[spectre] Glitch Moment/ums
Sorry for any cross posting... Glitch Moment/ums Saturday 08 June 2013, 2-5pm Exhibition Events Opening Event Saturday 08 June 2013, 2-5pm with glitch performance by Antonio Roberts at 3pm Exhibition Opening times Sunday 09 June - Sunday 28 July 2013 Open Friday to Sunday 11-5pm Curated by Rosa Menkman Furtherfield. Featuring: Alma Alloro, Melissa Baron, Nick Briz, Benjamin Gaulon, José Irion Neto, Antonio Roberts and Ant Scott “The glitch makes the computer itself suddenly appear unconventionally deep, in contrast to the more banal, predictable surface-level behaviours of ‘normal’ machines and systems. In this way, glitches announce a crazy and dangerous kind of moment(um) instantiated and dictated by the machine itself.” Rosa Menkman, 2011. Glitches are commonly understood as malfunctions, bugs or sudden disruptions to the normal running of machine hardware and computer networks. Artists have been tweaking these technologies to deliberately produce glitches that generate new meanings and forms. The high-speed networks of creation and distribution across the Internet have provided the perfect compost to feed this international craze. This exhibition shows various approaches by artists hacking familiar hardware and their devices which include mobile phones, and kindles. They disrupt both the softwares and the digital artefacts produced by these softwares whether it be in the form of video, sound, drawing or woven glitch textiles.

*Most listened podcasts - April 2013 - Ràdio Web MACBA* *1- INTERRUPTIONS #11. Playing phenomena as a compositional material* This mix explores how the use of aural phenomena can manifest in its many forms to become the key element in a compositional practice. By engaging in the use of such expanded sonic techniques the composer can act to create a recalibration of the listeners sense of hearing and by so doing, allow for a reconsideration of what constitutes sonic composition.

Part I* Straddling art and documentation, the restoration work that Kees Tazelaar carries out is a crucial but largely unknown stage in the recovery of historical sound material.

[spectre] .dpi // A new feminist journal of art and digital culture
[ version française ci-dessous ] A new feminist journal of art and digital culture .dpi gets a makeover! (beta version) Current issue's themed section: Hacktivism http://dpi.studioxx.org/en Founded by artist-run-centre Studio XX in 2004, in Montreal, the publication .dpi has recently undergone a major transformation in order to assert itself as a feminist journal of art and digital culture. In 2013, with continuing administrative and technological support from Studio XX, the journal .dpi became an independent project, with a new platform (beta version) and new team including permanent editor in chief, Sophie Le-Phat Ho, and a new editorial committee composed of Julie Alary Lavallée, Amber Berson, Esther Bourdages, Christina Haralanova, Corina MacDonald, Katja Melzer, Candace Mooers and Deanna Radford. In a time when social gains are threatened, funding for artist-run-centres is precarious, and the need for intelligent critique is urgent, the new crew at .dpi wishes to respond to a real need for the creation of an interdisciplinary community of those at once curious and critical of technologies, feminisms and art. Bringing together a dozen local and international participants, .dpi 27 presents a themed section on hacktivism coordinated by Christina Haralanova, a feminist activist and researcher who is interested by freedom in technology and open-source software. Hacktivism: the Art of Practicing Life and Computer Hacking for Feminist Activism brings together unique perspectives and critiques of the current state of hacktivism, a fusion of hacking and activism.

Linda Hilfling ARTICLE Musique et politique, pratiques de femmes Esther Bourdages BOOK REVIEW Where have all the interesting women gone? .dpi Book Club Based in Montreal and published online, .dpi opens a unique and bilingual space for dialogue and interdisciplinary critical reflection, research, experimentation, documentation, and positions and propositions, situated at the intersection of art, technology and feminisms. The journal is a platform where the bold, critical, engaged and curious contributor may question issues related to feminism (in all its varieties), art and digital culture. http://dpi.studioxx.org/ https://www.facebook.com/dpistudioxx https://twitter.com/dpi_revue / VERSION FRANÇAISE Une nouvelle revue féministe d'art et de culture numérique La revue .dpi fait peau neuve! (version beta) Dossier du numéro actuel : Hacktivisme http://dpi.studioxx.org/fr Créée par le centre d'artistes Studio XX en 2004, à Montréal, la revue .dpi a récemment entamé un important processus de transformation afin de s'affirmer en tant que revue féministe d?art et de culture numérique. En 2013, bénéficiant toujours du soutien administratif et technologique du Studio XX, la revue .dpi devient un projet indépendant et se dote d'une nouvelle plateforme (version beta) et d'une nouvelle équipe dont une rédactrice en chef permanente, Sophie Le-Phat Ho, et un nouveau comité de rédaction composé de Julie Alary Lavallée, Amber Berson, Esther Bourdages, Christina Haralanova, Corina MacDonald, Katja Melzer, Candace Mooers et Deanna Radford. Dans un contexte où plusieurs acquis sociaux sont menacés, où le financement des centres d'artistes est précaire et où les activités de critique sont sous-développées, la nouvelle équipe de .dpi expose un besoin réel pour la création d'une communauté interdisciplinaire de personnes à la fois curieuses et critiques des technologies, des féminismes et de l'art. Réunissant une dizaine de participantes locales et internationales, le numéro 27 présente un dossier sur le hacktivisme coordonné par Christina Haralanova, activiste féministe et chercheuse qui s'intéresse à la liberté de la technologie et aux logiciels libres. Ce dossier, intitulé « Le hacktivisme : l'art d'interconnecter activisme technologique et féminisme », rassemble des points de vue uniques et critiques sur l'état actuel du hacktivisme, une fusion du hacking et de l'activisme.

Originally published at the UN website. UN Can we talk about the idea of the ecstatic? You make music, or sound pieces, that are very repetitive and monotonous, and then you’ve chosen to work with a voice that goes into ecstasy. What fascinates you about this? LÅ I believe that in a state of ecstasy, if you’re able to reach it, which is pretty difficult – but if you reach this state, then you’re as close to total freedom as a human being can get. Then you’re completely open – open to yourself and to the world around you. I think of it as a way of reaching some kind of understanding. UN OK. So it’s about transforming the body, by subjecting it to the treatment of certain sounds. LÅ Yes. If you’re treated really hard, if you’re exposed to certain stimuli, then it will have a physical effect on you. What interests me is the state of non-control you can reach. In a sense, totally uncontrolled thoughts and experiences can appear. This type of sounds can have hallucinatory effects as well. UN This is something you’re usually working with, aren’t you? LÅ Yes, or at least it’s always been there as an element. Hypnosis is another state that interests me, on the side of ecstasy. It’s a similar state, a state on the same level but at another end. It’s somehow always present in what I do. And it’s really not about anything else than entering into a certain state. UN You work quite differently from other contemporary sound artists. I imagine it has to do with the fact that you want to
[spectre] Fantomton release [FT006] Radarstation 2
Out now!!: the new Fantomton release [FT006] Radarstation 2 Download here for free: http://fantomton.de/ft006-radarstation-2/ The abandoned listening station on the Teufelsberg Berlin has a magical atmosphere. The industrial area with its rusty metal surfaces, broken glass and the unique acoustic in the domes provide a rich repertoire of fascinating sounds which reflect the area’s ambience. We could not resist the attraction of the place and visited it in 2009, equipped with microphones and recording devices. Subsequently the recordings were given to some musicians in order to get different interpretations of the sound material. The goal was to translate the impressions of the place into music. Recently more artists decided to work with our sound material to produce new tracks for this second Radarstation album, thus creating more versatile perspectives of that soundscape. __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
