“…lustrous sonic landscapes using [her] highly trained vocal cords”
-The San Francisco Chronicle
“…the naked freedom of jazz improvisation and the alien crunch of digital mechanisms”
Pitchfork Media
Produced in partnership with Roulette’s Mixology Festival, the 2009 Harvestworks Inside performance series presents “Gestures and Responsive Media”, three concert programs focusing on modern experiments in performance technology. Central to this series is the exciting way that live performers are exploring the use of gesture to control computers and building technological environments for free, improvisatory play. From Pamela Z’s gesture-based vocal experiments to Sha Xin Wei’s phenomenological experiments with movement and media, the presenting artists not only expand the boundaries of traditional performance and instrumentation, but also humanize electronics through creative means.
Thursday May 14 - Pamela Z / Elliott Sharp
Friday May 15 – Zach Layton / Sha Xin Wei
Saturday May 16 – Sawako / Bill Hsu & James Fei

PNEUS at FORÊT/FOREST: 8th MANIFESTATION INTERNATIONALE of CHAMP LIBRE |
|
|
September 24-28, 2008
from noon till midnight @ MONOPOLI
181 Saint-Antoine Street West,
Quartier International de Montréal (QIM),
Place d’Armes metro station
THE macrocosm OF FIBER OR THE FILTERING pavillon PNEUS = PNEUMAS, a collective composed of architect Patrick Harrop (Montreal, Manitoba), artist and architect Peter Hasdell (Australia, England, Manitoba, Hong Kong), and artist Sha Xin Wei (USA, Montreal). Pneus is a suspended forest made of a multitude of sensors and electronic generators surrounding translucent PVC tubes. The latter reproduce the fibers that lend trees their flexibility and regenerative capacity in a structure many meters high. This magic space of sound and light is the outcome of a progressive real-time recording and its transformation that condenses and expresses in one space - a structure and spatial occupation - an immediate experience of all the perceptible phenomena of movement in the context of the occupied neighborhood, including passersby, passing clouds, and the wind. ESEA, a new version of PNEUS will be presented at the Shanghai (People's Republic of China) E-Arts Festival from October 17-22, 2008.

Remedios' Terrarium at FOFA gallery |
|
|
MARCH 17 - APRIL 4
VERNISSAGE: MARCH 20
Remedios' Terrarium articulates substantial morphogenesis in a space artificially augmented by light, sound and machinic memory. This group exhibition showcases recent strands of speculative experiments from the Topological Media Lab related to movement and performative arts, sculpture, architecture, and computational media.
The main Gallery acts as an alchemical vessel mixing multiple species of matter responding to activity inside and outside the space: calligraphic video and sound, plastic cells, structured light, and in certain moments, performers. Other chambers contain sculptural reflections on the terrarium. We compose the exhibition as two and a half week long event breathing according to clocks as well as contingent states.
Remedios' Terrarium features works by affiliates of the Topological Media Lab
from Special Individualized Programs, Humanities PhD Program, MFA
Studio Arts program, Design Computation Arts, Computer Science,
Contemporary Dance, Electroacoustics, Theatre, and the University of
Manitoba / Department of Architecture, and Pneuma.
