Logos Foundation
Logos Foundation is Flanders' unique organisation for the promotion of new music and audio-related art. For over 40 years, Logos has organised concerts with experimental music, maintained an audio archive and documentation centre, and conducted technological research. Logos' largest - and certainly most impressive - project at the moment is the robot orchestra. Already containing 42 instruments, is by far the largest robot orchestra in the world. The aim of these machines is to produce purely acoustic music, without electronic sounds, but under the complete - and very accurate - control of computers. Using advanced radar and sonar technology, the robots are able not only to reproduce music, but also to react to movement or other kinds of input.
Borealis is celebrating the Logos foundation and its robots with a DJ/VJ performance. Cds, books and other documentation from the foundation will also be available to view or buy.
