New Sensory Perception for Possible Realities

Can you believe in what you haven’t seen? Or, can you not to believe in what you saw?
Is reality about something what you can see, what you know, or what you are brought up to believe?

They are members of the groups Dumb Type, AbsT, rhizomatiks, Softpad, DGN and VPP.

HYL/SHOUT Performance Festival 2009 - Oslo, Norway

I can't help to post other people's open call here on this blog, thinking that there are people who either have something they want to show or people would be going to these places, but sometimes just how other people are organising art events can be inspirational. The idea of video marathon did happen here in Hong Kong many many years ago but not a performance marathon.I still wonder if this is only a marketing strategy.

This is a call for participation in a two month long performance marathon which is
scheduled to run from August 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009, in Oslo, Norway.
If you wish to participate with works you are welcome to submit documentation of
previous performances, plan(s) of the performance(es) you wish to show at this
festival, and a brief CV. Photos should be printed on A4 sized paper. Video documentation should be on a DVD with a maximum duration of 5 minutes.

The performance festival is meant, to a certain degree, to be of an activist nature, thus the name HYL/SHOUT Performance Festival 2009. (For an understanding of how we
interpret the word activist, think of direct action, legal/illegal demonstrations, and
intervention in public spaces, etc.) The festival will take place mostly in non-traditional settings like shopping malls, on public transport, in streets, in public parks, etc, i. e. whatever creative places outside of the traditional venues of art galleries and museums you can think of.

Please indicate in the calendar below what date(s) you prefer to perform, your name,
title of your work(s), your e-mail address and phone number, and print and send together with the above mentioned material to:
Åse Karlsen, Stensbergsgata 23 C, NO-0140 Oslo, Norway.

Deadline: June 10, 2009, stamped envelope.

If selected, you'll have to pay your own travel expenses to Oslo, Norway, but we will
provide accommodation on a sofa, or similar, in a private home for two participants
for a maximum of four nights. Please bring your own sleeping bags and towels, etc.

Please indicate in the calendar below what date(s) you prefer to perform, your name, title of your work(s), your e-mail address and phone number:

Saturday 1. August
Eva Drangsholt, commencement location, kl 21 – 22, "Sekhet Iaru", e@evdr.net, no phone

9 evenings- Experiment in Art and technology

Theater-Festival, Armory Hall, New York: In the 1960s, what would later lead to the founding of the organization Experiments in Art and Technology, was first put into practice on a large scale by ten New York artists as a unique festival for electronic as well as interactive performances and demonstrations. The idea of collaborating with technicians, not only initiated by Robert Rauschenberg and Billy Klüver but also organized and largely promoted by them, lead to the performances suggested by the festival title: Nine Evenings with performances by John Cage, Lucinda Childs, Merce Cunningham, Öyvind Fahlström, Alex Hay, Deborah Hay, Steve Paxton, Robert Rauschenberg, David Tudor, and Robert Whitman. Billy Klüver was again the driving force. The main technical element of the performances was the electronic modulation system TEEM, composed of portable, electronic units which functioned without cables by remote control. Cage used this system to activate and deactivate loud speakers that consistently reacted to movement by way of photo-cells. For not always being technically and artistically successful, these performances exhausted for the first time the full range of the live-aspect of electronics, taking advantage of its artistic potential in all of its diversity. Seen in that light, the «9 Evenings» rank among the milestones of media art, even though today only a few filmed documents bear witness to the event.

Dead Language

From 18th to 22th October @ICA London:

Platoons of the latest replicas of Banksy roam the landscape, led by General Clone Banksy, a talentless nobody who once found a sample of Banksy DNA on an empty spray can. A rowdy gang of Tracey Emins wrestle half a dozen dazed Andy Warhols to the ground. It is the future and all forms of art are free, perfect replicas exist of every masterpiece ever created, copyright and ownership are meaningless, ideas are cheap and replicated ad infinitum. Artists have realised that their own identity is the only thing they can own or control, so fans become clones of artists in order to spread their art/identity. One final piece of uncorrupted art remains, yet to be copied: a living story told by Neonate Muses. Come and experience the living story and see how the world died with FoolishPeople's immersive, evolving performance in the ICA theatre. On the Saturday afternoon, a workshop with writer and director John Harrigan will give participants a chance to examine the core concepts of Dead Language: open-source myth, weaponised art and the future of intellectual rights within a dead culture.

"There's a layer to art and entertainment now that's stopping us thinking, it's coming between us and common sense": read Loma-Ann Bonner's interview with Foolish People's John Harrigan in Open Magazine.

TatePlayer: archive of talks, performances, videos...

From Museum Lab

Tate was one of the first museums in the world to record and archive its events online, but never had a good infrastructure to display this rich collection. The Tate Player encompasses audio and video of Tate’s events, and adds new Tate Shots and existing audiovisual works from the Tate Modern collection, such as videos by Gilbert & George, and interviews with Frank Stella and Sol LeWitt.

Internet guerrilla performance

http://www.intima.org/maskabuigues.html

Igor Stromajer's Internet oeuvre is characterized by the substitution of the traditional theatre space by the use of the Internet for his intimate performance.

"Ballettikka Internettikka" realized by net.artist Igor Stromajer and net.composer Brane Zorman is an internet guerrilla performance. Differently from other net.art works by Stromajer, which are confined to fixed spaces on the Net, accessible from infinite co-ordinate combinations of time, place, and space, "Ballettikka Internettikka" combines the Internet based ubication with the artist's placement in an offline scenario (corporeally speaking), so the intervention takes place both online and offline, conceived as a complimentary effect.

This Internet situationist performance is a critique of elitist and bourgeois art spaces and consumer art culture and capitalism, by claiming public art spaces. This is achieved by entering secondary locations of established art institutions and then broadcasting the action via the Internet, taking advantage of the whole new scope that the Internet offers: a higher bandwidth, a complimentary effect to off-line activism, omni-directionality, and participation.

大声展07·听游记（Moving Soundscape）开始征集观众报名

交通工具已经变成我们和世界沟通的一种必需。我们的身体不断移动，从这里到那里；城市也在移动、变形，从过去到未来。虽然不是每个人都拥有汽车，但是每个人都通过它，来实现移动，来穿行，并体会到城市的形体、形体之下的秘密。熟视无睹的声音，每天充斥在熟视无睹的城市中，我们和我们的耳朵一起，穿过道路，穿过时间，体验到了想要体验到的那些东西，也和更多的擦肩而过。最熟悉的风景，也是最陌生和新鲜的风景。
听游记是一组利用行驶的汽车来创作的声音艺术作品。或者说，听游记是一组利用城市来创作的声音艺术作品。这个想法也许要追溯到1960年代的达达追随者和激浪派艺术家，甚至更早，到1913年，路易吉·卢索诺（Luigi Russolo）的《噪音的艺术》（The Art of Noise）；但也许只是我们对周遭环境的一种本能反应。探索我们身处其中的城市、以新的角度加入它、和它对话、和它共谋；或者，探索我们的身体，在运动中，在封闭的小空间里检视它，让它体验。这都是可能的。
听游记是一场出游，只要你带着耳朵，上车。你将听到汽车的哼唱（发动机和车体振动）、城市的呼吸（无所不在的环境噪音），然后是艺术家的选择和创造，他们可能会从城市的角落收集声音碎片，可能把纷乱的街景当成诗歌来朗诵，可能用新技术延伸感官和想象，也可能只是制造噪音——在充满噪音的生活中，还有什么比重新品尝噪音更有趣的？在四个城市的大声展开幕当天，艺术家还会坐进汽车，和观众一起体验，或者说，一起创作。所有的观众，都需要提前报名；有的观众，会从准备阶段就加入创作；这些作品也不限于汽车，相关的网络、出版、延续活动，会和声音一样来来去去，相互关联。
这场出游早已开始，在某个不经意聆听无用之物的瞬间，在远处的铃声、音乐声勾起想象的瞬间，在风吹着车窗、让人出神的瞬间，我们已经开始享受风景。



限量限时的听游记开始报名了！
每车2到3名观众，每天4到6趟行车，每城4到6车，仅在周末活动，艺术家本人将参加开幕当天的作品实施。台湾艺术家林其蔚、许雅筑将会朗诵街景文字。北京艺术家张安定（Zafka）甚至邀请观众提前两个月和他一起准备、完成作品……
请先阅读各个城市的听游记方案，然后选择你想要参与的作品，告诉我们你希望参与的日期（请注意大声展在各城的开幕和持续日期）和备选日期（你也可以写上为 “随便哪天我都愿意参加”）；当然，你需要提供简单的自我介绍、职业、年龄、联系电话。请注意，在报名邮件主题栏内填写“听游记报名”。
确认后我们会通过邮件和电话和你联系。
