Shintaro Miyazaki (Founder of Institute for Algorhythmics: Concepts & Direction) will talk on the 9th of March in Newcastle (UK) at “Creative Digital Media Research Practice: Production Through Exhibition” in New Castle. Title: Sonic Media Archeology and DIY-Practice. More here.

Due to the lack of attention we announce a finnisage of our little exhibition called “ubiquitous oscillations² or about rhythmic structures of media”. Date: Sunday 7th of Feb. from 1900 (7pm) until 2200.

There will be a performace: “AlgoRHYTHMIC Noise of our Everyday Gadgets” by Michael Chinen & Shintaro Miyazaki. It will be about the diverse sonic archeologies of our digital gadgets (either from the software side (Michael) or from the hardware side (Shintaro). Dont miss!

Place is here. Schönhauser Allee 167c, Berlin. Take U2, get off at “Senefelder Platz” north exit. Walk on the left side past the building site and see old house with white fluorescent lamp, which says “GENERAL PUBLIC”.

Tomorrow is the opening of the exhibition “ubiquitous oscillations² or about rhythmic structures of media” where Institute for Algorhythmics shows a new work called “2nd Order Diatoms”. Yesterday we finished the black box. Have a look. More impressions will follow after the opening tomorrow. Click more for pictures. More Infos about the project here. (more…)

We are preparing full power now the installation “2nd Order Diatoms” during CTM as a partner. Digging now with help of Michael Chinen and Akitoshi Honda into Random Walk, Modulo, C++, Servo Motors, Stochastics, Pitch Detection, Beat Detection etc. Team work is very efficient! Here is the press text. More news will follow. And apropos the project “Institute for Algorhythmics” got noticed.. At least a bit. Here (spanish) and Here (french).

First blog entry in the new decade! Video about some progress with the detektors project I am working on with Martin Howse.

Besides Akitoshi Honda our hardware guru we have now Michael Takezo Chinen, software and computer music specialist on board for the Institute for Algorhythmics. Michael orginally from Hawaii with japanese roots, studied Composition&Computer Science at University of Washington in Seattle, Electro-Acoustic Music in Dartmouth College and was Research Student at Tokyo Denki University. Lately he moved to Berlin with the Fulbright Research Grant for Wavefield Synthesis at the Technische University Berlin. A starting point for our temporal research and art project… (more…)

I post here a link to an audio recording I made during “Alan N. Shapiro & Alexis Clancy on Tour: New Computer Science” a talk about visionary computer science and about what kind of mathematics and attitude is needed for being part of a new shift in computing. (more…)

And our exhibition in Utrecht and past exhibitions like “Ubiquitous Oscillations or Fourier changed our world“, “What about the Gibbs Phenomenon?“. Here the recording (next time I try to avoid “emm em..” and “genau”.. )

[Akitoshi Honda and me] + Wolfgang Spahn are participating at born digital 2009 at small festival with the motto berlin meet utrecht. Akitoshi and me are building now a laser installation with the working title “formed by ubiquitous waves or born digital?”. More infos will follow.

Preparing another presentation in Berlin, now for a workshop about “operative diagrammatic” at Humboldt University Berlin. Title (again only german..) : “Algorhythmik vs. Diagrammatik – wenn [Speicher]-Fläche in Zeit übergeht.”, 15th Oct. 2009
