SUMMARY:AIR Lab Listen Up! Session #5: The Emotional Life of a Painting
DESCRIPTION:In the fifth instalment of AIR Lab’s Listen Up! Sessions\, AIR Lab welcomes visual artist Julien Deiss and sound artist Tao Højgaard for an afternoon of deep listening\, artist talks\, and live performance. The session centres on inspiration\, creativity\, artistic method\, and the generative potential of collaboration across art forms. \nJulien Deiss reflects on artistic process from the perspective of painting\, focusing on intuition\, material engagement\, and the role of other art forms in the development of visual practice. Tao Højgaard continues from the perspective of sound\, considering how music can enter cross-aesthetic work not as accompaniment\, but as an active and structuring presence. Together\, their presentations open onto the question of what becomes possible when artistic media do not merely coexist\, but begin to transform one another through shared methods and technological integration. \nEVENT ORGANIZER\nAIR Lab \nDATE AND TIME\nFriday April 10th at 15:30 – 17:00

SUMMARY:Protein Synthesis as Musical Structure – Thesis Concert
DESCRIPTION:AIR Lab presents Protein Synthesis as Musical Structure\, a thesis concert exploring how biology can shape live electronic music. The concert is centered on BioScape\, a design research artefact and biology audio workstation developed in the intersection of HCI\, artistic research\, musification\, and molecular biology. While earlier empirical work around the project has examined how biological actors may use music as a sensory and affective lens on their own field\, this concert turns the perspective around and explores the usefulness of biology as compositional logic for musicians. \nIn the performance\, biological structure is treated not as metaphor\, but as an organizing principle for live electronic music. Sequence-based relations shape rhythm\, harmonic movement\, and larger musical form\, producing patterns that remain coherent while resisting familiar periodic stability. The concert asks what it means to compose and perform through an external biological logic\, and how improvising musicians respond to a structure that is internally consistent yet unfamiliar in its temporal and harmonic behavior. \nThe performance features Thor Madsen (guitar)\, Malthe Beck (tenor saxophone)\, Steen Rock (electronics)\, and Tao Højgaard\, designer of BioScape. \nEVENT ORGANIZER\nTao Højgaard

SUMMARY:AIR Lab Listen Up! Session #6: A Participatory Concert with Tara Pattenden (AU)
DESCRIPTION:Air Lab Listen Up! Session #6 is here\, and this time the australian artist and researcher Tara Pattenden will present a participatory concert with malleable wearable electronic instruments developed through her work as an artist\, instrument maker\, and performer. The concert invites audiences into a tactile and exploratory sound environment\, where soft circuitry\, deformable interfaces\, and wearable instruments become tools for improvisational play and shared sound-making.\nPattenden’s practice explores the relationship between materiality\, agency\, and participation. Her instruments reduce familiar technological signifiers and instead foreground touch\, texture\, shape\, and bodily interaction. In doing so\, they open a space where sound performance is shaped through direct material engagement\, collaborative expression\, and the shifting relations between performer\, audience\, instrument\, and sound.\nTara Pattenden is an artist\, instrument maker\, noise performer\, and PhD candidate at the Queensland Conservatorium\, Griffith University. Her work builds on two decades of practice in interactive arts\, experimental sound\, wearable electronics\, and participatory performance. She is also the founder of Cyber Bunker\, an artist-run not-for-profit supporting electronic and experimental arts in Magandjin/Brisbane\, Australia. \nEVENT ORGANIZERS(S)\nDoga Cavdir \nDATE AND TIME\nJune 12th 15:30 – 17:00

SUMMARY:NORDES summer school 2026
DESCRIPTION:out of studios // on to sites:\ntemporalities of (design research)\nliving labs in the wild\nThe Nordes summer school in 2026 invites design researchers to embed their\nwork in a specific site and imagine how that site might change their work and\nthe work might change the site’s future. Site matters: Its particulars inform\nour research interests and aims\, and our being there impacts particulars seen\nand unseen. This includes potential participants invited and not invited to\nengage\, places remade to scaffold encounters\, and outcomes framed to scope\nconcerns among other things. In this way\, perhaps starting with a site is not\nabout what it might provide for design research\, and instead about what doing\ndesign research does\, regardless of what it intends to do. \nWe take a neighborhood in Copenhagen—Sønderbro—as both a living lab and\nproving ground for emerging design imaginaries. Sønderbro offers a site for\nlocal fabulation\, developing alternative imaginaries for how we might want to\nlive and a way to investigate new forms of participation in design—as a thing\, as\nan arrangement\, and as an investigation. This summer school imagines a design\nprocess as always being a matter of public concern\, and positions design as a\nform of invitation to approach a question in novel as well as local ways\,\nexploring the mundane adjacencies of research topics. Bringing design research\nout of the studio comes with a particular ethos and corresponding\nmethodological and theoretical commitments that we will explore with\nco-organizers and invited lectures. \nWhile the inquiry focuses on the advantages of leaving the studio\, the summer\nschool also has a production component. Exhibition is foregrounded throughout\nthe process\, as we learn about each other’s projects\, filter them through a\nsited research-through-design process\, and develop new materials that curate\ndifferent modes of experiencing ongoing research. \nThrough the exhibition format\, we draw out the temporality of design research\nwithin\, upon\, and without site. Within: the process; upon: the more standard\nexhibition—a “frozen” moment; and without: its traveling afterward\, how it\n“ferments” and develops through interventions and experiments. This also\nspecifically relates to us both being there as well as afterwards presenting\,\nexhibiting\, and discussing what was done\, acknowledging the ongoingness of it. \nWe expect participants to gain a new perspective on their own research as\ninflected by the site\, as well as a combination of public\, expert\, and collegial\nfeedback on projects that can help propel the work forward. As a result of this\nsummer school\, we hope to build a network of practitioners that can push the\nboundaries of design research and help to construct the practice in the future. \nTeacher // Facilitators\nThomas Binder\, IT University of Copenhagen\nKarey Helms\, Umeå Institute of Design\nTom Jenkins\, IT University of Copenhagen\nTau Lenskjold\, University of Southern Denmark\nHeidi Pietarinen\, University of Lapland\nAnna-Mamusu Wehlitz\, IT University of Copenhagen
