hello!earth- platform for various arts projects
Date: 03. September 04. September 06. September 07. September 08. September

A project, presented and produced for MYworld Images Festival, Copenhagen 2010.

“Walking together. Eating together. Resting together. Working together. This three week process of cross-pollination and collaboration of people and cultures raises nuanced questions about the individual and the collective. Of cultural contexts in a globalised earth, and the interplay of the imagined and the physical. It points at the fine balance between the cityscape and our bodies. Of arriving at doing without knowing, sometimes alone, sometimes together.”

A social experiment, serious research, virtual excursion. hello!earth's "1&1=1" is all that and more. Join the artists in a site-specific, performative journey into the now. The cast includes, apart from you of course, artists from Denmark, India, Brazil, and the Philippines. The scene is set at Vesterbro, Copenhagen and you will move through the city, individually or in smaller groups, on a walk that explores the potential of pure attention – attention towards your surroundings, yourself, and your fellow human beings. Join the walk and take part in creating a reality that goes far beyond the media-made reality, ideas and images we have about each other. Become part of the contemporary collective 1&1=1 that takes concepts like "us" and "them" and spins them around.

”The project involved artists from very different corners of this planet met in Copenhagen and the performance was developed in a collective process. Questions on the balance of individual and collective in different cultural contexts, how and when we perceive collective action and the interplay of imagined collective and physical presence were at the core of this process. In this performance we share this journey with you, the audience.”

Collaborating artists in 1&1= 1: Ana Paula Albe (Brazil, video artist www.anapaulaalbe.com), Ronaldo Ruiz (The Philippines, visual and performance artist, www.ronaldoruiz.multiply.com ), Archana Prasad (India, new media artist, www.archanaprasad.com ), Vera Maeder (DK, theatre director and choreographer, www.helloearth.cc), Jacob Langaa Sennek (visual design and director, www.helloearth.cc).

ASEUM: The 1st International New Media Art Festival in the Philippines

On July 21-25, 2009, SABAW Media Art Kitchen (Philippines) in cooperation with KIBLA MMC (Slovenia) and the Asia-Europe Foundation brings together the largest delegation of new media artists for ASEUM - the first international new media art festival in the Philippines – that kicks off 6:00PM at Gweilos, Makati for everyone to experience what new media art is.

Fostering a Culture of Knowledge-Sharing

"The festival aims to become a catalyst for a cultural, educational, and technological exchange on emerging new media art practices in South East Asia and Europe," says Tengal, festival organizer for ASEUM "But more importantly to try and shape the way in which we think about and experience these technologies."

This is why ASEUM has partnered with several top universities such as the University of the Philippines-Diliman, De La Salle University-Dasmariñas and DLSU-CSB School of Design and Arts that actively support the development and growth of new media art.

Leading new and inter media art practitioners, researchers, curators and producers from all over the globe such as Peter Tomaz Dobrila [si], Jerneja Rebernak [si/sg], Emma Oto [jp/gb], Aether9 [global], Tad Ermitano [ph], Malek Lopez [ph], Angelo Vermeulen [be], Diego Maranan [ph], Brian O’ Reilly [us], Rick Bahague [ph], Lirio Salvador [ph], Visual Pond [ph], Tim O' Dwyer [au], Darren Moore [au], Vanini Belarmino [de/ph], and Noel de Brakinghe [ph] will hold lectures, workshops and discussions among the most versed of Filipino students in new media art to encourage them to pursue degrees in such field.

Topics such as Open Source Advocacy, Technology and Cultural Practices, Open Structures and Remote Real time Storytelling, Intersections of Art, Ecology, Gaming and Advocacy, Data Visualization: Making meaning in an Info-rich World, Computer music and video in a live setting, Media and the Creation Process, Sound Mapping: Circuit Bending, Pure Data: Practical Programming for Sound Art, Video Art and Experimental Moving Image, Electroacoustic improvisation, Mono- Multi- and Inter-Media, The Value of Exchange in Creative Interdisciplinary and Cross-Border Collaborations, and Why Numbers Make Sounds: Basic Introduction to Patching and Audio Synthesis using Max/Msp will be covered.

A Transformative Sound Experience

Change the way you perceive sound with five nights of rapid electrofringe experimentation on sound and moving image with VJing, intermedia performances, cutting-edge experimental music and related visual arts at ASEUM’s Ear2Eye Program.

“The E2E program wraps up the night with exciting performances from local and foreign guests,” says Tengal “Take this opportunity to be exposed to live improvised experimentations on sound and moving images while sipping a beer or two.”

Yandsen is a member of the Experimental Musicians & Artists Cooperative Malaysia (EMACM) and the co-founder of Studio in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur (SiCKL).

Siew-wai Kok is a voice improviser and video artist. She has studied and lived in USA for 7 years. During her stay in the States, she has studied with a few art luminaries such as Pauline Oliveros, Tony Conrad and Peer Bode, who have introduced her to a whole “new world” in the arts. Siew-wai has participated in festivals such as the Iskandar Malaysia Contemporary Art Show 2009, Nyoba Kan Butoh Festival 2008, Choppa Eclectic Improvised Music Festival 2008 (Singapore), Notthatbalai Art Festival 2007, International Film Festival Rotterdam 2007, Beyond/In Western New York Biennial 2005 and more.

Reflex Reactions is an improv duo made up by Yandsen Yong and Siew-wai Kok where Yandsen plays the saxophone, clarinet and flute while Siew Wai does voice improvisation. The duo creates musical conversations through attentive listening and communication with each other. “Create ‘NOW’” is the motto of this duo.

Republic of Perstustungka is an informally organized band composed of Yandsen, Siew-wai and Donna Miranda. The group performed during Notthat Balai Art Festival 2007 (Malaysia), and had gigs at SiCKL in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur also in 2007.

The Gangan Ensemble is loosely composed of improvisers who work on both sound and video formats that was created to explore the intricate and different kinds of interaction and ways of harnessing sound/energy/musicianship alongside moving images. The ever-evolving membership involves a variety of video-performance artists (VJs) and electro-acoustic musicians from the Philippines, Singapore, USA, Germany, Australia, UK, Slovenia, Malaysia, and Indonesia since it's incarnation in 2007. The ensemble has performed in various countries in South East Asia, notably in NCCA's Sinemusikalye in Manila, in Choppa 2008 in Singapore, in the Cellsbutton Media Art Festival in Indonesia, and recently with electro-acoustic composer Chris Brown in Manila.
