ELECTROFOLIE 1 : @THENEUM 20.21.22 janvier 1999
Cest la premire dition de ces rendez-vous proposs par latheneum, le
centre culturel multimdia de Dijon Son principe est de prsenter des
formes artistiques nouvelles en respectant trois rgles :
- remettre en cause le rapport acteur / spectateur et les normes de
dure des spectacles.
- multiplier les genres artistiques proposs : performances, spectacles,
installations
interactives et vidos, installation en ralit virtuelle.
- offrir en soire les MIX de DJs reconnus et faire connatre les Labels
franais ou
trangers les plus cratifs. Chaque soire propose aux spectateurs un
parcours entre les diffrentes salles de latheneum.
atheneum Centre Culturel Multimdia
Depuis plusieurs saisons, sa programmation avait explor de manire
exprimentale les diffrentes facettes de la pluridisciplinarit. Or les
techniques autorisent aujourdhui aller beaucoup plus loin dans la
confrontation, en ce quelles largissent lespace en rduisant les
distances, en ce quelles dilatent le temps en rduisant la dure.
Mais il ne sagira pas de sombrer dans le mystique virtuel ou dans le
ftichisme des techniques.Par son exprience, par sa situation,
l@theneum peut contribuer un dveloppement du contenu port par ses
nouveaux outils. Il entend apporter une double preuve : dune part,
quune appropriation est possible par le plus grand nombre, dautre
part, quune production nouvelle peut merger ici et maintenant.

From: r a d i o q u a l i a <radioqualia@va.com.au>
The Contemporary Arts Centre of South Australia presents:
e Q
four concurrent sound installations
curated by r a d i o q u a l i a
http://www.radioqualia.va.com.au
24 - 31 January 1999
Sunday 24 Jan, 6pm : opening night + performance
Saturday 30 Jan, 7-9pm: eQ :: parametric - closing night performance
"Sound is "an agent of destabilisation which challenges an understanding of
the real based on the physical, visible and enduring object."
Fran Dyson
e Q is a sound installation that surveys what happens when the machines of
the past collide with the machines of the future. It examines how sound has
been mutated and transfigured by the manifold uses of soft / hardwares.
Sound has been one of the fundamental areas of invention and
experimentation within art and technology culture, with practitioners
quickly embracing new forms of production and exhibition. Technology now
enables new forms of spatial, rhythmic and tonal juxtaposition within sound
environments, with advances in algorithmic and chaos driven approaches to
sound composition, prompting a paradigm shift within the field of
experimental sound art.
e Q takes a critical approach to the uses of technology within sound art,
investigating supposedly outmoded technological tools, in a rich complex of
remembrances, placing antiquated instruments alongside current implements,
provoking timely speculation about the consequences of aligning componentry
systems strategically, as opposed to technologically.
As technology evolves as a single contained and exclusive system, with each
technological transformation, new system protocols are formed and hardware
system specifications created. Optimistic propaganda suggests that these
developments are allowing for a future of seamless interaction between both
people and machine, and between machine and machines. However it is
becoming increasingly clear that the rapid development of new technological
apparatus is forcing a huge amount of obsolescence. In many cases, software
and hardware that was state-of-the-art in the very recent past, is no
longer compatible with technology of the present.
e Q endeavours to transcend the technological and historical tic of our own
era, and open up the space for exploration of the "unresolved issues of
accelerating decrepitude, inbuilt redundancy and techno-waste" * through
the medium of sound.
The project comprises four distinct installations, which also form
components of a larger system. To demonstrate the viability of integrated
technological systems, the output of each installation supplies sound to
each of the other works. Old and new technologies form modules of a larger
organism, recycling the sound, turning in upon itself, and creating an
engine of perpetual renewal.
e Q is:
-> Ephemera :: Greg Peterkin
An integrated electronic media environment, utilising state-of-the-art
light and movement sensors to initiate fluctuating patterns of sound
stimulation and composition.
-> Transception :: Matthew Thomas
Using an antiquated system of transmission and reception, Transception
traverses the frequencies in an exploration of unintended and serendipitous
'audio art'.
-> Redundant Noise :: elendil
Audio debris collected into a prototype of low-fi interaction, created for
the now outmoded Macintosh SE30.
-> ovalmaschine :: r a d i o q u a l i a
The listener becomes remix artist, folding and fusing live global net.radio
transmissions into and out of arbitrary fragments of gliding low-fi sound
samples.
-> vision system :: zzkt
The slide system, enabled by e Q's temp.mecha droid of distance, will
slice, pleat and drift in a tangled optical substrate.
Further information regarding opening and closing performances will follow.

Announcing the launch of <head>banger.
Download this 100% Java program now (Macintosh only - Windows version
available Feb '99).
<http://www.deepdisc.com/earshot/earshot_RnD.html>
<head>banger is a unique HTML drum machine; a combined web site site
flooder and re-configurable rythm generator. Enter a URL into <head>banger
and it attacks a site with the perpetual retrieval of a page. HTML is
transformed into percussive sequences that trigger pre-defined sounds -
<head>banger comes with its own sounds but users can easily add their own.
Rythms generated by <head>banger are dependent on HTML structures and the
moment to moment speed of the connection. To aid the user the current Beats
Per Minute (BPM) is displayed as well as the total number of bytes stripped
from the site, whilst text from a site is 'hosed' onto the screen as rythms
are generated. Several <head>bangers have been used together to build dense
sound compositions, each one targetted to a specific web page.
<head>banger is designed by Andi Freeman as a research tool for the earshot
explorer, navigator and composer of sound on the web.
<http://www.deepdisc.com/earshot>
<head>banger is free for personal non-profit use.

>jeu.21.1. >la voix XX + Olga KISSELEVA >20h
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The art of Olga Kisseleva is concerned with communication. More
precisely,
with the possibility of communication between human beings. So what, you
may
ask? Is not this one of the main themes of the twentieth century art in
general, from expressionism to existentialism? Yes+ADs- but every
generation has
to answer this question anew, for itself -- for the possibility to have
communication, as well as mis-communication, emerges in a different way
in
each period. In the case of Kisseleva's generation, its formation was
shaped
by two most amazing events, the events which, together, came to define
the
end of the twentieth century.
The first event, taking place in second half of the 1980s: the end of
Communism, the dissolution of the Soviet block, the disappearance of the
Big
Other of this century. The result: communication chaos. The second
event,
taking place in the first half of the 1990s: Internet. New communication
utopia: +ACI-COMPUTERS OF ALL COUNTRIES, CONNECT +ACEAIg-.
The artist asked the question of people in different countries. She
entered
the received answers into a computer and created hyperlinks between
them.
The answers came to form a single text. A collective answer, which
assumes a
collective subject. But this collective subject is created by the
artist.
She attempted, in other words, to create a whole, a utopian unity out of
fragments, the fragments of individual minds, individual beings, pieces
of
TV news, memories, languages, customs, pop culture, and so on. The
resulting
communication utopia has a distinctly late twentieth form of hypertext.
Maybe this is the only kind of unity possible today, or at least the
kind of
unity which is true to the mosaic nature of fragments it brings together

"I know, however, of a young chronophobiac who experienced something
like panic when looking for the first time at homemade movies that had
been taken a few weeks before the birth. He saw a world that was
practically unchanged - the same house, the same people - and then
realized that he did not exist there at all and that nobody mourned his
absence".

"Berlin Plantation-Club"
A video-documentation of Judith SIEGMUND (1998) VHS, 53 min
Cut: Achim Bendix
Music: Bertram Denzel
What is at the Plantation-Club typically for Berlin?
This question I often placed myself . The people who work
there, are coming from all directions but it connects for
one nevertheless that they remained in Berlin. And thus
they present the city, which somehow also took up them,
and in which they try to live their ideas and way of life.
The Plantation club does not only live by its mechanism,
which one sees if one occurs, it lives also by the people,
which operate in it. All coworkers of the Plantation-Club
are in the night life at home, some operate also in other
clubs in Berlin. But in addition they use the work or the
cash around other things to do. They represent typical
citizens of Berlin ways of life.
By the example of Plantation-Club can be shown special
page of Berlin, which will disappear perhaps also in the
page make-up of the city - or not. The Plantation-Club is
not special in be-being that characteristic as night-club,
however he belongs to clubs of Berlin that is recently not
much chicken and well designed. Its improvised mechanism
and operation are symbolically for the tendency of Berlin
in the passed years.
During the cut work,
on 4 November 1998 the Plantation-Club burned down.

>dear friends,
>this is an urgent message regarding the 121 centre in
> Brixton, London England.
>a few days ago, Lambeth council (the local council) was granted a court
>order allowing it to evict the centre, which has been squatted
>for 18 years.
>
>
>there is a possibility that the council will attempt to evict the building
>very soon, and in order to resist that threat, we are organizing, and we
>need as much help as possible.
>
>
>WHAT TO DO
>the first thing happening is a meeting to get together plans for defending
>the centre.
>the meeting is happening on: Monday, the 18th of Jan. (that's in two days)
>at the 121 centre, 121 Railton rd, Brixton. at 19:00 sharp (no tea and
>chatting -this is serious!)
>
>
>we will keep the centre occupied in order to prevent Lambeth council from
>catching us unprepared. other stuff will come up at the meeting.
>
>please inform anyone you know who is prepared to defend squatted,
>autonomous centres against a greedy council.
>The 121 centre has been squatted for 18 years. according to English law,
>that means the current occupiers have a right to own it, but the courts who
>care only about defending property owners are obviously not going to do that
>gladly.
>
>****please**** forward this e-mail to as many people as possible,
and post it on relevant mailing lists. success depends on building a
massive movement to resist eviction. anyone who has ever used the
centre should have a good reason to want it to stay there.
>
>stay in touch - the 121 phone no is: 0171 978 8214. (ansaphone message with
>info and updates) there will also be a webpage very soon, with regular
>updates.
>help in any way possible - we will need food, money, building material and
>people to build barricades, plus all the other things needed for an
>occupation. also, if you are willing to make phone calls (and own a mobile
>phone with free calls) anyway, we all know what to do.
>
