"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."

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
