ODAIBE (PL)- Bartek Szlachcic + Ela Leszczyńska + Karol Jaśkowiak: Ghost Drummer
Bartek Szlachcic is a graphic designer, musician and new media artist He create sounds & space under name Odaibe. Ghost Drummer is a multidisciplinary project that explores graphic qualities in process of playing on a drum kit. Besides being a musician, drummer when playing is unconsciously engaged in an elaborate choreography. The drum sticks are the extensions of drummer’s hands like a brush is an extension of the painter’s hand. Motion-captured movements become a visual map over a time revealing fragile rhythm structures and invisible notations behind energetic instrumental solo.
About SONICA Series
SONICA Series is an offshoot of SONICA Festival- the leading manifestation of transitory art in Slovenia that focuses on intermedia art, exhibitions, public interventions, visual & audiovisual art and performances, sound art, experimental & electronic music, research. Our focus lies primarly in the medium of sound as transitory medium between various intermediate spaces of art, between galleries, museums, club venues, concert halls and public spaces, between ‘serious’ art and pop culture, between music and visual culture, between object and sound, between art and technology.

Museum of Transitory Art

MoTA –

Museum of Transitory Art

MoTA is a multidisciplinary platform dedicated to advancing the research, production and presentation of transitory, experimental, and live art forms.

MoTA is a museum without a permanent collection or a fixed space. Instead, its programs are realised in different locations and contexts in temporary physical and virtual spaces.

MoTA organizes and supports transitory art in the form of continuous events, exhibitions and educational programs both locally and internationally. As its name indicates, MoTA examines what a museum can be today and in the future.

MoTA is in constant search for the new, the uncertain, and the undefined.

MoTA works on several continuous programmes & projects. We run MoTA Point – a Space for Art & Ideas, we curate and produce the annual SONICA Festival, in addition to regular music programmes such as SONICA Series and SONICA Classics.

Within the years of running our residency programme, we’ve established T.R.I.B.E. – a network of residency spaces in the Balkans & Eastern Europe.

We’ve also initiated the research and archive platforms ArtistTalk.eu and Mediateque MoTA & Tomaž Brate. Our educational programmes serve a broader audience with ongoing workshops, talks, symposia, and internships.
