"THE UNDEGROUND CULT ALBUM FROM THE WORLD'S FASTEST DEATH METAL BAND!"

PIC INFO: Part 2 of 2 -- Resolution at 1400x1400 Spotlight on "Horrified," the only studio album by pioneering American grindcore band REPULSION.

Although the album was originally recorded in 1986, and released on cassette as "Slaughter of the Innocent," it remained unreleased until three years later when it was officially released on LP and CD via Necrosis Records, a sublabel of Earache [Records] run by Jeff Walker and Bill Steer of the band CARCASS.

MINI-OVERVIEW: "REPULSION has always been a band that your favorite bands worshipped, but were somehow otherwise criminally unheard of. But make no mistake, evangelizers like Napalm Death, Carcass, Entombed, Terrorizer, At the Gates and others will tell you: One listen to "Horrified" — to the thrashing riffs and buzzsaw bass, the desperately screamed vocals and the incessant pounding (that legitimized a new drumbeat) — and you’ll see how it all started; you’ll visit the haunted cobwebbed attic of the genre we call grindcore.

Recorded in ’86, tape-traded for three years — beyond REPULSION’s demise — and released posthumously on Earache sub-label Necrosis in ’89, "Horrified" infected the burgeoning underground with an unheralded blend of hardcore and death metal, appealing to disparate scenes and transcending genre boundaries, effectively blurring them into a frenetic mess. It was a singularity, a leap in the evolution. Unpolished and unapologetic, its legacy of primitivism is just as relevant now in this digital age of perfection as it was back in the ’80s, when it was shocking enough to make tape decks tremble and listeners utter, "What the fuck is that?""

-- "DECIBEL" Magazine, written by Matthew Widener, REPULSION's "Horrified," "Decibel" Hall of Fame #42, August 8, 2008

18)MOODBOARD 3 CONNECTED- ‘Digital Undeground’

For my third mood board I decided to base it on the ‘Digital Underground’ under the Menswear forecast for ‘Connected’. For this mood board I decided to experiment with the aesthetics. I went for a poster/collage effect with this board because I wanted to further explore with placement and utilise the tools within photoshop.

For this, I started with collecting images that really communicate the original trends concept ideas. This trend is focused on sticking to darks and neutrals for base colours; allowing vibrant digital like graphics to illuminate the look. Because of this, I decided that an all black background would fit best with the images I had chosen. I then experimented with the layout of these images; layering them on top of each other to create that collage effect and experimenting with the opacity levels. To further construct this, I then found an image on google of cello-tape which I then imported into photo shop. I then used the rectangular marquee tool to select around it and removed the  background. After that, I selected the ‘lighten’ option within the layers board which in turn made the look more realistic. Resizing and duplicating the layer I then started to place the cello tape around the corners and sides of the images. I really liked how this turned out and may incorporate this into my final look book.

I don’t know where the “Jon is a dumbass” thing came from, everything he did was the logical conclusion given the context or stakes at hand:

Season 1

“There’s paranormal interference to some of the information I’m trying convert to digital format”-> Find another way to preserve the information->Try with whatever->Look at that, tapes work

“I feel like I’m being watched when I read out loud the information I already know has paranormal content and interference”->Play dumb until you find out what’s going on

“There are multiple accounts of Jane Prentis with a paranormal parasite even verified by hospital records, my assistant said he was attacked by her”-> Keep a close eye on him, increase security, offer him assylum

“Another assistant said she was attacked by the same parasites that now appeared in the institute and says she’s got intel on how to defend ourselves, but the intel came from a suspicious source“->Take her advice but also investigate about that source->Tell Elias about it

"We’re under attack and probably going to die because we were absolutely not prepared for this and I don’t know about the precautions Elias took”-> Try to get the tape recorder to leave testimony of what happened to you

Season 2

“Assistant found the corpse of my predecesor dead by gun wounds, in the very suspicious undeground tunnels“->Doesn’t sound supernatural->Someone killed her + She spent all her time working-> Someone from work killed her-> Colleages or boss might be at fault+Don’t know why someone would kill her->Maybe you’re in danger too->Investigate by yourself without raising suspicion

“There’s proof that everyone’s keeping secrets“->Panic->Try to get some intel from the police

Bad decisions made out of paranoia, stress, trauma and tiredness: Follow people home, break into Gertrude’s flat, not taking enough precautions to not raise suspicion.

Outcome: Martin was hiding that he falsified his qualifications, Sasha was replaced by a monster, Elias is probably the killer so Jon was right to do what he did. Friendship ended with Tim, now beholding is my new best friend

Only dumbass decision made all season: Trying to destroy the table where the monster lives in an attempt at revenge, preventing more attacks or rescuing his assistant 

“I fucked up and the thing, we found out is evil, that helped us before is offering me a way to escape before the murderous monster comes for me” -> Enter the paranormal madness labyrinth knowing you might not come back because it’s better than the alternative (at least you know what to expect in there)

“I know from experience that Leitner’s books are extremely dangerous and I don’t know the guy’s motives but he just saved my life”-> He can manipulate the tunnels at will->Hear him out in a place he can’t use to his advantage-> Take Leitner’s words, the guy who’s been on the run underground for months if not years, with a grain of salt and try to keep a cool head

“Find Leitner dead knowing there’s a whole section of the police dedicated to paranormal events and making sure to cover them up so there’s almost never a follow up, an investigation or a court case and that Elias is most likely the killer and that my previous behavior will allow everyone to believe him if he frames me“->Lay low for a while

FLASHBack: Week 25 - Savlonic

Time for us to check in with the titans of the Flash Animation genre, as the first Thursday of the month means First-Class FLASHBack. Because there was a request for this, we're again turning our sights on Weebl. Music has always been a big component in Weebl's Flashes, all the way back to some of his earliest Flashes from 2003 such as Scampi, or Bonjour (Caution: pixelated penis), to more recent works such as 2013's Business Cat (a song very similar to one that another of FLASHBack's "First Class" artists, Weird Al, would release a year later, Mission Statement, except Weebl's song contains 100% more cat.)   So, it was a natural fit, when in 2008, the exciting new electro-pop band Savlonic asked Weebl to make a music video for one of their songs. Electro Gypsy was released on July 17th of that year. Two thirds of the band, Roscoe Thunderpants and Evangeline D'isco, also did an exclusive interview for Weebl's Stuff website. (Drummer Kandi Flaus had a prior commitment. The video is loaded with references to pop culture, from a Flux Capacitor on the titular Gypsy's robotic horse (mounted in the orientation that Doc Brown originally sketched it, no less), to a Matrix homage (specifically the "We need guns. Lots of guns." scene), to a recreation of the Astro Cat Meme from 2006 using Evangeline as the cat, to a shout-out to Weebl's own parody of the trailer for the first Michael Bay Transformers, in the form of a movie poster for Big Ass Badgers II.   Except of course, there was no exciting new band. Savlonic was merely another invention of Jonti "Weebl" Picking's. He provided the voice of Roscoe Thunderpants, although the singer's look was modelled off of the keyboardist from the band Sparks, Ron Mael. Evangaline D'isco was voiced by his wife, Sara Darling, who was a radio presenter on the Station XFM, a title she shared with the likes of Russell Brand, Ricky Gervais, and Simon Pegg. Originally voiced by a pitch-shifted Sara Darling, Kandi Flaus's role would be taken over by Katt Wade. Virtual Bands were nothing new in the animation world though, not even in Flash Animation, as the Brothers Chaps, creators of Homestar Runner (and also "First Class" alumni), had spawned their own Virtual Band, Limozeen, six years earlier.   Savlonic's next song, Tiny Japanese Girl, was released on 22 April 2010. This video would take on a predominately red color casting for it's background, something that would become a signature in future videos (perhaps in an effort to distinguish Savlonic videos from Weebl's other songs). Mr. Thunderpants assumes the guise of the king of the kaiju, Godzilla, while Evangaline and Kandi don kimonos. Other Japanese clichés include cherry blossom trees, geta sandals, and Mount Fuji. At the end of the video, in keeping with the theme of the song: tiny Japanese girls, D'isco and Flaus take on the role of the two twin fairies that accompany Mothra, activating the giant lepidopteran to save Godzilla/Roscoe from the militarized monster patrol.   Their third song, Wandering Eye would be put out on 8 June 2011. This video marked Weebl handing animation duties over to another Flash artist, Peabo, who departed from the chibi stylizations of the previous two, rendering the band in more realistic proportions while still being generally cartoonish. For the first time Evangaline's bangs are lifted to show her eyes. Roscoe's moustache is given more width to make it less Hitler-like. Like last week, there is an implication of rodents being used for lewd purposes.   On 26 March 2012, Savlonic's fourth song, The Driver hit YouTube, and Newgrounds, as well as Weebl's own site. Roscoe's moustache has gone full-on painter's brush to further deter the Hitler comparisons. Peabo shows off some high technical prowess in this one, with panning rotations around complex-shaped vehicles, as well as some wonderful wind effect on everyone's hair and Roscoe's tie.   Computer Guy, their fifth song, would drop on 27 May 2013. Heavily inspired by the Tron franchise, this was also their reddest video yet. The band are performing at the whims of the titular Computer Guy, literally hardwired in to be peripherals to his system. Midway through the video, when he cranks up the rock out percentage sliders, we see Kandi Flaus actually drum with both sticks for the first time, showing how he has total control over them. No one machine is meant to handle that much rock however, and there's an overload and an explosion that disconnects the band. They bust out with some hoverboards (real hoverboards, the kind that don't have wheels because they actually fucking hover instead of just rolling on the ground like a decapitated segway), and fly over to his tower to do some perfect superhero landings (hard on the knees). At the end is a huge plot twist which I won't spoil here.   On 11 February 2014, a Kickstarter was launched for a Savlonic album in digital and physical forms. It raised £34,768 against it's £12,000 goal, resulting in an album titled "Red". It consisted mostly of the existing five songs plus remixes of the same. A sixth song was produced new for the album, and on 22 August 2014, Spelunker was released. Peabo gave Evangaline a new hairdo this time around, and Kandi has a new style as well. Roscoe's and Evangaline's cave explorations are supported by top-side assistants Damian Bevan and Andrew Neidig, who both donated £1,000 or more on Kickstarter to be in the video.   On April Fools day of 2016, Savlonic launched another Kickstarter for a second album, titled Neon. This time around they shifted their branding to the retrowave/synthwave/outrun aesthetic. Weebl also brought in another new Flash animator to collaborate with, Anthony "Kr3id" Price. They were able to raise £40,778 of their £30,000 goal. On 19 September 2016, a video for the track Broken was released. As before, the video featured cameos by the highest paying kickstarter backers. The song is about hard feelings over a strained relationship and the video's premise is that these feelings come out in the middle of a recording session. Kandi, upset over the band being on the verge of falling apart, again begins to use both drumsticks, and as before, eventually destroys the stage with the force of her rockin' beats. Before that happens however, Evangaline and Rosco both use their keytar and microphone as futuristic weapons to trash the studio. When the band is plunged into the undeground tunnel below their studio when everything falls apart, D'isco and Thunderpants turn their musical weapons on each other while a disgusted Flaus decides to hop into the band's car and drive off, homaging both The Driver (the car), and Wandering Eye (her keychain).   2016 was a busy year for Savlonic, as there was also a release of a remix album for Neon, and also an album called the Rosco EP, which was a collaboration between Jonti Picking and Daniel "Kaspar Funk" Dobbs. Then, at the beginning of 2017, the second video from the Neon Album was released on 6 January. Hi-Lights picks up where Broken left off, with drummer Kandi Flaus driving away by herself. This marks the first time that Katt Wade takes over voicing Kandi. While the video starts out as a pure example of the Outrun aesthetic, two thirds in, there are hints of her car being chased by some ghostly green-eyed dark specter of some kind. We're only shown hints of it following behind her car, with Kandi glancing worriedly in her rearview mirrors. At the end of the video, she's apparently captured, and shown bound to some kind of sci-fi table as we catch more reflections of the ghostly green faces in her eyes. The video ends with "To Be Continued."   However Savlonic's next video would not pick up that storyline. Instead, on 19 January 2018, I Was Made for Loving You would be released to promote the band's cover tunes album, Emulat0r. The video itself is not much to speak of as it's just the band painted up to look like the song's original artists, KISS. They stand there while an elaborate stage rotates around them. It was a bit of a return to form for Weebl, as many of his early Flashes were based on simple looping visuals. A few weeks later on 2 February 2018, a video would drop for Johnny Massacre's track Beastman Blitz, which featured samples from Savlonic's Broken. This video marked the first time that the virtual band had been integrated with a live action person.   In May of 2018, Weebl went back to kickstarter to raise funds for yet another Savlonic album, Black Plastic, raising £37,055 of a £32,000 goal. Nearly eleven months later, on 18 Mar 2019, Weebl would team up with Arkanell to release a video for the song Action Causes Reaction, animated not in Adobe Flash, but in the Unity 3D engine. The change in toolsets was needed to support the making of a video in 360 VR. The video is heavily Tron themed, but it also has a blocky, voxelated look similar to Minecraft.   That's about all I have on Roscoe Thunderpants, Evangaline D'isco, and purple-haired drummer Kandi Flaus. Next week, a different purple haired girl, and her angry squirrel.

5th September at 7pm at Art 836 G Gallery, Pierottijeva 11, Zagreb

Art 836 G Gallery presents you short digital animation Baby Work by Shu Lea Cheang  in the frame of the artist's representation of Taiwanese's pavilion at Venice Art Biennale 2019. Also, short documentary about artist's latest work 3x3x6 will be screened. As the work has participating component in the form of an app for iOD and Android, visitors will be able to upload  their movies and thus themselves participate in the work.

Shu Lea Cheang had presentation in Zagreb of her work Undeground Seed Party as part of the UpgradeZagreb program at the Universal Research Institute. Born in Taiwan in 1954, Shu Lea Cheang has lived and worked in the United States as well as Japan, Holland, the United Kingdom, and France. Her practice combines artistic concerns with hot-button social issues, defined by her peripatetic and information-era existence. She has been a member of the alternative media collective Paper Tiger Television since 1982 and produced public-access programs for the group addressing racism in the media. In 2001 she cofounded Kingdom of Piracy, an online work space that promotes the free sharing of digital content and ideas as an art form; this project and others are borne of her political and community-driven goals. As an artist, she has worked in a variety of mediums—film, video, installation, web spaces—her output as varied as cyberspace itself.

Her work 3x3x6 is, by her words: trans punk fiction, queer, and anti-colonial imaginations hacking the  operating system of the history of sexual subjection.

In solidarity with Maedeh Hojabri, an Iranian teenager arrested for posting a dance video in Instagram in July 2018, Shu Lea Cheang has created the app #3x3x6 as part of the exhibition where the public globally can upload their selfie dancing videos. By opening up the possibility for the visitor to use personal smartphones and apps critically, by constantly uploading data from the visitors and entering it into the image flow of the exhibition, Cheang extends 3x3x6 outside of its physical location, blurring the limits between the museum and the Internet, but also between artist and visitor, between producer and receiver, but also questioning individual freedom and intimacy, collective agency and participation.

The title 3x3x6 refers to today’s standardized architecture of industrial imprisonment: a 3 x 3 m² cell constantly monitored by 6 cameras. Shu Lea Cheang’s exhibition hacks contemporary surveillance techniques to create a trans-punk fiction that questions the hegemonic narrative of the history of sexuality.

Art 836 G Gallery predstavlja kratku digitalnu animaciju Baby Work Shu Lea Cheang u okviru umjetničke reprezentacije tajvanskog paviljona na Venice Art Biennaleu 2019. Također će se prikazati kratki dokumentarni film o umjetnikovom najnovijem djelu 3x3x6. Budući da djelo ima komponentu koja sudjeluje u obliku aplikacije za iOD i Android, posjetitelji će moći učitati svoje filmove i na taj način sami sudjelovati u radu.

Shu Lea Cheang održala je u Zagrebu prezentaciju svog rada Undeground Seed Party u sklopu programa UpgradeZagreb na Univerzalnom istraživačkom institutu. Shu Lea Cheang, rođena 1954. u Tajvanu, živjela je i radila u Sjedinjenim Državama, Japanu, Nizozemskoj, Velikoj Britaniji i Francuskoj. Njezina praksa kombinira umjetnička zauzimanja za  socijalna pitanja s pritiskom na gumb, definiranim njenim peripatetskim postojanjem u  informacijskom razdoblju. Članica je alternativnog medijskog kolektiva Paper Tiger Television od 1982. godine i izradilaje  programe javnog pristupa grupi koja se u medijima bavi rasizmom. 2001. godine utemeljila je Kraljevstvo piratstva, internetski radni prostor koji promiče besplatno dijeljenje digitalnog sadržaja i ideja kao umjetničke forme; ovaj projekt i drugi rođeni su iz njenih političkih i društvenih ciljeva. Kao umjetnica, radila je u različitim medijima - film, video, instalacija, web prostori - čiji je učinak bio raznolik kao i sam cyberspace.

Njezin je rad 3x3x6, po njezinim riječima: trans punk fikcija, queer i antikolonijalne mašte hakiranje operativni sustav povijesti seksualne podčinjenosti.

U znak solidarnosti s Maedeh Hojabri, iranskom tinejdžericom uhićenom zbog objavljivanja plesnog videa na Instagramu u srpnju 2018., Shu Lea Cheang napravila je aplikaciju # 3x3x6 u sklopu istoimene izložbe u koju javnost na globalnoj razini može prenijeti svoje plesne video selfije. Otvarajući mogućnost posjetitelju da kritički koristi osobne pametne telefone i aplikacije, neprestano prenoseći podatke posjetitelja i unoseći ih u slikovni tok izložbe, Cheang proširuje 3x3x6 izvan  fizičke lokacije izložbe, zamagljujući granice između muzeja i Interneta, ali i između umjetnika i posjetitelja, između producenta i primatelja te  dovodi u pitanje individualnu slobodu i intimu, kolektivno djelovanje i sudjelovanje.

Naslov 3x3x6 odnosi se na današnju standardiziranu arhitekturu industrijskog zatvora: ćeliju veličine 3 x 3 m² koju stalno prati 6 kamera. Izložba Shu Lea Cheang hakira suvremene tehnike nadzora kako bi  stvorila trans-punk fikciju koja dovodi u pitanje hegemonistički narativ povijesti seksualnosti.
