Muscle Music: Turning the Body’s Signals into Sound


Analogous Projects is excited to announce an upcoming workshop by former Interaction Art Incubator Fellow Torino:Margolis. Muscle Music: Turning the Body’s Signals into Sound will feature the technical development behind former Interaction Art Incubator project Action Potential, a new media work giving voice to human free will through a combination of circuitbending, choreography, and electromyography.

Nocturnalist | Taking the Canvas Digital

To the untrained eye, the small ground-floor space in Brooklyn held a few largely unremarkable objects: what appeared to be a flat-screen television and a plexiglass light fixture hung on one side; a scramble of wires and a strip of what looked like Christmas lights adorned the other.

But to the 30 or so guests at Devotion Gallery in Williamsburg on Wednesday night — most in town for the International Computer Music Conference this week — these were objets d’art. More than that, they were buzzing, blinking examples of artificial intelligence.

The cluster of wires, vaguely squid-shaped, for example, replicated neurological pathways: the structure chirped in response to any sound. The plastic ceiling lamp was actually a speaker streaming a mash-up of 24 sad voicemail messages and guitar riffs from the Internet, scratching and mixing the messages in real time. The artists called the resulting music “Cellphonia: Blues.”

Aren Eigenfeldt, 46, a professor of music technology in Vancouver, British Columbia, had come just to see the blinking Christmas lights. Actually, they were a kaleidoscopic display of computerized smarts: the LED bulbs played off one another, changing colors according to an algorithm.

“It’s a paradox,” said Scott McLaughlin, scrutinizing the lights with Mr. Eigenfeldt. “Yeah, it’s Christmas lights — until you know what it is.”

Mr. Mc Laughlin presented his own interactive piece, called Shoals, during which the gallery guests huddled together and played a symphony of tones from the Internet on their iPhones, laptops and an iPad. An anthem of the Internet age.

Guests sipped wine and discussed things like complexity theory and generative art. Mr. Eigenfeldt wondered whether the type of art on view could have a future.

But for some, it proved too brave a new world.

Phillip David Stearns, 28 spent six months creating the chirping wire cephalopod. “I’m so over it,” he said.

“Every time we try to make life from machines, it shows how much we are missing,” he said, adding, “I went back to gardening.”

(Exhibition hours are from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, at 54 Maujer Street in Williamsburg, L to Lorimer or G to Metropolitan. Click here for complete exhibition details.)

Analogous Projects is pleased to present Digital Intelligence & Analogous Interactions, a group show opening at 5:00 p.m. on June 2nd at Devotion Gallery in Williamsburg, as part of the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC). Works include three committee-selected ICMC AI pieces by Brett Balogh (Chora), Scott Mc Laughlin (Shoals), and Steve Bull + Scot Gresham-Lancaster (Cellphonia), as well as additional complexity-driven works by Nick Lesley (Epic Doom) and Philip Galanter (RGBCA).

ScrapCycle(reUSE/reCOMBINE)

creative reuse of refuse through recombination 


Opens May 7th, 2010 at Devotion Gallery. Through May 30th, 2010.

ScrapCycle places an exchange-value on upcycled and reused materials, in order to probe the environmental effects of economic perspective.  By presenting concrete implementations of reuse and recombination, ScrapCycle(reUSE/reCOMBINE) serves to liken the small pervasive effects of social sculpture, environmental activism, and economic perspective to a fine-tuning of interdependent parameters with global results.
