ADE picks
Charged by Jaco Schilp
Charged by Jaco Schilp is a sensor-driven light environment where your body sets the pace: clouds of light gather, repel and fold together as people move through the space. TouchDesigner and YOLO shape the reactive glow around presence and collision.
Dreaming Babies: illi by Yoon Chung Han
Dreaming Babies: illi by Yoon Chung Han centers 23 hybrid human babies in virtual incubators, with audience mic input and a ChatGPT layer feeding the audiovisual piece. It links AI, genetics and speculative birth into a realtime installation about perfecting bodies.
Heliotrope by Heleen Blanken & Daniel de Bruin
Heliotrope by Heleen Blanken & Daniel de Bruin is a mirrored kinetic setup where blades move, beams split and reflections turn the room into a shifting mechanical landscape. The piece works with sun-tracking, tropism and light-motor choreography.
The Egg by Touki Delphine
The Egg by Touki Delphine builds live music systems from salvaged objects, motors, relays, drums and lights, with FIREBIRD and SUPERDRUM in the collective’s recycled-material lineage. Expect a percussion-and-light machine where object noise, wiring and motion drive the room.
Dome Concerts presents: CATCHING FLIES - visuals Julius Horsthuis
Catching Flies and Julius Horsthuis bring soulful melodies, deep basslines and fractal dome visuals together in ARTIS Planetarium. Expect live-instrument feel, detailed rhythms and immersive animation that syncs electronic music with a planetarium setting.
THE FUTURE IS SOUND at ADE
Ruthlss and Portrait XO move between piano-led electronic writing, processed voice, data sonification and audiovisual performance at The Stargate. The night sits between composed passages, club percussion and synthetic textures, with sound and image both doing the work.
Thomas Azier x raam art space: Live Showcase
Thomas Azier plays new work morphing music and visuals
Dome Concerts presents: GIDGE - visuals by Julius Horshuis
Gidge and Julius Horsthuis turn Fabrique des Lumières into a field-recording-and-light space, with warm synthesisers, distant vocal fragments and restrained rhythm under fractal visuals. The set leans into organic electronics, cinematic ambience and architecture as part of the sound.
