Diego de León Noise Invaders Using found objects and found sounds, in opposition to “single use” and “disposable” culture and the obsolescence business, Diego de Leon proposes a noisy travel based on sound recycling and handcraft tech. A realtime jam where the musician do what his own machines are suggesting. “If they sell you trash you better take it from the garbage for free” URL: http://diegoeldeleon.blogspot.com

DC12V is the table‐format predication of the elektrolivecircus practice. The sounds are produced exclusively by using analogical instruments; broadcasts of movements, percussions, rubbings, and electromagnetic fields of various commonly used machines. On the one hand, the physical active object is the real protagonist; but on the other hand the sound amplification and the enlargement and multiplication of shades and video make it become an obsessive exaltation of the minuteness, where the movement turns out to be the fundamental action and the expressive necessity.

Re-ware Hans-Christoph Steiner, Marius Schebella, Chris ‘the Widget’ DiMauro pikselinforeware pikselinfoHCS2We are surrounded by gadgets, from iPods to phones to PDAs. These little black boxes are in fact full-fledged computers and are eminently hackable. Yet all of these devices are built around one assumption: someone else creates, you consume. On top of that, we discard these devices at an alarming rate. By creating new possibilities for these devices, the Re-ware project will stem the tide of electronic waste, and in the process, make open, democratic, and sustainable gadgets. Thanks to hardcore hackers, you can run Linux-based open source software on many of them, giving you the ability to transform old consumer devices into true read/write digital tools.

Milkymist, an open hardware VJ platform Sébastien Bourdeauducq (FR) The Milkymist’ project develops a stand-alone device in a small form factor that is capable of rendering MilkDrop-esque visuals effects in real time, with a high level of interaction with many sensors and using live audio or video streams as a base. Open source components and design tools have been developed or used as much as possible. The design is also highly modular and documented, making the code easy to re-use in other open source system-on-chips. The presentation focuses on the technical aspects of the project. Live demonstration included ! URL: http://www.milkymist.org

Noise & Capitalism/Free Software Series Mattin Mattin (ES) Mattin is an established noise artist and writer of texts on improvisation, free software and intellectual property. He runs the experimental record labels w.m.o/r and Free Software Series, and the netlabel Desetxea. Mattin will present his latest book project: Noise and Capitalism – where several writers and artists have contributed to give an analysis of the impact of capitalism on our subjective minds and daily practise. It further wish to explore to what extent noise and improvisation as practises can challenge the unconscious doctrination of capitalism and make us able to reappropriate our senses.

“Action Potential” is a new media/dance work exploring the physiological and sonic difference between volitional and non-volitional movement. Previous Torino:Margolis work used wireless transmission to co-opt a person’s free will, allowing a participant to take control of the performer’s body via toy radio controls. In “Action Potential”, we extract the performer’s free will and transform it into sound. We do this though Electromyography (EMG), a method of sensing electrical potentials generated during voluntary action. During the performance, we use electromyography to capture a dancer’s actions, and a wireless radio interface is used to transmit the information to software for audio processing. A second dancer physically manipulates the connected dancer, such that the physiological difference between volitional and non-volitional movement is illustrated through sound and silence. In this way, “Action Potential” seeks to exemplify the dancer’s free will.

Tales, Alexandre Quessy uses paper advertising found within the last 24 hours in a collage animation. He uses narrative structures taken from popular tales but playing against interpretative habits. This kind of appropriation art as a collage reminds of the technique of some Dadaist and situationist artists. Advertising and mass media show a fake reality and masks the degradation of human life, promoting consumerism, hence protecting capitalism. URL: http://alexandre.quessy.net

Colour Projections (2009, 20 – 35 mins) is a computer-based audio and video work creating precise relationships between sound and geometry. Through a progression of a geometric systems, rules are established and shapes are created, intersected, combined and destroyed. Each resulting shape is both drawn and sonified – a shape’s outline is directly transformed to an audio waveform.

Virtual Entity

Virtual Entity is a philosophical research project based in the assumption that current concepts of authenticity, ownership, uniqueness and seriality are, within the digital domain, no longer valid if not redefined. The practical outcome of the research is a software program specially developed to release, license, and catalogue digital files. Digital resources are interpreted as cultural units, and considered the main actors of the web. And any file is a virtual entity with an independent existence within the system.
