Synthetic Magnetic
Synthetic Magnetic is an interactive audiovisual web-based artwork that approaches transformation as an unstable, non-linear process of continuous disruption and reconfiguration. It constitutes a parametric system in which change emerges through deviations, “errors,” and temporary recompositions of image and sound. The work constructs a digital environment of interwoven moving forms that function as a fragile synthetic ecosystem. While its structure appears coherent, it remains exposed to micro-disruptions and glitch events that do not operate as aesthetic effects, but as active forces that reorganize the system’s behavior. The audiovisual composition is structured through a parametric feedback loop: each disturbance alters rhythm, movement, and sonic field, leading the system toward temporary states of equilibrium that carry traces of decay and recomposition. The user does not simply observe, but acts as a determinant agent of disruption within a semi-autonomous system, activating transformations that reveal its dynamic and keep the process open and unpredictable.
Gina Stavropoulou | GR
Gina Stavropoulou is an architect, musician, and audiovisual artist working across spatial practice, performance, and code. Her work explores the entanglements between media theory and spatial ontology through artistic research, extending from urban space to hybrid physical-digital environments. Drawing from music, electroacoustic practices, and spatial thinking, she composes performative systems where voice, sound, image, and code operate as evolving scores : looping, glitching, and reconfiguring in real time, often in site-responsive or installation-based forms. Technology is approached as a transparent yet unstable interface: a space of feedback, latency, and continuous presence. Her work traces micro-ecologies, rhythms, and fractures across environments where bodies, data, and space co-exist. Her work unfolds across exhibitions and artistic contexts, while her research extends into texts and publications that extend her practice, with participations in programmes and residencies such as ADAF, the G. & A. Mamidakis Foundation residency programme, and European initiatives including Digital on Stage and Erasmus+.
