Performing Systems, Dec 13

Fast Food Collective is excited to bring you Performing Systems this year at Refest. This series investigates contemporary practices in new cinema and realtime video performance through the use of single channel projections and sound. Each work will examine a different approach to video performance including custom digital and analog systems designed by the artists. For three-day festival passes: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2015-refest-festival-tickets-19426515230 Participating Artists: James Yuxi Cao (http://www.caoyuxi.com/home/2015/3/12/maicrocosm) Walter Wright (https://nohtv.wordpress.com/) Dylan Neely and video artist Alex Nathanson Jonas Bers (https://jonasbers.wordpress.com/) David Linton (http://linton50.wix.com/bicam-rl-av) Eric Barry Drasin (http://ericbarrydrasin.com/) James Yuxi Cao's MACROCOSM is an immersive, audio-visual mapping projection performance. The audio-visual performance will affect audiences with its recursive, abstract imagery and complementary narrative explanation, implying that man in his phenomenal self is equivalent to the lord of the universe. Walter Wright is an interdisciplinary artist; his practice includes computer programming, electro-acoustic music, and video performance. His focus is on "improvisation as a way of being present in the world." Dylan Neely and video artist Alex Nathanson, the duo behind Fan Letters, will be performing pieces from their newest body of work, including Maxine and Herb McDonald.Based on a passage from Thomas Pynchon’s novel The Bleeding Edge, Maxine explores the psychological space of staring out a subway window at the people in passing trains. The piece is performed exclusively with flash light instruments developed by the artists to control both the sound and video.Herb McDonald is an ode to the inventor of the all you can eat buffet. Based in the Hudson Valley, Jonas Bers works with video and sound in the noise and DIY aesthetic; using improvised electronic and electroacoustic instruments, video installation and projection, feedback loops, circuit bending, glitch, drone, recursive images, and video as a sonic medium. David Linton (born Newburgh NY 1956) is a Temporal Media Artist traveling the vectors of sound, light, subculture, media ontology, and signal flow. Since his arrival on the downtown NYC experimental arts scene at the end of the 1970’s Linton has consistently sustained a multi-faceted reputation as an innovative and influential collaborator as well as a driven solo performer over the course of this 30+ year period. Eric Barry Drasin is a Brooklyn-based artist, musician and curator working at the intersection of digital media, performance and installation. His work explores the relationship between composition, interface, performance, score, and synesthetic audiovisual systems. Eric will be presenting a digital real-time system for improvised audiovisual composition.

We've assembled a tremendous lineup of Real time Video Artists who will present video scores with custom hardware and hacked systems. Performing Systems is a series investigating contemporary practices in New Cinema and Realtime Video Performance. We seek to exhibit work that falls at the intersection of technical systems, performance, score and improvisation. Artists will present Realtime Performative works up to 30 minutes for Single Channel Projection with Sound. Through a broad survey of technologies and aesthetics, we seek to understand the language of Realtime that defines our historical moment of technology and art. In doing so we simultaneously seek to highlight and frame these emerging practices, creating a context for their exhibition that legitimizes as it establishes and expands its definition. This includes but is not limited to Generative Software systems, Custom Dataflow Processing Patches, Circuit Bent Instruments, Custom Circuits, or Modular Video Synthesizers.

Our focus is on custom instruments for the creation of real-time sound and visuals. The Round Robin strives to maintain an open atmosphere dedicated to inventive performability and signal processing systems. Performers are to play as solo instrumentalists with either audio, video, or audiovisual performance systems. Performers set up in a circle and play short interlocking sets in a clockwise fashion. After the initial round, each iteration of the Round Robin will feature a different theme that will slightly alter the structure of the previous session. This includes the introduction of a specific set of rule based systems or guest composer’s score. This Improvised Electronics Round Robin will feature a game score by Hans Tammen. Hans Tammen’s “Dark Circuits Light Orchestra” uses Earle Brown’s open form composition idea as a starting point to create a large multi-movement piece, performed by an ensemble of contemporary electronic instrument practices and visuals. Sound and visuals are treated as independent instruments, morphing from one entity to another, are juxtaposed, or put against each other in a crazed collision course of the eye & ear. Hans Tammen created long multi-movement pieces with large ensembles for over a decade, and examples of previous works can be seen here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pd23-fuJmo

Here's the full story:

Nate Crepeault: Nathan Crepeault, graduate of New York University’s music theory and composition program, is a Computer Music Performer, Max/MSP Programmer and Bassist. Exploring boundaries of Real-time sound performance, Nate has engineered a comprehensive set of tools, plugins and hacks to reimagine the Bass guitar as an all encompassing compositional instrument. He uses Max for Live to augment Ableton Live’s capabilities as a live looping tool, alter the functionality of his control surfaces, and tastelessly mangle any and every sound that might come across his workstation. Many of these max4live devices have been released through Bit Voltage, a company he founded in Austin. Nate has been teaching and releasing Max for Live devices through Bit Voltage since his arrival from New York City in early 2011. He performs under the moniker “Deferlow” and is on Reconstructiv, a Texas-based IDM label.

The New York City Patching Circle is a free alternating monthly meeting and salon open to anyone who is working or interested in media programming and audiovisual performance. We mostly use Pd and Max/MSP, but all are welcome.

Beginners and Experienced welcome. Open to everyone, students, the public, unicorns. Work on personal projects, professional projects, school projects, ask for help, help others, or just patch quietly to yourself in a room full of other people patching patches and helping other people patch.

Each month there will be informal salon, featuring demonstrations of projects, performances and systems in the process of being built. The format will include short performances, artist talks about process and performance techniques and Q&A depending on time availability. The salon is openly curated with the intent of being as inclusive as possible and participation is open all practitioners working in realtime media.

For those of you who can not attend the Patching Circle, we will be experimenting with streaming, you will be able to watch the stream and chat (through Facebook so remember to set the posting to “only me”) here: thedepartmentofpublicworks.com

#Improvised Electronics Round Robin

Call For Submission: Performing Systems

Call for Participation: A Survey of Practices in Realtime Video Performance.

Performing Systems is a series investigating contemporary practices in New Cinema and Realtime Video Performance. Through a broad survey of technologies and aesthetics, we seek to understand the language of Realtime that defines our historical moment of technology and art. In doing so we simultaneously seek to highlight and frame these emerging practices, creating a context for their exhibition that legitimizes as it establishes and expands its definition.

Our interest is in the intersection of technical systems, performance and score. This includes but is not limited to Generative Software systems, Custom Dataflow Processing Patches, Circuit Bent Instruments, Custom Circuits, or Modular Video Synthesizers.

We are looking for artists and engineers creating new and unusual ways of performing audio-visuals that challenges the relationship of performer to electronic media. We are very interested in those generating sound and visual simultaneously, though we will consider close collaborations between sound and video artists.

Each performance will be organized thematically based on emerging practices and technologies. Each performer will have approximately one half-hour slot to perform.

Locations TBA
