CONDUCTURIS
by DIENNE

Conducturis is an immersive film installation project that delves into the realms of speculative fiction, employing the cinematic language of the road movie to envision the ramifications of constructing an artificial brain within the Swiss landscape.

Following their encounters with key figures in the Human Brain Project during an art research expedition in Geneva from 2019 to 2020, conceptualized by Cédric Noël & Mira Sanders, they stumbled upon a remarkable discovery: a hidden fiber-optic cable linking Geneva to Lugano.

The accompanying original score by Dienne invites audiences to delve into the intersection of human creativity and machine intelligence. Guided by the principle of being “abundant in beauty and rich in disturbances”, Dienne embarks on a sonic exploration of the Swiss landscape, translating its ethereal beauty and technological wonders into evocative musical compositions.

“How can a human sound like a machine?”

This intriguing question lies at the heart of Dienne’s artistic endeavor. For her, the soundtrack of Conducturis transcends mere musical notes; it embodies a profound philosophical exploration into the essence of human creativity amidst the rise of artificial intelligence.

Similarly, “How can a human being compose like a machine?” serves as a pivotal inquiry guiding Dienne’s creative journey. As she navigates the delicate boundary between human expression and machine cognition, she skillfully intertwines the pulsating rhythms of data transmission with the haunting melodies inspired by artificial landscapes.

Drawing inspiration from the cinematic aesthetics of the road movie genre, as envisioned by Sanders & Noël in their speculation on the construction of an artificial brain, Dienne weaves a sonic tapestry that transports listeners on a contemplative journey through mountains, lakes, and cities.

Each track for Conducturis becomes a testament to the fusion of brain and landscape, inviting audiences to ponder the limitless potential of human imagination. As audiences immerse themselves in the evocative world of Conducturis, Dienne’s soundtrack serves as a guiding force and perfect companion, leading them through a transcendental experience where reality and imagination merge, and the symphony of human and machine harmonizes seamlessly.

Conducturis emerges as a sensory exploration of the human spirit and the boundless horizons of artificial intelligence. With Dienne’s soundtrack as its heartbeat, this project invites audiences to embark on a voyage of discovery, where the echoes of human creativity reverberate across the digital frontier.
