In its autopoietic intention, between real and staged life, accepting what is there through the filters of our actual condition, multiplied by our gained culture multiplied by the actual circumstances.

It may open space for individual spontaneous observations. For different kinds of expressions, different media: sounds and words in different accents or dialects.

The medium is the message and not invisible at all. It is as invisible as the illusion of your bodies, which we may be able to perceive, but still can hardly express in words.

News Blues by Nicholas Bussmann at Fundação de Serralves

Rico Repotente, Lucile Desamory, Fernanda Farah, Yusuf Ergün, Laura Mello, Todosch, Eduard Mont di Palol

17 ABR: The News Blues
18 ABR: Major News / Minor News (estreia mundial)
19 ABR: The News Blues (workshop aberto à participação do público) + Todosch Schlopsnies a solo (guitarra e voz) 

As notícias do dia funcionam mais como uma constante evocadora do que uma série de sinais relevantes. Contribuem para a nossa sensação de estarmos vivos, de estarmos presentes, mas pouco fazem para provocar ações ou decisões. Nicholas Bussmann aborda as notícias como uma corrente de dados a serem processados por 7 intérpretes que, empregando as suas línguas, executam uma composição ou, por outras palavras,um algoritmo. A composição é um conjunto de simples instruções para estruturar a representação em múltiplos níveis, para filtrar, harmonizar ou decompor as notícias e desencadear a interação social entre os executantes.

Julia Gerlach @ Mindpirates Auditorium ©LauraMello

Sound Art in the Global Context was a workshop promoted by the DAAD Künstlerprogramm I have been invited to. My contribution to the forum was to make a list with links to sound art in Brazil.

Text taken from the DAAD website:

"In cooperation with Deutschlandradio Kultur, the Electronic Studio of the Technical University of Berlin Audio Communication, and the House for Electronic Arts Basel, the DAAD’s Artists-in-Berlin Program is organising a workshop on the theme “Sound Art in a Global Context.

Art´s Birthday 2013

My presents this year can be heard/seen here.
Kafkeywordeska was premiered at Konzerthaus in 2012, a project by Klangnetz.
The piece was written for mezzosopran, male speaker, sub-Bbass flute, e-guitar, cembalo and percussion) and a 4-channel audio projection.

I will be performing my new piece calling Sailing on the News at Echoraum in Vienna, during the tow-days festival TEXTMUSIK | MUSIKTEXT. For this piece I´ve used recordings from hourly news transmissions from radio stations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The sounding language was transformed into rhythm and melodies.

She and It @ Quiet Cue

  She + It live at Quiet Cue Berlin from quiet cue_intermedia&cooperation on Vimeo.  

This is the story of a duo made of a brazilian girl and an european robot. Me, the "She" in the duo, and my partner the robot Krach, here named "It" were looking for a topic that could unite our pasts, that was our challenge for the concert @ Quiet Cue in Berlin.

Art´s Birthday 2012

Every year it is possible to present the art, uploading your audios, pictures or videos on Kunstradio´s pool. Listen to my presents to the birthday child here.

And what happens then? As said in:
http://www.kunstradio.at/PROJECTS/AB2012/:

 "Art's Birthday 2012 is an open-ended networked art-project of exchange and collaboration. The participants of Art's Birthday 2012 therefore agree to grant all others involved in the project the right of fair use of their contributions (images, sounds, texts,...) as a whole or in part. In exchange for granting these rights all participants have themselves the right to make fair use of all contributions to the network of Art's Birthday 2012. This also goes for the use of the documentation of early versions of the project for later versions of this art-project. "

Wortbeitrag mit Hörbeispielen
Gudrun Schlemmer und Laura Mello sprechen über ihre Erfahrungen, Motivation und Hintergründe, die sie während der Arbeit an ihrer Installation „Geschichten des Wartens“ gemacht haben.
Gudrun Schlemmer zeigte einen überbordender Kahn, eine schwer überwindbare Festung mit unzähligen aneinander gereihten Zeichnungen. Schicksale von Einwanderern und deren Angehörigen wurden dem Besucher interaktiv via CD-Player und Kopfhörer direkt zugänglich gemacht.
Die Soundkünstlerin Laura Mello komponierte für die Audio-Aufnahmen ein konzeptuelles Sounddesign.

Art´s Birthday - How come?

Robert Filliou (1926 - 1987), wearing the paper hat. Taken from artwiki.fr.

Art having birthday...one doesn´t have to wonder about the fact that this date was declared to be the one by french Fluxus artist Robert Filliou. It was back in 1963 and on January the 17th Art was said to be 1,000,000 years old. Since then there have been a bunch of other artists celebrating every january the birth of the art in different ways.
