Visualizing Theorem Exhibit Opening

'Visualizing Theorem' Exhibit Opening

Saturday April 2, 2011

4pm SLT

The creative forces of art, music and science collide in this new sim wide art exhibit at University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).  The installations are based on tracks from real life album ‘Theorem’ produced by Ulf Skogsbergh which is the result of online collaboration between ten musicians from social networking website-‘Indaba Music.’

Curated in Second Life ™  by conceptual artist, Misprint Thursday-this new exhibit brings together well respected virtual artists and features sixteen installations which are based on the science and math theories explored in the album.

In the exhibit, the work of the artists range from performance, to detailed steam punk style machines, interactive work, and minimal conceptual work. Each of the contributing artists selected a track from the album ‘Theorem’ to work from as their inspiration. The theories range from space-time, to special relativity, to genetic theory as well as some philosophy and computer programming ideas.

Visitors to the exhibit can view immersive art pieces; play tracks from ‘Theorem’ and listen to dream like soundscapes set at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) sim.

Wear the HUD provided in the invite object and at the exhibit landing point.  Use it for an easy tour of all builds or take the separate teleports located at each installation. Bring friends for a social experience, or relax to the superb music while travelling the whole sim solo.

AM Radio, Betty Tureaud, Binary Quandry, Blue Tsuki, Dekka Raymaker, Desdemona Enfield, Douglas Story, Formatting Heliosense, March Macbain, Miso Susanowa, Misprint Thursday, Oberon Onmura, , Penumbra Carter, Pinkpink Sorbet,  pixel Reanimator, Scarp Godenot, Sledge Roffo and Werner Kurosawa.

Split Screen Installation Space February Exhibition

Split Screen Installation North: Misprint Thursday

In an opening tomorrow, Misprint Thursday's latest exhibit will debut at Split Screen. The installation is titled, "White Shirt" and explores possibilities with the personification of a white shirt. The opening event begins with an event scheduled to begin at 2 pm PST/SLT.  In the notecard she sent me, she suggests that visitors use, "SL viewer 1.23 seems to be the most stable viewer for media at this time and I suggest this as the viewer to use in exploring this piece". The note card and instructions on how best to view the installation are available via a giver nearby to where one arrives at the site. "White Shirt" will be at Split Screen through the end of February.

Split Screen Installation South: oona Eiren

Also as part of the opening, oona Eiren exhibit, "Live!" will debut. The notecard I received when I visited the site said, "oona Eiren has created a retro-futuristic-grunge city/record player called "Live!", which incorporates a music stream and other sounds in the midst of old electronics". As noted above, instructions on how best to view the installation are available via a giver nearby to where one arrives at the site. "Live!" will be at Split Screen through the end of February.

Theorem-Album and Second Life Art

Collaborative Creativity Abounds on the Net

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Musicians collaborate remotely on the world’s first soundtrack to the sciences.

New York, New York (February 2011)

         A group of musicians from various countries have connected over the Internet to create quite possibly the world’s first soundtrack for "The Sciences". Working asynchronously by exchanging music files through a website called Indaba Music, they creatively explore such ideas as spacetime, abiogenesis, special relativity, celestial mechanics and more. The recording artists have never met in person, and for some it was the first time they worked together.

         The album, "Theorem, music inspired by the sciences" was produced by composer Ulf Skogsbergh and published on iTunes late January 2011. This unique project, co-composed with Wayne Kinos, was spurred by concepts of linking music to science and math theorems with a dash computer programming ideas and a bit of philosophy tossed in for good measure. When asked what motivated Ulf to turn this creative happening into a published album he responded: "The collaboration spawned so much great music it deserved to be put in front of listeners."

         The thought provoking and vibrant work defies strict classification, but its strongest fit is the illustrative qualities and the emotive sensibilities of a soundtrack. Alternatively, one could file the work under world music, when one hears the earthy and exotic tones of instruments like bouzouki, tzouras, oud, santoor and guzheng. No stranger to world music, or soundtracks, Ulf created original music for the film "Investigating Sex" by Alan Rudolph. In that soundtrack a rich combination of world music vibes lend to the sensual, mysterious and comical scenes at hand. But the music in "Theorem" is not limited to the genres of soundtrack or world music, as there are elements of ambient, electronic, progressive, jazz, rock, avant garde, new age and even classical mixed into this collection of work.

         The digital creativity of a global community does not stop there, however. One of the recording artists invited to participate in “Theorem,” Misprint Thursday, has started to organize a group show of art based on the album “Theorem.” Misprint shares: “It is exciting to me when creativity becomes a generative process.”  The exhibit, “Visualizing Theorem” will be installed on a digital simulator sponsored by the University of Texas at San Antonio and will open in late March, 2011.  Look to the theorem site http://www.musictheorem.com for updates and links.

         The music collaborators are: Ulf Skogsbergh, Wayne Kinos, Kevan Paul, Yeray N.S., Misprint Thursday, Kostas Trikalis, David Minnick, Dub Johnson, Jillian Star Bedrosian & Halo E. and the album can be listened to and purchased on their site http://www.musictheorem.com or through ITunes at http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/theorem-music- inspired-by/id417501967

"Paranormal Frottage" by Misprint Thursday Opens this Evening

I received the invitation when logging in and read it quickly."Paranormal Frottage" by Misprint Thursday opens on 10-November at 7 pm PST/SLT. At the first opportunity, I messaged her to thank and congratulate her on the event. She offered to port me over which I readily accepted. Arriving I saw she had been busily preparing for the festivities and was accompanied by Maya Paris who was there assisting.

Misprint Thursday: Hi Nazzzzz … How's Life in the Nazz Lane going.

Nazz Lane: Heya Mis … moving along at posted speeds.

Maya Paris: Hi Nazz:)

Misprint Thursday: Yes

Nazz Lane: Hey Maya :)

Misprint Thursday: Well don't get a ticket man … I hear they are brutal in SL

Misprint Thursday: So there is vid and sound here Nazz. Let me know if you get it … ok. The sound is in the video only.

Nazz Lane: I turned it on ... It sound is good.

Misprint Thursday: Thank you. It was an unexpected collaboration. I received the track in e-mail and wrote the song and sang it … sent it back. It worked out pretty well I think. I have another version as I was telling Maya.

Nazz Lane: On your site?

Misprint Thursday: Yes I have a link to it … you can listen to hear the difference

… http://www.indabamusic.com/sessions/ulf/551337#!/asset/show/1317217

Maya Paris: It's hypnotic and with no pun intended … haunting.

Misprint Thursday: the musician, Patrick LaJeunesse bowed the guitar actually to get some of those odd sounds and pounced the bow off the strings.

Nazz Lane: I'm listening now.

Maya Paris: I like a pounce

Nazz Lane: I like this version

Misprint Thursday: The one in SL, or the one in the link?

Nazz Lane: The link … its a bit clearer for me.

Misprint Thursday: Yes it was recorded in the studio … good ear. So I should have edited that into the video. I guess I could do that now.

Nazz Lane: It reminds me of something Irish ... a sadness

Misprint Thursday: Yes-sort of cowboy junky-ish sort of dirge-ish … but bearable.

Nazz Lane: Haunting

Misprint Thursday: It haunts me! Try writing it!

Nazz Lane: Are you still planning on a CD?

Misprint Thursday: Yes, I have a track on an amnesty international album and then lots others flung about cyberspace. But two albums in the mix.

Nazz Lane: Are you working with 4 Bridges here in SL?

[04:05 PM] Misprint Thursday: Actually not … It is a project called peace partners and there are three albums. I have a track on the 3rd album. Would you like a link?

Nazz Lane: Please

Misprint Thursday: http://www.amnistie.ca/site/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15091&Itemid=177 then the album is here

http://www.peace-partners.org/music/vision-of-peace/ and mine being the first track on that album. Pretty eclectic collections. Its been a great project I hope they do well.

With that we said our goodbyes and I ported out with plans to drop by later for the opening.

My Guest Appearance on Brooklyn is Watching Podcast

A few weeks ago, I had the honor and opportunity to join a stellar cast on the Brooklyn is Watching on the weekly Podcast. The podcast is hosted by Jay Newt and appearing on this episode are podcast regular Misprint Thursday and BiW artist Oberon Onmura. The venue is the BiW site in Second Life and the format is an open discussion on the art present. Great conversation and great art …

Enjoy a listen here or pick it up off iTunes … also, definitely stop over to see the art and meet some of Second Life's most intriguing people.
