[ISEA2010] Curator Statement: döbereiner & morimoto et al — Club night: Delicate Folk

Curator Statement

Venue: Domicil

At the beginning of the club night participants of the “Experimental Electronics” workshop present their results in a short performance. Ei Wada presents his performance “Braun Tube Jazz Band” at the beginning of the club night.

  1. döbereiner & morimoto (de/nl/jp)
    These artists experiment with sound synthesis methods whose sonic possibilities are explored in an audiovisual live setting. The resulting sonorities are roughtextured microstructures  visualised in wavelike forms.
  2. Infinite Livez (gb) — Solo live performance
    Infinite Livez performs a rare one-man show. Expect a mixture of experimental noise,  stream of consciousness rapping and live beat-making from the London-born emcee.
  3. One Man Nation (sg) — When I Was Young I Was Easily Amused, But Now It Is All, The Same, And The Same
    One Man Nation’s work is best described as a “performance that transmits a deep narrative feeling of geopolitical disenchantment, ingrained into dark textures”. This disenchantment reveals itself on more levels than purely narrative; it is exorcised the use of every part of
    his body as a whole.
  4. Tarek Atoui (lb) — Un-drum 2/The Chinese Connection and Un-drum 3/Semantic Scanning Electron Microscope
    Tarek Atoui’s “Un-drum” performances are a series of complex interactions between music composition, movement and electronic engineering. Through a system of pressure sensors that engage the physical strength of the artist’s body, Atoui scans and tracks at high speed to instantly edit microsamples.
    Un-drum 2 produced by Sharjah Art Foundation (ae)
    Un-drum 3 produced by: Sharjah Art Foundation (ae), La Maison Rouge (fr) und Darat Al Funun, The Khalid Shoman Foundation (jo).
  5. Blevin Blectum (us) — Nocking Vane
    Laptop, costume, voice and video complement one another in this piece about conjuring, human/animal/elemental interaction, uncanny forces of destruction and primeval attempts at preservation.
