ABOUT
 
Audiovisual performances by:
 
MARCO ACCARDI, GESO
Moir.Al
We tend to think that our lives are driven by some kind of fate, and indeed they are, but not exactly what we have thought. There are a nature high-end design and a master plan, something we vaguely can see or understand, elaborated by a higher form of intelligence. We can’t say for sure if it’s the summum of a technologically advanced civilization, or an ancient and ethereal entity, like a God/ess. It gave us the concepts of time and space, and along with that the arts related to them, such as music and visual art. Through them, we pay tribute and decipher its mystery.

GESO
… artistic alias from Pablo IA (Pablo Iglesias Algora, Madrid 1977), is a Berlin based visual artist, who has been working as graphic designer and art director (GeeOhDee), publisher and curator (Belio Magazine) and in the last years has developed his career as video artist. His works are usually a combination of glitches, light diffraction, geometric graphics, urban explorations and images inspired by landscapes and nature, a visual journey through images synthesized from reality in order to re-connect the viewer with a kind of collective memory.
 
Among a long list of visual performances, his work has been shown at galleries, festivals and exhibitions such as Piano Day (Waterford, 2018), Berlin Atonal (Berlin, 2014), Spektrum (Berlin, 2017), Adobe Creative Cloud Launch Event (Los Angeles, 2014), File Hipersonica (São Paulo 2013), Miscellanea Gallery (Barcelona, 2017), Krake Festival (Berlin, 2017, 2016, 2014 & 2013), Potenciadores de la Emoción (Granada, 2016), Berlin Art Week: Modernity (Berlin, 2016), In-sonora VIII edition (Madrid, 2016), Maschinenfest 2K15 (Oberhausen, 2015), Glitch – VJ Art at Bau Bau (Leipzig, 2015), Platoon Kunsthalle 2nd Anniversary (Berlin, 2014), Applied Sound Arts (Leipzig, 2013), We Love 8Bit Art Show (Berlin, 2013) and CutOut Fest (Queretaro 2012).

ASERET
… is a Sardinian project based in Berlin dedicated to Ambient-Drone Music as Composer and Live Performer. Aseret studied in Italy, where he made two Sound Installation and various Live electronics in the Conservatory of Sassari, Cagliari, Latina and Bolzano. The purpose of his works is to bring back to foreground the human value of each person, giving him, through the music, a chance to identify himself and reconsider his own spaces, in contrast with a world increasingly hectic.
 
//
 
OR SARFATI
… with a background of a developer, uses the world of visual art to create environments that are generated and evolved at the present moment. Using a particle system, these environments reacts to a changeable set of rules and can be designed or manipulated during a live performance. Each act is a mix of composition and improvisation giving a different result while keeping an organic sensation.
 
//
 
KRIS VANGO
…explaining his approach to music as “an emotional purge and an exploration into the realms of the universal soul”, producer/visual artist Kris Vango brings together dark fragmented sounds from the techno underground with an ambient space of hope and utopia. Born and raised in Australia, the roots of Vango’s music echo the countries expansive and dramatic landscapes, mirrored against the dark hedonistic shadow-side of the underground club scene of Berlin, where he has been living for the past 4 years. It is Vango’s belief that our sense of existence is interpreted through systems created by our varying global cultures, religions and stories of the universe, he believes the keys to unlocking our human potential are in the overlapping patterns of ancient theories and systems – and reinterpreting them into our modern intellectual observations of the physical world of science and quantum physics. It is this relationship between the physical and non physical aspects of our conscious life on earth that he finds most interesting. His soundscapes reflect and explore these patterns, symbols and systems through the universal language of emotions; art and frequencies. It is the research of these explorations that are expressed through music, inviting the listener to discover aspects of themselves by using sound and music frequencies to interpret the stories of ancient systems, ideologies and systems.

SPHERICAL ABERRATION
… Ioana Bilea is an environmental scientist/artist, from Brasov, Romania currently living in Berlin, creating audio-visual works with ecological background.

Risk Element: Selected Films by Vivienne Dick and Artist Talk
 
With an introduction by Itty Minchesta
 
//
 
ABOUT
  
RISK ELEMENT: VIVIENNE DICK
Selected Films 1979 – 2017 and artist talk
Vivienne Dick describes her filmmaking as ‘quite loose’ in her method – she is always leaving the door open for chance, ‘allowing things to happen’ and embracing an ‘risk element’ or even ‘vulnerability’. She achieves this by not working with a script, nevertheless rigorously plans the process and has clear ideas that she wants to explore while leaving enough space and time to ensure that something unexpected can enter. She also often works collectively, approaching the film in a collaborative way and invites those she is working with to participate. As she is interested in the different ways people present themselves to the camera and how this can shift within the shot (a vulnerability exposed or an internal focus, a performing of what someone wants to project) many of her films are also portraits of people and everyday life and their relationships to their environment and are almost documentary. At the same time s she uses highly artificial lightning, strong colour, costumes and a fixed camera. There are sudden jumps to different situations, different places, different times.
 
“I feel like we have to do a whole lot of these films, because this is, I want this to be my show. I want… I want everything I say to keep. Like my whole life now is trying to just talk, I just want to talk and get up on a stage and just talk and that’s my show. I want to take photographs too. I want people to take all these chances…”
 
(Beate Nilsen in Guerrillère Talks)
 
//
 
Guerillère Talks, USA, 1978, 25 Min., OV, DVD, Regie: Vivienne Dick, mit:  Adele Bertei, Nina Canal, Lydia Lunch, Ikue Mori, Beate Nilsen, Anya Phillips, Pat Place
 
3 ½ minutes of real time for each (No-Wave) protagonist, each woman, each performance, each self-presentation, each interaction with the camera and her being rather ‘partner in crime’ than voyeuristic.
 
“Dick’s first film consists of eight unedited rolls of super-8 sound footage (…) by juxtaposing various examples of female self-definition against the backdrop of a decaying social order, the film is also the rehearsal and paradigm for Dick’s subsequent work.” –Jim Hoberman, October issue 20, Spring 1982
 
Like Dawn to Dust, USA 1983, 7 Min., OV, DVD, Regie: Vivienne Dick, mit Lydia Lunch
Lydia Lunch in an Irish bog, lamentating the difficulties of human interactions.
 
The Irreducible Difference of the Other, 2013, 27 Min., HDV,  D: V. Dick, with Olwen Fouéré
‘A mouthful of a title’ as V.Dick calls it in her own words, this film examines a world orientated towards war, terror, and consumption with Franco-Irish actress Olwen Fouéré inhabiting the two personas of Antonin Artaud and Russian poet Anna Akhmatova. In referencing key historical moments, such as mass marches against  the Iraq war, the Arab Spring and recent anti- austerity protests, the film proclaims the desire a more balanced world, which might  lead to a renewal of relationship on both a personal and global level.
 
Red Moon Rising, 15 mins,  2015, 15 Min., HDV,  D: V. Dick
Female performers engage in movement and voice improvisations that move beyond conventional rules of communication, and question the validity of language as an adequate carrier of experience. Nature appears sublime, and delicate black and white imagery rhythmically punctuates wildly-lit coloured settings (immablog.org).
 
A celebration of the carnivalesque, through dance, performance and the spoken word. A red moon is both a beacon, and a warning!!

VIVIENNE DICK
… was born in Donegal in 1950 and studied at University College, Dublin. Between 1977 – 1982 she lived in New York, part of a group of filmmakers whose affiliation to the music and aesthetic of punk became known as ‘New Wave’. Working mainly on Super 8, Dick’s films from this period feature many musicians from the punk movement in NY with performances and music from Lydia Lunch, James Chance, Pat Place, Adele Bertei, and Ikue Mori. Dick returned to Ireland in 1982 and then to London in 1985, where she was a member of The London Filmmakers Coop for many years and produced a number of films in 16mm, and in video. Her films have been screened at cinemas, museums and film festivals internationally, including Tate Britain, Moma and the Whitney in New York, IMMA in Dublin, and the Edinburgh and Berlin Film Festivals. She lives in Dublin, Ireland, and continues to make films. Her films are distributed via lux.org.

DANIEL BLUMBERG [Mute Records, UK]
Over the past decade Daniel Blumberg has released an extensive catalogue of music under different names (Yuck, Hebronix), while forging ongoing collaborations with musicians, writers and filmmakers such as Neil Hagerty, David Toop, Low, Silver Jews, Lambchop, Jad Fair and Brady Corbet. He is a prolific visual artist, described by Hans Ulrich Obrist as “one of London’s most exciting emerging new artists”. Most recently Blumberg has been playing and recording at London’s Cafe Oto, working intensively with a core group of improvisers consisting of violinist Billy Steiger, saxophonist Seymour Wright, double bassist Tom Wheatley and cellist Ute Kanngiesser.
 
These regular sessions have culminated in the release of his debut eponymous record Minus on Mute Records (May 2018). Minus is a powerful and highly personal work, one that weds a free-music ethos to the rawest emotional songwriting. Live the material is radically reimagined from show to show, with a rotating cast of players pushing Blumberg’s fragile songforms to their limits.

For the first edition of SKY WALKING LABORATORY at ACUD MACHT NEU we are overjoyed to present an incredible evening of concerts:
 
After their amazing Tony Conrad tribute show at Kampnagel Hamburg earlier this year, PNIN aka Nika Son, Phillip Sollmann and Joachim Schütz, will play an intro drone concert featuring the hurdy gurdy, a guitar and synths to be followed by the exceptional NIKA SON (Next Time, Golden Pudel Club). KONRAD SPRENGER, who just released his album “Stack Music” on PAN, will present his midified robotic guitar on a six-channel loudspeaker system. MO CHAN aka Aiko Okamoto will accompany the shows with a selection of Japanese Extravaganza and Queer Electronics.
 
Be invited to a wonderful evening of spontaneous music, exciting sound and fantastic artists!

Anlässlich der ersten Veranstaltung der neuen SKY WALKING LABORATORY Reihe im Berliner ACUD CLUB erzeugt KONRAD SPRENGER mit seiner robotisch gesteuerten E-Gitarre kaleidoskopische Klangteppiche auf einem 6 Punkt Amplifier System. Nach ihrem Debut anlässlich eines Tony Conrad Tributs in Hamburgs Kampnagel Fabrik, spielt die Formation PNIN aka Nika Son (Synthesizer), Phillip Sollmann (Hurdy Gurdy) und Joachim Schütz (Amplified Guitar) ein Drone Konzert, das nahtlos in das Set von NIKA SON überleitet, die ihre skulpturalen Tape-, Synth- und Sprachmodulationen präsentiert. Die aus Kyoto stammende AIKO AKAMOTO aka DJ MO CHAN begleitet die Konzerte mit einem Mix aus queeren Sounds und japanischer Extravaganza.

ABOUT
 
KONRAD SPRENGER [Pan]
Jörg Hiller alias Konrad Sprenger ist neben seiner Zusammenarbeit mit Ellen Fullman, Arnold Dreyblatt, Oren Ambarchi und Jim O’Rourke wohl am bekanntesten für seine midifizierte sich selbst spielende Gitarre, aus der er ungehörte Klangteppiche und Rythmen live kreiert und durch den Raum – konzipiert für ein 6- Punkt Lautsprechersystem. Neben Veröffentlichungen auf seinem eigenen Label Choose ist im letzten Jahr auf PAN sein Album Stack Music entstanden. Konrad Sprenger tourte zuletzt mit Jim O’Rourke und Arnold Dreyblatt in Japan, und solo in Italien, wo er eng mit den Produzenten des Labels für Neue Musil Die Schachtel zusammenarbeitete. Die Kollaboration mit Sky Walking begann mit einem Beitrag für die erste Label Compilation 41’39 und der Installation eines modularen Orgel Prototyps zusammen mit Phillip Sollmann, ausgestellt in der Kestnergesellschaft Hannover und Mathew Gallery Berlin.
 
//
 
NIKA SON [Golden Pudel Club]
Als Veranstalterin der Reihe Next Time und innovative Musikerin, widmet sie sich Nika Son der Suche nach aussergewöhlichen Klängen und Entdeckungen neuer und alter Technologien. In ihren Live Shows kommunizieren analoge Synthesizer mit manipulierten Bandmaschinen, filmische Klänge werden in eine ganz aussergewöhnliche Klangsprache übertragen, als betrachte man das Gehörte. Nika Breithaupt war unter anderem zu Gast bei Blurred Edges Hamburg, dem Meakusma Festival, Klub Katarakt (Kampnagel, Hamburg), dem internationalen Festival für experimentelle Musik Kampnagel Hambur. Sie kollaborierte unter anderem mit dem Ensemble Resonanz und dem Elektronik Musiker FX.

Zuletzt war Okamoto in Kassel für die künstlerische Leitung des Projekt Raums Narrowcast House und das damit verbundene Kulturradio anlässlich der Documenta 14 mitverantwortlich. Okamoto alias Mo-Chan verbindet als Dj einen Mix aus neuen, provokativen Produktionen mit der in Berlin bisher kaum aufzufindenden Subkultur des J-Pop, japanischer Extravaganza und Experimentalmusik. Sie ist zudem häufig als Gast und Initiatorin bei Podiumsgesprächen zum Thema Experimentelle Musik und Feminismus anzufinden.
