"Nie entstand der Eindruck einer von Technik bestimmten Musik. Chua verwendet die Technik als Mittel zum Zweck, setzt sich musikalisch darüber hinaus und haucht damit ihrer Performance jenes Leben ein, das direkt die Emotionen anspricht."

KM 42: Queering Games // WORKSHOP // Digitale Welt – Digitale Plattformen verspielen
"Die künstlerischen Forscher*innen Laurent Jakimow, Melody Chua und Sebastiaan Cator stellen je eine digitale Plattform vor – wie beispielsweise Google Maps, Wikipedia, Zoom – und leiten uns an, diese spielerisch von ihrem Zweck zu entfremden.
Leitfragen: Wie kann man digitale Strukturen lesen und verstehen? Welche Möglichkeiten bieten sich diese zu durchkreuzen und welche Erkenntnisse werden dabei gewonnen?" - Kein Museum

Artist Interview on Recordedness
"Recordedness is dedicated to questions related to documentation of sound and the act of recording.
What is the purpose of recording when we practice an art form that is placed in an ephemeral time? What is our relationship to materiality and what is the purpose of a materialization of sound? Is it a question of archiving, of leaving an imprint, a trace, such that the recording would only be an "objectified" or concretized means, a materialization to relate our sonic relationship to space and time? Or will the final material indicate and influence the sounds that will be fixed and crystallized? As for the material, why the choice of this or that format and not another? What is its influence on the work?
...The aim here is not to give definitive answers to these questions, nor to give voice to a critique from a single point of view. As Brunhild Ferrari says very well in her text The Microphone's Gaze (in Spectres n°1, Composing Listening), between the one who captures (makes) and the one who listens, there is a difference in the inner perception of the same object seen identically. Dialogue is the way to exchange and enrich each other. We wish here to dialogue and above all to give the voice directly to the artist, on her/his work, her/his thoughts and her/his intentions. Through dialogue, we wish to address different analytical approaches and perceptions, to question the process of creation, which seems to us to be just as important as the final result and would give us additional keys to understanding."

Chaosflöte full recital, interactive electronics, live visuals, ft. Jaira Peyer/Sounding Feet
"Movement. Machine. Freedom. is an interdisciplinary concert experience using live visual projections and live electroacoustic sounds, exploring our creative relationship with machines and movement. What brings us freedom in a performance? What takes it away? How does the relationship between freedom and restriction shape our interactions with each other? By playing with movement as an expressive medium for improvisation and working with the at-times unpredictable behavior of machine agents, sensor-augmented flutist Melody Chua and sensor-augmented dancer Jaira Peyer make translations between the human and machine performance language in order to challenge the human-machine and music-movement relationships in nuanced and powerful ways."

"Queering Games ist ein künstlerisches Forschungsprojekt mit dem Ziel, neue Formen für Kunstwerke, Ausstellungen und deren Rezeption zu finden. Der Titel ist Programm: In Anlehnung an die Queer Theory dient uns Spielen als Methode, gesellschaftliche (Spiel-)Regeln herauszufordern. Am Projektende präsentieren wir dem Publikum innerhalb eines Kunst-Game-Festivals digitale Ausstellungsformate, welche die Erkenntnisse aus dem Projekt interaktiv erfahrbar machen. Laufend weitere Informationen gibt es auf dem Queering Games Blog."
