Keynote Speakers
The Audiovisual Symposium explores the relationship between sound and image, bringing together perspectives from research, artistic practice, and technology. We are therefore very happy to introduce our two keynote speakers, whose work and perspectives will contribute to the symposium’s exploration of the audiovisual.
Johan Lundberg
Johan Lundberg is active as a multimedia artist and composer-performer at the intersection of sound, installation art and electroacoustic composition. In recent years, his focus has been on treatment of sound in spatial installations and/or performances. He enjoys working collaboratively in interdisciplinary artistic contexts which will be a topic discussed during his talk at the symposium.
He holds a bachelor's degree in music performance from the Academy of Music in Malmö and a master's degree in composition with a focus on electroacoustic music from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.
