- Sonic Acts is an organisation for the research, development and production of works at the intersection of art, science and theory. It also commissions and co-produces new works, often in collaboration with international festivals, arts organisations, funders and other partners. Founded in 1994, Sonic Acts organises the biennial Sonic Acts Festival in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Over the years, it has established itself as a thematic festival with a strong focus on contemporary and historical developments at the intersections of art, technology, music and science. The festival has invited many well-known artists and musicians such as the Vasulkas, Autechre, Pauline Oliveros, and Florian Hecker, as well as theorists and scientists such as Graham Harman, Saskia Sassen, Timothy Morton, Benjamin H. Bratton, Raphael Bousso, and George Dyson. Each festival edition explores the chosen theme by means of an international conference, a wide range of concerts and performances, exhibitions and screenings, and embraces a broad spectrum of fields, practices and disciplines. The 25th anniversary edition of Sonic Acts Festival took place in 2019 at Paradiso (Amsterdam), Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, De Brakke Grond, Muziekgebouw aan het IJ and Arti et Amicitiae. More recently, Sonic Acts organises the biennial Sonic Acts Academy, which alternates each year with the festival. The Academy is a new platform that aims to grow, expand, sustain and disseminate stimulating discourse about artistic research. Its first edition took place in 2016 at various locations in Amsterdam. The most recent edition of Sonic Acts Academy was held from 21 to 23 February 2020. (en)
