    MSHR: Orbit Instantiator (Ellipses)

    MSHR: Orbit Instantiator (Ellipses)

    The object of the ellipse within science fiction offers numerous ways to reimagine temporarily outside of the confines of linear progress. In part two of ‘Ellipses: Returning to Time Knots and Techno Utopias’ we travel back to the techno-utopian ideas of the dot com boom of the early 1990s to explore the now fraught potential of constructions of digital space and generative music, and the hope that technological advancement could bring society closer to utopia.

    Brenna Murphy and Birch Cooper from MSHR talk through the influence of science fiction; using the webpage as an artistic platform; and the construction and interaction with generative systems.

    MSHR have created Orbit Instantiator, an epic and other-worldly hyperlink labyrinth where the reader can navigate sixteen rooms. Each room glimpses into an unknown world that fuses computer-generated music and digital sculpture together, and is responsive, morphing and shifting as the reader explores the webpage.

    MSHR is an art collective that builds and explores sculptural electronic systems. Their practice is a self-transforming entity with its outputs patched into its inputs, expressing its form through interactive installations, virtual environments and live improvisations. MSHR was established in 2011 in Portland, Oregon by Brenna Murphy and Birch Cooper. Their name is a modular acronym, designed to hold varied ideas over time.

    Coco Klockner: Short Ladder (Ellipses)

    Coco Klockner: Short Ladder (Ellipses)

    The object of the ellipse within science fiction offers numerous ways to reimagine temporarily outside of the confines of linear progress. In part two of ‘Ellipses: Returning to Time Knots and Techno Utopias’ we travel back to the techno-utopian ideas of the dot com boom of the early 1990s to explore the now fraught potential of constructions of digital space and generative music, and the hope that technological advancement could bring society closer to utopia.

    Coco Klockner talks through the permeation of finance into life; how media has changed how we present in the world; and the use of science fiction to communicate technology politics. Klockner’s playful and speculative short story and accompanying sonic work ‘Short Ladder’, follows protagonist Cat’s rollercoaster experience in the latest development in securities trading: Personal Initial Public Offering, in which investors buy shares in her.

    Coco Klockner is an artist and writer living in New York City. They are the author of the book K-Y (Genderfail, 2019) and have published writing with Montez Press, Real Life Magazine, Spike Art Magazine, and Burnaway.

    Christof Migone: You And I Are Water Earth Fire Air Of Life And Death (Machine Listening)

    Christof Migone: You And I Are Water Earth Fire Air Of Life And Death (Machine Listening)

    Selfless selves, linked Is, and not-Is. -I is the third in a series of twelve annual 12-hour events taking place on December 12, 2022. Each year the event moves through each word of the 12-word phrase 'you and I are water earth fire air of life and death' and activates the word of the year in a myriad of ways. 

    Christof Migone talks through the origins of his curatorial project You And I Are Water Earth Fire Air Of Life And Death; the contributions to this year's theme of I; and the use of time and mathematics to create structure within artistic practice.

    Christof Migone is an artist, teacher, curator, and writer often working with language, voice, bodies, performance, intimacy, complicity, and endurance.

    Liquid Architecture will present 'Ego Trip' by Machine Listening for this year's instalment of 'You And I Are Water Earth Fire Air Of Life And Death'. The video work was made following the announcement of Ego4d from Facebook AI in 2021. Ego4D is a dataset, an international research network coordinated by Meta, and a set of machine learning challenges to competitively answer the questions: “what did I do?”, “what am I doing now?”, and “what will I do next?” through the eyes and ears of an augmented human body. ‘Ego Trip’ extracts moments from an Ego4D promotional video and relentlessly recomposes them into new variations of their slogan-question, What if AI could understand your world through your eyes?

    Machine Listening is an investigation and experiment in collective learning instigated by Sean Dockray, James Parker, and Joel Stern. The project takes numerous forms including collaborative research, resource sharing, curation, publishing and artistic production.

    Senyawa (Ritual Community Music)

    Senyawa (Ritual Community Music)

    Folk, Noise, Electronics, Improvisation – how can radical music help us manifest new possibilities for thinking and imagine new ways of organising community through ritual behaviours, actions and languages?

    Rully and Wukir of Senyawa talk through the stories, languages and sounds explored through their collaboration; the power of music performance and distribution to form social connection; and what to expect from their upcoming shows for Liquid Architecture and Soft Centre.

    Senyawa are a seminal outfit in Indonesia’s thriving avant-garde music scene having navigated unexplored musical terrain for more than a decade. The duo have developed a hybrid sound, that weaves the tribal and primitive with industrial timbres and folkloric storytelling. Their sound is comprised of Rully Shabara’s deft extended vocal explorations punctuating the frenetic sounds of Wukir Suryadi’s self-built instrumentation. During the pandemic, Senyawa released the new album 'Alkisah' with over 40 labels around the world.

    Jasmin Wing-Yin Leung (Ritual Community Music)

    Folk, Noise, Electronics, Improvisation – how can radical music help us manifest new possibilities for thinking and imagine new ways of organising community through ritual behaviours, actions and languages?

    Jasmin Wing-Lin Leung talks through her connection with the Erhu; her compositional practice of working with room resonance; and what to expect from her upcoming performance for Liquid Architecture’s Ritual Community Music series.

    Jasmin Wing-Yin Leung works with the Erhu within composition, improvisation and installation settings. She is interested in the sonic possibilities of resonance, intonation, hauntings and the environment.
