February 3, 2012  11:00 – 14:00 Interpelled will be presented during the Mobilizing the Unrepresentable – as a live stream.

The Isolation and Empowerment after Web 2.0.segment features work that explores the tensions of hierarchical control and the increasing connectivity and virtualisation of our social relationships by exposing the possible scenarios of networked dystopias, and asks its audience to rethink critical strategies by proposing new paths for political actions (both artistic and hacktivist) based on the recognition of the power of distributed subjectivities.

City Soundings for Radiophonic Creation Day

June 4, 2011

www.shakerattleroll.org

City Soundings was a fun collaborative composition side project made for Radiophonic Creation Day organized by Wiska Radkiewicz and Andrea Cohen. Several composers/artists took field recordings of their home cities, passing back and forth a pool of sound – sort of like a digital editing game of telephone – the result was a collective composition that incorporated many different compositional styles.

Contributers: Steven Brown (UK), Marek Choloniewski (Poland), Andrea Cohen (France), Victoria Estok (USA), Brad Garton (USA), Janete El Haouli (Brazil), Andrew Hugill (UK), Malle Maltis (Estonia), Wiska Radkiewicz (USA), Hernan Risso Patron (Argentina), Franziska Schroeder (UK),Andrei Smirnov (Russia), Marie Wennersten (Sweden), Lidia Zielinska (Poland). Andrea Cohen presented City Soundings during a radio programme on France Culture, the public cultural French radio. Give a listen if you like here to a portion of this broadcast.

How could I say no …when Steve Lambert asked if I was interested in an adventure and doing sound for a secret project that Greenpeace had been working on. Intrigue aside, working on a project with/for them is enough of a reason.  The trip gave us an incredible inside peek and also wound up being a bit of a nostalgic trip for me as well. In the DC office, I recognized two familiar faces (Kert Davies & Phil Radford) who were the lead organizers of  this student climate summit (COP6) that I took part in back in 2000. Hard to believe it has already been 10 years!  Seeing them again made me pause and think about global warming forecasts we heard of back then and how we really only had a 10 year window to really do something about it …

FUTURITY NOW! transmediale.10

February 18, 2010

Seized the surreal opportunity to participate in The Futurity Long Conversation, a 9-hour experimental relay of one-to-one conversations, that brought 21 leading artists, designers, theorists, journalists and media interventionists together to discuss, explore, and in some cases play with the conceptions we have of the future today.

Conversations were an open platform — the participants agreed to come on to stage – without visuals or talking points (in theory unprepared) and allow a dialogue. The vision behind the 9 hour conversation was that participants would be open to following whatever turns the conversations would ultimately take — mirroring the idea that the future itself always eludes our grasp and preparation.

Two very different 22 minute conversations:
