Colossus

Another noise bricolage from suicidal genius that goes by the name POLYGRAPH compiled on feelings of old records, found sounds, whispers, etc. Polygraph is using couple of old tape recorders, microphones, record player, old synth…
Colossus is a greater than Colossus computer used for breaking codes in WWII, but has it’s own code breaking quality. Colossus is grand in its 2 hours of sound statue.
120 minutes of noise bricolage, uncut, pure, serious and with no stops.

Deconstucting art work from yet unknown Croatian artist that was exhibiting at MAX ART festival happening in Zagreb in October 2008. Exhibit is glass layout of the Croatian parliament in which mice live.

What is visible is that there is a hand from the visitor trying to save the mice from the cage/parliament and let them free.

No. of the piece 6517 is work under name ‘RECording’ applied to internet competition and online festival 2008culturas.com. ‘RECording’ is a video where one can see tourists recording Dubrovnik.

In order to create understanding and transformation of the world one must create adventures;
Terrain of the cityscape in relation to its emotive resistivity;
Ludic adventurism;
Off-limit areas;
Capture;
Explore;
Rethink;
Discover;
We are bored in the city, we really have to strain to still discover mysteries;

Psychogeography, a subfield of geography, was defined in 1955 by Guy Debord as “the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals.”

If This is the Electronic Frontier, Who Are the Indians? (Richard Barbrook)
Ricardo Palmieri editing of material filmed during residency at Krizevci. Arduino with light sensors, PD and Ubuntu Studio.

MMKamp ’08 (at Art Workshop Lazareti in Dubrovnik) joined artists and scientists in experimental and virtual sound production.
GentleJunk and Vj Palm had a session together on Saturday 05th using underwater images and sounds collected from beach together with sound processed using recycled technologies and open source software.

During opening session of Dorkbot Rio a team of deconstructionalists have performed once again. This time a ‘Fusca’ (popular Beetle or Volkswagen) produced in 1968 was carved down on 24th May 2008, 40 years after it was produced and 40 years after counterculture and those revolutionary days which are so much evoked in the Brazilian media today, due to older rich people remembering them as the ‘days when they were driving Beetles with the flowers in their hair’.

Dorkbot Rio was hosted by Circo Voador, famous club in the heart of Rio da Janeiro. Production unit were: Bruno Tarin, Bruno Vianna, Giuliano Bonorandi, Frado on sound and Kruno Jošt. Thousands of thanx to many others that helped and worked with us making video or photographic documentation we can all enjoy now. Thanx again to all people that came for the event and joined in at the end in the manner that I have encountered only with people from Brasil.

Bank of sounds recorded during travel – monotonous, meditative trips trough different states of living organism called Earth.

Sounds have been collected mostly from trains, buses and airplanes and while walking.

Sounds are unedited and can be played in any combination or order. They represent specific time and specific place that one cannot see but can listen and imagine.

GentleJunk is sharing a virtual stage with Julie Rousse on upcoming noplacard festival, Sunday 17th February, 2 o’clock in the morning.

noplacard is a mix in between the (((NOMUSIC))) festival and the placard headphone festival that lasts for 24 hours in Paris at la menagerie de verre during the Economie0 event.

(((NOMUSIC))) started on June 2001, according to the principle that a diffusion site on Internet should correspond to the representation of the singular performances of a new generation of artists, musicians, performers and other actors of the electronic scene. The creation of this open diffusion site proved to be necessary because of today’s difficulty to perform disembodied concerts of electronic music on stage, in a classical frontal (actor/audience) representation space. Nowadays, these emerging new multimedia performances allow everybody to approach music in a more singular way, with a different listening practice and on a more sharing scene.

In the concept of Free Web Poetry ‘Free’ refers to freedom of expression (freedom for nonlinear expression and intuitive creation), ‘Web’ refers to online but also web-like structure, and ‘Poetry’ is from the Greek “ποίησις“, poiesis, a ‘making’ or ‘creating’.

FWP could be intriguing for writers and artists who like to make complex nonlinear structures. I use it for making interactive  cut-up / haiku poems  – poems change as reader clicks on the nodes.

How to use: download and install xebece (software developed by Roman Kennke). Write a short sentence or a word in each node, make connection to next node and keep on writing. Play with the structure and new meaning will arise.

Download short video (5 Mb) in ogg theora codec of FWP ‘Poštovani konj’ (‘Respected Horse’).

A recording from EEII ’07 festival that took place in Cultural Center Lamparna in Labin, Croatia. EEII ’07 started on 19th of October 2007 and lasted for 33 hours. It is, sadly, only event of this kind in Croatia.
EEII stands for Experimental Electronic Interventions, a DIY project occasionally helped by breadcrumbs and leftovers.

EEII festival experiments with the instruments (self-made, retro, digital, analog, mix…), with ways how to play, with improvisation in every way. Hope you will enjoy it, and will ask for more!

Released at GentleJunk NetLabel december 2007.

Deconstructing a car in amphitheater lookalike back yard was a successful step towards a participative mode in performing with young people. DK:07:DU performance was joined by two young and enthusiastic car destructionists in Dubrovnik. ZB introduced a new element in a performance – fire. Cheesy idea, but it was not planed. It was as natural as this performance is.

Theramin session, radio hacking session, joined work, theramin audio installations, live acts and performances and cellular automata music presentation (more than installation) could be seen at opening in Kunsarkaden gallery on Saturday 24th of November 2007.

“An annual mini a=v FESTIVAL features workshops, live sound-visual acts, improvisational concerts/performances, audience-interactive installations and other live and non-passive forms of audio-visual uncommercial communication. It aims to present and promote independent artistic developments and encourage experimental *do it yourself* activities.”

Many hands joining together to create chaos out of, sometimes too structured, north-west-European culture, de-constructing old radios and constructing improvisational sound sessions (concerts) for large number of culture consumers in rich spoiled west. Human Theramin antenna was controlled by visitors joining hands – the first art gallery opening where I have had the pleasure to see something similar.
