From the Assessment Committee’s Report:
• "a deep thinker that furthermore has the capacity to bring his reflections into play in various coherent artistic projects"
• "deep understanding of the human relationship with machines, which makes his research highly relevant, actualized and
important"
• "alternative way of applying smartphones in an art project, that manages to produce a captivating and coherent musical
aesthetic. It is clear that G.E., as a composer and programmer, has succeeded to control the overall musical expression of the
sonic field, but at the same time let the audience become co-creators of the artwork"
