Artkillart is a label based in Paris / Berlin, created in 2007. The label aims to promote experimental audiovisual and sound art. Artkillart invites artists to conceptualize, create and design an object, which explores the limitations of the support (dvd, cd and/or vinyle). Each object is designed following this reflection, as an experience for the artist and an experience for the audience.

Artists : Radio Free Robots, Samon Takahashi, Vincent Epplay, Yann Leguay, chdh, harddisko, Michael Sellam, RYbN, Das Wunderlitzer

DESCRIPTION

chdh : audiovisual performance (paris - fr)

chdh propose a live hybrid performance, offering a symbiosis between the sound and the image. Between minimalism and industrial, chdh creates a single, cold but organic universe. Thanks to the use of mathematical algorithms and physical models, chdh brings a new vision of the use of data-processing tools in digital creation. The use of audio-visual objects, having a sound component and a video component controlled by the same parameters allows an effective management of the relations between the two medias.

This project evokes a virtual world, made up with more or less autonomous abstract creatures. The aesthetics of the video and the sound is minimalist: sines, diracs and noises interact with lines, spheres and other primitive in a 3D black and white visual environment.

The role of chdh during live performances is to play with the movement of these objects, in order to make them live and react. Two musicians handle the instruments by using an abstracted layer, software representation of the audio-visual object. Each algorithm then creates data used for the video synthesis and for the sound synthesis, creating a strong cohesion during the performance.

chdh has been created by Cyrille Henry and Damien Henry, and is now composed by Cyrille Henry and Nicolas Montgermont.

monochrome [av/rt/p] - rybn.org

Monochrome is an audiovisual performance, built with black sequences extracted from various divx movies. During the performance, the saturation parameter of the video channel is linked to the the sound master voulme, little by little, the black disappear, several blocks of pixels emerge, creating abstract forms and colors from the divx compression codec. The performance is made in total darkness.

The project has been curated, in its net version, by Incident.net for the monochrome “hors-série” (2007).

RYBN is A multi-field artistic collective, specialized in realisation of installations, performances and interfaces by refering as well to the codified systems of the artistic representation (painting, architecture, counter-cultures) as to the human and physic phenomenas (geopolitics, socio-economy, sensory perception, cognitive systems). Their axe of research : the construction of a « semantics of the convergence », via the coupling, the diversion and the perversion of writing and formalization tools connected to the technologies of communication, information and sensory – webs, data flows, smell, surveillance, audiovisual, interaction, real time.

Trios : Samon Takahashi & Vincent Epplay

Live improvisation based on Tristram Carry’s Trios.

“Trios” is a sound masterpiece from the composer Tristram Cary, originaly played with a turntable and a VS3 Synthi. The piece was exhumed by Samon Takahashi & Vincent Epplay in 2006 for the Sonortiés festival of Montpellier, and released on Artkillart in december 2007.

The performance is associated with Vincent Epplay’s visual work, based on movies extracted from the educational productions and/or scientific demonstrations, Epplay’s movies are a series of sequences, cleared out of any human presence, which recombine these materials, and give them an abstract form. The original meanings is neutralized. The remake is also tangible, linked to the idea of relecture, reinterpretation of forms. In their rearrangement, they generates a series of hypnoytic audiovisual events.

Vincent Epplay’s visual work

* Samon Takahashi, visual artist and composer, born in 1970, lives and works in Paris.

** Vincent Epplay is a plastician and craetor of material sonic environments. He creates loci for listening by staging sound and interrogating its mode of distribution and reception. From sonic device installations to live performance, the context of production and dissemination, as well as the behaviourial dynamics of listeners-spectators. In his work, the visual artist and musician Vincent Epplay focuses on the notion of experience linked with music. This interest takes shape as a reflection on the process of listening, the transmission and reception of sound, the different ways it is placed in an environment, its temporality and its context. Epplay’s various set-ups for listening, sound installations and live interventions delve into the connection between sound and image, offering visitors an experimental terrain as they become attentive listeners as well. Created in a public area, on the Web, or as a CD-ROM, his pieces occupy particular spaces to create individual and collective listening conditions.

Cutter Off 2 / DISSECTION : Yann Leguay

Cutter off : vinyl’s bruitist dissection. In anatomy, a dissection consist to open a body following a defined protocol. In geometry, a dissection problem constit in a figure cutting , in sort of replace pieces in a new order. Cutter Off Dissection is an evolutive mix, the cutting is made in live, starting with a blank vinyl, using surgical tools plugged into micro-contact. Cutter Off2 [dissection] is the live version of the project Dead_Media. The performance is filmed with surveillance cameras, and the images are projected during the performance, the video allows the audience to associate the gestures to the sounds - macro-video made by Jérôme Fino.

* Yann leguay, membre de Radio Free Robots, plasticien, travaille prinicpalement sur les supports audio périssables.

Audiotrace : laboiteblanche & Carl.Y

Audiotrace (Auto audio world Scanner) is a system of aleatory and real time scan of available sound source on the network. Sources are principally corporate organizations, such as police radios, firemen, frequency signals, C.B., etc. In a simultaneous superposition, a strange aggregate of incessant and omnipresent sound streams emerge, and a sound easthetic in its whole of a moving world. Our ear randomly retains key words giving an approximative idea of an intelligible content and one takes slowly then the role of a surveillance program, overflowed by the quantity of information to collect and analyse.

For the cimatics event, audiotrace will be performed as an audiovisual performance, the visual will be a scanner which shows the geographic location of the sources.

Audiotrace is performed by laboiteblanche & carl.y [nomusic.org] * **

* Laboiteblanche mainly uses and diverts the new sound technologies on the web – live and within installations. His experimentations drove him since several years to work progressively on a “mise en abîme” of the urban and technologic contemporary world by multiple procedures : by the re-use of sound sources available on the net (global on line corporatism : police radios, networks bound to information, etc), but also by a systematic diversion of the codes of cultural, mass-mediatic and de-humanising conditionnings : video games, security, publicity, aviation, etc… laboiteblanche operates an increasing jamming, an icy salutary scalpel in the negative wandering in order to try to make living what perhaps is already dead.

** Carl Y : Ex-intern of the Abattoirs de Chaumont – deconstructor of tapestry – chopper of samples, champion of sound boomrang on the net – but all this stays accessory…He is co-founder with laboiteblanche of the international online electronic sounds festival NOMUSIC (www.nomusic.org : 24 hours of sonory experimentations and of concerts all over the world retransmitted in streaming), heralding from there the new contemporary practicals of playing and listening.

TIME SLIP
Antoine Schmitt - september 2008
http://www.gratin.org/timeslip

On the screen or on a public display, a news ticker constantly displays scrolling textual news, but these news are conjugated at the future tense : “Obama will get 53% of the votes in Arkansas”, “A plane crash in Madrid will kill 153 people”, “the NASDAQ will drop 4.3 points today”. Apart from the tense of the verbs, all the news are completely true…

For the spectator, it is as if he was projected in the past of a few hours and that someone told him the future : feeling of going back in time. Or for someone who would not already know the news, it would be like if an oracle would tell her the future in advance : feeling of anxiety or of perverse full power. In all cases, it is a work that unsettles and generates uneasiness by introducing a crack in the flow of time. All the more because it uses graphic codes and display contexts usually attached to real news.

TIME SLIP is a visual artwork referring to philosophical questionings on destiny, its potential pre-written nature or its causal determinism, and in the end, a work on free will. It confronts the spectator to the control of his own destiny in a universe where time and its causality can slip. It is also a work on the motive energy of unpredictability and risk, more and more central in the contemporary world.
There is still an escape door for the spectator through the realization of the essential vanity of this system which pretends to know what will happen, but which in fact knows nothing. But this door is not easy to find.

TIME SLIP is based on a custom software that feeds from the official news agencies and changes the tense of selected news from past or present to future tense. TIME SLIP is always up to date. It is a programmed generative artwork.

* Antoine Schmitt atypically first lead a successful software designer carreer before becoming an active artist, exhibited internationally. Antoine Schmitt invents new forms of dynamic shapes, by exploring the realm of the dynamic object and especially these so special objects that are the living beings. By abstracting and recreating the causes of behaviors, the forces behind the movements, inside algorithmically driven installations, online exhibitions and CD-Roms, he confronts the spectator to abstract others, which essence is perceived through their audio and visual manifestations, externalizations of their inner modes of being. Antoine Schmitt hunts down the shape of the being deep inside human nature. Happening underneath langage and meaning, sensation is at the heart of his artworks. His artistic work yields installations, performances and online works, exhibited online or offline since 1995. This work has recently won various prizes in international festivals : First prize Net Art at medi@terra (Athens, 1999), First Prize of outdoor installations at Interférences (Public Jury, Belfort, 2000), honorary mention in software art at transmediale.01 (Berlin, 2001), Online prize at the 11th International Video Dance Grand Prix (Paris, 2002), Life5.0 (Madrid, 2002), machinista (Perm Russia 2003), CYNETArt (Dresden, DE, 2004).

LAPS
networked audiovisual installation
nicolas montgermont / nicolas maigret - 2008
http://artoffailure.free.fr/index.php?/projects/laps-full/

LAPS is an audio and visual installation that uses Internet as an imaginary space where sound echoes, reverberates throughout the Web. Based on transmission errors, a sound material is shaped by the virtual acoustic space of the network. Sound streams broadcasted within the installation structure gradually echoes the activity of the Web in various locations of the globe. Its analysis in these various points is used to progressively draw the contours of an imaginary landscape inside the installation.

* Nicolas Montgermont, researcher and artist, studies the relations between art and sciences using the computer as a workshop. After a formation in signal processing, he studies sciences applied to music at the IRCAM center, being specially focused on real time control of synthesis. Currently, he carries out a PhD thesis on the analysis of the flutist playing at the Laboratory of Musical Acoustics (LAM) in Paris. His creating work is the search of a numerical aesthetics, using and developing personal tools to explore the specific possibilities of a computer. He works mainly on performances with the chdh collective and on installations in duo with Nicolas Maigret.
http://nim.on.free.fr

* Nicolas Maigret, has been developing an experimental practice of sound and electronic images (performances, installations, programming, radio) since 2001. Researcher between art and science, his work takes the shape of a laboratory, decomposing technological tools to generate specific sonic or visual language from them. He tends to place audience in the situation of psychic and physical experience. Ex-member of the laboratory Locus-Sonus, he teaches the Intermedia at the fine arts School of Bordeaux at present.

Craft, industrial and numerical production modes change our relationships with products (single object, original and copy, duplicable). Internet contributes to increase access to existing and duplicable media, texts, images, data. What about art practices consisting into fitting, sampling, feeding, assembling, interpret this existing data and media ? What about Web2.0 information and media saturation and demultiplication ? What kind of social imaginary is generated? What about limits between public and private spaces? what about copyright, property, paternity? What about the relationship between information, access, search engines and power?

La soirée V.O.S.T. / Doublage présente des vidéos et des installations qui s’approprient le doublage comme une forme en soi, en explorent les ramifications telles que la doublure, le double et distordent la relation entre le langage, l’image et le son.

V.O.S.T.
Les influences du cinéma dans la création artistique contemporaine: de la citation à la réappropriation. Avec les medias numériques, le cinéma est devenu une source de contenu et un matériau que les spectateurs et les artistes découpent, samplent, modèlent, transforment, dénaturent, mutent, dérivent. Dans les marges aussi, les appendices de l’industrie cinématographique produisent matière à création: les sous-titres, le doublage, le générique, les bandes-annonces sont autant d’espaces que traverse la création artistique.
Les sessions V.O.S.T. explorent les pratiques contemporaines, la vidéo, la création artistique et technologique actuelle, et rassemblent des réalisations qui investissent ces appendices du cinéma et en actualisent l’idée qu’on s’en fait.
Les sessions V.O.S.T. sont organisées par Alexis Chazard (Cela Etant) et Marika Dermineur (Incident.net) .

« Le conte est universel », dit Babacar Mbaye Ndaak. Quand le Conteur raconte son métier, il parle de la puissance de la parole, de la parole en action, des mots qui commencent l’histoire et du conte qui commence l’Histoire. La vidéo « Lebóon » suspend cet instant où la parole entre en action.

« HORS LA VILLE »
Samedi 2 juin 2007 à partir de 18h30 au Goethe-Institut de Dakar
Sélection de vidéos et courts-métrages, organisée par Karen Dermineur

« Hors la ville » est un thème universel, qui trouve un écho tout particulier à Dakar, où l’on passe sans transition de la zone urbaine à la campagne, et où la culture ancestrale semble s’être infiltrée par un interstice très mince des villages à la ville. « Hors la ville », c’est faire le chemin inverse, c’est retourner aux sources.

Deux projections simultanées sur grands écrans vous invitent au voyage.

Depuis la fin des années 80, les technologies du Data Mining sont utilisées afin d’optimiser les résultats économiques des activités commerciales et financières. Elles permettent d’extraire des connaissances par l’analyse de vastes bases de données. Aujourd’hui, elles sont exploitées par de nombreuses activités dont la finalité n’est pas essentiellement économique : missions humanitaires, recherche fondamentale, services de renseignement et de sécurité, sondages, etc. Ce déploiement est symptomatique de l’économisation de la société.

L’essor de cette pratique coïncide avec l’augmentation exponentielle du nombre de données numériques auxquelles nous sommes confrontés - internet, réseaux de téléphonie, flux ininterrompus, augmentation des espaces de stockage, numérisation, formats de compression. Ces données constituent une empreinte digitale des comportements socio-économiques et géopolitiques. Mais leur masse toujours croissante génère une opacité nouvelle, rendant leur perception plus complexe.

“Anti Data Mining” est un projet de recherche basé sur la récupération, via internet, et de nombreux indices socio-économiques et des flux boursiers et financiers. Ces données sont archivées et classées, puis sont ensuite soumises au traitement des algorithmes propres au Data Mining. Le projet vise à faire émerger, à visualiser et à prédire des phénomènes de déséquilibres socio-économiques.
