Jochem Paap & Scott Pagano - Umfeld

Just recently discovered, Umfeld, Jochem Paap (aka Speedy J) and Scott Pagano's 2007 audiovisual DVD release. Fragmented industrial cityscapes, organic electronics and hypnotic strobes combine with abstract soundscapes and warped beats. Fantastic stuff, overwhelming visual density, similar to Kuvaputki. Download the FREE full-res version at www.umfeld.tv

The Soft Moon

Bio:
Raised under the burning sun of the Mojave desert, Vasquez channels both his punk upbringing and Afro-Cuban heritage to sculpt decidedly dystopian soundscapes for a new generation of torn romantics. It’s a record set somewhere in the near post-apocalypse where technology enchants as much as it destroys.

Experimental Television Centre

The Experimental Television Center was a video art production studio in Owego, New York. Since its foundation in 1971, the center has been instrumental to the field of video art by providing artists with the tools of video art production through artist residencies and grants. The studio is designed to simultaneously facilitate both live studio performance and live video editing, much like a broadcast television studio. The studio was founded in 1971 as an outgrowth of a media access program established by Ralph Hocking at Binghamton University in 1969. Today the studio is affiliated with Alfred University's media arts program, with which it shares instructors. The Center provides support and services to the video art community by offering artist residencies to established and emerging video artists as well as an annual international student artist residency each summer.

The studio includes several invaluable and/or one of a kind pieces of video processing equipment, such as a custom Dave Jones Colorizer, a Design Lab Frame Buffer, a Deupfer Synthesizer, a Dave Jones custom 8 Channel Video Sequencer, the Paik/Abe Raster Synthesizer or 'Wobbulator' and a custom Dan Sandin Sandin Image Processor. Some notable artists who have held residencies at the center are Nam June Paik, Steina and Woody Vasulka, Gary Hill, Marisa Olson, Kristin Lucas, Torsten Zenas Burns, Barbara Hammer, LoVid, and Dearraindrop. The Center has announced via its website that it is closing most of its programs, including the studio, as of July 2011.

An anniversary DVD compilation For it's 40th year anniversary ETC started to produce a DVD compilation of a selection of artists who had created video art during ETC residencies over the course of 40 solid years. This enormous undertaking required digital restorations, and took three years, resulting in a 20 hour compilation of over 100 artists. Digitizing, restorations, and overall support: Bill Seery and Maria Venuto and Standby program Project manager and DVD author: Aaron Miller. Art director: Diane Bertolo The DVD is accompanied with a 130-page catalog and is distributed by EAI

Scott Draves - Electric Sheep

The Electric Sheep is a cyborg mind. It harnesses the collective intelligence of 450,000 computers and people creates abstract art with mathematics and Darwinian evolution. The result is seamless, organic, and infinite. See see electricsheep.org and scottdraves.com.

Draw Down

DRAWDOWN is a single channel video piece directed by Phoenix Perry in collaboration with Arnold Steiner and sound by Brian Jackson (Infinite Volume) completed in 2004 for the Reline DVD compilation.

Drawdown: the process by which the dominant species in an ecosystem uses up the surrounding resources faster than they can be replaced. Drawdown explores the relationship between man, machine, environment and the culture of greed in the world. Looking at the body as both a polluted system and a vehicle for enlightenment, we see the human form as an evolving machine empty of meaning in and of itself. In this context, the delusions of ego and self-importance become clear.

Drawdown suggests we look beyond our own selfish desire to see the vast beauty and abundance of the world around us. As we look for the basic meaning of human existence amidst a technological culture, we must question if our technologies aid human evolution or accelerates the process of extinction. The answer immediately reveals the state of the human consciousness each man crafts into the world.

Admx71 - Electric Deluxe podcast 043

Just got around to listening to this recently. Epic 2 and a half hour mix by Adam X, recorded for Electric Deluxe a few months back. It combines ambient electronica, minimal techno and classic industrial. Well worth listening to in its entirety. The Clock DVA track is especially brilliant.
