The collective ooo was founded in spring of 2020 as a dedicated space for sound art, contemporary music and intermedia art. The founding members are Fero Király and Eva Vozárová. The duo founded JAMA intermedia art event in 2019 as part of their collaboration with ISCM – Slovak Section and Cluster ensemble. JAMA was also the starting point of the need for a new initiative dedicated specifically to intermedia and interdisciplinary projects and to collaborations with other creators in this field.
The name ooo was originally intended to be read as “ó” (Slovak long “oh”), but we enjoy any other possible interpretation that may come up. The name arose from our preoccupation with sound, but, equally, it is also an interjection expressing the ever-important sense of wonder. At the same time, ooo is a triple zero, an absence, a visual expression of a rounded or negative space – that is, a pit (in Slovak: jama) from which our activities emerged.
Fero Király is a musician. He studied piano, but focuses on interdisciplinary projects with an interest in digital technologies and their intersections with music.
