about the 2022 edition
“Whodentity” is an artificial word with which we at musikprotokoll 2022 want to shed light on currently pressing questions about identities. Who is “we”, what identity is attributed to whom in society in a certain context?
For musikprotokoll 2022 and its concerts with the Ensemble Modern, the vocal ensemble Cantando Admont and with the Vienna RSO, now also conducted by a female conductor, we wanted to turn things around completely after almost 55 years, especially in the structurally most conservative and still very male-dominated concert genre, and premiere music exclusively by female composers.
But interesting aspects are also hidden beyond the binary of female-male in contradictory, subtle, colourful, more radical configurations. Not simply a male supremacy, but the markers of belonging of “human beings” as such and “artificial intelligence”, for example, are at stake.
Alexander Schubert’s project “Unity Switch” and also his project with the AI programme “Av3ry” as a non-binary persona enrich the search for a “whodentity”.
