wish I was there for this :-) marc > Saturday 8th May 2010 19:00 h > Art Kill Art Label Night > > Repulsive Society / Presbyacusis 2 2 20 000 HZ > Yann Leguay / Wireless > Valentina Vuksic / Trippin Through Runtime > Schwarzes Loch (silent loop streaming) by Carl Y > > /// ABOUT ARTKILLART > Artkillart is a label based in Paris and Berlin, created in 2007 by Kévin > Bartoli, Thomas Pigache and Clément Lyonnet. Its purpose is to promote > experimental audiovisual and sound art. In reaction to dematerialized music, > the artists of the label refocus on material objects. They are invited to > conceptualize and design an object exploring the quality, the complexity and > the limits of different media (including the dvd, cd and vinyl) and conceived > as an experience both for the artist and the audience. > > http://artkillart.tk > > /// Repulsive Society / Presbyacusis 2 2 20 000 HZ > > Presbyacusis 2 2 20 000 HZ is a sonic performance based on the frequencies > commonly used by sonic weaponry technology (LRAD, Mosquito, Sonic Nausea, > Mind Molester), the performance explores the outer limits of human hearing > and is not recommended for children, pregnant women and people with heart > disease. You have been warned. > > Repulsive Society is a digital media & sound art collective. Repulsive > Society focuses on subverting the security technologies and the non-lethal > acoustic weapons. > > http://www.repulsivesociety.net > > /// Yann Leguay / Wireless > > Wireless : this word defines every wireless technologies : GSM, UMTS, 3G+, > WiFi : LAN, WLAN… but also the classical hertz frequencies (radio, tv, > radars…) … The various wireless technologies have modified our > communications, but also the electromagnetic landscape, sometimes creating > saturated areas. No one really knows today the exact consequences on the > human brain, it is a true experiment in which we participates. The > performance Wireless proposes to makes audible this invisible landscape. > > Yann Leguay is a visual artist & composer. He is a member of the Radio Free > Robots collective and the director of the label Phonotopy. He’s also the > director oif the Artkillart DRIFT collection. > > http://phonotopy.org > > /// Valentina Vuksic / Trippin Through Runtime > > A collection of elderly laptops is being examined via magnetic pickup > microphones. The microphones transform the magnetic waves around the various > electronic parts of the computers. Each action upon the laptops can be > sensually experienced through a broad range of layered sounds. Already > plugging the power and booting up an operating system reveals an own > small-scale universe of sounds and provides insight into the complex spare > room emerging between hard- and software. This space is being explored and > further modelled by triggering actions on purpose. System analysis tools, > stress tests and custom c-programs shall bring the characteristics of each > machine into the limelight. „Tripping Through Runtime“ is a long-term study, > diving into the invisible interrelationships of hard and soft computer > matters by sensual means. The project aims at provoking and detecting > specific behaviour of individual computer components in match with adequate > software pieces. The microphone demonstrations are part of the first > experiments to become acquainted with the hardware components. > > Valentina Vuksic (CH/NL), is a computer artist and programmer living and > working in Zürich since 2001. > > http://www.harddisko.ch > > /// Carl.Y (Mulhouse- Fr) > > The sound production of Carl.Y. always arises from a strong concept as he was > so well taught in art schools, but finally we fast piss off… It is for it > that it turns, towards the insignificant, the waste because it is of the > decomposition that we bring out the excellence. Schwarzes Loch is a simple > concept, sending silence through the web and playing with its feedback. > > Trained as a visual artist, Carl Y is based in Mulhouse. Since 2000 he has > been involved in several musical projects using streaming technologies and > field recording. He is co-founder of the (((NOMUSIC))) and Noplacard > Festivals (nomusic.org). > > http://auditorium.noweb.org/ > >
