SKY exhibits at the NUS Arts Festival 09 (27 Feb to 15 March 09) University Cultural Centre, Singapore

2009-03-05T21:50:00.000-08:00

Live feeds of Singaporean and Southern California skyscapes transmitted from urban and natural locations are projected and juxtaposed. The viewer is reminded that land and topography are physically fixed and locationally restricted; yet, landscapes constantly and fluidly relocate due to the earth’s rotation within space. On the other hand, the sky, though fixed, contains skyscapes that relocate within itself. The sky is the endpoint of most emanations such as sound and scent. It is the interface between cosmos and chaos and the point of connection between separated people(s).

Projection of SKY at University Cultural Centre (California on left, Singapore on right)

The suggestive calligraphics of clouds evoke responses that are as much personal figurations as they are literal perceptions. In response, doilies, arch-americana and decorative artifacts of bourgeois interior -design -scapes, are arranged into the Chinese ideogram representing sky, creating a bridge between distant cultures, landscapes and histories as well threading lives, both urban and natural.

Sound Gardeners and Pollinators

2009-02-22T22:29:00.000-08:00

Welcome to Sonverbatory!

Sound Gardener responsibilities are as follows:

Add initial bloomscape to Boom Blooms (see links to mp3s below.)
Operation and upkeep of the Boom Blooms. This entails starting the players in the morning, stopping the players in the evening, changing batteries, replacing mp3 players if they malfunction etc...
Pollinator submission management. Each submission should be auditioned to insure that it meets the guidelines below. One submission should be added to no more that six Boom Blooms. The submission mp3s should be added to each Boom Bloom's initial bloomscape. The hope is that, eventually, each bloomscape will grow to several hours of audio.

Pollinator Guidelines (Sound Gardener is free to pollinate as well):
MLuM will post audio samples [by sound category, refer below] on the blog, as a podcast. Students and artists are invited to download and manipulate the samples and then send them back to be added to the Boom Blooms (they may also incorporate sounds gathered from field recordings.) The samples can either be downloaded using the links on the blog, or by subscribing to the podcast using programs such as iTunes or Google Reader. Use the following link to subscribe: http://SonVerbatory.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
Pollinators are permitted, for purposes of hybidization, to mix categories.

When submitting processed sound samples, please follow the guidelines below:

Audio is to be harmonious and low-grade.

Treat the stereo channels as two independent mono channels.
The right speaker will be located in the bloom and the left speaker in
the pot.

Render the files in mp3-128kb/s format (length between one and ten
minutes.)

File may be delivered via email using a service such as
yousendit.com. (mp3s sent as attachments will not be accepted)
Contributors may also email us links to their audio files.
