Join me at Opsound's Open Sound Exchange, Art Interactive Gallery, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Oct 14-Dec 11, 2004

Hello friends,

Opsound is in residence this fall at Art Interactive gallery in
Cambridge, Massachusetts & I'd love to see you.

Beginning October 14, Opsound will be part of Glowlab's "Open Lab",
an exhibition and festival of psychogeographic explorations
headquartered at Art Interactive. Opsound will be collecting and
generating a sound portrait of Cambridge and Boston through
recordings in the gallery, sound gathering walks through various
neighborhoods, and via contributions from sound artists and musicians
over the internet. All the collected material will be broadcast as a
24/7 internet radio stream – a special edition of the 'opstream' –
that will grow throughout the exhibition.

I'll be in residence several weekends of the show, and I'd be
delighted if you stopped by to have some coffee, chat, contribute
sounds, and walk with me through interesting parts of the city.

Musicians and sound artists are invited to add their sounds to the
project.

Opsound's "Open Sound Exchange: Boston" is gathering material for an
open pool of sounds relating to the city. Boston real and Boston
imaginary, Boston past and Boston now: yelling cabbies, Rat new wave,
Fenway Park crowds, sunday afternoon string quartets, harbor noises,
sidewalk folk singers, Composers in Red Sneakers new music, banker
high heels, museum whispers, Media Lab algorithms, Big Dig
construction, student arias. every city is a world of sound – help
discover Boston's by creating a kaleidoscopic sonic portrait.
Contributions can include work from, about, or inspired by the idea
of Boston. Boston sounds, including field recordings from various
parts of the city, are already in the pool and available for remixing.

Glowlab: Open Lab
Curated by Christina Ray
A nine-week-long psychogeography festival and exhibition

In Fall 2005, Art Interactive is conducting a nine-week-long
experiment. We have invited artists affiliated with Glowlab, a
network of psychogeographers, to use the Central Square neighborhood
as the site of their research and fill the exhibition space with the
results of their investigations. PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY, a term coined by
the Situationist International in the 1950s and appropriated by
contemporary artists, is used to describe projects that produce
affect in relation to the geographic environment. Rather than making
maps in the traditional geographic sense, these artists utilize maps
and geography to conduct located experiments with (among other
things) people, trash, bikes, clothes, the sky and the gallery space
itself. Often making use of mobile technologies and existing in the
hybrid spaces of the Internet and the physical world, their projects
produce new understandings of location and identity as shifting,
fluid, singular and irreducible.

Central Square, Cambridge, MA, will never be the same again. Join us
for nine weeks of public walks, talks, tours, workshops, concerts,
group bike rides, and other ways of exploring the Central Square
neighborhood. Each weekend of the festival, different Glowlab artists
will be present to lead participatory public events inside and
outside the Art Interactive space. Visit the online schedule at
http://www.artinteractive.org/calendar for more details about
upcoming events or email [email protected].
