Sound art festival
Bookings: http://factorytheatre.com.au
Website: http://SoundOfFailure.com
Following on from the (ironic) success of last year's festival, Sound of Failure 2008 brings together over forty local and international sound artists in numerous venues to surprise, shock and entertain. Many of these artists have attempted to transcend the small rectangular screens and the latest Microsoft releases, opting instead to look at unintended consequences of technology – when it misbehaves or just gives up the ghost.
Internationally renowned torturers of electronic toys, Toydeath, will unleash their circuit bent mayhem on the Factory Theatre along with 15 other acts (Book NOW: http://factorytheatre.com.au). Exhibition wise, Chrissie Cotter gallery in Camperdown will host a diverse range of audio, and audio-visual installations from over a dozen artists.
Wade Marynowsky's solo exhibition, 'Rococo Vortex', in the aptly titled Don't Look Gallery, as well as a spellbinding performance, 'Question/Answer… Interruption' at the snazzy new UTS performance space. Please see http://SoundOfFailure.com for a complete list of venues and details.
Performers include: Toy Death, Ian Andrews (album launch!), Starella, Est Et Non, Hiske with Phychic Date, Greg Chantonsky (Can), Tom Hall(Bris), Cleaning Lady (Vic), Samuel Bruce, Dianne's Dollhouse, Glenn Remington, Catfingers, Jessica Tyrell & Chris Caines, Lectre Macabre & Triangle, Peter Newman & Johnathon Hunter, DJ Olive, Panoptique Electrical, and Shannon O'Neill.

IMMERSION: ELECTRICAL EMPATHY
an exploration of the audiovisual subconscious
Developed over a one-week residency, Immersion brings together eight of Australia’s leading audiovisual artists to explore immersive techniques. Released from corporeal entertainment Immersion: electrical empathy will find a unity between space, sound & images creating a new performative experience that is sumptuous & saturating.
ARTISTS/PRODUCERS Samuel James & Gail Priest
COLLABORATORS Cicada (Nick Ritar, Kirsten Bradley), Scott Morrison, Peter
Newman, Jason Sweeney & Ai Yamamoto
Demux Launch, Performance Space, Carriage Works, 2nd March 2007.
Be immersed in a sea of analogue dreams turned digital nightmares as some of Sydney's hottest media artists perform new works. Relive these performance works through the free demux_sampler featuring short works from the artists, and stay tuned to demux.org for the first two releases by the label's visionaries Wade Marynowsky and Peter Newman.
In the work of Samuel Bruce, generative and emergent systems are controlled (or not) via game-pad versus computer. Wade Marynowsky’s deep digital signal processing coupled with fluid like video manipulations explore digital abstraction through virtually constructed nodes. Newman’s intensification of the cinematic experience highlights the power of the medium to transcend and immerse the viewer. Whilst Andrew Gadow sends synesthesic glitches spinning by abusing yesterday’s technology today. Cameron Foster will present an installation intersecting the foyer area for the evening, exploring audio – visual linkages through his own method of phasing.
Review here by Ann Finegan for loop magazine #3
Autonomous Improvisation v.1
Wade Marynowsky,
April - May 2007, Artspace Sydney
Autonomous Improvisation v1, installation shot, left to right, Reverend Kriss Hades, Singing Sadie, Trash Vaudeville.
Autonomous Improvisation v.1, is a video anthology of some
of Sydney’s most infamous solo musicians and performers. The work
analyses a range of performance approaches from burlesque to sound art by
recording artists in the same studio configuration. The performances happening
only for the camera are then reconfigured in the gallery. A prepared pianola
is linked to a network of computers and is programmed to orchestrate the
video sequences, creating an ever-changing composition. This is presented
via three-channels of audio–visual projection. Through non-determinist
re-composition, the work questions if it is possible for improvisation to
be programmed, or if this is simply a paradoxical endeavor. Furthermore
Autonomous improvisation v1 asks us to consider why autonomous systems are
uncanny and what is significant about the emergent patterns that arise within
these systems.

Paperhouse - Peter Newman
First Draft Gallery
---------------------------
Wednesday March 14 to Saturday March 31, 2007
Of rhythm is image;
Of image is knowing
And of knowing is a construct.
'Paperhouse' is an extension of composed sound and light into space; a poetical
exploration of dynamism and stasis inextricably interwoven. Through intentionally
blurred spatio-temporal relationships between visual, sonic and physical
elements, this piece works to illuminate an open-ended framework of potential
pathways for cerebral and visceral navigation or meditation. Caught in the
ebb and flow of serendipity and rupture, there is no clear destination;
the key lies in the mode and rhythm of travel.

Technè – Auxons
Andrew Gadow
First Draft Gallery
---------------------------
Wednesday January 31 to Saturday February 17, 2007
Technè – Auxons is a continuation of Andrew Gadow’s Technè series of work which explores the technologies involved in the representation of video and audio mediums. In his latest work Gadow has utilised significant, yet currently obsolete, consumer based esoterica in a contemporary setting. By using abstract video and audio signals produced and reproduced from within analog video and audio synthesisers. The technologies involved and the resulting work itself takes on an organic quality as a self producing/reproducing object.
