Sarah McLachlan

Sarah McLachlan è la cantautrice canadese che ha venduto oltre 40 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo. Il più famoso è Surface, che le è valso due Grammy e quattro Juno Awards. 

Ha ottenuto diversi i dischi di platino e vinto, in totale, dodici Juno Award e tre Grammy oltre a numerose altre onorificenze per il suo impegno musicale e sociale.

Nel 1997, stanca di sentirsi dire che due artiste insieme erano già troppe, ha avuto la geniale intuizione di fondare il Lilith Fair, storico tour itinerante tutto al femminile, durato due anni che ha visto esibirsi una carovana di artiste in giro per Stati Uniti e Canada.

Lilith, secondo la tradizione ebraica, è la prima moglie di Adamo che prima di Eva viveva con lui nell’Eden. È il simbolo della lotta per l’uguaglianza delle donne, perché si ribellò al compagno e fuggì, rifugiandosi tra i demoni del deserto.

Un festival che ha fatto 130 tappe e visto la partecipazione di circa 300 artiste, tra le quali star come Suzanne Vega, Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple, Sinéad O’Connor, Erykah Badu e tante altre ancora. Circa dieci milioni ricavati dai proventi del tour, furono destinati a organizzazioni che si occupano di  donne in difficoltà.

È stato un concerto epocale della storia del rock, il giorno in cui le donne decisero di unirsi e fare la rivoluzione, nel nome della musica.

Sarah Ann McLachlan è nata il 28 gennaio 1968 a Halifax, in Canada, in una famiglia che l’aveva adottata. 

Ha iniziato a suonare l’ukulele quando aveva quattro anni prima di studiare chitarra classica, pianoforte e voce al Conservatorio. Ha poi studiato  arte e design.

A 17 anni suonava nella band The October Game e prima di terminare gli studi si era già trasferita a Vancouver sotto contratto con l’etichetta indipendente Nettwerk, due anni dopo prima di aver scritto una sola canzone. 

Il suo primo album, Touch, è uscito nel 1988.

Nel 1998, Angel, canzone che aveva scritto in seguito alla morte per overdose del musicista Jonathan Melvoin degli Smashing Pumpkins è stata inserita nella colonna sonora del film City of Angels e ottenuto il quadruplo disco di platino, classificandosi tra i migliori 40 dischi più venduti di sempre. 

Nello stesso anno ha ricevuto l’Elizabeth Cady Stanton Visionary Award, per aver promosso la carriera delle donne nella musica.

Nel 1999, è stata nominata Ufficiale dell’Ordine del Canada in riconoscimento della sua carriera discografica e delle donazioni di beneficenza grazie al Lilith Fair che ha hanno permesso di costruire case rifugio per donne maltrattate in tutto il Canada. Nel 2001 è stata inserita nell’Ordine della Columbia Britannica.

Impegnata in molte cause civili soprattutto rivolte all’infanzia negata, all’ambiente e agli animali, non ha mai negato la sua presenza in concerti di beneficenza come quello del 2004 per le vittime dello Tsunami e il Live 8. Fa parte dell’organizzazione Artists Against Racism.

Nel 2011 è stata insignita col una laurea ad honorem causa dalla Simon Fraser University e fondato una scuola di musica per giovani a rischio che, negli anni, ha aperto sedi in diverse città canadesi.

Nel 2013 ha ricevuto una laurea ad honorem in giurisprudenza dall’Università dell’Alberta.

Nel maggio 2015, ha ricevuto il Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, la più alta onorificenza canadese nel campo delle arti e dello spettacolo.

Il 2 aprile 2017, alla cerimonia dei Juno Awards, è stata inserita nella Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

Un’artista e una donna eccezionale che non si è mai voltata dall’altra parte quando si è trattato di apportare il suo contributo per migliorare la società.

BCM116 - Week Three Journal Entry (Case Study)

For the case study, I have chosen to research the Pulse Room work by Rafael Lorenzo-Hemmer. I was very fascinated with the concept of symbolising many different people’s lives in a room full of flickering lights. 

What is it? 

Created in 2006 by Rafael Lorenzo-Hemmer, Pulse Room is a large immersive media installation with over one hundred 300W light bulbs hanging 3 metres from the ceiling, covering the entirety of the exhibition room. At the side of the room, there is an interface that has the ability to read a human’s pulse. When a participant touches the sensor, their palpitations get recorded and transferred to the lightbulb closest to them (which is hanging slightly lower than the rest), and it flashes in time with the rhythm of their pulse. This information is stored and when new participants enter, the previous recordings are pushed forward, so that the new pulse can be recorded. Each new participant can see the previous heartbeats of people who entered before them, as they flicker all over the ceiling of the room. The flashing light bulbs together produce a chaotically flickering light environment by various layers of repetitive rhythms, creating a vibrant and pulsating “room”.  This interaction creates a unique and personal experience for each participant, blurring the lines between the artwork, the viewer, and the surrounding space.

Who is Rafael Lorenzo-Hemmer? 

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is a Mexican-Canadian installation artist who was born in 1967 in Mexico City. He graduated from Concordia University in Montréal, Canada in 1989 with a Bachelor of Sciences in Physical Chemistry. Despite his qualification in chemistry, he chose to pursue a career in interactive art, using his scientific skills and creativity to create immersive works. His works usually mix technology, performance, architecture, sound, and light to produce fascinating exhibitions that aim to influence audience participation. They also are most commonly showcased in public spaces and they are heavily inspired by phantasmagoria, carnival, and animatronics, his light and shadow works are "anti monuments for alien agency". Over the years, Lozano-Hemmer has received many awards across the globe for his works, such as:

Two BAFTA British Academy Awards for Interactive Art (London, England)

Golden Nica at the Prix Ars Electronica (Austria)

"Artist of the year" Rave Award from Wired Magazine

Rockefeller fellowship 

The Trophée des Lumières (Lyon, France)

International Bauhaus Award (Dessau, Germany)

The title of Compagnon des Arts et des Lettres du Québec (Québec, Canada)

Governor General's Award (Canada).

Inspirations, Context and History

Pulse Room belongs to a genre of art known as new media art. New media art is a broad term that covers art forms that are either created, edited, and showcased through new media or digital technologies. There are many types of media art, but some examples of popular ones include:

virtual reality 

digital

game 

computer animation and graphics

interactive 

In this case, Lozano-Hemmer’s work falls under the “interactive art” category. Interactive art takes on the form and shape of an event, where people attending the piece interact with the piece in order to make it come to life. This genre emerged in the late 19th to mid-20th century as artists started to incorporate the ever fast growing technologies into their creative processes. The recent establishment of the internet around this time also provided artists a place to reach large audiences across the globe that were previously inaccessible. Artists began to experiment with various mediums such as video, audio, digital graphics, and interactive installations. 

Lozano-Hemmer's work aligns with this tradition by using technology, in this case light and sensors, to create an immersive and participatory experience for the audience. Pulse Room inspired by Macario, directed by Roberto Gavaldón in 1960, a film that features the protagonist suffering from a hunger-induced hallucination and that each person is represented by a lit candle in a cave. These lit candles symbolised the duration of individual lives, which inspired Rafael to create a similar experience. The piece was also influenced by minimalist and serial music, as well as cybernetic research on the process of cardiac self-regulation carried out by the Instituto Nacional de Cardiología in Mexico.

How was it created?

Materials used in Pulse Room:

Computer (any)

Incandescent light bulb

Metal heart sensor stand 

DMX Dimmer pack/circuit board 

Lorenzo-Hemmer demonstrates the integration of art and technology through using a computer programming interface. This computer is used to collect the pulse signals from the metal bar sensor and has the ability to control every single light bulb in the room. Data is updated through USB connection to a DMX circuit board, and then it gets sent to the dimmer packs (which controls the amount of power of the bulb) where the bulbs are. There are two cables in the installation, one of which boots up the computers and sensors while the other translates signals to the dimmer pack. Lorenzo-Hemmer has made use of these technologies in order to create an aesthetically pleasing room full of sparkling lights, each representing a human being, leaving visitors pondering their experience after departing.

Significance

Pulse Room is a creative way of representing the human body's uniqueness. Everyone in the world has their own story, either individually or in the form of friends, family or romance. These people of all ages together help create the artwork of our world. In Pulse Room, each individual bulb represents an individual life. Likewise the pulse itself is symbolic of the rhythm of life. Each pulse has a different rhythm, much like how every person has a different look and personality. The all-encompassing immersive environment simultaneously transforms and translates energy from one source to another. The light bulbs register a human life and compose layers of repetitive rhythms as well as a vibrant and pulsating room. the installation will affect his or her sense of space and time. The visitor's experience within the installation is an index of the living organism. The light occupies the visitor's field of vision intensifying the contrast between light and darkness and the beating effect represents his or her actual heart pattern.

How does this help me?

This inspires me for my final work as I would like to do something interactive with lights, colours as well as have something that leaves the audience pondering the meaning or questioning their view on a certain topic, but I haven’t come up with any ideas at this point. I still need to brainstorm, so we shall see what I come up with in the future!

Nick Cannon's Net Worth: How He Built His Multi-Million Dollar Empire

Nick Cannon is a multi-talented entertainer who has achieved success in various fields, from music and acting to comedy and business. He is also known for his philanthropic work and activism, making him a well-rounded and respected public figure. In this blog, we'll take a closer look at Nick Cannon's net worth and how he built his multi-million dollar empire.

The net worth of Nick Cannon

Nick Cannon is a successful businessman, comedian, TV personality, record producer, DJ, and singer who has amassed quite an impressive net worth over his extensive career spanning more than two decades. Although Cannon was born into poverty, growing up in a housing project in Brooklyn, he managed to achieve great wealth through hard work and determination. Here’s everything we know about Nick Cannon’s net worth.

As of early 2023, sources estimate Nick Cannon’s net worth to be around $5 million dollars, although this number can fluctuate based on various factors such as endorsement deals, investments, and income streams. While not a small sum by any means, it pales in comparison to other celebrities like Jay Z ($8 billion) or Beyonce ($600 million), but then again, few entertainment industry figures reach their level of financial success. However, Cannon still makes a significant amount per year from hosting gigs such as Wildin’ Out, performing standup comedy sets, and starring in acting roles, along with profiting off of merchandising and music sales whenever he releases new albums or tracks.

Some of the key ways Nick Cannon earned money include his hit show America’s Got Talent as its host since 2009, which generated him steady paychecks annually until December 2021 when the controversy surrounding Mariah Carey led NBCUniversal to release both himself and the diva du jour from further seasons. Also, the highly acclaimed sketch comedy series Wild ‘N Out premiered on July 28, 2005 and would continue airing until present day, providing consistent revenue courtesy of Comedy Central.

With many irons in the fire, including managing Ncredible headphones along with a clothing line bearing his name, brand partnerships with companies like Dr Pepper and Toyota, plus directing several films, it looks like Cannon will remain busy earning cash throughout the years, always looking forward to the next big opportunity for growth. While much of Nick’s fortunes go towards supporting his three children, twins Moroccan Scott
