CEAM Artists is a platform that brings together performers and engineers from the Center for Electroacoustic Music (CEAM). It focuses on cooperation with composers and media artists, as well as on tutoring young performers. For each performance, the engineers create an original scenography with a light score and live video. In many concerts, musicians perform not only with classical instruments but also with various devices, including motion sensors, VR glasses, and electronic instruments.
