While the search for extraterrestrial life continues, what happens when the artist can make themselves alien? Metamorphosis has long been interwoven with myth and culture, and a part of performance tradition, but what does it mean in a secular, technological, scientific age?

We join two artists in conversation, to explore how persona and self-transformation has been part of their practice and also that of the artists that they've encountered. Eric D. Clark was a key figure in the evolution of dance music in both California and Paris before establishing himself in the Berlin scene - a career that itself was invented several times over. On the emerging artist end of the spectrum, Bora, a Hacklab alumnus, uses multiple dimensions of the digital to remake herself. 

The Music Makers Hacklab is presented with CDM, Nusasonic, and the SHAPE platform, which is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. Funded by the Senate Department of Culture and Europe, and Initiative Musik.
