Ouverture by Dviance & Lauren Auder with N-prolenta

[xxamxum]

[homeschoolpdx]

Join home school and S1 on 24 Jun 2018, 6-8p for an integrated lecture and multimedia engagement by N-Prolenta! They will be in town in person from North Carolina to briefly contextualize and then present a scene from their upcoming book project "i was born in ww3." Deploying sound, performance, and light work, the scene is titled "a- connecting western empiricism... digitality... to production, introducing industrial autopoetics. b- detailing the birth of discretive processes therein via middle passage and post middle passage transhuman eugenics."

Drawing from cybernetic theory, post-camp aesthetics, and the deep-seated belief that to love knowledge, one must let it go, N-Prolenta excavates a critical juncture regarding the afterlife of slavery as embodied in digital technology and our changing neuronal landscape. As always, this engagement will be livestreamed and archived online for distance learning. Snacks and refreshments will be available.

N-Prolenta - tfw drake traffics you

[freetheland]

"I also simulate what feels like the most imminent and presently encroaching future condition for the Black subject: precarity. ... In a pressurized world where sea levels have risen, access to water and food are insecure, populations are far more dense, economic agents are increasingly single-actors, and power is garnered through the fidelity of the image, the Black subject maintains its position as fulcrum for those pressures, and experiences its brunt. With Banana Island, I produce a situation where my resources are scarce and the pressure to tap dance for the camera and to create channels for economic exchange, or suffer, is at a high. It's like if the Hunger Games were a crisis aid hotline."

The Opalescent Abdication Of Godot AKA Sometimes Shit Hurts Bad All Over /// AVA Gallery, Cape Town,South Africa 12-04-2017/13-05-2017

Exploring ways of healing, conceptual artist Negiste Yesside Johnson interrogates learned and prescribed ways of “getting over” traumatic events. In a society, where one is often advised to “give it time’’ and let the healing process happen organically, the artist attempts to debunk and deconstruct such methods as a way of creating personalised mechanisms for healing.

Through a video triptych ,Yesside Johnson aims to create a narrative for the ways in which we are socialised to heal. In each video, the artist utilises her body and public and private spaces to depict three phases of these processes of healing, which can often times be lonely and leave one feeling empty while facing ones own feelings, fears and anxieties.

“Agwo”, which means “Heal”  in Igbo, in the language used in Yesside Johnson’s birth country Nigeria,the artist confronts isolation, as a feeling often felt while undergoing healing. (The state of facing one’s own emotions, or the loneliness often felt while “waiting” to get over certain feelings.Addressing this trauma and through performance  healing. The pieces explore suppressed memories through a physical sense.Finding similarity and connection in found spaces which creates immediate intrigue into what it once was and has presently become.

While part2: Blue attempts to reject learned ways of healing; reflecting on inner turmoil - the claustraphobia of feelings while inhabiting the noise and clutter of a bustling inner city. And part three — Untitled: : Black/Yellow — interprets the expression and celebration of self while healing. And deals with mourning and the final stages of healing: the death of the old self and the birth of the new.

To quote Korean-US conceptual artist Micheal Joo, “We ‘grow’ and lose, only to re-grow again – a process that is both organic and ‘man-made’. It is limited only by our own capacity to imagine ourselves or to see ourselves as strong beings.”

Yesside Johnson has made use of sound as a core element in her conceptual practice, remixing the local South African Song “Dont Feel Ashamed” by Boom Shaka by collaborating with two producers,Brandon Covington Sam-Sumana's aka N-Prolenta and Mohato Lekana aka Wildebeats. Creating an interpretation of the song, based on each performances narrative, by each producer.

In collaboration with Diné artist Kevin Holden and home school—a pop-up art school based in Portland, OR—with support from black apotrope, the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College is proud to present home school field day #2, a day-long feast of sound, music, performance, poetry, and video screenings, modeled after a school field day.

The home school field day series takes place in former and current educational institutions as a platform for questioning and reimagining the methods, purposes, and dynamics that connect art and education. field day #2 orients itself around medium-nonconforming, medium-agnostic, and medium-antagonistic gestures and practices in performance.

A merchandise table with printed matter, wearables, and other editions will be available! The merch table includes a cassette published on the occasion of field day #2, with sound work by participants of both field days, produced in collaboration with deepwhitesound, an international online label of experimental sound co-founded by DB Amorin.

Food with vegan options and other refreshments will be served. As with all home school events, field day #2 will be recorded and archived online for distance learning.

home school is a free pop-up art school in Portland, Oregon co-facilitated by Victoria Anne Reis and Manuel Arturo Abreu. Their pedagogy honors the casual rigor of the etymology of “school,” from the Greek shkole “spare time, leisure, idleness, rest.” With a multimedia curriculum featuring artist talks, exhibitions, poetry readings, physical education, and other engagements, home school creates welcoming contexts for critical engagement with contemporary art. http://homeschoolpdx.tumblr.com

The 2018 home school curriculum is supported by a Precipice Fund grant, funded by the Calligram Foundation / Allie Furlotti and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The 2018 curriculum also receives support from a Rhizome Net Art Microgrant. home school field day #2 is generously supported by the Cooley Gallery, Reed College.

N-prolenta Ally Theatre: Barcode Nudes

[ENG]

Italo Calvino’s 1985 series of speeches “Six Memos for the Next Millennium” see a delineation of six new paradigmatic values for literature – Lightness, Quickness, Exactitude, Visibility, Multiplicity and Constancy – to be of prime focus during the third millennium. In Ally Theatre: Barcode Nudes, I have offered a sonic visitation and reconstruction of these values under the span of three minutes elapsed; an appraisal of these values re-figuring the conjectures set forth by Calvino with the new knowledge of our placement in the earliest part of this millennium.     The first of Calvino’s values – Lightness – is arguably the only original value Calvino presents, as the succeeding five – Quickness, Exactitude, Visibility, Multiplicity and Constancy – are not values in and of themselves, but effectual conditions of that original lightness Calvino denotes. While Calvino’s words on lightness are themselves set within the premises of the literary, the bounds constituting these premises fall decisively outside the confines of any notion foregrounding objects of lithograph as sole witnesses-to, containers-of and sites-of textuality. This conception of the literary is sector-independent and is of an abstract, qualitative, extractive nature: within, the lightness Calvino directs us to exists characteristically ‘in motion’.     Calvino’s asserts a connection between his paradigmatic values and what was for him an impending second industrial revolution and thereby to the realms of economy and data space. This is with reason, for the third of his values within the larger paradigm of lightness translates directly to the English word ‘exactitude’, dictating his lightness to “[go] with precision and determination, not with the vague and haphazard”. I would say this might amount to alarm, and perhaps a sense of bizarro, when we consider that, within the dictates of his words on the third millennium’s paradigm of lightness, Calvino moves to violate exactitude’s abhorrence of the “vague and haphazard” by later stating that “the poet of vagueness can only be the poet of exactitude, able to grasp [subtlety]”.     I wonder who or what can a poet be when their primary function here is to grasp, parse and then shed light? Perhaps this poet is as much fleshed individuation as it is algorithm, occupying our environments as ubiquitously as both our bodies and the networks lying in appendage to them? Perhaps their exacting gaze lacks the discretion necessary to allow fluidity, ambiguity and darkness their appropriate spaces, imbuing the goals of precision and mordancy with the same kind of violent potentials as that of lapsed surgical incision?     Further along, Calvino’s condition of exactitude continues to complicate the reaches of its own tenets by branching into two directions, one side emphasizing “the reduction of secondary events to abstract patterns” and the other emphasizing “the effort made by words to present the tangible aspect of things as precisely as possible”. In many ways, the first branch may be construed as enumeration of the second; the abstraction of data from event is a way to express tangibility within the realm of the empiric.     Our poet, who grasps, then parses, before finally shedding light, must, in order to parse, establish partition between stimuli relevant to the constitution of tangibility and stimuli that interfaces with that constitution. They must produce an architecture that keeps the suspended solidity of the inside in and the qualic, fluid, fantastic inclemencies of the outside on the out. Our poet is, of course, not of fixed location and a more transient notion of domesticity emerges from within the designation of the empirically tangible. The bounds of the tangible surely contain thresholds enabling our poet to surveil the objects and behaviors of its exteriorities, abstract new bounds of the tangible, and amend the contents of its domesticity. Everything touched by the light is appraised by our poet and rendered into the fields of datum. The vague, the naughty, the ambiguous bits are not counted as non-essential, but rather subjected to deeper bouts of quantile operation and valuation, so that more light may be shed upon the face of our poet, proliferating it abound in a range of subtleties and allowing them deeper cognition. After the arrival of the third millennium’s light comes, as a consequence, the unfurling of logos and at a fidelity higher than experienced before.     These conditions taken into account, Ally Theatre: Barcode Nudes figures a different branching – positing, first, lightness as a tool for the preparation, vectorization and transmission of data, and second, lightness as an agent for the domestication of darkened, privatized, illegible space. The realm of the domestic, under the enlightening, unceasing scrutiny of exactitude’s poetry of subtlety, becomes a site fully quantile. Ally Theatre therein, as a text subject to the tenets of the third millennium’s paradigm of lightness and as a poetry of subtlety, assumes its own domesticity. Whilst the lyric verses themselves reside in the same home, they exist in chambers of their own, in varying degrees of both privacy and audibility. The lyrics here consistently phase toward and away from foreground: whether this indicates variance amongst the tangible realm’s permeability or variance amongst the fidelity of light’s penetration should remain unclear. That multiplicity of actuality and tangibility, beget by the question of those variances, is largely part of lightness’ consequence. Shedding light upon what transpires within this domesticity is a business beginning with a consultation of one’s own poet of subtlety, a poet that is both the progeny and progenitor of the poet inhabiting the network beyond the curtains of that domesticity, and a progeny and progenitor of the poet netted amidst the fluidities outside the charged, floating space of the domestic. I would say Calvino’s perspective hints at, but ultimately ignores, the spectre of contingency, slippage and bizarro that is made very real by the fluidities of the extra-domestic realm. These contingencies and the fluid multiplicative conditions yielding them have characterized our passage through the earliest parts of our third millennium. In my sonic refiguring of the text, this spectre of contingency was prioritized.

5 Interesting Projects

Glaciator

The Glaciator is a really cool project that interests me because it works on dealing with global warming that involves everyone but also tries bringing awareness to that problem through an art project that physically helps. The way the machine works is by being placed in Antarctica and it converts recent snow into compressed ice which slowly increases the amount of ice mass in Antarctica, in theory slowing down the process of global warming and how the ice caps are melting. This project stands out to me because it is trying to slow down the inevitable result of climate change but also makes people aware of how badly the situation is getting, hopefully encouraging people to do more for the environment.

Banana Island

Banana Island is a project made by an artist and musician called N-Prolenta where he live streams himself creating a mixtape using twitch.tv for 6 days, relying on donations from the viewers to fund his food and drink for the whole duration. These supplies are dropped off every other day and are based on how much someone donates, for example for $1 he gets a banana. This project interests me because it really involves the audience and is a great way to get publicity as it is a really unique way of raising money for a good cause, climate related disaster relief.

Responsive Mirrors

What I enjoy about this project is how interactive it is to give the user a different perspective on how light and sound travels through the air but also how it is interrupted and effected by us when we think we are in empty space. It uses mirrors to show what we can’t see which leads to the user reconsidering how waves work and what we actually see or don’t see.

True/False Algorithms

This project is a piece of art that generates patterns by using metal segments that moves around using kinetic energy to reveal bright light tubes that is functioning from algorithms. The way this works is by corresponding segments moving at the same time to reveal the tubes which creates a pattern. The thing that fascinates me so much by this project is how amazing it is to just look at while it processes different algorithms and creates crazy different patterns using light.  

$1 Songs

This project was made to make people challenge the value of songs because every song is the same price regardless of how good or bad it actually is. The way the creator did this was by making the song worse (In theory reducing the value) by changing the time, pitch and frequency of the song, by doing this it creates 3 songs, 1 for each change. I like this project because it is unique and really makes you think and challenge how the value of songs isn’t in correlation to the actual quality of the song. Also it comes off to me quite humorous by imagining what the remixed songs sound like and someone trying to sell them off as a “cheap” knock off.
