Conny Zenk is a transdisciplinary artist who combines visual art, performance and sound art to explore the ways in which a collective body is shaped by sound art and community practices. Her work explores, interrupts and renegotiates her findings by engaging directly with sound art and cycling communities. Since 2014, she has curated the participatory event series RAD Performance. Entitled Dance your Bike! she is developing a new composition format for the bicycle, as part of an Artistic Research Pilot Project at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. Since 2020, Zenk has been working on a new music format such as Soundrides in public space. Zenk, lives and works in Vienna, and completed a Diploma in Digital Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, where she is currently in the PhD in Art program.

Robin Rutenberg (they/them) is a sound and media artist with an emphasis on trans*feminist world-building through storytelling & performance, experiential sound, experimental composition, digital arts, and poetry. Robin works across mediums, from interactive extended reality (VR & AR), to film, to sound installations. Their practice is steeped in ruminations on gender, family, and kinship and asks how [missed]communication and [mis]understanding within and between bodies, objects, and environment inform these relations. They are deeply interested in the affective power of using one’s voice, speaking with the body, and being witnessed as generative acts of healing and connection.
Robin runs the XR-Lab at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin and holds an MA in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts from the University of Arts Berlin.

Polly Korbel invites us to their void:
Convenience offers you nothing.
Visitors inherit a concrete pre-fab box and an undriveable car amidst an eternal afternoon.
What will you make of this space not intended to be entertainment? When everything is taken away from us what can we uncover? How will you understand yourself and those around you within this space of utter lack? How might we already cocreate and inhabit spaces of nonexistence?
Polly is either on the roof staring at the sun named “jay” or “silent bob” in a concrete box trying, but failing, to use a microscope, not becoming the thing itself but becoming the reflection of the thing.
