Kasha Potrohosh: Springformance Music performance  Exhibition at tranzit sk 18th May 2023, 6:30 p.m.

As part of the Listening to the waterfalls of the sun exhibition, Kasha Potrohosh, whose works range from photo through painting to performance, will present her latest sonic research in the small garden at Beskydská 12. Instruments made out of natural materials, created through an intuitive process will be played by the artist through the usage of a contact microphone, accompanied by her singing and voice overs. Field recordings from the forests of Bratislava and Ostrava will also be mixed in to create a calm, healing sound. The performance strives to be a sonic experiment, a concert and a meditation inviting listeners to open themselves up to the many “unheard” sounds of the universe.

Kasha Potrohosh is a Ukrainian artist who is currently based and studying intermedia at the AFAD in Bratislava. Her work, which focuses on intermedia, covers a broad spectrum of activities and projects. In addition to her solo work, she has been an active member of the MAPSN performance group. The topics that Kasha explores touch upon the subjective experience of gender roles, self therapy as well as reflections of broader social, feminist, environmental topics. More info here.

NU ARTS AND COMMUNITY 2024 (II)

Potremmo definire come appartenente ai “nuovi suoni” la performance di “Pelli Verdi”nell’Arengo del Broletto, luogo sontuoso e medievale che sembra particolarmente adatto a sonorità intime e quasi ancestrali, ibridate da una tromba jazz, quella di Mario Mariotti, ormai quasi di casa sulla scena novarese. La voce magnifica di Bayza Cakir trasporta il pubblico negli universi dell’anima del grande poeta turco Nazim Hikmet. Peccato non avere tra le mani i suoi testi di per poter gustare appieno il concerto e non so dire quindi quanto siano pertinenti le deformazioni delle parole di Hikmet, ma vero è che i brani sono molto intensi, mistici e solenni in una cornice di estrema modernità: “Il faut être absolument moderne” diceva Rimbaud e sembra proprio che la strada intermedia tra una folk music ed una più contemporanea, sia nettamente tracciato. Sulla scena anche Guglielmo Prati all’elettronica e Walter Prati al violoncello elettronico. Sullo stesso filone è “Hurdja”, secondo concerto della serata, un progetto con al centro Massimo Silverio nella parte di un ricercatore di lingue morte da un riesumare o di lingue dimenticate, in particolare l’antica lingua carnica. Non sarebbe stata una cattiva idea cercare, anche in questa circostanza, di avere un programma di sala che permettesse la lettura dei testi, perché se con un po’ di buona volontà si può orecchiare l’inglese, lo spagnolo e il francese, col carnico tutto risulta un po’ più problematico. Silverio è un personaggio molto carismatico nonostante la sua giovane età e occupa con autorevolezza il centro della scena, in piedi con le sue chitarre e il suo violoncello modulando la voce come in una salmodia contemporanea creando l’effetto di una poesia-preghiera che ci immaginiamo arrivare da cavità profonde della terra e da cupe e intonse foreste alpestri. Un bel programma anche per questa seconda serata di “Nu Arts and Community”.

limbo - acción 4: transpiro (track - lado b)

trance sonoro registrado en un umbral, entre insomnio y portal inquieto, para entregar el cuerpo a ese tránsito que bordea el límite. consciente e inconsciente, controlado y no. con todas las capas que somos en presencia e intercambio lúcido y aleatorio.

limbo: performances y sonidos surgidos entre voces noctámbulas y exploradoras de estados intermedios entre el sueño y la vigilia, para acompañar y transitar estados de trance y loops insomnes, parálisis del sueño, sueños lúcidos, sonambulismo y otras mutaciones. ¿en qué dimensión intermedia de cuerpo - consciencia - inconsciencia nos suspendemos en esos estados antes de llegar a un sueño profundo en que soltamos el control? ¿de qué formas intentamos sostener las riendas de ese limbo para jugar los personajes que somos ahí, hipersensoriales? ¿qué información podemos traer a nuestro ser tangible después de nadar ahí? ¿y si ese limbo no es solo mío?

Blog post - Rachel Banks Rachael Banks is a Little Elm, Texas-based photographer who specializes in capturing the human experience. She first became enticed with photography during her freshman year of high school as it became her outlet of expression. She developed a passion for taking images of people early on and pursued this as a career. Even yet, she had a difficult beginning to her studies in photography as a result of a drug overdose brought on by the pressure to perform well in college. She managed to obtain her bachelor's degree in painting and photography from Bellarmine University and an MFA in photography from Texas Woman's University with a secondary focus on intermedia (bookmaking, papermaking, and printmaking). Her work has been exhibited at PhotoPlace Gallery, Darkroom Gallery, Black Box Gallery, The Center for Fine Art Photography, and the Kinsey Institute. It has also been featured in Fraction Magazine, Prism Magazine, Posi+Tive Magazine, Superstition Review, Feature Shoot, and Lensculture. Her photos where really centered on people but they were executed very well. I really enjoyed seeing into another person life through the picture she took. I am primarily focusing on "Between Home and Here" because of the emotion seen in the family. I love how everyone looks pleasing with bright define features, such and the red hair and blue eyes. Her photos also remind me a lot of our class since we focus a lot on people and what they are doing. It makes me wonder what is the purpose of all these people and why are they in the picture. “Rachael Banks.” Fraction Magazine, www.fractionmagazine.com/rachael-banks. Accessed 7 May 2024.

Uno de los aspectos que ha sido objeto de críticas es la irregularidad en el rendimiento del equipo. En algunos partidos, el United ha mostrado un fútbol dinámico y efectivo, pero en otros ha carecido de consistencia y ha cometido errores que le han costado puntos importantes.

Otro punto de análisis ha sido el desempeño de jugadores clave en la plantilla. Algunas estrellas han destacado por su liderazgo y aportes al equipo, mientras que otros han sido cuestionados por su bajo rendimiento y falta de compromiso en ciertos encuentros.

En resumen, el análisis del rendimiento del Manchester United en la actualidad muestra un equipo con potencial pero que aún debe trabajar en mejorar su consistencia y nivel de juego para alcanzar sus objetivos deportivos. Los aficionados esperan que el equipo pueda superar sus desafíos actuales y volver a brillar en el escenario futbolístico internacional.

I AM READING THE SEX ESSAY

or; Synaesthetic Cinema and Polymorphous Eroticism from the book Expanded Cinema by Gene Youngblood

rough notes relating to my chair porn idea (which has now expanded greatly and will be documented in a future post)

reading this less in the lens of eroticism evolving through orgies and more through evolution of eroticism through technological development and specifically relating to the contemporary internet.

"A genuine social underground no longer is possible. The intermedia network quickly unearths and popularizes any new subculture in its relentless drive to satisfy the collective information hunger."

i will unearth the fictional underground chair sex fiends in a performance feigning the discovery of a website documenting a unknown niche lolcow on a quest to make chair porn

relating now more than ever the constant rise and fall of trends - turning this to a radical extremist lens, the quick discovery, celebration and rapid, quiet falling out of notoriety of anything.

"The vast political and social revolution that is now irreversible in its accelerating accelerations around the planet is merely a side effect of the more profound revolution in human self-awareness that is producing a new sexual consciousness."

discovery a lot of trends are born out of fetish or popularized out of fetish

large amounts of media produced for fetish passed on as simply the oddities of the internet. (content farm elsa and spiderman, nickacado avacado mukbangs...)

"Girlie and stag films take the opposite approach: they represent sex in various stages of "unredemption" until the point of watching them becomes more an act of rebellion, of something "dirty," clandestine, without redeeming qualities, than the enjoyment of sex."

i will make the image of a chair into sin

"Eupsychia and utopia are both quite inevitable and both quite out of our hands, for they are the irreversible result of technology, the only thing that keeps man human."

technological progress (specifically hyper online and within social media) towards sexual utopia (as in freedom and or lack of condemnation)

degeneracy at the click of a button without any restriction, and the mere peripheral effects of this seeping into hub media and manifests in public consciousness

(paraphrasing) the effects of industrialization and cybernetics indicate a change in sexual activity where reproduction is no longer the main focus, rather pleasure. this is why "girls begin to look like boys and boys and girls wear the same clothes."

"Repression and censorship become impossible on an individual level when technology outstrips enforcement."

"Polymorphous-perverse self"

"The effects of habitual group sex, even when exclusively hetero-sexual, become obvious: man inevitably realizes that there is no such thing as "perversion" apart from the idea itself. We begin to recognize that our sexual potential is practically limitless once psychological barriers are erased."

"Genital man is to become polymorphously perverse man, the man of love's body..."

"The art and technology of expanded cinema will provide a framework within which contemporary man, who does not trust his own senses, may learn to study his values empirically and thus arrive at a better understanding of himself. The only understanding mind is the creative mind. Those of the old consciousness warn that although the videotape cartridge can be used to unite and elevate humanity, it also can "degrade" us by allowing unchecked manufac-ture and exchange of pornography. But the new consciousness regards this attitude itself as a degraded product of a culture without integrity, a culture perverse enough to imagine that love's body could somehow be degrading."

John Dewey reminds us that when art is removed from daily experience the collective aesthetic hunger turns toward the cheap and the vulgar.

Eroticism is the most subjective of experiences; it cannot be portrayed or photo-graphed; it's an intangible that arises out of the aesthetic, the manner of experiencing it.

The difference between sex in synaes-thetic cinema and sex in narrative cinema is that it's no longer a spectacle. By definition synaesthetic cinema is an art of evocative emotion rather than concrete facts. The true subject of a synaes-thetic film that includes fucking is not the act itself but the metaphysical "place between desire and experience" that is eroti-cism. It ceases to be spectacle because its real subject cannot be displayed.

note: The Liberation of Mannique Mechanique by Steven Arnold and Michael Wiese "explore the polymorphous subterranean world of unisexual transvestism."

chair porn - eroticism without flesh, pure structures and splintering wood?

idea of nearly replicating a linear narrative corny porno in a most maximalist way, but removing the subject of the body and superimposing pure emotion onto chairs

perhaps mechanical in process

do i want to make good chair porn or bad chair porn? would the fictional (fictional) character of chair porn maker be good at making chair porn, or would these art historical references be extrapolated by the fictional internet theorist?

Carolee Schneemann on her work, Fuses 1965-68, "The thing that is disreputable in the idea of pornography for me, is that it tends to have to do with the absence of feeling, the absence of really committed emotions. I was after some kind of integral whole-ness; the imagery is really compounded in emotion."

Roberto Paci Dalò In Two Worlds

01. Elie 02. Code 03. Files 04. Remix 05. Tallinn

All compositions by Roberto Paci Dalò. 2002 handwritten text a mesostic by John Cage dedicated to Roberto Paci Dalò design Lora Casadei thanks Vincent Delvaux, Andrea Felli, Philippe Franck, Gabriele Frasca, Lab[au], Andres Loo, Maks Surin, Fujui Wang L'Arte dell'Ascolto –a project of Giardini Pensili produced by Roberto Paci Dalò © 2004 Roberto Paci Dalò (p) 2004 L'Arte dell'Ascolto In Two Worlds backstage

The title comes from a mesostic John Cage wrote after concert I gave in New York City at the Experimental Intermedia Foundation A great venue - directed by composer Phill Niblock - which is still keeping the "loft" atmosphere of the 60's. John came to the concert and few days later we met in his flat. At that occasion he gave me this mesostic which obviously is one of the most important (very few) things I own! Elie is dedicated to cellist/composer/conductor Jean-Paul Dessy's son. I created the piece in my former studio in Rome in may 2002. Code, Files, Remix originally are one single composition commissioned by the Netdays Festival in Brussels 2002. Philippe Franck and Vincent Delvaux / Transcultures proposed to me the making of a sound piece as a collaborative project together with media architects Lab[au] (laboratory for architecture and urbanism) in order to produced an installation in the public space: RE:MAP Instead of dealing solely with my own usual materials, I thought that was probably more interesting to think about other musicians presence at the festival. So I sampled sounds from works by all of them and with this database I created the piece. This installation work has been presented in Brussels next to the Brigittines, a former beautiful little church converted now into a performing arts space. Tallinn has been recorded live in concert in Tallinn (Estonia) in 2002. I've been invited to perform there by a friend: Maksim Surin cult figure of the Estonian scene. I love Estonia and Nordic countries in general and I particularly enjoyed that event. That's why I wanted to include e little excerpt in this first album.

All these pieces have a lot to do with my interested in cities and urban sonic & visual explorations. Kind of environmental pieces dealing with city life. I took the photographs in the CD during a painful and endless night trip by train from Torino to Rome. Everything has been mixed and postproduced at the Giardini Pensili Studio between Rome and the Rimini hills. – RPD L'Arte dell'Ascolto LADA001
