Programme
Installations running permanently from 10:00-19:00 1-3 June 2018
All installations are new commissions for this edition of Tuned City and have been developed and produced specifically for the context of the sites of Ancient Messene and the village of Mavromati. Due to the very site-specific nature of the projects and the unique conditions of the historical environment, some projects and ideas may vary somewhat in regard to their appearance, contents or location during the actual on-site development process.
The installations are running permanently for the duration of the event, from June 1st to June 3rd, 10:00 to 19:00 hrs. Some of the projects have performative activations or link with presentation moments into the proceedings.

pre-events:
Day 1_ 01/6 "Listening Politics"
‘Listening Politics’ is departing from the human voice, the articulation of thought, the soliloquy oral histories, and the use and misuse of language. It strives to delve into systems of power and law, the production of space through social interaction and the constitution of the political by way of negotiating interests: from disembodied voices and voiceless bodies, intentional hearing – being close, immersed or taking distance. From speaking to an audience and listening as an energetic act, sketching the layout and sensing the limitations and borders, aiming thus to the very structures of a city of discourse.

Day 2_ 02/6 "Media Matters"
Written in the formations of landscape, constantly transformed by geological activities and forces of weather – settlements have grown by need or will. Typologies between imagined or forgotten pasts. Analogue filter storage systems. Oscillating between natural media, manufactured, engineered, constructed – ruined, grained down consistently by natural processes and decay to small particles, becoming something else or sediment again. Excavated, read, analysed, transcribed, decoded, preserved, filed, mediated and forgotten: This day listens to issues of materiality and interpretation, archeology and beyond.

Day 3_03/6: "Spectral Ambiences"
Multiple invisible cities exist beyond and among its material layers. Dense mythologies and complex believe systems reinforce the respective findings, yet establish alternative narratives at the same time. Oracles, cults and rituals are of constituting presence for the atmosphere of the place. But measurable energies and detectable charges, conductive and piezoelectric potentials, radiations, air pressure fields and all sorts of related phenomena also inhabit a wide range of this spectrum. Listening and sensing as subjective practice and productive speculation culminate in the final instalment of this series, but by no means conclude it.
