Bio
GLTI.CH is a collaborative mess between Kyougn Kmi and Daniel Rourke that breaches hopeless distances with cultural and technical make-dos. Our work brings people together in glitchy karaoke fests, broken DJ mix-haps, and other kludged-together happenings. Since April 2011 we’ve exposed the course of accidents, temporal lyrical disjoints and technical out-of syncs between, among others, London/Seoul/Kumamoto with Meanwhile Space, Liverpool/London with MercyUK, Amsterdam/Chicago/London with glidottcslashh, Amsterdam/Berlin/Seoul/Manchester as part of ANDfestival, and with The White Building, Hackney Wick. We’ve made the mishmashed world of GLTI.CH through play and we hope you’ll join us.

Washing Machine Magazine is an independent, multimedia publication that showcases projects by creatives working in sound and image.

It is presented through two connected platforms: a printed publication and a website that integrates the print content through video and audio supplements.
Every featured project reflects the contemporary age in its multi-faceted reality.

Art and media are explored where artists and designers communicate concepts, re-configure ideas, collaborate and combine different elements.

Washing Machine Magazine features interviews with artists, multimedia content and examines the impact of innovative, digtal tools and new processes on creative media today.
Issue 1 showcases emerging artists’ and designers’ projects that represent basic natural elements through digital media. In some projects visuals describe sounds, in some others sounds describe physical objects.
The first issue’s title ‘White Wash’ indicates not only purity, energy and freshness but also a starting point – a blank space to interact with.

EVENT

London Structural Sound Project // Florian Tuercke // Project Launch


Dates:
Thu May 22, 2014 12:00 - Fri Jun 13, 2014

Location:
london, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Arebyte is proud to present ‘London Structual Sound Project’ with the artist Florian Tuercke which with the assistance of the general public will transform the area of Hackney Wick, East London and its surroundings to one with the highest density of public microphones in the world and offer a new-unheard way to experience the area. The project is participatory in its nature and invites the public to take a crucial part in its production through the distribution of the microphones throughout the vicinity (1km radius) of the gallery.

Tuercke will assemble 300 mini-contact microphones which will then be handed out to visitors of arebyte gallery to be installed in different locations by the public. The contact-microphones record sound-waves within solid materials and enable the listener to hear sounds which are normally inaudible to the human ear.

A recording-team, consisting of the artist and collaborators will visit each site and take a unique field sample of each place. Each microphone will have its own characteristics; its location and the material it’s mounted on, thus giving a unique sound-scape of the city. The sound of the city will then be used by the artist (together with other sonic art collaborators) to be re-composed within the gallery space to create a macro sound map of the city. The interactive maps (which will be online and projected in the gallery) will grow and expand as the microphones are implemented. The map will feature the sounds and will be as an interactive sound-installation in itself. The audience will be able play with the sounds, discover and compose as they wish. This interactive sound-map will remain after the project as online-version.

Tuercke a German sound artist working mainly in the public sphere, creates works which are interactive and participatory involving the audience in the production process whilst inviting them to listen rather than hear. Tuercke’s latest projects have existed in Spain, Estonia, Finland, Poland, USA and Germany.

The project is kindly supported by Diversity Art Forum, Arbeit Project Ltd and the donation of the public through Indiegogo Crowd Funding.

EVENT

beginnings and ends of >Artist talk with Mirko Nikolic


Dates:
Sat May 17, 2014 15:00 - Sat May 17, 2014

Location:
london, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

beginnings and ends of >Artist Talk with Mirko Nikolic

The performative talk will close the ten-days walk by tracing the macro score and the micro steps of the piece. What lay before, what took place during. An attempt to build the story of the voyage. To connect the pieces of data into a flow. To retrace some of the lines among the trees scattered over the golden gridded blue carpet. To bring forward what did not surface in the near-infrared images and lines of numbers and letters. To point towards emerging or not-yet-conceivable ecological present-futures. To think where to go next.

The performative talk will be followed by an open and informal discussion.

Saturday May 17, 2014, 3 - 5pm
