Postdigital Aesthetics is a sonic essay responding to the question: “What’s coming after the digital reality or beyond that?”
We are experiencing times of isolation and restrictions on movement on a global level and the digital space has now expanded enough to sustain our work, social life, sex life, co-operation and research. But how much distortion are we absorbing in the digital space?

How is our presence being defined when losing connection, reconnecting, logging in and off, we are an avatar at one moment and the next one, we are a frozen image mumblingand glitching. So, postdigital aesthetics is all about that glitching that comes to de-construct the capital of a well-designed digital world that encompasses everything.

I have used recorded fragments of a lecture presented in 2018 in London as part of the Culture and Politics series of lectures organised by the AntiUniversity.

BIO:
Georgia Pazarloglou is a sound artist, performer and sound designer. She was born in 1990 in Thessaloniki, Greece. In 2014 she graduated from the Music Studies Department, School of Fine Arts, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, holding an integrated MA Degree of Music.

As a musicologist, her research addressed underrepresented music genres and practices, as well as avant-garde and modernist approaches to music making.
She is generally interested into the politics of music subculture and social disobedience.

She engaged with music historiography in a critical way, as a member of the research study group Critical Music Histories (AUTH University of Thessaloniki)
and contributed to collective publications and open lectures (www.mus.auth.gr/cms/?q=node/2059).

In June 2018 she graduated from UAL, Central Saint Martins’ College of Art and Design,holding a MA in Performance Design and Practice. Her practice focused on sound performance and she attempted to approach sound composition as both a scenographic element for performance, and a performative element by its own means. Currently, she explores sound through its spatial and physical qualities, interrelated to autobiographical archiving and/or oral histories with the use of audiovisual narratives and mixed media.

She advocates a wider distributed, socially engaged and democratic art, as a means to address issues of migration, social politics, patriarchy, mental health and anti-establishment disobedience.

She works with field recordings, as much as improvisational practices and sound design for performance. In her personal work, she often uses oral archives and autobiographical material, poetry and speech in the form of everyday quotes. She is a member of the Subphonics experimental music collective, based in London (subphonics.wixsite.com/subphonics).

She has performed live in various venues in London, Oxford, Athens and Thessaloniki, such as the Zabludowicz Gallery, Platform Theatre, Ovada Gallery, Thessaloniki Concert Hall, Rabbithole Theatre, Fokianou Art Space and numerous other fringe art spaces.

As a sound designer, she has collaborated with international artists, choreographers and theater groups such as the Improbable Theatre Company, Cut Moose and Irene Ros, Eleonora Siarava and Per_Dance Choreographic Research platform (Step-in performance-production 2020), Nasia Papavasiliou, Art Flux Productions and Lucrezia Pollice, Barbara Englert (for the documentary Branded-production 2017-2018), Medea Electronique (for the Kera, One Stage Festival-summer 2019) and the Museolab, Laboratory for Museology of the University of the Aegean.

In the educational field she has focused on free music improvisation and facilitated various workshops. In 2016 she facilitated a series of music improvisation workshops for refuges and teachers in Lesvos island, Greece and in 2018, she collaborated with Improbable Theatre Company for Generations Project in London (collaborative project among CSM, Improbable Theatre Company, All Changes and Claremont Centre Islington), focusing on theatre improvisation for elders. This collaboration prompted a series of workshops with participants from both All Changes and Claremont, which Georgia facilitated along the video artist anddirector Irene Ros. Currently, she is based in Athens, Greece.
