Christian Duka is a sound designer/artist of the generation that emerged in the wake of digital technology. He is the founder of AMOENUS, a non-profit organisation that focuses on promoting the advancement of music as multisensory, participatory experience.
Christian explores sound art in cross art-forms collaborations involving contemporary dance, performance and visual artists in the context of multisensory, audio-visual environments. Here, space becomes an instrument at the hand of the artist, a tool at the service of multisensory design.
He explores the affective power and psychological implications of sound-driven interdisciplinary artistic experiences, and the absence of boundaries separating audiences from performers. Sharing the same stage, by seeing and being seen simultaneously, here audiences become participants, acting and reacting in collaboration.
Inspired by the quote “Art is son of its time and mother of our own emotions” by Kandinsky, Christian ultimately investigates the potential of contemporary art to increase one’s own understanding of the present day human condition.
Aside from this work, Christian has taught audiovisual production, sound design and music production in higher education for seven years (SAE Institute and Greenwich University) before engaging in knowledge sharing activities as a freelancer. He has also produced and performed music in various collaborative musical projects, most notably MARMO (with Marco Maldarella) and Vādin (with Lucie Stepankova).
