Miguel Álvarez-Fernández plays "Bacchus", A Sound Installation by DissoNoiSex

"Bacchus", a new installation by DissoNoiSex (Asia Piascik, Stefan Kersten and Miguel Álvarez-Fernández), presented at the Vinfonies Festival (Vilafranca del Penedès, Barcelona), 10-13 November 2011.

"Bacchus" is based on the electrical conductivity of wine: even the slightest trace of fluid on the smooth, white surface closes an oscillatory feedback loop between three metal electrodes and produces a manifold of sounds, ranging from earth shaking grunts to ecstatic screams. The visitor is invited to move the white box on its anchor in order to change the distribution of wine on the bottom and to find his/her own way of expressing those raging desires.

The Art of Creative Coding | Off Book | PBS Digital Studios

Programming plays a huge role in the world that surrounds us, and though its uses are often purely functional, there is a growing community of artists who use the language of code as their medium. Their work includes everything from computer generated art to elaborate interactive installations, all with the goal of expanding our sense of what is possible with digital tools. To simplify the coding process, several platforms and libraries have been assembled to allow coders to cut through the nitty-gritty of programming and focus on the creative aspects of the project. These platforms all share a strong open source philosophy that encourages growth and experimentation, creating a rich community of artists that share their strategies and work with unprecedented openness.

She lives in one of the most densely populated towns in America, and it's reflected in her work which deals with escaping society through the creation of isolated, hand-crafted utopias.

Immersion- documentary art installation

Babinski categorizes the piece as a Mirrored documentary art installation. The final work actually represents 3 films focusing on each country. Each work will be projected simultaneously and individually on 3 panels. The filmmaker intends the audience to be immersed in this visual information arena.

Sound in Context: A History of Noise

This panel discussion seeks to provide context both to MOCAD's music programming for the evening of July 1, 2011 with Hunting Lodge, Lichens and Michael Dec, as well as a broader understanding of the history and context of the music that today's culture has deemed "noise." From Luigi Russolo and the Futurists to John Cage, Anthony Braxton and Lou Reed, and from Les Rallizes Dénudés and the Boredoms to Animal Collective and Wolf Eyes, the history of "music" presented as sound and art has been long and well documented. To a large group of forward thinking artisans the terms music, noise and art are non-exclusive.

This discussion includes artist and musician Davin Brainard from the long running performance art/noise music group Princess Dragon Mom and the art collective/record label TIME STEREO; Cary Loren of highly influential Michigan-based proto-noise band Destroy All Monsters; artist Alivia Zivich who runs the influential noise label AA records and performs as part of the noise ensemble Demons; artist and musician Chip Flynn of the robotic art collective Apetechnology; and Detroit promoter and DJ Greg Baise. This loose conversation and information session is led by Detroit artist and MOCAD Public Program Coordinator Ben Hernandez whose venue Detroit Art Space acted as a hub for the Detroit "noise scene" from 2003-2005. There is also a live presentation of a Luigi Russolo noise machine created and installed by Apetechnology.
