Month Of Sunday's Live A/V Net Performances


Furthernoise.org - Month Of Sunday's Live A/V Net Performances
11th June 2006 16.00 - 18.00 BST (GMT +1)

16.00 -16.45 hrs Paul Wilson & James Smith
For this next Month of Sundays performance Paul Wilson and James Smith
are mixing an audio/visual 'typography of place' where field recordings
are combined with reprocessed images and sounds made in the extreme
environment of former weapons testing lab at Orford Ness. They have
collaborated on a range of projects which centre around techniques of
sonic typography: using linguistic and alphabetic processes and systems
to convert images, places and words into sound.

Recent projects have included a commission for The Wire magazine where
the publication's covers of 2005 were reprocessed into a twelve-minute
audio mix, and two installations for the upcoming 'Paintwork' exhibition
at the Praxis Hagen gallery, Berlin where The Fall's '27 Points' album
cover has been translated into both sound and (moving) image.

16.45 - 18.00 - Open Mix
Everyone is welcome to join this Open Mix which is one big A/V
collaboration including contributions from online viewers in a host
locations & time zones. For anyone who wants to contribute to this mix,
media files must be a maximum of 200k and can be mp3, swf, flv & jpg
formats. All mixes will be recorded to be featured in the next issue.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: notes for a hypothetical essay on relocating the aura


Hi curt,

Well, that just about rounds it up I reckon - next subject!

>Hi Marc,
>
>It will be a happy day when the majority of networked art is *not* about the network itself. That's what I was making fun of here: http://deepyoung.org/current/dyskonceptual/ . I think media can change us if we expose ourselves to it, but I live in out here in the woods. The local paper mill is the technology that most radically effects the lives of my neighbors, or the technology of farming, which hasn't changed much.
>
>I'm suspicious of the assumption that advancements in media inherently and radically redefine and evolutionize every single person on the planet. I dig McLuhan's tenet that media alter sense ratios pan-culturally, but I think it happens to greater and lesser degrees. Like William Gibson's observation that the future has arrived; it's just not evenly distributed. Urban dwellers and 24/7 media junkies can fall into a kind of parochial trap and think that their world is *the* world. This can lead to some pretty tepid, myopic art. It is politically incorrect to lump "the orient," but nobody has a problem talking about "our contemporary culture." As you point out, simply watching someone on television doesn't make them part of "our contemporary culture."
