Amnesia Scanner & Freeka Tet^FI/DE+FR/US

Amnesia Scanner, the Berlin-based Finnish duo has been reshaping the electronic music landscape since its inception in 2014. Renowned for their innovative approach, the duo explores the intersections of music production, performance, and the evolving landscape of digital culture. Their work delves into the implications of system vulnerabilities and informational overload, expressing these themes through a unique sonic palette that blends elements of grime, trap, and rave. Their albums, including the groundbreaking Another Life and Tearless, showcase a distinctive use of the AI-generated voice, Oracle, which intertwines human-like and mechanical qualities to create an uncanny auditory experience. This voice, central to their narrative, questions the nature of humanity in the digital age. Amnesia Scanner's performances are not just auditory but are holistic sensory experiences, often enhanced by their collaboration with visual arts collectives such as PWR.

Working with references like Aphex Twin and Childish Gambino, and consulting for brands like Prada and Google, Freeka Tet brings a provocative and transformative perspective to both his personal projects and commercial collaborations. His art, frequently featured in prestigious venues like Art Basel and the Fondation Cartier, continually pushes the boundaries of how digital art is perceived and experienced.
