Amsterdam 09.18.2008 – Sound Museum


September 18 2008


Soundmuseum.FM was officially launched September 14th,

ABOUT THE DEPOT / ARCHIVE
The first group of artists targeted was the networks of Remco Schuurbiers and Janet Leyton-Grant. Soundartists from all over the world were contacted with an invitation to contribute to the soundmuseum depot. And the reactions have been amazing. It seemed as though the soundmuseum was longed for, as though it’s filling a need.

Hundreds of artists have sent us works, with more pieces arriving all the time. Barbara Morgenstern, Anne Welmer, Telco Systems, Planningtorock, Carsten Nicolai and many others are working on or planning contributions. We’re looking forward seeing Soundmuseum grow and seeing the depth and quality of the archive build as it continues to enrich itself. This is only the beginning.

i8u |CHiKA present: Infinity02

i8u and CHiKA
Infinity02, 2008 (30:38 min)
Unlimited or unmeasurable in extent of space, duration of time: the infinite nature of the fabric of space. CHiKA uses minimal objects in two-dimensional space to create a video work invoking the feeling of the unlimited possibilities, approaching the unmeasureable nature of the infinite. I8u’s soundscapes inspired by the concept of string theory mirror our limited understanding and imagination of these strings as they slip in and out of the dimensions we are aware of. The audio and visual moves from a closed world with perspective as its corresponding symbolic form.

France Jobin aka i8u is a sound/installation/web artist residing in Montreal, Canada. i8u’s audio art can be qualified as “sound-sculpture.” It reveals powerful, opaque and complex sound environments where analog and digital meet. Her installation/web art can be said to follow a parallel path, incorporating both musical and visual elements.
