Sketch for CryWolf project

This is a rough sketch for CryWolf, a multi-purposed tool capable of interfering, intervening and analyzing systems of surveillance. Unfortunately, and since I have been lacking equipment and editing capabilities over the holidays, the uploaded video is neither self-authored or hundred percent fit for use .

The optimal video would be filmed in realtime with a neutral light setting in High Definition quality.

  CryWolf

In its most fundamental sense, CryWolf is an open-source, conceptual tool, based on an act with a video projection. Depending on the act, CryWolf can be used as a means of counterintelligence, as a decoy or as a hacking tool.

The Single Impulse Response act you can complete by yourself whereas the rest of the acts listed demands two or more participants.

To complete an act, each unit will need:

A pocket or mini projector with a built-in or external, portable power-source.

Depending on the projector, you might need an external device for data-input (most devices, however, have built-in storage or card slots)

To download the CryWolf videofile or use a self-authored video.

A target wall/area (surveilled)

  Acts (Legality may vary, depending on usage and local laws)

Single Impulse Response The video is projected on a single targeted wall, letting the user gain information about the response time as well as the character of the reaction. From this, the user will the able to map the reactive security protocols of the targeted system. 

Decoy The video is projected on a wall which belongs to the same reactive system as the actual targeted wall. This will allow users to act elsewhere while the reactive system focuses on the decoy.

Local Impulse Response The videos (preferably more than one) are projected simultaneously on a series of surveilled walls, which are inside a “closed” compound or complex (e.g. a harbor area) and therefore part of the same central reactive system.  Observations will enable users not only to map the reactive security protocol but also its capabilities.

Distributed Impulse Response The videos are projected simultaneously on a multitude of surveilled walls in a greater urban environment and the act is performed repeatedly over a preordained timespan. Besides mapping the security protocols by different reactive systems, the users might also be able to create a “Cry Wolf” scenario, in which the reactive systems become unresponsive due to desensitization.

Niekoľko praktík ako sa vyhnúť pseudohluku

Paramedia Yasunaa Toneho

Text sa snaží uchopiť a objasniť praktiky japonského multimediálneho umelca Yasunaa Toneho naprieč jeho širokým dielom poprepletaným množstvom odkazov s filozofickým, literárnovedným či technologickým presahom. Definovanie týchto praktík nám pomôže odkryť dlhú púť od slova smerom k skreslenému šumu, hluku. Toneho Mutácie, dekonštrukcie, koncept Parasite/Noise a paramedia jasne znázorňujú tvrdenie, že hluk a hluk nie je vždy to isté.

„Na díle Yasunaa Toneho je nejpozoruhodnější to, že je svobodné a zároveň hermetické – protože postrádá referenci. Není prezentováno, je přítomné. Nebylo vytvořeno proto, aby vám něco říkalo. Není to ,něco‘. Ono jenom je.”

VLNA, 59, téma: Pseudo

[prepareforthefight]

I left my home still as a child  I walked a thousand soary miles  To wait for my father, to gather up his truth  He said my boy you've got to run  Don't wait for me, don't wait for mum  We'll come get you, when it's safe for us to move  So I waited many years,  held back the pain behind my tears  For my father, to come find me like he said  And in that time I was alone,  so many years without my home  I made brothers of a different kind instead  [Instrumental break]  And in the time I didn't know,  just how hard the wind could blow  Towards disaster, and the things that I would see  I never found my father,  I never found my mother  Even would I know in my lifetime I will be  A hero into the masses,  to those born without chances  There's a freedom that everyone deserves  I know there's greed and there's corruption  I've seen death and mass destruction  But I'm telling you, and I hope that I'm heard  And I will not be commanded,  And I will not be controlled  And I will not let my future go on,  without the help of my soul  And I will not be commanded,  And I will not be controlled  And I will not let my future go on,  without the help of my soul  And I will not be commanded,  And I will not be controlled  And I will not let my future go on,  without the help of my soul  I will not be commanded,  I will not be controlled  And I will not let my future go on,  without the help of my soul

I'm going to get enough footage with my GoPro while I'm on the job to make a video to this song.  This song hits me and I know it hits my crew too.  We want to make an EMS tribute video to this song.  Eventually it will happen.
