Duncan Robinson 4 Abstract: Inside the video player, spools spin, sensors read and heads rotate, generating an analogue signal from the videotape running through the system to the monitor. Within this electro mechanical space there is opportunity for intervention. Its accessibility allows direct manipulation to take place, creating imagery on the tape as pre-recorded signal of black burst1 without sound rolls through its mechanisms. The actual physical contact, manipulation of the tape, the moving mechanisms and the resulting images are the essence of the variable electrical space within which the analogue video signal is generated. In a way similar to the methods of the Musique Concrete pioneers, or EISENSTEIN's refinement of montage, I have explored the physical possibilities of machine intervention. I am working with what could be considered the last traces of analogue - audiotape was superseded by the compact disc and the videotape shall eventually be replaced by 2 digital video • For me, analogue is the space inside the video player.

  • Schaumparty Für Gaza
    # 2011/30 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2011/30/schaumparty-fuer-gaza Über die Kosmetikfirma Lush und einen antiisraelischen Popsong Schaumparty für Gaza Von Udo Wolter »Freedom for Palestine« fordert ein britischer Popsong, der Stimmung gegen die Politik Israels machen will. Was haben Desmond Tutu, Alice Walker, Coldplay, Roger Waters, Ken Loach, Julie Christie, Massive Attack, Benjamin Zephaniah und die Kosmetikfirma Lush gemeinsam?« wurde in einem Online-Artikel der Mediengruppe al-Arabiya aus Dubai Ende Juni gefragt. Eigentlich ahnt man es schon, denn einige der Genannten sind bereits durch ihre Unterstützung der Gaza-Flottille oder durch antiisraelische Boykottaufrufe aufgefallen. Im aktuellen Fall geht es darum, dass sie den Anfang Juli in Großbritannien vorgestellten Song »Freedom for Palestine« bewerben, der von al-Arabiya ­gelobt wird. Aber was bitte hat die Kosmetikfirma Lush in diesem Kreis zu suchen? Die auch in Deutschland mit zahlreichen Filialen vertretene internationale Kette »Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics« ist nicht irgendeine Kosmetikfirma. Ihre Badekugeln, Shampoos, Bodylotions und Seifen sollen weitgehend vegan und aus natürlichen Inhaltsstoffen produziert werden. Das Unternehmen gibt sich ökologisch und politically correct und umwirbt mit dem Versprechen des »Handgemachten« und Authentischen sowie mit der Beteiligung an »ethischen« Kampagnen eine ökologiebewusste, globalisierungskritische und links fühlen­de Klientel. Von der durch Gewerkschaften und Beschäftigte vorgebrachten Kritik an den Arbeitsbedingungen im Unternehmen ließ sich die Kundschaft bisher allerdings nicht abschrecken. So berichtete die Financial Times Deutschschland über den vom Unternehmen ausgerufenen »Go naked Day«, an dem die Beschäftigten aufgefordert wurden, an einer Demonstration gegen Verpackungsmüll in München teilzunehmen. Lediglich mit einer Schürze bekleidet, marschierten die Mitarbeiter im Auftrag von Lush durch die Straßen.

  • 394 GLOSSARY Acid Jazz Late 1980S and 1990S
    GLOSSARY Acid Jazz Late 1980s and 1990s trend where “London fashion victims created their own early seventies-infatuated bohemia by copying jazz-funk records of the era note by note.”1 Associated with DJ Giles Peterson, acid jazz combined jazz and funk influence with electronica to produce a “danceable” version of jazz. Some of the most prominent British artists associated with acid jazz include are the band 4Hero, producer Ronny Jordan, and the James Taylor Quartet (the last of which at one point included Nitin Sawhney.) Ambient Music intended to create a particular atmosphere. Brian Eno, considered a pioneer of the genre, notes, “One of the most important differences between ambient music and nearly any other kind of pop music is that it doesn’t have a narrative structure at all, there are no words, and there isn’t an attempt to make a story of some kind.”2 Ambient music often substitutes distinct melodies and rhythmic patterns for a wash of sound. Some prominent British artists during the 1990s include The Orb, KLF, Mixmaster Morris and Aphex Twin. Bhangra Bhangra originated as a male folk dance in Punjab to accompany the harvest festival, Baisakhi. It is still performed as a folk dance and may be identified by its characteristic swinging rhythm played on the dhol and dholki, double-sided barrel drums. From the late 1970s onwards, Punjabi immigrants in Britain began to fuse with electronic dance styles including house music and later hip-hop.3 These styles produced a distinct genre of music that was recognized as one of the first prominent examples of British Asian youth culture.
