The Kingdom of Rebel

Many have taken a utopian view

of the deterritorialization of music

production, as it reterritorialized in

home studios or bedroom labs.

As well as the evidence of Aphex

Twin, Squarepusher and a good

proportion of those involved in the

nebulous genre electronica. Fete

dela WSKpraises the creativepotential of this underheard-of

autonomy. For the first time in history,

creative output and the means of its

distribution have been inextricably

linked. Along with the rhetoric of

freedom comes a puritanical praise

for self-teaching (diy), as techno-

autodidacts master new machinery,

software, concepts and

programming.

Electric Church

Electricity threatened music (let

alone trad. art) as purity of human

expression, and also of innate

'talent', as it first distanced the

musician from the sound, and

second, masked the inadequacies of

technique. Amplification takes over

from the human voice, or music as

expression of human feeling, emotionor subjectivity (often through

approximation of voice). What you

hear is revealed as electrically driven

movements of air; sound is

materialized, and becomes other to

the expressing body. Music is now

evidently prosthetic, mediated

through machinery, and this shakes

the belief in the centeredness,

intention and authenticity of musical

creation.

Surplus sound is a key

characteristic of electrified music,

and as the 1960s go on, distortion

and feedback, pushing the machinery

beyond limits, offers another layer of

noise that is both literal and noise in

the sense of being unwanted, excess,

waste. These noises are quickly

used, and become techniques, but

along the way, they operate as a way

of maintaining a community. We can

take "church" as meant in the most

general sense, as a way of capturing

an elective community that somehow

bonds together, in this case in

excessive performance.

OPEN:SHARING:POSTINGthe practice of diy [do it yourself] and diwo [do it with others] in subculture movement

their last projects under their 3 new platforms:

1. V.U.F.O.C an extraterrestrials study centre : Micronation/Macronation, an interactive art platform project produced for

democratizing food and energy.

2. HONFablab Digital Fabrication Lab: WIN+PLAY consists of a series of activities, which have commenced since April 2012.

In this competition, four teams that represent their respective university not only designed and produced a window display inaccordance to the stores brief, but also received workshops on idea exploration, design, entrepreneurship and product

finishing.

3. HONFactory Media Culture: ALT:US#1-4 is a project by HONFactory and initiated by Ican Harem and Gentur Suria. This

project aims to build a real communication in digital or analog way.

B) Marko Kosnik (b.July 1 1961, Kranj), one of the pioneers of European interactive communication projects, will talk about

his work. During the eighties he collaborated with several extreme alternative groups (Junajtit Adis, Laibach, Cavis Negra,

Most), primarily as a creator of concepts, scripts, music, video and ambient projects. Since the beginning of his collaborative

projects he was producing creative environments, open labs and media platforms, dealing with synchronization of authors

from different backgrounds and self organization. Crossing from acoustic studies of subterranean Karst to performances and

nstallations withsonorostatics (electro-acoustic plates) he entered performance with own productions of Egon March

Institute, and started building interactive environments in 1993. The circle of collaborators in his projects since 1991 has

been largely international; e.g., collaborations with Van Gogh TV, Universcity TV, and STEIM. He held numerous

performances, lectures and workshop tutorships (MUU, Architonomy, Media Feedback) around Europe, and has initiated

educative media environments (Ministry of Experiment).

"Chias artistic identity

is one that defies the

artificial borders and

boundaries of the modern

nation state. Going beyond

the notion of the individual

simply as a constituent of a

nation and its projected

cultural identity, (s)he

bypasses the need for

mass appeal or approval

and instead subscribes to

the independent nature thatcharacterises folk the

resistance to a canon.

June Yap, The WIRE

My recent researches

have been focused a lot on

relationships between

spirits and sounds, music

and trance, shamanism and

dance. For such

experiences i

obviously looked

deep into

traditional music,

old rituals and

uses of music to

transfigure the

body to some

other extents. Its

quite fascinating

that such a

person like Marc,

who is involving

himself so much

in very

advanced

technology,

could recall such ancient

approaches to music.

From this film made with

him in Singapore, my ideas

about bridges betweentechnology and spirituality

went further. What i had

developed personally for a

few years, this intuition that

the ultimate goal of

technology in our age is to

help us to reconnect with

our own blood, he was

personifying it in the most

incredible way.

Vincent Moon

Marko Kosnik will

present the artistic and

political journey of a

platform that he has been

running since the late 80s.

He started his carrier in

80's as cofounder of

Laibach, writing concepts

as well for the groups

Junajtit Adis, Cavis Negra,

and Most. In 1986 he

founded the Egon March

Institute, a creative unit for

theory, research and

production in the field of

new media; it was in this

framework that he realized

the bulk of his projects

during the nineties.

Since 1991 he has

been engaged in corporate

interdisciplinary

productions, performances

and installations, which

combine directing,

programming of interactive

systems, synchronization

and transmission via the

Internet. He held numerous

performances, lectures and

workshop tutorships (MUU,

Architonomy, Media

Feedback) around Europe,

and has initiated educative

media environments

(Ministry of Experiment).He is one of the

pioneers of European

interactive communication

projects.
