Keynote: Photographing Matter: A Conversation with Christina Dimitriadis

Eric Rosenzveig (Montreal Canada) has worked broadly in and through the arts over the past four decades - as a practicing musician, artist, artistic researcher, arts administrator, curator and academic.

Since 2024 he’s been focussed on two research projects: Place is the Space, a project to capture and share forest, field and clearcut acoustic spaces from the Šumava National Park; and Uncanny Valleys, using AI musical end user tools in the creation of new music, an extension of his long practice creating generative musical works. 

From 2013-2018 his software project NARRA 1.0 continued his exploration of open narrative structures, resulting in his book Conflations, playListNetWork and NARRA, software design as artistic practice (2020 NAMU Press, Prague). 

His works, in collaboration with visual artist Willy LeMaitre have been exhibited in New York City at The Kitchen, Bitforms Gallery, The New Museum, Canada Gallery, and at venues internationally, and include the artificial life system The Appearance Machine, the Space Arm series of interactive installations, consumer electronics as artworks including FUNTV, the collaborative media authoring and display software environments playListNetWork and displayList and others. 

He was the Department Chair of FAMU’s Center For AudioVisual Studies from 2009-2018 where he continues to teach. He’s also taught Contemporary Composition and Sound Design for Cinema at NYU Prague Global since 2011. He’s lived and worked in Prague since 2007.
