Sonic Acts Festival

Different venues, Amsterdam

With The Dark Universe, Sonic Acts celebrates the deeply rooted human desire to occupy ourselves with things we don't know. The arts and sciences have always been at the core of our exploration of the unknown.


comunicato stampa

The starting point for the theme The Dark Universe are recent developments in science which suggest that the world in which we live is more unfamiliar and even weirder than we have imagined.

Because our senses only enable us to perceive a fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum, we have developed an array of instruments to extend our capabilities and detect radiation across the entire spectrum, from gamma to radio waves.

Using the Planck Space Observatory we are now able to study cosmic background radiation at a very high resolution, looking back to the birth of the universe. And on 4 July 2012 the Large Hadron Collider detected the ‘missing’ Higgs boson, a fundamental part of the Standard Model of particle physics.

Still, what these immensely advanced instruments record is probably only a tiny part of reality. Astronomical observations from previous decades can only be explained by postulating the existence of large quantities of matter and energy that we are unable to see, hear or measure. Only 4 per cent of the universe is made of ordinary matter, the other 96 per cent is completely dark to us.

With The Dark Universe, Sonic Acts celebrates the deeply rooted human desire to occupy ourselves with things we don’t know. The arts and sciences have always been at the core of our exploration of the unknown, the strange, and the unfamiliar.

For The Dark Universe, Sonic Acts brings together scientists, artists, theorists, musicians and composers to explore the boundaries ww of our knowledge, investigate how to make the invisible imaginable, learn how to embrace the unknown, and to guide us through the dark universe.
