Internet Topography 2011 by art of failure.

In Internet Topography, 50Hz audio signals are sent from the exhibition space to Tokyo, then returned within the installation space where we can listen to it. The transmission errors that occur during these streamings are analyzed and then considered as a potential and incomplete layout of the network topography. Similar to a landscape, this digital topography proves to be an unstable organization of patterns, shapes and outlines opening the way to multiple mental representations. This imaginary scope is made perceptible trough an immersive sound and light installation.

Moori, by Haeyoung Kim, is an interactive audience participatory audio-visual performance.

Audiovisuology Essays 2: Histories and Theories of Audiovisual Media and Art :: Softback :: 452 pages :: illustrated :: But it online : Cornerhouse Books ::

This is the third publication in the See This Sound project which comprises stimulating essays on the current and historical position of sound and image in art and media, and their interconnection.
The point of departure for the prominent authors was the fact that our realm of experience is today shaped by an omnipresence of audio-visual products and structures, in which the cultural image and sound production are tightly entwined with one another in terms of technology, art and market strategy.

The project See this Sound explores the current diversity and long history of these syntheses and contradictions, this linking, overlapping and sometimes also irreconcilability through the perspectives of contemporary art and art and media science.

Sonic Acts: Modulating the Human Sensory Apparatus :: March 23, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. :: Sonic Acts Festival, Michigan Theatre (Screening Room) 603 East Liberty Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48104 ::

With this program we take a closer look at how artists, over the last fifty years, have been using a broad range of cinematic techniques to investigate the analog and electronically induced play at the boundaries of perception. Ranging from stroboscopic patterns and psychoacoustic drones to visual chaos and pure silence, all used techniques tickle, hypnotize or physically assault the senses resulting in hallucinating trips, exercises in abstraction, and sublime audiovisual spectacles.

Upgrade! Boston: Moments of Inertia by R. Luke DuBois, with Todd Reynolds :: February 8, 2011; Doors open @ 6:30 pm. Performance begins @ 7:00 pm :: MIT Media Lab (E14), 6th Floor, Room 633, 75 Amherst Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts (map).

Moments of Inertia is an evening-length performance based on a teleological study of gesture in musical performance and how it relates to gesture in intimate social interaction. The work is written for solo violin with real-time computer accompaniment and video. Moments consists of twelve violin études written by R. Luke DuBois for Todd Reynolds – ranging from 1-10 minutes in length – each of which uses a different violin performance gesture as a control input for manipulating a short piece of high-speed film (300 frames-per-second) – of objects and people in motion.
