Culture Jam: Hijacking Commercial Culture (Trailer) from Ezra Winton on Vimeo.
A new breed of revolutionary stands poised along our information highways waging war on logos and symbols. They're "Culture Jammers" and their mission is to artfully reclaim our mental environment and cause a bit of brand damage to corporate mindshare.

is an installation created by Yann Seznec and mushrooms expert Patrick Hickey. As the title suggests, Seznec's intention was to translate the movement of spores into sound. The phenomenon is largely confined to the undergrowth and - as such – is usually out of the reach of human perception. To address this idea the artist has created an elaborate installation in which mushrooms are isolated in glass containers. A magnifying glass focuses on the cap, which is irradiated by a laser beam. A camera, placed outside the container, films the scene and, using special software (written in Max / MSP and Jitter), several parameters are plotted, including the number of spores and the direction of their movement. These same parameters are transformed into input to drive (thanks to Arduino) musical instruments (a mini percussion section, some glasses etc.) created by Seznec using small solenoids. The viewer becomes aware, thanks to the sense of hearing, of the fall of the spores; and feels a childlike sense of wonder: we are like children who see a natural phenomenon for the first time.

Two fabric loops, driven by a motor divide space. At certain points there are light sensors installed to receive signals from the opacity of the textile, which get translated into audio signals.The musicality of the instrument can be experienced by sliding or positioning the sensor across the fabric tracks. It works as Mediaperformance as well as an interactive sound art installation.

Interacting with Flick Flock:
As soon as the body starts to move in the space, changes in the urban place take place. There are different potential changes that may take place (one at a time or simultaneously): (1) User is moving freely (i.e. the position of the hands and head are continuously moving in space wider apart from each other or in a certain direction) triggers the camera movement/panning and the lighting or changes of scene in the virtual environment (2) Within the flickering bubbles displayed in the sky, video captures of previous interactions from different people or the current user him/herself are displayed. These video captures try to play as much similar or opposed movement as possible from the pool of captured video. (3) The panning of the sound is also influenced by the movement of the body (e.g. movement to the left triggers a sound on the left speaker).

Inspired by Littlescales Toriton this is a tryout with an ldr into PD via Arduino. The values coming into PD are looking up positions in a table containing notes (In this case an arpeggio over a few octaves) to add some musicality.

Občan K. / Citizen K. / Der Bürger K. from Občan K. on Vimeo.
Prague – Czech art pranksters, whose Ztohoven art collective gained international notoriety for implanting images of a fictional atomic blast on live television, face legal action for their latest prank.
Police on Friday launched an investigation into the group’s latest project, during which 12 guerrilla artists lived for months under each other’s identity.
The action aimed to draw the attention to the omnipresent Big-Brother-like control of the public by authorities.
The artists applied for new identity cards with computer-altered photographs that combined features of two members of the group – the man who would use the card and the man in whose name it was issued.
A video on their web site shows that they used the fake identity to get married, travel abroad and even vote in the Czech Republic’s May 28-29 general election.

OUR FAVORITE THINGS is a new DVD/CD release from reigning Kulture Kut-up Kings Negativland. Twenty-seven years of the group's "greatest hits" have become all-new moving pictures in this amazing, years-in-the-making package. Created with 18 other filmmakers from all over the USA (and one a capella group from Detroit), OUR FAVORITE THINGS is a collaborative project that takes Negativland's sound explorations into the world of film and video. What emerges is a darkly cracked look at 21st century America, juxtaposing paranoia, torture, control, power, weapons, fear, suicide, cola wars, mental illness, and intellectual property issues with the lighter side of dopey advertising, cartoon characters, cleaning products and Jesus.
The OUR FAVORITE THINGS DVD includes over 60 minutes of never-before-seen bonus material, and, for those who would rather shut their eyes tight and just listen, it also comes with a full-length CD which isn't by Negativland at all: "180 DGs TO THE FUTURE!" by the Gospel R & B Doo-Wop group, The 180-Gs. You'll be all ears as this talented posse from inner Detroit sings out heavenly cover versions of Negativland's best (and least) known cut-up collage work from throughout their career, making for one of the strangest recordings you have ever heard.
