‘Map Series’ is a performance-installation on colonialism, in which the artist considers her identity as a Portuguese citizen facing a post-colonial context. In this performance-installation, Mendes stitches old paper maps of the former colonies stitches old paper maps of the former German colonies using a sewing machine. From Namibia to the Samoa islands, see the rise and fail of an empire. Part experiment, part musical composition, Map Series makes you to think: what is an empire today?

Jeremy Woodruff and Susanne Matsche - New recordings of India
Festival syllabaries: New recordings of India
Opening, Saturday 21.05 at 7pm
Finissage, Friday 27.05 at 7pm
Errant Bodies
Kollwitzstrasse 97
10435 Berlin
An exhibition and presentation of sound and experience in Chennai, India from Jeremy Woodruff and Susanne Matsche, new works exhibited from Nakul Krishnamurthy, Sukanyan Sunthareswaran, and Zeeshan Nabi.
Jeremy Woodruff and Susanne Matsché offer reflections on 20 months of living in India with sounds and images recorded there; how life and time is differently manifested with a series of festivals as markers of social life; how time flows differently through a round syllabary.
Days after the Assembly Election in Tamil Nadu, work by representatives of a new generation of young Indian composers and artists will be presented, former students of the KM Music Conservatory, that each contend in different ways with the current political climate in India under the BJP government and in Tamil Nadu under the AIADMK. Sounds of election booths from a few days ago, sounds of rickshaws, sounds of vendors and funeral processions are featured, among others. Jeremy Woodruff presents the collaborative blog: “Chennaisonic”
Lastly, “Ninnu-kori”, a transcription of eight versions of the same South Indian composition in Mohanam Raga will be premiered in an electronic version. A second graphic realisation shows the way some patterns of Tamil speech echo this particular raga.
Admission free; donations welcome.

Die 2012 gegründete Veranstaltungsreihe WUNDERBLOCK. Gespräche über Bilder ist ein Diskussionsforum zu Formen und Funktionen von Bildern in Kunst und Gesellschaft. Vor dem Hintergrund einer Auffassung vom Menschen als homo pictor, als bildbegabtes Wesen, wird der Bildbegriff möglichst umfassend und quer zu allen Genres, Medien und Zeiten in seinen identitätsstiftenden, künstlerischen und gesellschaftlichen Dimensionen behandelt.
Am 13. Mai spricht Andreas Rauth mit Cornelia und Holger Lund über Theorie und Praxis des zeitgenössischen Feldes audiovisueller Kunstproduktion, der Landscapes of Sound & Image.

Introduction: Antje Vowinckel
Despite his extensive oeuvre of more than 40 radio art pieces he still seems to be a hidden hero. We will listen to
The Dreams, one of the first pieces with an experimental use of speech fragments, Radioville. Metropolis London,
an unusual city soundscape based on sounds of the London Tube and Moviola, based on sound bites of film reels
processed in an old "moviola", a device for analogue film editing. (For these pieces no German is required)
Barry Bermange was born in London 1933, where he still lives. He developed his first radio pieces in the BBC Radiophonic
Barry Bermange was born in London 1933, where he still lives. He developed his first radio pieces in the BBC Radiophonic
workshop. His work became more and more musical and abstract. Many of his pathbreaking pieces were produced in Germany by WDR and SWR. Three times he was awarded with the renowned Karl-Sczuka-Preis for radio art.

A travers le savon - Extended translation with sound, image, gestures and smell - Performance by Ines Lechleitner
Ate feat. Ed D.: obey God - presented by Serge Baghdassarians and Boris Baltschun
Discussion with participants, moderation: Marcus Gammel
-
In her lecture performance 'À travers le savon' Ines Lechleitner explores the everyday object of Die Seife, the soap,
through smell, texture, repetition and associations. The process of metamorphosis began through the reading of
Francis Ponge's book 'Le Savon' and his detailed descriptions and excessive treatment of the soap "…einem lächerlichen
Gegenstand, der endlos schäumt." In the slide show Zitronen-Wal-Seife the soap becomes a lemon which becomes
a whale in order to turn into a soap and disappear.
Serge Baghdassarians and Boris Baltschun present their latest radio piece Ate feat. Ed D.: obey God. It will be the
premiere of the reworked English language version. Furthermore their installation Memory Palace will be on display
in the basement space. Ate feat. Ed D.: obey God is a radio play based on a single sentence and it’s evanescent
character. This character with a 4-letter name is brought to life with the help of soundtracks of video tutorials,
religious movies, talkshows, an interview and a singing text-to-speech system. Memory Palace is an installation
conceived for a 'movie theatre' where the usual screen is replaced by a circle of modified guitar tuners with led
displays. In reference to a common mnemonic of the standard guitar tuning these tuners simultaneously symbolize
the circular structure of the sentence and the recurring (and potentially endless) need to tune.

Sonifikation in der Musik
Jour-Fixe: berliner gesellschaft für neue musik
Sonifikation in der Musik
15. April 2016 / 19.00 Uhr
Errant Bodies Sound Art Space
Kollwitzstrasse 97
10435 Berlin
www.errantbodies.org
die Künstlerin Jutta Ravenna gibt einen Überblick in die Methoden von Sonifikation und stellt unterschiedliche künstlerische Ansätze vor. Präsentiert werden u.a. Arbeiten von Alvin Lucier, Florian Dombois, Julian Klein und Wanda Liz Diaz.
Anschließend wird es bei einem Glas Wein die Möglichkeit zur Diskussion geben.
Sonifikation lässt sich herleiten von lat.: „sonus“:“Klang“ und „fikation“ von lat. „facere“: „machen“, also „zum Klang machen“. Der Begriff bezeichnet Verfahren zur Verklanglichung von Daten.
Klangbeispiel Sonifikation:
Sonifikation des Kometen 76P/Chryumov-Gerasimenko, Manuel Senfft 2015
Rosetta’s Plasma Consortium (RPC) has uncovered a mysterious ‘song’ that Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is singing into space. The comet seems to be emitting a ‘song’ in the form of oscillations in the magnetic field in the comet’s environment. It is being sung at 40-50 millihertz, far below human hearing, which typically picks up sound between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. To make the music audible to the human ear, the frequencies have been increased in this recording.
Original data credit: ESA/Rosetta/RPC/RPC-MAG. This sonification of the RPC-Mag data was compiled by German composer Manuel Senfft (www.tagirijus.de).
- Welche innovativen Formen hat die kompositorische Auseinandersetzung mit Sonifikation in der Zeitgenössischen Musik hervorgebracht?
- Was fangen die Komponisten mit diesen neuen Möglichkeiten an? Wodurch werden Sonifikationsverfahren über Komponisten und Klangkünstler zum Artefakt?

What’s the difference between a pirate and a privateer? It’s not the act, it’s the authority. Only the privateer – who seems to be acting purely on his own initiative – has the papers authorizing him to do so. The histories of broadcasting and maritime law are closely intertwined, as we can tell from their similar forms of organization. Radio has its public and private branches, and its pirate ones too. But these clear distinctions are no longer valid in today’s radio landscape. Podcasts, web archives and the internet have caused shifts in content types, listening areas, audiences and jurisdictions. So is something being commandeered? If so, how? And most importantly, what?

Opening 15th March, 19h00 with performance 'Map Series', by Ana Mendes
Opening times: 15-19h00
Errant Bodies
Kollwitzstrasse 97
10435 Berlin
The idea of invasion can be spoken about in abstract and concrete terms: the literal denial of entry into a country and the perception of individuals as outsiders combined with the psychological rupture that occurs when one is denied the opportunity to build an identity, nationality and memories. For those who do not have a past, the only possible future lies in-between the fantasy of alienation or the nostalgia of their origins.
Gathering together artists originally from Portugal, Austria, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Argentina, Jamaica and Australia, who work in performance, object, photography, video and installation, ‘Lintru (Invaders)’ aims to question these potent issues: postcolonialism, personal and collective memory, narration and identity. It not only asks who the invaders are, it also speaks of the personal narratives that these forces provoke within the individual.
performance program:
19th March, 17h00 (doors open 16h00)
performances by Ana Mendes, Zwoisy Mears-Clarke, Jasmin Schaitl and Plants and Empire.
Lage Egal - Danziger Strasse 145 10407 Berlin
performance public space:
Mauer Park, 20th March, 12h00.
'In Memoriam', by Israel Martinez - a sound piece dealing with loss and memory, in which the artist recorded written messages found in Jardines del Humaya, an extravagant cemetery in Culiacán, Mexico. Bring your mp3-player, iphone or ipod and headphones and join us for a performance that overlaps the memory of Berlin with the original site in Mexico.
Meeting point: Mauer Park, wall area with big swings.

Was unterscheidet den Piraten vom Kaperer? Nicht die Tat, sondern die Befugnis. Nur der Kaperer (engl. privateer), der scheinbar aus purem Eigensinn handelt, ist qua Dokument auch dazu befugt. Die Geschichte des Rundfunks ist eng mit derjenigen des Seerechts verquickt, was sich unter anderem auch in den verwandten Organisationsformen niederschlägt. Das Radio und seine öffentlich-rechtlichen, privaten sowie piratistischen Ableger. Diese klaren Abgrenzungen gelten jedoch in der aktuellen Radiolandschaft nicht mehr. Durch Internet, Podcast und Webarchive verschieben sich inhaltliche Kategorien, Sendegebiete, Zuhörerschaften und Zuständigkeiten. Bleibt die Frage, ob und wie und vor allem was gekapert wird?
Pirate/Public widmet sich an vier Abenden diesen und anderen Fragen und lädt dazu in den Errant Bodies Sound Art Space ein.
