Ian Murray - o.p. cit. (1: 12)

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.

FIDGET by Kenneth Goldsmith

quote ...'Fidget is a transcription of writer Kenneth Goldsmith's every movement made during thirteen hours on June 16, 1997 (Bloomsday). This online edition includes the full text, a self-running Java applet version written by programmer Clem Paulsen, and a selection of RealAudio recordings from Theo Bleckmann's vocal-visual performance at the Whitney Museum of American Art on Bloomsday 1998.
Fidget attempts to reduce the body to a catalogue of mechanical movements by a strict act of observation. Goldsmith aims to be objective like the photographer Edward Muybridge. In Fidget, Goldsmith reduces language to its basic elements in order to record and understand movement in its basic form. Despite these aims, the dictates of the work like the self-observation and the duration of the act, create a condition of shifting referent points and multiple levels of observation that undermine the objective approach.
Goldsmith and Paulsen's collaboration has reconfigured the text of Fidget to substitute the human body with the computer. The Java applet contains the text reduced further into its constituent elements, a word or a phrase. The relationships between these elements is structured by a dynamic mapping system that is organized visually and spatially instead of grammatically. In addition, the Java applet invokes duration and presence. Each time the applet is downloaded it begins at the same time as set in the user's computer and every mouse click or drag that the user initiates is reflected in the visual mapping system. The different hours are represented in differing font sizes, background colors and degree of "fidgetness", however, these parameters may be altered by the user. The sense of time is reinforced by the diminishing contrast and eventual fading away of each phrase as each second passes.
Fidget was originally commissioned by The Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris as a collaboration with vocalist Theo Bleckmann. The live performance was at The Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris on June 16, 1998 at 8p.m. Bleckmann's vocal interpretations of Fidget are available here in RealAudio. A gallery installation of Fidget opened at Printed Matter in New York City. Printed Matter featured Goldsmith's collaboration with seamstress Sydney Maresca. The exhibition ran from June 11-September 4 1998.
Kenneth Goldsmith is the author of No. 111 2.7.93-10.20.96 (The Figures, 1997) and 73 Poems, a collaboration with vocalist Joan La Barbara (book 1994 by Permanent Press, compact disc 1994 by Lovely Music, Ltd.). His visual works have been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. Goldsmith is the editor of UbuWeb Visual, Concrete + Sound Poetry, a DJ at 91.1 WFMU in New York City, and a music critic at New York Press.'

Keep This Sex Out Of My Sight

The Undisplayable of Female Sex as Revealed by Women

Essays by Elvan Zabunyan, Marie Joseph Bertini and Francoise Gange.

Ever since women artists gave themselves the right to declare their sexual fantasies, their work has yielded revelations for those who once declared their fantasies for them. In a raw language that ignores taboos, these women speak of sex like Courbet painted "The Origin of the World." Keep This Sex Out of My Sight is a hymn to women's sex, a celebration of feminine desire, so often erased, hidden and forgotten. For the artists whose texts and images appear here, obscenity and pornography are responses to the male fear of the female sexual organ, and confronting them cancels their power. more ... click here

Singing through silk - Yvon Bonenfant

Sound, touch, the felt body and emotion: Toward a haptic art of voice

Yvon Bonenfant

quote... 'As an extended vocalist and performance artist, deriving my work, as I do, from experimental music, contemporary performance and body psychotherapy, sound and touch have come together to form a sort of aesthetic existential crux against which the rest of my practice revolves and rotates. In recent praxis, I have been exploring sound and touch from the perspective of the notion of membrane. Membranes are essential to both sound and touch: they are that which permits perception of contact. The recently published National Scientific Research Centre of France’s Dictionary of the Body (Dictionnaire du corps) (Andrieu and Botsch 2008) defines touch as “the action of the movement through which two bodies come into contact with one another” (Nancy 2007: 325). Membranes permit this contact.
In my creative work, I have been working with a literal form of membrane. The fine, semi-transparent grade of habotai-weave silk I have been using for runs of my intimate performance Soie soyeuse (2007-8)has a number of startling characteristics. Firstly, I can sing from behind layers of this fabric and my voice is not stifled – it is as if I am singing in open air. Sound travels almost perfectly across the barrier, and I have found no other fabric which has such sound transparency yet is still opaque. Next, the silk, though cold for perhaps half a second when touching my skin, heats through and warms startlingly quickly: it takes on body temperature on contact very swiftly. Thirdly, despite its permeability to air, this incredibly thin layer of silk insulates extraordinarily well. It is fascinating. Like a second human skin, it cocoons and breathes; like an eardrum, suspended as it is in warm nests of human tissue and in contact with tiny bones, it reacts to sound while transmitting the sound waves on to the matter beyond. Holding the silk while singing, I can actually feel it vibrating; the sensation is one of toughness and fragility yoked together in one tissue. Not unlike our own human skin.....' for more click here

Voices
by Walt Whitman

NOW I make a leaf of Voices--for I have found nothing mightier than
they are,
And I have found that no word spoken, but is beautiful, in its place.

O what is it in me that makes me tremble so at voices?
Surely, whoever speaks to me in the right voice, him or her I shall
follow,
As the water follows the moon, silently, with fluid steps, anywhere
around the globe.

All waits for the right voices;
Where is the practis'd and perfect organ? Where is the develop'd
Soul?
For I see every word utter'd thence, has deeper, sweeter, new sounds,
impossible on less terms.

I see brains and lips closed--tympans and temples unstruck,
Until that comes which has the quality to strike and to unclose, 10
Until that comes which has the quality to bring forth what lies
slumbering, forever ready, in all words.

The Circulator

Making "CIRCULATOR" / An installation by Jim Blashfield / 4Culture from Jim Blashfield on Vimeo.
Jim Blashfield kindly sent me a message about his video and sound installation Circulator now being finished, and scheduled for installation at the Brightwater Environmental Centre north of Seattle’s Lake Washington, in Spring.
It’s amazing to see the detail of the visual material. This realism is fortified by sound, which plays an important role in Circulator. We hear a nice combination of realistic sounds and dream-like musical sequences.
The installation shows the artists impression of the water cycle. Watch the video to hear Jim Blashfield explain the installation and if you want to know more about the artist and his work, visit his website at www.blashfieldstudio.com.

Nancy Garcia- Lovers Alarm Clock

Nancy Garcia :: April 9 - June 9, 2011 :: Opening: April 9; 7:00 - 10:00 pm :: Bas Fisher Invitational, 180 NE 39th Street, Suite 210, Miami, Florida.
Nancy Garcia’s interdisciplinary practice incorporates choreography, music/sound, video, performance, image making, and new media. Often slinging the viewer to the edges of performative events, Garcia draws attention to the exultant body, considering it as a site as well as a vehicle for sound and movement. For her first solo exhibition in Miami, Garcia shows a new body of work incorporating photography, a new video entitled Power Trio, and a concept audio compilation, Lover’s Alarm Clock, for which she asked artist friends to “create a sound you want your lover/s to wake up to.” Each track will be downloadable and sharable as a smartphone ringtone at www.loversalarmclock.com, and be available for listening in the gallery.

Heart Chamber Orchestra - Pixelache from pure on Vimeo. Heart Chamber Orchestra is an audio-visual performance during which 12 classical trained musicians control a music composition and a graphical visualization through their personal heartbeats.
The musical score is generated in real-time by the heartbeats of the musicians, who read and play this score from a computer screen placed in front of them. As a result, the installation forms a feedback loop in which the music literally “comes from the heart”. Continue reading

Two Turbulence Commissions at Pace

Two Turbulence Commissions (both part of Turbulence@PaceDigitalGallery2, April 5-29, 2011, New York City; http://csis.pace.edu/digitalgallery/):

1. "Spectral Quartet" by Woody Sullender
2. "Channel TWo: NYC" by Adam Trowbridge and Jessica Westbrook
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. "Spectral Quartet" by Woody Sullender
http://turbulence.org/works/spectres/

The audio content of "Spectral Quartet" consists of filtered radio signals, culled from various web streams from the Internet. These signals are being passed through many "band pass filters", a type of equalizer that allows a small range of frequencies through while attenuating frequencies outside of this range. In effect, most of the audio signal is "erased" except for a narrow stratum of frequency material. This work highlights small, hidden musical moments that are occurring on radio, but are usually rendered inaudible by other elements in the sound.

Although the Internet can bridge disparate communities, our experience on the web is of a customized landscape, with content tailored to our ideological views, our shopping behaviors, our socio-economic demographics, etc. "Spectral Quartet" literally re-unites these voices into a singularized, aestheticized, quiet moment.

"Spectral Quartet" is a 2010 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for its Turbulence web site. It was supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.

BIOGRAPHY

Woody Sullender is an artist currently based in Brooklyn, NY, working primarily in music and audio media. Over the past few years, he has emerged as a pre-eminent experimental banjo performer, playing with and against the cultural baggage of the instrument. More recent work focuses on "erasing" existing audio by removing most of the frequencies from a recording via band-pass filters. This has manifested in a range of media from a lathe-cut record of a diminished "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to an FM broadcast of erased radio stations. Among other activities, he teaches new media in the New York area and hosts a weekly radio show on WFMU.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. "Channel TWo: NYC" by Adam Trowbridge and Jessica Westbrook
http://www.turbulence.org/works/ChannelTWo

Eleven years into the new century, it is time to discuss the terms of surrender. Not a surrender to any civilization but the surrender of civilization to those in control who would use any political participation as a crutch for their failure. The question is not if but when giving up on civilization will be seen as the only rational political stance. Channel TWo is a post-network media channel that begins with entertainment-based narrative as a common language. Structurally, it employs internet algorithms, viewer research and custom software to generate localized content. The outcome is a nonlinear, local media sequence that is directly connected to the community in which it is situated. Channel TWo begins after the inevitable surrender of civilization, a never-ending, visually-stimulating, product-placement-based culture stream.

"Channel TWo: NYC" is a 2010 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for Turbulence web site. It was supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.

BIOGRAPHIES

Adam Trowbridge explores the aesthetic possibilities that arise as communication breaks down. His work has been featured nationally and internationally including The Grey Market and Anthology Film Archives, NYC; Pleasure Dome, Toronto; The Hyde Park Center, Chicago, IL; and festivals in France, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Korea, and Russia.

Jessica Westbrook?s projects explore desire, visual cues, cultural artifacts, systems, language, and contradictory sensations that vacillate between great fortune and impending catastrophe. She has exhibited work nationally and internationally including recent and upcoming projects for: gli.tc/h/ Chicago, Nature/Nurture Kinsey Institute, Carnegie Museum, and Experimental Media Series Hirshhorn Museum of American Art Smithsonian Institute.

Trowbridge and Westbrook work with the group Basekamp on Plausible Artworlds, a project to collect and share knowledge about alternative models of creative practice.

Susan Hiller, Lucidity and Intuition: Homage to Gertrude Stein, 2011

quote from Criticisms...click here 'What could be more uncanny than neat piles of books actually underneath a desk, if not neat piles of books on a decidedly uncanny subject? In this case, automatic writing.
For Gertrude Stein, to whom this sculpture is intended as a homage, the books represent a return of the repressed. The writer went from experimenting with the technique to denying it existed
The binder on the work surface contains her postgraduate work on the topic, with an introduction by Susan Hiller. This is the dry, public facing side of the work, the writer and perhaps the artist too.
But the subterranean library is where you’ll find the action. Suddenly we have colour. Those books give the sculpture a transgressive energy. They fly in the face of reason.
For me, the most unheimlich thing of all was to notice who gave Hiller her first books about Stein. According to her introduction it was Tom Verlaine. I assume that’s the singer and guitarist.
His former band Television looms much larger in my imagination than the towering figure of 20^th century art and letters to whom this piece is dedicated. Although I probably feel they shouldn’t.
Ironic that one of my earliest influences should have found its way into this piece about suppressed artistic sources. Not that I would ever disown my love of that whole New York punk scene.
I wouldn’t want to come home to find a poltergeist had bricked up my desk with records, after all.
This piece can be seen as part of Susan Hiller: An Ongoing Investigation at Timothy Taylor Gallery until 5 March. See gallery website for more details.
You might also read an interview with the artist by Rachel Cooke in the Guardian and this piece about the show at Tate Britain in the same paper by Rachel Withers.'

The 'problem' (?) with Face to Face

Press Release, April 7th, 2011. Belgrade.

Face to Facebook
http://www.face-to-facebook.net

A project by Paolo Cirio and Alessandro Ludovico.

Legal update:
After sending us a "cease and desist letter" (which led to making the
website Lovely-Faces.com unavailable), asking us to give them back the
1M publicly available data and terminating our Facebook personal
accounts, Facebook lawyers are continuing to follow up with us. First
they are insisting on asking us to remove all the content from the
Face-to-Facebook.net domain, which is the website documenting the
project. This request sounds quite surreal for us: this website merely
contains a collection of texts, materials and links related to Face-to-
Facebook project. Even more, we have received a threat from Facebook
legal department about the claim that the face-to-facebook.net domain
name is violating Facebook trademark.
So, why should such a big online corporation push a couple of artists
to remove the documentation of their project? Our lawyers are
investigating the legal basis of their request.

Global Mass Media Hack Performance:
http://www.face-to-facebook.net/press-coverage.php
Meanwhile, the news went through to more than 1000 media reports,
reaching a wide audience spread all over the globe. Very different
stages were involved like: tv, radio, newspapers, magazines, blogs,
portals and plenty of personal blogs, not counting the thousands of
tweets. The pattern of propagation would need time to be properly
analyzed, but it definitively is "viral", especially in some countries
like Brazil, Pakistan, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine.
There are plenty of captivating scenes in this mass media performance,
like for example the one where 93 per cent of the 7538 participants to
the online poll opened by the Australian newspaper The Age answered
"Yes" to the question "Should Lovely-faces.com require consent to use
your photo?" Maybe that influenced also the blog "Ethics Alarms" to
declare Lovely-Faces.com as "Unethical Website of the Month." And the
controversial aspect of the project has been clearly picked up even by
some popular U.S. TV news (see links below) sometimes resulting as
quite bizarre.

"Unfathomless (U01) ~Tsukubai~" (feature)
Parallel to the ongoing Mystery Sea series, with its ?night ocean
drones? and related metaphorical psycho-activity, Daniel Crokaert has
inaugurated a sister label. Unfathomless seeks to mine potentially wider

"Arctic Summits - Netherworld" (review)
Netherworld's stated working method is to start from tiny fragments of
classical music and various other kinds of field recordings and found
sounds, manipulated and processed to evoke polar silences. The results
often include lush harmonies, whose surface calm contains touches of
grit that provide a surreal undercurrent in his ever-shifting arctic
splendor.

review by Caleb Deupree

"Crossing Of Shadows" (review)
Previously orchestramaxfieldparrish has navigated interstices between
ambient, drone and neo-classical, dealing in a blend of ritual, drone
and post-Gothic colourings and wispy atmospherics. A questing
sensibility issues here in a turning away from repetition of gestures.
What once was was restless with experiment, now seems more restrained.

review by Alan Lockett

"Unfathomless (U02) ~Tactile.Surface~" (review)
Unfathomless (U02): A choreography of the chthonic constitutes much of
this engaging excursion. Sources for Tactile.Surface were recorded in
diverse settings: Turra?s room in Schio, Italy, and one of McFall?s
trips from Kansas to Colorado. Their combined aesthetic is one of stark
isolationism, with a mix of familiar components bringing new timbral
skin to the old ceremony.
http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=389
review by Alan Lockett

"Unfathomless (U03) ~Lack Affix~" (review)
Unfathomless (U03): Built upon the grouping of field recordings from
Maryland, Washington D.C. and Argentina. Nicholas Szczepanik & Juan José
Calarco traded field recordings in constructing this glowering but not
inhospitable collage, processing and mixing audio spoils from their
respective areas jointly into a work of substantial clarity and
particulate involvement.
http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=391
review by Alan Lockett

"Unfathomless (U04) ~Lignes d?erre & Randons~" (review)
Unfathomless (U04): continuing the pursual of grimly fluid,
introspective, subterranean drone, a style that's become increasingly
widespread as others follow where Daniel Crokaert et al. lead. There are
few, though, as proficient as Kassel Jaeger, who augments the house
style, widening the palette through inclusion of electronics, and
deepening interaction with source material.

review by Alan Lockett

"Unfathomless (U05) ~Zeltini~" (review)
Unfathomless (U05): Revenant is an open-membership project involving a
number of specialists of location recording. Zeltini's eponymous
environment is an abandoned Soviet army base in a Latvian forest - large
horizontal bunkers where missiles were stored, one of which was used in
a semi-transcendental experience in which the participants dispersed in
almost total darkness.

Andrea Dancer's new work Cloist(au)ral on Radiocustica

'.... Soundwalking is a way of addressing a schism between human and world, a philosophical alienation that began with Aristotle and, through its long lineage, has become a habit of sensory imbalance.

In this piece, so called "ambient sound" is given equal weight as the spoken word. It is treated as a type of language, foregrounded, in order to shift one's listening biases. In phenomenological terms, space is constituted through perception as the body moves through it, physically. It follows that if the structure of the listening environment is changed, so one's perception shifts and the space is constituted differently. In this way, soundwalking can be called an act of com-position, although to use that term is to bind acoustic phenomenon again to the history of music. The listening in soundwalking defies definitions of sound or music -- as with all lived experience, it is both and neither all at once. It simply is what it is as one is in it. In this way, the call to "listen as you've never listened before," is as much an invitation to change as a kind of passive activism....' for more and to hear the piece click here

Radio Kiosk...

Radio Kiosk is an experimental radio compilation. It gathers together experimental radio shows and music labels from around New Zealand and Australia, into a single programme broadcast from the Kiosk Public Art Site on the corner of High and Lichfield Sts in Christchurch. It is a radio station made up of other radio stations, an adventure in adventurous radio, channelling the sounds of other times and places.

Radio Kiosk broadcasts through a small handmade transmitter built by Adam Hyde, and designed by Japanese ‘mini fm’ pioneer, Tetsuo Kogawa. Kogawa inspired Japan’s ‘mini fm’ boom in the early 1980s, by establishing radio stations that broadcast across only a few Tokyo blocks to evade Japan’s strict broadcast licensing laws. Most radio stations try to transmit with great power across a wide area, so that their audience can listen as they go about the rituals of daily life – at home, in the car, at work. Mini fm deliberately restricts its transmissions to its immediate surroundings, so that it physically draws its listeners in. Radio Kiosk will have a very small transmission zone; audible within a couple of blocks through your own portable radio, car stereo or walkman. It will be audible without a radio receiver when you are standing very close to the kiosk.

The Radio Kiosk programme was contributed by radio hosts and musicians from New Zealand and Australia. Some of its content was first broadcast last week, some was broadcast last decade - these are the transient products of other radio stations, plucked from the ether for another listen. The programmes will be played randomly for three weeks, so that the unpredicatable content is never predictable.

!WOMEN ART REVOLUTION - A Secret History

!Women Art Revolution (!W.A.R.) charts the evolution of the Feminist Art Movement in America from the 1960s to the present, illuminating how this multi-faceted and under-explored movement—which some claim to be the most significant one of the late 20th century—radically transformed the art and culture of our times.
Armed with a borrowed camera, Hershman Leeson began interviewing fellow artists in her living room, in Berkeley, California, as early as 1966. Through conversations, art, and rarely-seen archival footage, visionary artists, curators and critics present an intimate portrayal of their fight to break down the barriers facing women both in the art world and society at large. The countless groundbreaking figures starring in it include Marcia Tucker, Nancy Spero, Silvia Sleigh, Carolee Schneemann, Miriam Schapiro, B. Ruby Rich, Yvonne Rainer, Yoko Ono, Miranda July, The Guerrilla Girls, Judy Chicago and many others.

!W.A.R. has the rare honor to screen at Berlin, Sundance and Toronto Festivals. It will have its theatrical premiere at New York City’s IFC Center on June 3, 2011. !W.A.R. is a Zeitgeist Films Release.

What the social media shutdown in Egypt showed us... Dan McQuillan

A post (from Netbehavior) reflecting on the impact of social media in egypt's
insurrection through the lens of the internet shutdown.
from dan mcquillan

"After the shutdown, people inside and outside of Egypt collaborated
to re-create the missing networks using the still-available
technologies of landlines, dial-up and ham radio. This paper argues
that this use of pre-digital technologies to form the kinds of
infrastructure afforded by social technologies is evidence of a
radical change in people?s perceptions of their world and its
connectedness.....I discuss how existing models need to become
responsive to the grassroots appropriation of technology, especially
the future creation of alternatives to the corporate internet. In
conclusion, I analyse the phrase 'Egypts Facebook Youth' as the emblem
of social media's impact".

its digital AND its art

Bill Thompson likes the ways technology and art intersect.
At a recent conference on the future of the arts in a digital world the opening night panel was asked to name a digital art work that had impressed them.
All stumbled, perhaps unsure of who was doing 'interesting' work in this rapidly changing field, leaving the delegates at the Media Festival/Arts with the sense that digital might not really count as far as they were concerned.

Responsive Ecologies exploring notions of captivity, collective
behaviour and human-nature social relations. The forms of interaction
within the work take inspiration from the study of ecology (the
relations of organisms, and their interactions with the environment) and
reflect upon the possible implications of our actions and activities on
the sustainability of future ecologies.

interact and respond to public presence, and question the role of
