Corebounce is a collective of artists and scientists with the common goal of mediating between arts, science, and technology. We maintain a number of new media projects and our own multimedia software research platform, Soundium. The Scheinwerfer project is the most active one, dealing with live visuals performance at electronic dance music events. We are organised as a non-profit association and collaborate with a number of partners from education, in particular with ETH Zürich, and industry.

Contact

We are located in Zürich and Lucerne, Switzerland as well as in Singapore. You may contact us via email at info@corebounce.org.
