About


Petr Němec develops a sound-based practice at the intersection of composition, performance, installation, and participatory situations. In his work, sound is understood not only as an acoustic phenomenon,¨ but as a material force and a relational medium through which porous boundaries between the human body, technical systems, and the environment can be explored.

His long-term interests include collective listening, the corporeality of vibration, and the relationships between space and body, time and memory, presence and its traces. He is interested in how imaginatively composed situations can transform involuntary hearing into conscious listening, and how they can create conditions for more intense experiences of encounter.

His practice seeks to connect inner and outer landscapes of perception and to develop forms of shared attention in which imagination, participation, and sensitivity to environment become tools for a deeper lived experience.

Research

Exconv

The exconv research introduces an experimental toolkit for 1D and 2D FFT-based convolution, providing a unified framework for sophisticated cross-modal mappings between audio, images, and video. Through techniques such as spectral sculpting, the project establishes a bi-directional dialogue where audio spectra shape visual parameters like radial filters and YCbCr channels, while video frames can reciprocally influence sonic textures. Positioned as a technologically pioneering form of sound art, this work utilizes the digital signal chain to reveal phenomena unrecognizable to the eye by embracing an aesthetics of failure, including glitches and unconventional algorithmic processes.
