LA - "Looney Tunes" (10/06/06)

Live Multimedia Performance by Peter Greenaway.

September 28, 2006 - 12:36 a.m. PDT - Amsterdam, Netherlands

Film auteur, Peter Greenaway performed a sensational VJ set at Picnic '06. Mixing footage from the Tulse Luper Suitcases movies, we were stunned by the nimble live mixing and looping of his arresting images. It was as much an aural delight as it was visual with a DJ on hand adding heavy beats and emotional pulses to the performance. I feel fortunate to have experienced it all, three feet away from the master himself. More photographs here. Two short films of Peter Greenaway in action:

NYC - New York Tokyo Music Festival 2006 (09/30/06)

New York Tokyo Music Festival 2006

NYC - "subtractions, modifications, addenda, and other recent contributions to participatory culture" (09/29/06 - 11/04/06)

Cory Arcangel (Beige)
subtractions, modifications, addenda, and other recent contributions to participatory culture
29 September through 04 November 2006

Team is pleased to announce that it will inaugurate its SoHo space with an exhibition of new work by Cory Arcangel. The exhibition, entitled subtractions, modifications, addenda, and other recent contributions to participatory culture, will run from the 29th of September through the 4th of November 2006. The gallery is located at 83 Grand Street, cross streets Wooster and Greene, on the ground floor.

For his second solo show at Team, Cory Arcangel continues his practice of tweaking old data. Gone, however, are the Nintendo and Atari Game systems — replaced instead by Richard Linklater’s stoner classic Dazed and Confused, Guns and Roses’ tune Sweet Child O’ Mine, the Beatles’ vaunted appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, Bruce Springsteen’s legendary Born to Run LP and Dennis Hopper’s 80s cop drama Colors. What Arcangel has done with each of these texts focuses our attention not on the replaceability of contemporary cultural production, but on its adaptability, fertility, and resilience.

I guess we won't be tasting this local fare. I do like the concept of grabbing ready-made food to go, but I guess, this fast food stoner joint, Febo is a no go.

Le Cimetière du Père-Lachaise.

September 25, 2006 - 8:45 a.m. PDT - Paris, France

Père-Lachaise Cemetery is one of my favorite places to visit in Paris, yet in the past 16 years of visiting the City of Lights, I've only made the tomb trek twice, once in 1992 and now in 2006. Not much has changed in 14 years. The grounds are still magnificent, the trees are dense and aged, the fanatics with endless knowledge of who's where, are creepy as ever. It's the kind of place over shadowed by Jim Morrison's presence, yet, enhanced by it as well. Please do yourself a favor and drop in the next time you're in town. It's free. If not to see the beautiful tombs, go for a walk and remember how grand life is!

Cross Media Week - Picnic '06!

If every conference I attended had advertisements as clever and funny as this one, it would sure make touring the conference circuit more pleasant. I'm super looking forward to Picnic '06, Amsterdam's "new annual event focused on creativity in cross media content and technology, specifically in the fields of entertainment and communication".

Friends in Europe, holler if you're going to be there! Let's meet up.
