In different forms of sound poetry, both language and electronic hardware are used to create interplay between medium and meaning.

Marc Matter works at the intersection of sound and spoken language, both artistically and in research. His works are released on vinyl, commissioned for radio, and also performed live. All of this is based on found material, acoustic fragments from the media, i.e., samples from radio, television, and the internet. These fragments are recombined into clusters or loops, resulting in quasi-musical structures that provoke collisions between sound and meaning.

Valentina Vuksic will improvise with/in the electrosmog of computing processes by launching the linux tool stress in varying combinations to change the electricity flows through memory and motherboard which radiate into the space. Her work focuses on electromagnetic emissions from computer hardware aiming for a sensual experience of the analytical sphere becoming concrete, where logic encounters the physical world. The mechanic noises serve as mediators to the public.

Lawrence McGuire works in text-sound, text-print and phonetic play. His recent work as a sound poet invests in the potential of Gertrude Stein’s idea of insistence on non-linguistic forms; to create a presence-by-differential. For BEEK he’ll present another of his ‚Suites‘, reciting some of his own work in tandem with readings by synthetic voices.

Anna Butter is a Berlin-based sound artist, DJ and radio host working at the intersection of experimental electronic music, performance and hydrofeminist thought. Moving fluidly between club environments, radio formats and improvisational live performance, her sets combine deconstructed rhythms, industrial noise textures, fragmented vocals and cinematic samples.
