Message-ID: Dorkbot#2 (www.dorkbot.org/dorkbotsthlm) May 19, 2005 at 19.00 CRAC ?s?gatan 176 After the success of dorkbot#1 we have put together a sparkling program for the sequel! We proudly present: Leo Parden Brimberg and Roberto N Peyre: The artist Roberto N-Peyre and sound engineer/musician Leo Parden Brimberg will present and dicuss their collaboration "Projekt O" at Dorkbot-sthlm the 19th of May. "Projekt O" is an installation work in progress. The work is based on the sculptural idea of sound/air, heat/light rhytmically carrying smoke (material) through a hole, thus creating visible enlightened thermodynamic flows in a dark room. The construct works much like and is inspired by a vulcano or an oceanic vent. The work bridges stage magic, parapsychological phenomena, alchemical processes and modern sound technology. Sachiko Hayashi: Sachiko Hayashi is a new media artist, working primarily with net art and video. Her works consistently aim to integrate use of digital technology and aesthetic/conceptual/social discourses. Born and raised in Tokyo and currently resident in Sweden, Hayashi's works have been shown at various International new media art festivals. For a Dorkbot-sthlm meeting she will be talking about her net art Trapped and her latest video "boop-oop-a-doop," which are considered to be representative of her works. Trapped (net art, www.e-garde.net/trapped, shockwave) takes us through a journey into the human psyche where we are confronted with our own responses to its enigma. "boop-oop-a-doop"(video) investigates into her own observation over the creation of identity in our highly developed media society. "boop-oop-a-doop" was created by using such historical video synthesizers as Paik/Abe wobulator and Jone's Colorizer at the Experimental Television Center in New York. The arrangement is free and everybody is more than welcome! We're looking forward to see you!
