Digital Conditions ø Music Autumn 2024
Event information 
Event
The Music Autumn festival opens with the contemporary music ensemble Synaesthesis presenting its latest program Digital Conditions, featuring compositions by five composers that offer insights into the condition of a modern person, constantly affected by the fragmentation between reality and the digital world.
Reflecting this year's festival theme – Global Issues – the program invites us to explore our relationship with the virtual world. The sonic events unfold conceptually, conveying the impact of technologies and digital media on our lives and culture. The creators navigate between irony, performativity, and refined conceptualism. The program also highlights how the structures of creation, performance, and listening evolve in this era.

GLOBAL ISSUES
As the world stands on the brink of the widespread dominance of artificial intelligence, which may reshape societal structures, with scientists warning that we are nearing the "red line" beyond which the damage to the climate will be irreversible, with the global population surpassing 8 billion, and the Doomsday Clock ticking closer to midnight, it is clear that global challenges could alter our future and everyday lives at any moment. This year's "Muzikos ruduo" festival, from an anthropological perspective, explores issues that are relevant to the entire world or specific regions. How do we see, respond to, and understand these threats and the future of humanity? And why, despite being aware of the magnitude of these dangers, are we unable to unite to save the world
