The Music Folder #10 Robert Henke
Interview by Marco Mancuso, 22/11/2023. The Music Folder is a talk-series, curated by Archivio Storico Ricordi, which investigates the intersection of music, memory and arts. For the 10th installment of our podcast series #TheMusicFolder we are pleased to present the German composer and digital artist Robert Henke. The talk, realized in collaboration with Biennale Musica on the occasion of the 67th International Festival of Contemporary Music in Venice, is hosted by Marco Mancuso, critic and curator on art and technoscience, professor at Politecnico delle Arti di Bergamo and University of Bologna. The conversation revolves around Henke's artistic inspiration influenced by technology and his relationship with machinery, with a reflection on the balance between engineering aspects with the unpredictable. Among the topics, the interaction of sound and visual in the CBM 8032 AV project, the creation of instruments and a final consideration about science, research and limits within the digital arts.
