Sound Performance at KIBLA (Slovenia) (Nov.2)

OPEN SOUND LAB
MMC Kibla, ponedeljek, 2.11.2009, ob 19.00

TENGAL - medijski umetnik
SABAW - realno virtualna organizacija posameznikov, kolektivov in institucij
MARKO BATISTA - umetnik, mešani mediji
ANA PEČAR - intermedijska umetnica

Open Sound Lab vas vabi na razmislek o vlogi publike v procesu umetniškega ustvarjanja. Pričakujete lahko koprodukcijski eksperimentalni avdio-video nastop Tengala (Manila, Filipini), Marka Batiste (Ljubljana, Slovenija) in Ane Pečar (Maribor, Slovenija). Združeni v Open Sound Lab odpirajo kreativne prostore občinstvu ter na ta način vzpostavljajo pogajalski moment v okviru kreativnih procesov, strategij sodelovanja in interakcije, metod upodabljanja in predstavljanja kompozicij elektronske glasbe in video transmisije.

Trojka umetnikov vas vljudno vabi, še posebej, če ste akcija-heroj-film tip, saj boste priča pravemu troboju znotraj umetniške kolaborativne prezentacije.


Dogodek se bo zgodil v okviru projekta X-OP, ki trenutno gosti Tengala, rezidenčnega umetnika iz Filipinov.
X-OP - Izmenjava operaterjev in producentov umetnosti, je postopoma rastoče omrežje umetnikov, raziskovalcev, operaterjev, producentov in centrov, s katerim želimo vzpostaviti Evropsko platformo za ustvarjanje umetnosti in izmenjavo. S svojimi lokacijami, prostori in uporabnikom prilagojeno tehnološko infrastrukturo spodbuja mobilnost umetnikov, teoretikov in vodstva. Projekt je zasnovan tako, da krepi vseevropsko sodelovanje, skupno produkcijo in interdisciplinarni pristop k umetnosti.
X-OP je večletni projekt, traja od 2008 do 2011 in je podprt s strani Evropske komisije – Program Kultura ter Ministrstva za kulturo RS in Mestne občine Maribor.



Marko Batista je slovenski multimedijski ustvarjalec, ki je svoje eksperimentiranje z digitalnimi zvoki začel kot član skupine Klon:Art:Resistance. Njegova zvočna dela se predvsem osredotočajo na dislocirane zvočne zapise, tehnologijo, mrežne sisteme, hibridne signale ter digitano procesiranje. Veliko se ukvarja z živim sintetiziranjem zvoka na raznih festivalih in sodeluje z različnimi avtorji eksperimentalne glasbe. Na pobudo tandema son:Da so v Moderni galeriji in festivalu Pixxelpoint izvedli projekt ‘Kompozicija za film’ na katerem so sodelovali tudi Samo Salomon, Luka Prinčič, Miha Ciglar, Samo Pečar in BorisŠaletić.

Ana Pečar (1977) - Deluje in živi na križišču novih tehnologij in starih religij. Njeno delo stoji na temeljih goste in čvrste dediščine učenosti ter plasteh neresnične resničnosti. V njenem delovnem območju so video umetnost, intermedijski plesni performansi in audiovizualne instalacije v dialogu s specifičnimi prostori. V montaži zvoka in slike sledi ritmu, pulzu časa. Anina namenska metoda je vzporedno delovanje v več skupinah. Zaprisežena je: Digitalni komuni (igri plesalke in tehnologije), Traku 47 (multimedijskemu kolektivu, delujočem na področjih računalniško proizvedene glasbe, akustičnih zvokov, slikanja v živo, videa in javne provokacije), BBM (skupina s sedežem v Berlinu, specializirana za razvoj prototipov umetniških pripomočkov novih tehnologij in medijskih umetniških predmetov, kot so roboti, video zidovi, stroji za produciranje videa in zvoka), Byzantine Cadillacu (avdio-vizualnemu kabaretu) in SO0GLEDom (novi produkcijski enoti, samoorganizirani skupini samostojnih avtorjev, izhajajočih iz različnih umetniških področij, kuratorstva, producentstva, teorije in kritike, novinarstva).

RIP MARYANNE AMACHER (February 25, 1943 – October 22, 2009)

Sad sad news for the sonic world!

Maryanne Amacher was known for her installations, which caused listeners to question the nature of sound and the effects it has on the brain. "She worked extensively with the physiological (not psychoacoustic) phenomenon called otoacoustic emission, in which the ears themselves act as sound generating devices." [Wikipedia.org]

Below is a video clip from the unreleased 2005 short film called Daytrip Maryanne - a collaboration between Maryanne and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon.



I still listen to your composition TEO! (Sound Characters 2) at the most quiet time at night, lying down, finishing it before sleeping. We shall miss you!
