Tecnoteatro 8.0
da giovedì 2 a sabato 4 marzo - HMA- Torino
Ritorna il circo tecnologico ad alta capacità creativa negli spazi di Hiroshima Mon Amour: suoni, immagini e parole come non vi aspettate.
TecnoTeatro, il free festival delle nuove forme di arte e di spettacolo, è diventato un appuntamento seguito con grande interesse dalla critica specializzata e da un pubblico sempre più numeroso e attento: dopo sette edizioni, è ormai un meeting consolidato, un punto di riferimento per artisti italiani e stranieri che lavorano nel campo dell’innovazione e della sperimentazione.
La formula è sicuramente uno dei punti di forza della manifestazione: ogni serata è gratuita ed è costruita come una sorta di programma circense contemporaneo: più numeri si susseguono, con eventi in contemporanea nelle tre sale attrezzate di Hiroshima Mon Amour, con la stessa dignità di spazio per gli avvenimenti più spettacolari e per gli approfondimenti.
In questa edizione le performance/installazioni sono le produzioni residenti: permetteranno agli spettatori di riflettere sulla demarcazione tra le varie forme d’arte.
L’ingresso a tutti gli spettacoli è gratuito

MARCHING PLAGUE - Critical Art Ensemble
World Premiere
MARCHING PLAGUE
(USA 2006. Cert 15)
A new film from Critical Art Ensemble
Commissioned and produced by The Arts Catalyst
Part of the AV Festival 06
Saturday 4 March 2006, 6.45pm
Tyneside Cinema, Newcastle
Tickets: £5/£3 (includes a glass of wine)
Tickets are available from the Tyneside Cinema Box Office on 0191 232
8289.
The World Premiere of a new film Marching Plague by Critical Art Ensemble is presented on 4 March at the AV Festival 06.
Filmed on location on the Isle of Lewis in North West Scotland, the film presents a powerful critique of UK-US bio-weapons research and addresses the paranoia surrounding bio-terrorism. It centres on Critical Art Ensemble's recreation of some of the secret sea trials conducted by the UK government in the 1950s off the coast of Scotland, which investigated the airborne distribution of bacterial agents including plague.
Commissioned by The Arts Catalyst, Marching Plague will be screened at Tyneside Cinema, and is followed by a panel discussion with Steve Kurtz and Steve Barnes of US art collective, Critical Art Ensemble. The film seeks to expose the relative ineffectiveness of germ warfare compared with more conventional terrorist weapons, and to highlight the diversion of resources from pressing medical research to high-cost bioweapons research programmes in the current climate of fear of terrorist attacks.
Steve Kurtz, a founding member of Critical Art Ensemble, is currently at the centre of one of the most controversial court cases thrown up by George Bush¹s Patriot Act. In 2004 when his wife Hope died naturally of heart failure at their home, Kurtz called the authorities. The police, finding science equipment and art materials used by Critical Art Ensemble¹s in their ongoing work, called in the FBI. Kurtz was detained and investigated for bio-terrorism. He was later charged with mail fraud and wire fraud. He faces up to 20 years in prison and the US Justice Department is still seeking charges relating to biological weapons.
Marching Plague will also be screened at the ICA, London, in May, and is part of the Whitney Biennial, New York, March - May 2006.

Taxi and Harp
1 http://www.asondheim.org/taxi2.mp3
Modified taxi communication system way out of normal bands, on 11755 Khz.
What on earth is it doing there? It's local, but not _that_ local.
Modification: extreme hiss filter elimination, saving hiss.
2 http://www.asondheim.org/harp2.mp3
This is a long (17+ minutes) Alpine zither (guitar zither, concert zither) improvisation, unmodified. At times there are errors. I'm still exploring the sonic 'territory' of the zither, playing in non-traditional ways.
It's a difficult instrument, often needing tuning or retuning. Both left-hand and right-hand techniques are odd; the left stops strings on a fretboard with both fingers and the side of the thumb, and the right (I think!) generally uses the thumb with a pick for the fretboard strings, the other fingers working the 27 or so open (harp) strings. I've changed the technique, using the thumb and three fingers of the right hand anywhere -
i.e. on the open or fretted strings, and occasionally plucking with the left hand fingers as well.
3 http://www.asondheim.org/harp1b.mp3
A short modified (with high hiss removal) zither piece, reasonably sparse.
(The zither music I've heard is all relatively slow, but I assume this is just happenstance, what I've come across.) In any case, more exploration of sonic territory, complete with errors and folk patterning.

Addictive TV Comes to Watermans
**Addictive TV Comes to Watermans**
Watermans are thrilled to present a one-off live cinema performance by superstar audio visual artists Addictive TV.
World leading audio/visual artists Addictive TV give a rare performance of their acclaimed live cinema project, The Eye of the Pilot, and a special screening of material from the sell-out Optronica visual music festival they organised in association with the bfi National Film Theatre.
Addictive TV
"The Eye of the Pilot" a live cinema performance + Optronica : a special screening of visual music animations
Remixing the incredible 8mm colour archive of French airline pilot, Raymond Lamy, filmed during his travels in the 1950's, Addictive TV's The Eye of the Pilot is a musical and visual travelogue with an original soundtrack by the group, featuring live guitar from Alejandro de Valera.
The journey takes audiences to places such as Karachi, Ivory Coast, Saigon, Tahiti and San Francisco, capturing the romantic innocence of the world at a time when traveling with a home movie camera was still highly unusual. The performance gives a rare glimpse into the beginnings of a world that we all now take for granted - where the recording of images and international travel are common place.
Using hi-tech creative multimedia tools and modern aesthetics, Addictive TV integrate the old and the new, fusing more than just music and images, as they evocatively bring to life film from over half a century ago.
Addictive TV
Voted #1 VJ in DJ Magazine's 2004 first ever worldwide VJ poll,
Addictive TV are a London based group of audio/visual artists and producers.
Performing their audio/visual shows internationally, criss-crossing the art and club worlds, Addictive TV have played at venues from the Pompidou Centre in Paris to Tokyo superclub Ageha and have collaborated with artists including Howie B and 808 State.

PLENUM at NodeL
- A plenary meeting session in * 12* hours,* 5* acts ,* 2* interludes.
- Plus* the optional* epilogue.
- 7pm, March 25 to 7am, March 26, 2006 (door opens 6pm)
- Lime House Townhall, East London
- admission by a piece of raw (meat, fish, veggie +++++++++++)
PLENUM is a
in association with Open Congress and Boxing Club
PLENUM is a novel event format governed by a live-algorithm that can
variably be adapted to a number of issues affecting communities, groups
and initiatives within the independent, self- organising framework of
net culture today.
PLENUM refers to the space of open public meetings and public
speeches/debates as a commons. The project relates to the current
discourse on open source software and open culture practice. It
strives to probe consensual and participatory organisations, hold to account
notions of transparency, shared commons and the underlying power
structures.
PLENUM comes out of KOP's
Commons/Tales and its "RULE OUT: Autonomy takes on Openness" workshop
session at Open Congress, Tate Britain 2005. PLENUM at NodeL takes into
account the media funding initiative and self-organizing efforts that
produces this citywide London media season of March, 2006. On a larger
scheme, PLENUM is concerned with the poly-independent system that we
operate within.
In collaboration with
acts with readily extendible Pd (pure data), SuperCollider patches or
any networked OSC-enabled code. The software is concerned with an
interface which operates in two directions - from the realm of
speculative or expanded software (aka. the social) to the reduced yet
equally effective realm of codified software and (as output, as
interference, as noise) the entry of executed results back. A
repetitive return trip. A two way street.
We invite media practitioners , cultural workers , Pders and all
speculative
coders in any chosen language, who are part or not part of NodeL as
speakers, moderators, performers, and participants for PLENUM's 12
hour
tour de force. With an aim at developing a working module for agenda
setting and self-organization, PLENUM further explores the tension
between the individual and the group voice, the human material and
machine factor, the coming together and the falling apart, ultimately,
the potential escalation of arguments leading to the (un)aviodable
crash of self-made social units. Hopefully, a final walk out to River Thames
at sunrise would revive the drained codes and souls.
