Hi all,


glad audio was enjoyable :-)

I used readplease for txt2speech
http://www.readplease.com/

The sounds are mostly natural sounds heavily processed, mainly in
soundforge. The pure waveform tones were made with a program I wrote myself
to do realtime synthesis of basic waveforms (sine, square etc.), 4 waves per
channel, I wrote it for one of my colleagues to use in sound therapy but
I've played with it quite a bit myself since writing it

now there's a performance I'd love to see :-) by the way is that your
friend's real surname...it's very cool broken up ( Sol_le_nte see? ;-)

I made a "Fluxus is the best thing since sliced bread" CD (just a master
copy thus far which is a superior audio version(true stereo etc.)  to the
one on the web and features the whole process looped for about an
hour..great for fluxus meditation!...when I get some time I will make it
available for those interested via some form of open exchange.

well, almost time to leave my beloved office!

cheers,

Sol.

FLUXLIST: special MAY 1'st reposting

2001-05-01 Thread greenbelly

It's May 1'st!

Isn't that reason enough to love me?

In an attempt to bolster my slouching self-esteem, I
am putting out this mail art call.
  
I am inviting you to send me love letters.
I am begging you.
Pleading with you.
  
Write them, draw them, sew them, paint them, rhyme
them, sculpt them, bind them, photograph them, xerox
them, collage them, tape them, videotape them, print
them, type them, or make them out of ground beef. 
It doesn't matter.  Just make them romantic in some
way.

Tell me you love me.  Try to seduce me.  Tease. 
Threaten to stalk.  At least tell me you miss me. 
Don't you miss me?  At least a little bit?  
 
All the other people on the fluxlist love me. 
They've sent me letters.  You want to be just like
them don't you?  You want to fit in, don't you?  
Don't you?
 

All letters will be compiled into a bookish form and
sent to all participants. 

Deadline:June 1'st, 2001

Please join
us for a very special evening of live performances with artist, theorist,
performer, teacher + writer, DOUGLAS DAVIS, who has
played an active role in contemporary art since the 1960's.  A
pioneer of video in the 1970's, and
web art in the
1990's, his "live" satellite performance/video/web
pieces are seminal exercises in the use of interactive
technology as a medium for art + communications. 
In 1977 he joined with Nam June Paik +
Joseph
Beuys for the first live international satellite
telecast by artists, transmitted from Documenta 6in
Kassel, West Germany.  Davis' pioneering work with interactivity has
evolved with new technologies. His ongoing interactive project for the
World Wide Web, entitled The World's First Collaborative
Sentence, was commissioned by the Lehman College/CUNY
Art Gallery and is in the collection of the Whitney Museum
of
American Art, New York. "Metabody"(The
World's First Collaborative Visions of the Beautiful), 1997,
collection George H. Waterman III, website co-sponsored and hosted
by P.S.1/The Institute of Contemporary Art, NYC;Herbert
F. Johnson Museum, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York; Municipal Gallery
and Museum, Reyjkavik, Iceland; Center for Contemporary Art, Warsaw; Donajski
Digtal Gallery, Warsaw shows you hundreds
of bodies sent from all cultures. "Terrible
Beauty", an evolving work of interactive global theater
(on-going
since 1997), uses the bodies and faces on the web as theatrical
partners.  And now, "Moralpornography.com",which
just opened in Copenhagen, Denmark, will scandalize our mayor,delight
you, and reform heterosexuality forever.
As
an artist/performer, Davis confronts the anonymity and passivity of technological 
production and reception, establishing an intimate, interactive
dialogue with the viewer as a forum for intellectual and moral debate.
Articulating his approach to video, Davis writes: "Television is usually
considered a public medium, but because of the way it is experienced --
in a personal space -- it is in fact quite private. When I began to work
overtly with the medium, I acted out of the same sense of intimacy, this
time on the other side of the screen."
The
author of several books, including Artculture: Essays on the Post-Modern
(1977) and The Museum Impossible: Architecture and Culture in the Post-Pompidou
Era (1990), and The Five Myths of Television Power.  Davis
has been a critic for Newsweek and contributor of essays, opinions and
fiction to the New York Times, Artforum, Art in America, The Village Voice,
and The New York Press.
Davis received
a B.A. from American University and an M.A. from Rutgers University. He
is the recipient of numerous awards, including fellowships from the National
Endowment for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Deutscher Akademischer
Austauschdienst (D.A.A.D.); he was artist-in-residence at the TV Lab at
WNET/Thirteen, New York, and a Fulbright Scholar at the State University
of the Humanities in Moscow.
