Art Dirt Redux

DaDa@MoMA (to be listened to backwards)

MP3

Probably the best museum show I have ever seen and heard is the DaDa exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. I liked it so much I was inspired and did two Art Dirt Redux Mash-ups. The first one uses the curators audio tour guide and the audio I recorded while Rob Murphy & I walked around the exhibit. I used a cut-up technique and shuffled the “found sound” of the curators comments.

The second mashup is called, DaDa@MoMA pt. 2 (to be listened to backwards with curators on WaWa) http://spaghetti.nujus.net/artDirt
In this on I cut up and reversed the sound sample I took with Rob Murphy during our walk around. The curators comments are overlapped left channel and right channel and run through a WaWa effect.

DaDa@MoMA Mashup PT.1

You heard it first. You first it heard. Heard you first it. First heard it you. Or something like that. This is it. The first DaDa@MoMA Mashup.

Sinners & Saints at Location One

MP3

Location One http://location1.org always has a surprise that makes it worth checking out. The open house wednesday evening events are a mix of really interesting lectures by media artists, theorists and other unique people. Often there are performances and special events. I went to the Sinners & Saints party that was a sort of fundraiser and an evening get together with a performance by "Rev. Luke Murphy." The galleries were also filled with the 2006 A.I.R projects. They are all terrific and worth checking out eith at one of the Wednesday evening events or during gallery hours. While I was ther I bumped into Judy Nylon, a hard core Punk Rocker from the 1970's. We started to reminisce or should I say compare notes. Judy is pretty terrific and still as real as ever. Anyway, the artist team Leesa & Nicole Abahuni did a wonderful sound art piece that was activated by people touching a copper cloth and each other. Very social focus point realtional aesthetics. Watch for more work from them. The performance by Luke Murphy was ostensibly a corporate style motivational talk with bar charts, graphs and so on. What the subject was however was psychological states of happiness, despair and anxiety. It was all very logical, and absurd. It makes David Burns' art style power point presentations look anemic and surfacey by comparison. I saw Luke Murphy http://www.lukelab.com/ give an artists' talk at pace digital Pace Digital this Spring. He's partially inspired by Joseph Beuys. Trying to quantify or map emotions. I'm reminded of some of the funkier lecture style art performances of Peter Fend. If you get a chance see one of his performances.
