On 15th of Jan. Shintaro Miyazaki and Martin Howse had a conversation over skype, which was broadcast live on radio reboot.fm. Since live broadcasting is kind of full of unexpected things, which are sometimes funny, sometimes also a bit embarrassing I made a edited version of a recording of the live show.
On friday the 3rd of Febr. Shintaro will as well speak about Algorhythmic Catastrophes 2010|1990 at transmediale resource market. More infos here.
Much happend in the past months. Some new documentation material on algoRhythmic Sorting our epistemic software and computer music generator will be released soon. Shintaro started his residency fellowship at Akademie Schloss Solitude. From him we can as well expect a paper on the early computer music history. And guess what it will be about algorhythmics!! Here is a recording of some preview he gave on a symposium mentioned earlier (the talk about the early computer music is around -19:12 or 03:13.
Jussi Parikka mentioned the Institute for Algorhythmics in his keynote about “The Aesthetico-Technical Rhythm” at the Symposium: Rhythm & Event, Saturday 29 October 2011 at King’s Anatomy Theatre & Museum, King’s College London organized by Kingston University London (London Graduate School). Here is an abstract of the paper he gave.
Friedrich Kittler (1943-2011) died yesterday 18th of October in Berlin. Rest in peace dear great master. Jussi wrote an excellent text. Google will help to find more documents.
After a long break some news: Shintaro Miyazaki will take part at ISEA 2011 in Istanbul at a panel called “Matter with Media“. As well he contributed an essay for “Volume 28 – The Internet of Things” published by Archis, Amo and C-lab (p. 14-15). It was written for designers, architects and other “creatives” and is anything but an academic paper. There are no references and its style is very polemic. You can read a revised version by clicking..
Our little software AlgorhythmicSorting was redesigned and released also on windows. We changed the visualization, since we became aware, that not only the sounds, but also the visuals (diagrams) are important. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome. Click here for more.
The last two months were very quite busy for Institute for Algorhythmics. M.C and S.M were in Japan. Unfortunatley not together although. Michael Chinen played on the 15th of Sept. at “Berlin Night” in “Le Weekend” (Matsuyama, Japan), presented some of his works at SMRL, Tokyo Denki University, Sept. 7 and at CCA, Kita-kyushu, September 20. Shintaro Miyazaki had two gigs in Japan (26th of Sept. Itoshimacity, Studio Kura and 12th of Oct. Tokyo, Super-Deluxe). Akitoshi Honda had a (more…)
The summer is almost over in Berlin, but we were quite active these days. Shintaro Miyazaki went to Bisaccia, Italy (see pics above) to present Detektors, a project in collaboration with Martin Howse and which will be presented again at ISEA 2010 in Dortmund. Right after that the whole Institute presented for the first time together their works at a Festival called S.low. And on the 1st of August, Shintaro started a new open academic talk series called: “Oscillation Series. Sonic Theory and Practices”.
Institute for Algorhythmics will take part at Interferenze 2010 in Bisaccia (23.7-25.7) with a talk/presentation and with a performance. The performance is planned to be a session using coils and HF-detectors to sonify unhearable electromagnetic waves of our electronic devices (mobile phone, computer, camera, pocket translator), but also of our invisible infoscape (wifi, UMTS, GSM, bluetooth). The talk with the title “Transsonic Infoscapes” will explain the theoretical concepts behind the artistic practice. More here.
