This issue of TELLUS explores audio work produced by visual artists from the Futurist Movement to the present. Luigi Russolo presented his theories on the use of noise in a musical context in 1913 with the "Art of Noise". Russolo destroyed the barrier which separated the works of precise harmonic sounds from that of indeterminate noise. With this manifesto, he proclaimed: "Ancient life was all silence. In the 19th century, with the invention of machines, Noise was born." His Futurist Orchestra of "families of noises" argued that the voice and sounds such as rumbles, explosions, whistles, snorts, screams, laughs and machines were to be regarded as musical instruments. With this in mind, I have touched on subsequent movements or events, defined by artists: Dada, Letterism, Art Brut, Fluxus, Conceptual Art and artists working with media appropriation that have been instrumental to audio and its history The two faces of this tape document different approaches to audio recording - sound and phonetic poetry, music concrete, storytelling, electronics, artists' bands and the sequential repetition of a sound, noise or word(s). With eighty-eight years of audio history passing through sixty minutes of time, TELLUS #21 accounts for less than one second of work produced by artists in this century.

Metaphysics of Sound by Lee Hangjun(Flims)/Hong Chulki(Turnt

Excerpt from the DVD "Expanded Celluloid, Extended Phonograph" (Balloon and Needle, 2008)

by Lee Hangjun (Experimental Filmmaker) and Hong Chulki (Noise Improviser) from South Korea

Advance Praise for ECEP

It is in the spirit of an experience and experiment that Hang Jun Lee's "The Cracked Share" must be viewed. Seized in moments of visual detachment during periods of emotional contact, these images are oxidized residues of fixed light and chemical elements of transformed from living organisms. No plastic expression can ever be more than a residue of the experience and yet, the residue is the recognition of the experience, loss permeates the work and yet somehow the experience endures, recalling the event more or less clearly, like the undisturbed ashes of an object consumed by flames. The recognition of this object, so little representative and so fragile, speaks to us of this artist's isolation. "The Cracked Share" is quite wonderfully dense and visceral in nature ... it looks as though the work has been doubly manipulated organically and digitally, yet the work still retain its organic nature through its alchemical orientation...the sense of visual rhythm is well paced and the appropriated footage of the Astronauts / Pornographic actor /Horse in "The Cracked Share" is wonderfully imaginative and fluid...an ocular alkahest"

Carl E. Brown


I have been waiting for more than 20 years for those who create music and video just like Lee Hangjun and Hong Chulki. Sound and video are eventually mere data. It is impossible for me to believe in the piece of music or the visual work if it doesn't start from this harsh reality because the problem lies in its start. Accordingly, Lee Hangjun and Hong Chulki's work exposes this starting point as it is. They confront and challenge the problem at this point of departure in audio and video.

Dual Lab- verbal and Vocal Experimentation

Group of Verbal and Vocal Experimentation Founded in 2006 by Sara Davidson and Lorenzo Durante
"Restoring Dignity to the breath, measured with the item. Rediscovering the body as medium, as a tool. The sound before sense, the sounds of language. The sound of the word field that goes beyond the page by creating units of meaning and sound. an intrinsic meaning, internal, visceral. "(Fabio earrings, [A] live Poetry - III Dual from poetry alive on Vimeo.

#13 presents:

"Program" System of Digital Art:"BOOM! Fast and Frozen Permutation" ?
Taiwan-Australia New Media Art Exhibition by Yu-Chuan Tseng Yu-Chuan Tseng reports on Taiwan-Australia New Media Art Exhibition from the perspective: "An important element of digital computer technology ... has digital art features of aesthetic concepts and
behavioral structure....'program' is an important factor in constructing the work."

Games: The Art of Making, Bending, and Breaking Rules
by Andrew Yashar Ames
"In interactive art, the observer and the work are constructed by
rules that can be bent or broken, but cannot be absent." Andrew Y.
Ames examines "Game-based art... [with] implied and explicit rules
that artists expose and exploit for aesthetic and ideological purposes."

The Miracles of Feedback
by Mario van Horrik
"This paper deals with my fascination for acoustic feedback... I want
to express my doubts, theories, and questions, as well as our motives
and enthusiasm for using this medium." Sound artist Mario van Horrik
explains his involvement over two decades with acoustic feedback
experiments.

Hz vs Church
by Novi_sad
Sound artist/composer Novi_sad's project "'Hz vs Church' aims to use
Churches (or other big sized public buildings) as post loudspeakers
in order to create, unfold and play live various sounds which appear
in the 'aural surface' by using and manipulating in real time
different kinds of frequencies."

We are not alone
by Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico
"Network and information technologies, with a mutagen leap, directly
connect the mind of the human being to hyper-contents and to hyper-
contexts, creating perspectives that are totally new." Iaconesi/
Persico on their projects which emerge as one of the possibilities/
directions network technology brings forward.

Intimate Transactions: Close Encounters of Another Kind
by Tony Fry
"Crucially, the interactive intent of the work was to create a means
to reflect upon a particular kind of experience ? the experience of
our being relationally connected as a collective body." Writer/
theorist Tony Fry on Keith Armstrong(creative director)'s "Intimate
Transactions," and its link to Ecosophy.
