Criticando l’atteggiamento intellettuale di passiva analisi critica dell’accademismo odierno, tale pensiero ha spinto all’esigenza di ripensare, con una prospettiva rivolta al nuovo, alla possibilità di cambiare ciò che Adam Curtis ha chiamato hyper normalization. Ancor prima di parlare di tecnologia, l’Accelerazionismo apre gli occhi sull’attività che scandisce e definisce la nostra quotidianità: il lavoro.

  • Textual Spectacle: the Transmedial Storyworld of Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto
    The Concept Album as Visual-Sonic- Textual Spectacle: The Transmedial Storyworld of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto Lori Burns University of Ottawa [email protected] Abstract This paper studies the elaboration of the concept album by means of multimodal promotional strategies that include the concert tour, music videos, books, as well as other digital and print materials. Adopting the perspective that the meaning of a concept album emerges in and through a potentially complex network of materials, we can receive and understand concept album storytelling to operate according to multimedial, intermedial and transmedial contexts. This study examines the transmedial storyworld of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto concept spectacle as it is developed in and through the material content of the original album, the Coldplay: Live 2012 (Coldplay 2012c) concert film, as well as the paraphonographic materials that extend Mylo Xyloto into a variety of media. KEYWORDS: Concept album, spectacle, multimodality, intermediality, transmediality Introduction In the context of the new millennial industry of popular music, artists from a variety of genres rely heavily upon current technologies and social media platforms to develop elaborate promotional strategies, thus expanding the idea of the concept album to the concert tour, music videos, books, and a range of supplementary materials. With such an approach, the concept album can be seen to extend across multiple media formats in supplementary materials and live IASPM@Journal vol.6 no.2 (2016) Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music ISSN 2079-3871 | DOI 10.5429/2079-3871(2016)v6i2.6en | www.iaspmjournal.net 92 Lori Burns performances.

  • Silent Stage Qwartz (P.8-9) WART Z Live Set Privés Au Casque Pour 50 Personnes Max
    Le QWARTZ PRIX DU GÉNIE MUSICAL PIERRE HENRY GrimaldiOrélie De l’autre côté de la musique Pour commencer, puisqu’il faut bien, on pourrait évoquer ce qu’est une rencontre et en particulier celle-ci. Qu’est-ce donc de rencontrer Pierre Henry et sa musique ? A n’en pas douter une émotion singulière pour ne pas dire rare que certains ont pu vivre au cœur de l’église Saint-Eustache ou ailleurs. Et là, on se rend compte que le verbe entendre ne suffit déjà plus pour fixer cet instant. Disons alors l’aventure que fut « La bête ». Mais s’exposer au travers de cet artiste ce n’est pas invoquer Pierre Henry et son génie. Oui, osons ce terme puisque le prix l’indique déjà. Et Pierre Henry fait partie de ces rares personnes où les détours sont proscrits. Ainsi, n’en prenons pas pour « dire » et honorer son geste. Puisqu’avant même la musique, l’œuvre de Pierre Henry fut une nouvelle syntaxe, une grammaire peut-être, et toujours une absolue modernité. Pierre Henry arpente depuis des décennies un silence et on imagine qu’il lui rend ses bruits. Il est en quelque sorte son hors champs et sa quête. On suppose que sa musique procède d’une insuffisance plus que d’une insatisfaction. Il manque toujours quelque chose et à ce quelque chose. A ce manque Pierre Henry lui peint ses mots. N’est-ce pas le signe des créateurs de génie de nous emporter dans un autre langage, de nous détourner de notre imaginaire et ainsi de transformer notre vision du monde ? Et, de cette lumière aux allures de foudre, ce monde en a besoin.

Reddy's practice aims to catalyze spiritual catharsis through aesthetic encounter, drawing on his parallel professional practice as a healer. The Tabernacle, his installation at MOCAD, incarnates a sacred space within the secular walls of the museum, problematizing the physical and conceptual demarcation between holy and profane. PERFORMANCE: True East PERFORMANCE: The Sound of My Voice FAMILY DAY: Sandpainting and Mandala Making Video interview with the artist FINAL WEEKS ­ CLOSING SOON James Lee Byars: I Cancel All My Works At Death On view through May 4, 2014 I Cancel All My Works at Death is the first comprehensive survey of the plays, actions, and performances of James Lee Byars (Detroit 1932 ­ Cairo 1997). Spanning the period from 1960 (when he created his first action in Kyoto, Japan) to 1981 (when de Appel arts centre in Amsterdam presented a year­long survey), the exhibition, which is titled after Byars' now­famous speech act, adopts the premise that the artist and his work are better mis­remembered than re­experienced. I Cancel All My Works at Death therefore presents none of his actual performances; nor does it include objects made, owned, or used by him, nor vintage ephemera­­with the exception of obituaries published in newspapers at the time of his death.
