used by Amelie Duchow in a creative process of manipulation and alteration will confer identity and uniqueness to the development of the live performance.

The composition of LOGOS MATER emerges in a global language that does not express itself with words, but with sound, seeking to ​“speak” and connect us, at least for a moment, by transcending cultural and geographical boundaries.

Amelie Duchow
German audiovisual artist Amelie Duchow investigates the experimental relationship between sound, space, and visual perception. Her conceptual approach unfolds as an interplay of subtle, multilayered microsounds and intensive electronic structures transmuting into immersive visual articulations that challenge perceptual boundaries.

She is a member of Female Pressure, the transnational database and network of women working in the realms of electronic music and visual arts.

Her debut album, TONSTICH, has been released on Sync, an audiovisual platform and label she runs together with media artist Marco Monfardini. Together they build the project SCHNITT working in the transitional area between electronic music, digital art and technology.

Their audiovisual performances and installations have been shown worldwide in museums and festivals such as L.E.V. (ES), Mutek Montreal (CA), Elektra Festival (CA), e‑phil (DE), ), Biennale Némo (FR), Act Festival (KR), Sonica Festival (UK).

Amelie Duchow, together with Gianluca Sibaldi and Marco Monfardini form EXTRAsync, an interdisciplinary platform dedicated to audio-visual research and the development of multimedia projects, software, and audio/​video devices.

Sirr al-’Asrâr (Arabic for ​“The Secret of Secrets”) is the joint project of Skander Ben Yahia, Zohra Mrad and Skander Jaïbi. Raised in Tunisia, they are now based in Paris, Luxembourg and Amsterdam.

Sirr al-’Asrâr’s new live set emerges as an intertwined dialogue about shared memory and experience through abstraction and noise. This dialogue is materialised by their technical setup that allows each audiovisual element to be iteratively and erratically captured, processed and displayed, as a physical manifestation of collective memory. Recollections that are neither singular nor stable, but rather formed through entanglement, alteration and exchange.

Through densely layered improvisations, resulting in slowly evolving worlds, elements dissolve into audiovisual textures and distortions, evoking the fragility of what is remembered and the violence of what is forgotten. More broadly, the performance marks the continuation of Sirr al-’Asrâr’s inquiry into belonging and identity, the collective unconscious, and how shared histories (re)surface, fragment, and reconstitute themselves through sound and image.

Zohra Mrad
Zohra Mrad is a Tunisian and Luxembourgish multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Luxembourg. They create interactive, generative and immersive experiences. Their work invites a dialog between the human experience and technology, encouraging the public to go from an observer to an actor/​creator of the piece.

Their approach is collaborative, circular and inclusive. Their artworks are often inspired and linked to kinaesthesia, healing, chaos and the experimental and/​or extreme music scene. They question how those experiences can help us live/​survive the violence of the world around us.

They are a co-founder of the VIVID ECHOES artistic residencies in Luxembourg, the eco-poetry journal foehn and collectives like Sirr al-’Asrâr, Zolei and B‑Saad, and are an active member of Mooja and Grave Erreur.

They have performed and exhibited online, in Europe (Germany, Spain, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands), in the United Kingdom and in Tunisia.

Skander Ben Yahia

Skander’s passion for music has led to diverse and impactful projects, from codirecting collectives and creating an album and several EPs to the development of live performances, through which he has cultivated a rich and dynamic musical landscape. 

Skander is currently involved in several artistic initiatives. He’s collaborating with Alinna Tikhonova, with whom he explores distinct audio and visual narratives through audiovisual installations. His second album under his alias Near Stoic is set to be released in January 2026.

Skander Jaïbi
Skander Jaïbi a Tunisian and Dutch composer, audiovisual artist, curator and science educator, currently based in Amsterdam. He obtained his MSc degree from the University of Utrecht in the philosophy of (quantum) physics in 2020 and is one of the founders and artistic directors of Uncloud festival since 2016.

As an artist, his medium of choice is often sound. The techniques used range from a strong focus on the use of field recordings and archival material to creating compositions that may or may not integrate such recordings. Alongside his autonomous practice, he has co-created on various occasions and has collaborated on, among others, dance pieces, films and art installations. His interests are various and are often linked to, but not restricted by, his biculturality and his background in physics. He is a strong proponent of the open-source and open-access stance.
