hi all,
Thanks Victoria for inviting me, massive apologies for not being more present - I now have all the time in the world... this month! to contribute.
I'm putting together a collection of material that relates to my interest in various filtering devices (as well as other operations), being put into play with re the production of new texts - which I'm likening to new 'science fictions', that may well have an element of subjectivity enmeshed within them - I'd be very grateful if anyone has any further suggestions on this?
I also want to produce a sound work in tandem with my financial algorithm work, and would be very grateful if anyone felt like participating in this? It would mean hooking up at a specific date and time to produce a new sound work, collectively - a collective performative piece relating to live news reading (live, but I would also be recording it). It would involve being available for a specific time and date, sometime over the summer - the exact play of this is yet to be determined, but it'd be great it anyone was interested in being a part of it - it would have a live production side to it, at Banner Repeater at some point. (bit vague at this stage, I realise) - mail me at [log in to unmask]
It's been great reading all the interesting threads of conversation - thank-you very much.
