Minute/Year flyers for 2026, freshly arrived from the printers đź’Ą

Hi all. On the evening of next Friday, September 19., we will be presenting an event at ausland, featuring Marta Zapparoli, KvT, and DuChamp. Each act will use the archive created by the daily recordings captured by Minute/Year as material for their three live concert sets. And Minute/Year, as you might recall, is our work that is currently installed in ausland for the whole of this year.

On Saturday, November 4., at SPEKTRUM, Rumelange, Luxembourg, there will be a performance by Angelo Mangini and Kevin Muhlen — and this performance will also be an intervention in Minute/Year, our ongoing durational installation.

This performance will use the one minute of sound generated by Minute/Year during its daily layering process as the initiating point and source material for a live process of iterating and weaving sound.

“Moving away from the anthropomorphic metaphors of artificial intelligence signals, for me, a really valuable shift — saying that maybe can just think about this as computers, computing. Not computers trying to be like humans. Even things like ChatGPT are going to be useful in very specific and narrow kinds of applications. And it comes with all kinds of glitches and flaws and faults, and moments of breaking. Because it is just computers doing things. And they always break.”

In Repatterning 9/1, Maya Indira Ganesh (@Mayameme) talks about language and metaphor, artificial intelligence and instinct, the flaws and costs of technology, and scoring societies.
