performance art
Articles about performance art:
Sorry synth fans, but this Saturday Synth Porn entry is a little less synthy than usual and a little more porn-y.
The image above is from a performance of Technosexual, from Micha Cardenas and Elle Mehrmand’s Mixed Relations.
Mixed Relations consists of a series of performances and workshops that explore the relations between bodies and technology within mixed realities.
If you can handle avant garde lesbian erotic multi-reality performance art, with motion sensors & a Nintendo Wii, see the details below.
Otherwise, here are the kitties and synthesizers. Read more…
The Pendulum Electronica
The Pendulum Electronica
via sciencefidelity:
This is a work from 2002 inspired by the Pendulum Music by Steve Reich. Four torches hang directly above four light sensors, four assistants pull back and release the torches simultaneously, as each torch passes its light sensor a sound is played.
The sounds are field recordings made in the city the work is being performed. Cities the work has visited include Nottingham, Glasgow and Paris, here are clips from two different performances in Cardiff.
Music From Painting
What does painting sound like?
That’s the question explored by Jen Cotton’s Pour Sound, an experimental electronic music piece that translates painting into sound:
This is using openFrameworks for the computer vision and Super Collider to generate the sound.
The CV reads the color values of the canvas and generates sound based on the amount of red (R), green (G), or blue (B) that is present. The paint itself is thinned out into washes so that creates layers of colors that create layers of sound.
What would Rauschenberg painting sound like? Or Mondrian?
More examples of the piece are available at Cotton’s vimeo site.
NSFW: Blow Job VI
The latest performance of Wojciech Kosma’s Blow Job, by Dganit Elyakim in Uganda Jerusalem.
The piece explores microphone feedback, modulated by the proximity of the performer’s mouth.
To some, Kosma’s work is cutting edge audiovisual performance art. For others, it’s wankery for intellectuals.

This video features a massive Club Of The Knobs analog modular synthesizer, creating the soundtrack for a multimedia performance.
via rustyanalog:
Eight general human emotions were performed (love, disgust, humor, fear, destruction, pathos, heroic, wondrous).
We appreciate the concept very much – but the sound which was created – just incredible!
If you’ve got any more information on this performance, please leave a comment!
