Globa l echoes and local resonances

\n

In this workshop artist s Jamie Allen and Bernhard Garnicnig will lead explorations in the acoustic potentials of the physical and networked spaces where we spend our days.\n

Networks\, whatever else they are\, are sites of rhythmic\, pulsatin g transfer and reception of signals. These networks have resolutely become the material ‘spaces’ where lives are lead\, work gets done and social stru ctures emerge. Although informed by the mechanics and material-genealogies of sound making and formats for sound-packaging\, the world wide web remain s a “space” without acoustics.

\n

As a material history\, we might con sider the first use of terms such as “channel” to describe audio routing in the acoustic panopticon designs of Athanasius Kircher. As a contemporary e nvironment\, we might consider the internet as an incompletely realized and experienced space\, with an unrealized sonic potential. Sound is architect ure\, the internet a space - the audible can help us understand these new s paces.

\n

We liken network systems to an acoustic environment\, comple xes of echoes bouncing and re-bounding from transmitter to receiver and bac k again. At either end of this confluence\, exists a physical end-point\, c onceived and actualized variously as a data-structure\, a terminal\, a node or a human being. These dynamics are afforded through the matter of a netw ork.

Bernhard Garnicnig makes projec ts in a field circumscribed by art\, spaces\, sound and technology. In his research-based practice he establishes networked\, social\, institutional\, conceptual\, technological\, sculptural and audiovisual space-time constel lations. These can be observed in physical exhibitions\, workshops\, perfor mances and on the internet. He recently founded the “Agentur für Agency” an d the “Office for Applied Futurology”. He holds a MA in Digital Arts from t he University for Applied Arts Vienna (Prof.Peter Weibel). Further studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and Piet Zwart Institute Rotterdam.
