1.1 ACRE FLAT SCREEN by eteam
Documents a yearlong effort to improve a lot of 1.1 Acre in Utah, which was
purchased by eteam, Franziska Lamprecht and Hajoe Moderegger, in September
2004 on eBay. The video begins with how the artist found their lot in the
desert using satellite images, topographical maps, and a compass and
strings. It displays ideas and thoughts on how to improve the land's value
and documents how the artists prepared to face the unforgiving desert. In
August 2003 Franziska and Hajoe went to their lot and stayed for 10 days in
order to stop a nearby running train. Train stops have often been the first
sign of infrastructural improvement and are also an option to make a living
in the desert.

1.1 Acre Flat Screen was shot on mini DV and is 45 minutes in length. It
was selected for the 2004 New York Video Festival, which took place this
past July at Walter Reade Theater.

VECTOR by Jeff Carey
Explores a 5.1 spatialized environment using FFT Analysis of field
recordings made in the natural and urban environments in Singapore and
Malaysia. Jeff Carey writes, "As in culture shock, things initially seem
exotic, but over time they become more understandable as one begins to
normalize the new information." The piece attempts to reconcile the effect
of discovering 'foreign' sounds by incorporating them into synthesis and
compositional procedures to deconstruct and extend them into new sounds.

The title "Vector", while referring to a quantity that possesses both
magnitude and direction also refers to the idea of traveling the distance
from one culture to another.

eteam
Creates site-specific projects, videos and installations. Their work has
been shown at Transmediale 04; EYEBEAM NY; Grizedale Arts, England; Halle
14, Leipzig; ACC, Weimar; and Momenta Gallery, Brooklyn. Past works include
"Quick Click" and "127 Illuminated Windows" at the LMCC World Trade Center
Residency, NY and "Christmas Tree Farm for Self Cutters", Socrates Sculpture
Park, Queens (in collaboration with D. Seiple).

Jeff Carey
Jeff Carey is computer music composer and performer who studied Audio
Technology at American University and Sonology at the Institute for Sonology
of the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. His work has always centered
around system oriented approached to sound production and composition.
Beginning in 1992 with his project "87 Central" his music was centered
no-input mixer occasionally inject acoustic instrument sounds or field
recordings creating layered rich ambient sound.

More recently, Carey has focused his attention on two specific sound making
activities: his participation as computer instrumentalist in the
electro-acoustic ensemble Office-R(6) and his own acousmatic multichannel
computer compositions.

Office-R(6) is an ensemble of international origin (The Netherlands,
Turkey, Norway, USA) and deals primarily with structured yet open form
improvisations overcoming the cliche results of improvisation, slow build to
climax, with systems that demand understanding and concentration from every
player allowing material to be developed and abandoned collectively at any
moment. Not an average
"Jazz" band, Office-R(6) sounds very abstract and sound based rather than
explicitly tonal or clearly rhythmic; "They make music which commands the
listeners most intimate attention." (Anne LaBerge)

His computer compositions strive to distance the composer from the specific
placement of every sound or even the explicit definition of each element
allowing him to construct a piece of music by defining and specifying
generalizations like behavior rather than particularly sequenced sound
events.

In 1996 Carey started radiantslab.com to host record labels and composers,
musicians, and sound artists, as well as online collaborations and a small
mail order cd shop and along with his regular musical activities, Carey has
composed music for dance, short film, television, CD, and DVD releases.
