Re: [spectre] AIAV Residence Program: CALL FOR ARTISTS
The Spirit of Furtherfield. we know that many have explored their focus into media art and connected creativity via an academic route, but we do not believe that much of this dynamic creativity that we all experience comes from an influence of official education alone. In fact, we ourselves are influenced by a varied amount of diverse energetic music just as much as theories, art and technology. Over the last few weeks I have been collecting 'youtube' links to videos of some of the bands that www.furtherfield.org has enjoyed and still listens to. I have pasted a few of these links below for you to explore... Also, as a playful retort to our declaration of what influences us in regard to sound - perhaps you would like to create a separate e-mail letting others know the noise that inspires you to create :-) If you do respond - just put 'the spirit of 'your name or group' in the subject header. OK - enjoy:-) aphex twin - come to daddy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Az_7U0-cK0 my robot friend - 'DEAD' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upTZKGZnA54 The Knife - We Share Our Mother's Health http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=617ANIA5Rqsmode=relatedsearch= Kraftwerk - Pocket Calculator Live 1981 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZt64_XOflkmode=relatedsearch= Princess Superstar - Famous : from My Machine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6DOhIZI17Ymode=relatedsearch= Sonic Youth-Bull in the heather http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T4BsnXmJaImode=relatedsearch= Bob Dylan - Masters Of War http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muQRIUVd6Aw Kool Keith/Dr Octagon - Aliens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FluNM036_Qgmode=relatedsearch= Bush Tetras - Things That Go Boom In The Night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gze5hap2BOImode=relatedsearch= Cabaret Voltaire - Nag Nag Nag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-IixtxKETU Deerhoof - The Perfect Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rrnTDDhVnwmode=relatedsearch= Prinzhorn Dance School: Crackjack Docker http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huLplQFezHkmode=usersearch= Revl9n - United http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1aq3mxQ-w0mode=relatedsearch= PLASTICS - COPY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mFipU8PW4g Simone White - Why is your raincoat always crying? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJY_cAarqUU Gina X performance - No GDM 1979 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN-0FjVu4yAmode=relatedsearch= Tuxedomoon - Desire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUfqXrUBnNgmode=relatedsearch= LCD Soundsystem - Yeah (Crass Version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz5b0LXcUEkmode=relatedsearch= Kool Keith - Livin' Astro 1999 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4y9IZqJEhwmode=relatedsearch= Gary Numan - Cars Are Friends Electric ? - BBC 1979 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWwDjZjPhUgmode=usersearch= SHOX LUMANIA Richard Bone - Signals http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnQDHKeZ9Ncmode=relatedsearch= The Residents - The Act Of Being Polite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maWcmXcgCOkmode=relatedsearch= Polysics- I My Me Mine (Strong Machine 2 Version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9wSMuCJCkQ Public Image - Careering http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9O2tsIbKD0 Squarepusher - The Exploding Psychology http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_ImXLQCO20mode=relatedsearch= holger hiller - Ohi Ho Bang Bang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVpzlcUW-8Umode=relatedsearch= DAF - Der Raeuber und der Prinz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDQPVXUegPsmode=relatedsearch= kraftwerk- autobahn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c81X6BiI0Y Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R9_ZLxsmmgmode=relatedsearch= The Birthday Party - A Dead Song (live) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNDx6HGjngkmode=relatedsearch= Lene Lovich - Bird Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maucjGIUzzomode=relatedsearch= Kool Keith - Call the Romans Music Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9llTy7_fVkmode=relatedsearch= Gang Of Four - To Hell With Poverty (TV Live) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPJHQmJAiKAmode=relatedsearch= __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
[spectre] Recent posts on the Furtherfield Blog.
Recent posts on the Furtherfield Blog. http://blog.furtherfield.org 'Lectronic Linking and Thinking, Post-Banff. By Ruth Catlow. Struggling home along the trolley-wobbling pavement of Green Lanes in North London. Dank, grey skies and chaotic, always-divergent, multicultural masses are in sharp contrast to the rarefied air of the mountains of Banff. Where friendly participants clustered around shared interests, to learn, exchange and muck about together. This rare pleasure is very sweet but probably has to be temporary, because the point is to make connections with difference, across distance and then to maintain and explore the creative potentials of those connections...No? So I'm tearing myself away from a fizzing new group of friends on Facebook, all doing interesting work, to cluster three presentations/activities that stick in my mind from the second half of the conference. -- how i got a tail. By Helen Varley Jamieson. i've always fancied the idea of a tail, and last night my dream came true. out with a group of artists on our ponies for a gallery crawl, i was secretly admiring and coveting the impressive long black swishing tail of one of our company, nonnatus. after some time i plucked up the courage to compliment him on his appendage, which it turns out he made himself, and he generously offered to give me one. i leapt at the opportunity promptly attached it to my pelvis. (second) life is so much more fun with a tail. however it detaches every time i wear my pony, when i dismount i have to reattach it, which is pretty annoying... -- Do academics actually do anything? By Aileen Derieg. Calls for support have been circulating around various related mailing lists for several weeks now, and I hope that many, many people will sign the online petitions calling for the suspension of proceedings and the release of those imprisoned in Germany: open letter. The charges against Andrej H. are especially outrageous and clearly pose a threat to the freedom of academic research and political engagement, and a wave of protests has responded accordingly. I wholeheartedly support these efforts on the basis of my own political convictions, but also for personal reasons. -- What is the difference between performing arts and performance art in Second Life? By Patrick Lichty. To ask this question, one is actually asking two simultaneous questions. The first of the two is: What are the differences between performance art and the performing arts, and the second being What is the difference between performance art in the physical and in Second Life? To draw these distictions is to make addressing the issue much more manageable. QUESTION 1: The Difference between Performance and Performing (I will not even bring up the matter of the performative) First, the issue of performance art vs. performaing arts. This is primarily an issue of scope and tradition. Counter to my usual stance, I really like Wikipedia's blurb on the matter: Although performance art could be said to include relatively mainstream activities such as theater, dance, music, and circus-related things like fire breathing, juggling, and gymnastics, these are normally instead known as the performing arts. Performance art is a term usually reserved to refer to a kind of usually avant-garde or conceptual art which grew out of the visual arts. mekkverk administreres av www.teks.no / [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
