ADDIO
Dienne’s Addio is a 32 minute study on loss and mourning. Following the death of her grandmother due to covid, and unable to say a proper goodbye due to travel restrictions, Dienne set out to give her Addio through musical form. She lets objects fall, leaves windows open, and lets the wind dust off the shelves. This is the sound of everyday mourning, a taste instead of an event. A lingering, broken and patient work of undeniable beauty.

CONDUCTURIS
Conducturis is an immersive film installation project that delves into the realms of speculative fiction, employing the cinematic language of the road movie to envision the ramifications of constructing an artificial brain within the Swiss landscape.
Following their encounters with key figures in the Human Brain Project during an art research expedition in Geneva from 2019 to 2020, conceptualized by Cédric Noël & Mira Sanders, they stumbled upon a remarkable discovery: a hidden fiber-optic cable linking Geneva to Lugano.
The accompanying original score by Dienne invites audiences to delve into the intersection of human creativity and machine intelligence. Guided by the principle of being "abundant in beauty and rich in disturbances", Dienne embarks on a sonic exploration of the Swiss landscape, translating its ethereal beauty and technological wonders into evocative musical compositions.

"How can a human sound like a machine?"
This intriguing question lies at the heart of Dienne's artistic endeavor.
For her, the soundtrack of Conducturis transcends mere musical notes; it embodies a profound philosophical exploration into the essence of human creativity amidst the rise of artificial intelligence.
Similarly, "How can a human being compose like a machine?" serves as a pivotal inquiry guiding Dienne's creative journey. As she navigates the delicate boundary between human expression and machine cognition, she skillfully intertwines the pulsating rhythms of data transmission with the haunting melodies inspired by artificial landscapes.
Drawing inspiration from the cinematic aesthetics of the road movie genre, as envisioned by Sanders & Noël in their speculation on the construction of an artificial brain, Dienne weaves a sonic tapestry that transports listeners on a contemplative journey through mountains, lakes, and cities.
Each track for Conducturis becomes a testament to the
fusion of brain and landscape, inviting audiences to ponder the limitless potential of human imagination.
As audiences immerse themselves in the evocative world of Conducturis, Dienne's soundtrack serves as a guiding force and perfect companion, leading them through a transcendental experience where reality and imagination merge, and the symphony of human and machine harmonizes seamlessly.
Conducturis emerges as a sensory exploration of the human spirit and the boundless horizons of artificial intelligence.
With Dienne's soundtrack as its heartbeat, this project invites audiences to embark on a voyage of discovery, where the echoes of human creativity reverberate across the digital frontier.

FOLLOWING A WIND LINE:
a situated practice, an ecology of breath
by Mira Sanders & Cédric Noël
Music composed by Dienne
Following a Wind Line: a situated practice, an ecology of breath Following a wind line means entering a movement without a centre. No direction prevails, no form imposes itself: it is a way of approaching a territory through the forces that traverse it. The wind has no place of its own, yet it renders visible the forces that structure a space. It circulates between harbours and dunes, turbines and birds, cables and particles. It links what industry tends to separate: infrastructures and living beings, matter and memory, air and ground.
It is within this circulation that A Wind Line took shape, in the industrial and coastal landscape of Eemshaven, in the north of the Netherlands. Here, the wind is at once an energy resource, a technical constraint and a felt presence. It crosses a territory where every breath of air is counted, converted, rationalised. The project situates itself as an attempt to observe what the wind carries — energies, voices, dust, stories — and what it lets escape.
In this context, the wind is not an object of study but a working partner. It conditions gestures, sets the tempo of research and orients the composition. It connects and dislocates images, lets the narrative drift, redistributes attention. The artistic practice becomes empirical, compositional and critical — it exceeds the frame of representation. Knowledge is formed in passage, in contact with flows that make it possible. A Wind Line explores this regime of attention — a way of thinking and making with the wind.
Dienne’s musical piece extends this instability. Working from recordings of winds, structural noises and instruments, she constructs a sound space in drift. The music becomes a mobile architecture, orienting the visitor’s steps and opening a porous field of listening.
A Wind Line will be part of the ‘Works + Words’ Biennale Exhibition in Aarhus, Denmark, from 05/03/26 to 10/04/26.
