Join us for a very spe­cial event at Zoo Linz!

qujOchÖ explores the con­nec­tions between ani­mal, human and arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence in a six-hour for­ay. Artis­tic works on par­rots and Alexa, the Codex Seraphini­anus and the Kafkaesque “A Report to an Acad­e­my” meet con­tri­bu­tions to ani­mal psy­chol­o­gy from 1912, read by Domini­ka Meindl and the three don­keys Jol­ly, Fejale­ma & Big­gi. In addi­tion, there will be a zoo­log­i­cal tour with assis­tant zoo direc­tor Melanie Saxinger, explor­ing the ques­tion of ani­mal intel­li­gence, and a lec­ture by There­sa Rössler from the Gof­fin Lab at the Messer­li Research Insti­tute at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Vet­eri­nary Med­i­cine Vienna.

The grand finale will then take place on the pet­ting zoo stage with two live con­certs. Elvin Brand­hi is “an impro­vis­ing lyri­cist, pro­duc­er and sound artist from Brid­gend, Wales, who builds aber­rant beats from field record­ings, tape, vinyl, instru­ment and voice.” (SHAPE Plat­form) Recent­ly she per­formed at fes­ti­vals like LINZ FMR (2019), Son­ic Acts Acad­e­my Ams­ter­dam (2020), Donaufes­ti­val Krems (2021), Club Trans­me­di­ale (2022), Super­son­ic Birm­ing­ham (2023) or Aton­al Berlin (2023). Sup­port comes from OGDL (Gun­de­ga Grau­d­i­na, Ozan Tez­varan), two musi­cians around the Tan­gi­ble Music Lab at Art Uni­ver­si­ty Linz.
