Visited Hybrid Matter symposium<\/a> at TeaK last Thursday.\u00a0Jennifer Gabrys<\/a>\u00a0gave a talk\u00a0concerning animals as sensors. She referenced projects that had embedded animals with sensory technologies to collect data on\u00a0weather conditions, migration routes etc. The approach is of interest\u00a0for our Trans-Horse project. We’ve investigated the possibility to set the horse’s views and environmental requirements\u00a0as a premise of urban planning in hopes of crafting more environmentally engaged and versatile environments. Gabrys\u00a0approach was critical and she argued the majority of animal aided data is used to confirm human perceptions. She is currently working in a project called citizensense.net<\/a>. Her talk gave me the idea to use the horse care-journals of the Mounted police of Helsinki as data to study city development!<\/p>\n

Steen Rasmussen gave an interesting talk about BINC economics (bio-, info-, nano- and cogno.). His talk was a useful reminder of the historical importance of the middle class: The\u00a0empowered, wealthy and democratic\u00a0middle class of the last century was\u00a0a unique historical glitch and automation of labor is it’s biggest threat. He was optimistic about 3d printing and other “new” manufacturing technologies and urged the audience to engage with new technologies open mindedly. Unfortunately many new\u00a0technologies categorically renunciate agency of the makers. This\u00a0renunciation is embedded in modern worldviews \u2013 Factories and 3d printers are equally bad! There are no new technologies.. New tools fuel\u00a0the same old colonization. After the symposiums I came across the concept of Critical Making<\/a>\u00a0which I’ll have to study more. Critical Making\u00a0seems to fit many Ore.e Refineries projects neatly.<\/p>\n

On Friday I joined a dinner organized by the Union for Rural Culture and Education<\/a>. The dinner completed my involvement\u00a0with the Grey Cube Gallery project. I was seated next to P\u00e4ivi and sound artist Petri Kuljuntausta. Kuljuntausta was kind enough to\u00a0share\u00a0field recording\u00a0techniques and motivated\u00a0me to continue with sonic experimentations. We talked about the Ihme audio-guide project I completed last spring and he had some ideas\u00a0on whom to contact concerning the future\u00a0of the project. I had to leave the dinner early as I rushed to Turku. On\u00a0the buss I read some of Kuljuntaustas texts on sound art<\/a>. He has used<\/a>\u00a0a KaossPad in his live setup.<\/p>\n

In Turku I met with Jesse and we made 232\u00a0separate machine\/tool sounds and\u00a0two binaural recording at his smithy (The binaural equipment is on loan from Circus Maximus). The recording went\u00a0as planned<\/a>\u00a0and we worked on site for eight hours. The majority of the sounds are high pitched and we’ll possibly make additional recordings next year. Jesse had the idea of fitting the smithys floor with piezo microphones, so that we could hear the bottom end sounds. We’ll likely call this\u00a0sample-pack “Sound of Work: Blacksmith vol.1”. I’ll demo the sounds for Jesse next weekend.<\/p>\n

I’m meeting students from the Kankaanp\u00e4\u00e4 Art School online this week to discuss\u00a0their upcoming graduate exhibition and art projects. Also met with Antoine Pickels concerning possible Trans-Horse engagements next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
