Artist working with situations getting into situations

Poetic interventions; tautological remediations; social exchanges; situational practice; place and time and nonplace and nontime; and other distress

The relation is a social construct

“Services like this rely on a basic level of human decency and trust"

Just the British Museum there, lecturing people about theft.

The British Museum.

Lecturing people about theft.

Well done to this artist who has well and truly made his point 😂

Made a v silly "I Am Sitting in a Room" clone for a School for Poetic Computation class I'm taking this summer (Musical Web). You can poke around my blog post at: https://www.2nd.systems/musicalweb/pages/1.html | #sfpc #audio #musicalweb #AlvinLucier
Week 1

The social construct is a social construct

been experimenting with computing-infused ceramics and the latest one is a pillow phone rest that puts your phone on do not disturb..

is this something that people would buy :O

Think Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting In A Room" x John Cage's "4' 33"" x an airliner crash in slow motion.

It's called You Are Here (Demo)

I got to "perform" at Ambitions Graveyard, Norwich, last week; and the ICA, London, yesterday. I used each venues sound-tech available, and an Echo Machine EM600 I borrowed.

I never quite put Song of Ungrounding to bed, but never quite picked it up again.

This month tho, it got it's first live outing. What does a live show look like for a band without players?

To find out, I set up 2 mics run through a delay pedal into a soundsystem to two speakers, positioned in the round to record the sounds of a room and play it back into itself on delay; a feedback loop slowly building into a roaring avalanch of noise.
