Rare Earth by Robert McDougall HD Video with Sound, 31:36, 2021 / watch the video here DIVING INTO Portrait of a place, stories of water and minerals, counter histories, the end of empire, geography and imagination, anthropocene dreams. Globalization in the late 20th century accelerated the mining activities, as global companies began competing for possession of the minerals, mostly choosing to subcontract the extraction process to China to save on costs and to avoid environmental regulations. This assured the importation to the West of bountiful rare earth metals, while similarly assuring the permanent exportation of the violent environmental damage which rare earth extraction causes. Western civilisation has always exported violence beyond its borders, with the world now divided, as Guillaume Pitron writes, “between the dirty and those who pretend to be clean”.

Escala-

Generative sound system developed for the video installation “The weather has been nice” by Andrea Wolf.

The system uses postcards provided by the visual artist Andrea Wolf as a visual score, tracing their images and generating sounds in response to the varying color values of the pixels. The sounds generated are a mix of synthesized compositions and snippets of voices reading the content of the same postcards.

Polvo by  Merche Blasco

Gestural interface made from engraved acrylic discs, wood, and light sensors.

Using the structure and hardware that I built for Lobatus, I created a new variation to accommodate a different gestural vocabulary. My interaction with Polvo, with its three circular discs, borrows from the body language of a DJ scratching or spinning to navigate the timeline of a record. Here, I apply similar gestures to extract snippets of field recordings or compositions using a granulation synthesis process.

The granular engravings on Polvo’s discs are a reference this sound process, and they also make the discs easier for me to grasp and operate during performance. http://half-half.es/

Experiment: build an automated snaredrum get some tape recorders, televisions plus some other (half broken) machines and wire it all together. Result: a sort of slow krautrock monster.

PositionsOfTheUnknown from Quadrature on Vimeo.

At the very beginning of space exploration the infrastructure to monitor the whole sky was not yet developed. So in order to find out whether foreign countries launched objects, the US government started to train citizens to observe and detect possible artificial satellites. Scattered over the allied world, these amateur scientists played a crucial part in keeping track of all men-made technology orbiting earth, until “Operation Moonwatch” was discontinued in 1975.

But existing knowledge and passion did not disappear together with the public mandate and the participating civilians found another sphere of interest: discovering and exposing those objects, whose existence is denied by official sources.

Until today a devoted group of amateur astronomers runs an alternative catalogue, containing about 450 datasets missing in the officially published lists. Most of these classified objects are still defined though and their true nature is known. But for currently 52 objects no specifications are available. Only their locations can be calculated.

“Positions of the Unknown” locates the current whereabouts of these mysterious objects by simply pointing at them as they revolve around Earth. Missing the legal proof, those unidentified artefacts remain entities of pure speculation, secret companions of us and our planet. Even so they have been sighted several times and their ubiquitous presence is therefore somehow validated, they linger in a state between existence and non-existence. Quadrature’s 52 small machines constantly follow their paths and serve as silent witnesses of the unknown.
