*V2_ Presents:
TEST_LAB: AUDIO_OBJECTS

Thursday October 18, 2007, 20.00h Eendrachtsstraat 10 Rotterdam. *

/Test_Lab is a bimonthly public event, organised by V2_, Institute for 
the Unstable Media, that provides an informal setting for the 
demonstration, testing, presentation, and discussion of artistic 
Research and Development (aRt&D). /

In today's field of audio performances and live art a return can be 
observed from laptop performances (as became common during the last 
decade) to physical instruments. The commonly used low-interaction 
playback methods and relatively introverted process of laptop concerts 
is now often replaced by physically more interactive and daring 
performance elements^1) , providing visually more attractive performances.

In this edition of Test_Lab we investigate, experience, and test new 
ideas, prototypes, and products for the physical manipulation of 
(digital) sound created by audio developers. Besides discussing how 
these technologies make live performances livelier and more visually 
attractive, we'll also explore the effects of these new physical audio 
interfaces on contemporary music and sound art. In Test_Lab: 
Audio_Objects, some of the most promising new physical audio interfaces 
will be demonstrated, tested, and discussed among experts and audience.

/Featuring: Kim Cascone and the AudioCubes workshop participants, Bert 
Schiettecatte, Gijs Gieskes, Michel Waisvisz, Edwin van der Heide, 
Brigit Lichtenegger (aka Evo Szuyuan) and Annabeth Robinson (as 
AngryBeth Shortbread).

/Special thanks to Sugar Seville and Maximillian Nakamura (Shintaro 
Myazaki) for hosting the event at the Rhizometic Dorkbot Office at 
Odyssey, a simulator in Second Life dedicated to art and performance./

_1) The desire to integrate visual and auditive elements in performances 
can be traced back to the pioneering work of Dick Raaijmakers, who 
thoroughly investigated the integration of visual and auditive elements 
in performances. V2_ publishing will publish a book describing the 
complete works of Dick Raaijmakers in December 2007 (see 
www.dickraaijmakers.nl).
