Audience members operate a trackball to draw lighted dots on a grid. The flashing dots move, and as soon as they come close to the piano they accelerate and strike a key. With the sound of the piano, a three-dimensional figure pops out of the keyboard. The audience-drawn shapes play the actual piano. The sound then produces colors and figures. This is not a digital sound, but the sound of an acoustic piano controlled by computer. Combinations of computer graphics, liberated from the feel and weight of a grand piano, merge and integrate the elements of our real physical body and virtual body, which makes this work truly innovative. 550 Yuko Hasegawa, Selections Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/002409402320774367 by guest on 30 September 2021 Pipilotti Rist, Switzerland Ever Is Over All, 1997 Left: Video installation, Kunsthalle Zürich, 1999 Photo: Alexander Troehler Above: Stills of video installation tape Courtesy Galerie Hauser & Wirth, Zürich and Luhring Augustine, New York Rist positively describes the negative aspects of femininity, which have been rejected by women themselves. She articulates her ideas with weightless images of love, death, everyday life, and fiction. Her unique style is a product of the pliant, sensual relationship between music and video art. Rist is also a band member and has designed the stage sets. Her video installation inspires body awareness in the audience as a totally new experience, different from large video clips shown on a huge screen. In Ever Is Over All, a young woman in a light blue dress merrily walks along the street with a huge, colorful, long-stemmed tropical flower in her hand. She smashes the flower into the windows of parked cars as she passes them. The combination of violent urban fantasy, romantic music, and destructive sound suggests the birth of a sophisticated visual language, expressing the direct, realistic senses of the MTV generation.

Co., Ltd., Random Electronics Design Co., Ltd., Masaki Fujihata, and Kawashima Lab. Co., Ltd. Masaki Fujihata is a media artist and professor at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, Inter-Media Art Department. He started his career as a digital artist for ComputerGraphics and Animations in the early eighties. In the late eighties, he produced Computer Generated Sculpture, and in the early nineties, he entered the field of interactive arts. His networked art piece Global Interior Project received a Golden Nica prize at the Ars Electronica Festival in 1996. His interactive book, Beyond Pages, traveled around the United States and Europe, and was finally installed in the permanent collection of ZKM in 1997. He is one of the pioneers of interactive media art, distinguished with interdisciplinary approaches. Orchisoid was made in 2001 in collaboration with Yuji Dougane, an oceanographer, horticulturist, and chairman of the “Plantron” project. Orchisoid is a compound term, made from the words “orchid” and “-oid” (as in “humanoid”). As “humanoid” expresses something human-like, Orchisoid indicates something orchid-like. The Orchisoid robot considers both the development of robotic technology and the evolution of orchids. By providing the orchid with a means of locomotion, it gives the plant a new natural function. The project’s aim is to find solutions for artifi- cial spaces of the future. Orchid genes have the longest history of all plants. Orchisoid came from the idea of “meme,” the term created by Richard Dawkins indicating “cultural genes.” Fujihata describes it as following: “If we deduce from here the idea that a ‘robot’ is one type of meme that was made by humans, this leads us to a new, tremendously interesting hypothesis. Aren’t memes using us humans to build new vehicles for them?” 552 Yuko Hasegawa, Selections Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/002409402320774367 by guest on 30 September 2021 Mathieu Briand, France SYS*017.ReE.06/PiG-EqN\5*8, 2001 Video glasses, cameras, electronic network Photo by Denis Prisset Mathieu Briand was born in 1972 in Marseille, France, where he currently lives and works. He utilizes computers, electric music instruments, and robots to create new media art and science works. He has shown work at several important international exhibitions including Let’s Entertain, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2000), Lyon Biennale, and Istanbul Biennale (2001). With the use of new technologies, he immerses the spectator deep into the artwork, playing with the spectator’s point of view and questioning the reality of their perceptions. The piece, entitled SYS*017.ReE.06/PiG-EqN\5*8, is a device that allows one person to exchange his or her perception with others. Equipped with a head-mounted display, one sees his or her situated environment through the eyes of a video camera mounted on top of a helmet. He or she is also able to see the perspective of the other spectators wearing the same device. Among six participants, each one is able to change their viewing perspective by pushing a button to swap views with the other participants. The experience calls into question the participants’ self-perception and self-consciousness. Through his work, Briand investigates new relations between body and perception.

Visitors to the project Web site could design ephemeral light sculptures over the National Palace, City Hall, the Cathedral, and the Templo Mayor Aztec ruins. The sculptures, made by 18 xenon searchlights located around the Zócalo Square, could be seen from a 10-mile radius and were sequentially rendered as they arrived over the Net. The Web site featured a 3D-Java interface that allowed participants to make a vectorial design over the city and virtually see it from any point of view. When the project server in Mexico received a submission, it was numbered and entered into a queue. Every six seconds the searchlights would automatically orient themselves and three Webcams would take pictures to document a participant’s design. An archive page was made for each participant with comments, information, and watermarked photos of their design. A notification e-mail message was then sent once the archive Web page was done. Vectorial Elevation received participants from over 89 countries and all the regions of Mexico. To facilitate access, free terminals were also set up in public libraries and museums across the country. The Zócalo’s monumental size makes the human scale seem insignificant–an observation that has been noted by some Mexican scholars as an emblem of a rigid, monolithic, and homogenizing environment. Searchlights themselves have been associated with authoritarian regimes, in part due to the military precedent of anti-aircraft surveillance. Indeed, the Internet itself is the legacy of a military desire for distributed operations control. By ensur- ing that participants were an integral part of the artwork, Vectorial Elevation attempted to establish new creative relationships between control technologies, ominous urban landscapes, and a local and remote public. It was intended to interface the post- geographical space of the Internet with the specific urban reality of the world’s most populous city. NOTE: The searchlights were taken down at 6:30am, January 7, 2000. However, most of the site’s features are still operative, including the 3D interface. The Web site might go live again for future installations in different cities. 554 Yuko Hasegawa, Selections Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/002409402320774367 by guest on 30 September 2021 Hachiya Kazuhiko, Japan PostPet, 1997 E-mail software Direction by Hachiya Kazuhiko, design by Manabe Namie, program by Kouki Takashi PostPet was developed with Sony in 1997. Kazuhiko’s extremely popular program transmits e-mail in the form of a dancing pink bear named Momo (who is nothing more than binary data). Momo was the first pet Kazuhiko created; now there are eight different PostPets, including Mini-Rabbit Mippi and Penguin Ushe. Each “animal” lives in its own room (or electronic space). The pet goes out to deliver a message and doesn’t return until the recipient picks it up. Sometimes a PostPet sends an e-mail to his owner or a frequent correspondent, either intentionally or accidentally. He may get into arguments with someone else’s PostPet, who arrives bearing e-mail for his owner, and these arguments can turn into brawls.

  • MTO 16.3: Takehana, Review of the Social And
    Volume 16, Number 3, August 2010 Copyright © 2010 Society for Music Theory Review of Nicola Dibben, Björk (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2009) Elise O. Takehana KEYWORDS: Nicola Dibben, Björk, Iceland, nationalism, globalism, technology, nature, popular music Received November 2009 [1] Björk Guðmundsdóttir’s works have consistently posed a challenge to pop and art music as well as to those critics who have explored her music. The broad diversity of her approach to media and genre has made her oeuvre particularly enigmatic. Nicola Dibben premises this key trait of Björk’s work, calling her a whole artist who “communicates her ideas through the integrated use of all media at her disposal” ( Dibben 2009 , 23). To uphold such an interpretation of Björk’s work and artistic position, Dibben veers from many previous texts on the pop artist that presuppose a chronological biography as its organizing structure. Instead she adopts a thematic approach to all her artistic projects regardless of genre or release date. She investigates Björk’s critical reception, dividing the book into themes surrounding many of the basic binaries the artist bridges, particularly her understanding of pop/avant-garde, nationalism/globalism, and nature/technology. By providing a concerted and accessible analysis of the artist’s music, Dibben adds a formalist dimension to past critiques of Björk’s work. Dibben’s book provides an in-depth academic treatment of the artist as both a cultural and musical figure of great importance. Björk offers an intriguing case study of the artist and adds to a continued conversation about the role of music in the face of digital utopianism and globalization that will assuredly be a standard for any subsequent study on Björk.

  • 2. Case Study: Anime Music Videos
    2. CASE STUDY: ANIME MUSIC VIDEOS Dana Milstein When on 1 August 1981 at 12:01 a.m. the Buggles’ ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ aired as MTV’s first music video, its lyrics parodied the very media pre- senting it: ‘We can’t rewind, we’ve gone too far, . put the blame on VTR.’ Influenced by J. G. Ballard’s 1960 short story ‘The Sound Sweep’, Trevor Horn’s song voiced anxiety over the dystopian, artificial world developing as a result of modern technology. Ballard’s story described a world in which natu- rally audible sound, particularly song, is considered to be noise pollution; a sound sweep removes this acoustic noise on a daily basis while radios broad- cast a silent, rescored version of music using a richer, ultrasonic orchestra that subconsciously produces positive feelings in its listeners. Ballard was particu- larly criticising technology’s attempt to manipulate the human voice, by con- tending that the voice as a natural musical instrument can only be generated by ‘non-mechanical means which the neruophonic engineer could never hope, or bother, to duplicate’ (Ballard 2006: 150). Similarly, Horn professed anxiety over a world in which VTRs (video tape recorders) replace real-time radio music with simulacra of those performances. VTRs allowed networks to replay shows, to cater to different time zones, and to rerecord over material. Indeed, the first VTR broadcast occurred on 25 October 1956, when a recording of guest singer Dorothy Collins made the previous night was broadcast ‘live’ on the Jonathan Winters Show. The business of keeping audiences hooked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, promoted the concept of quantity over quality: yes- terday’s information was irrelevant and could be permanently erased after serving its money-making purpose.

  • Björk Reaches Beyond the Binaries
    COMMUNICATOR BETWEEN WORLDS: BJÖRK REACHES BEYOND THE BINARIES Edwin F. Faulhaber A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2008 Committee: Kimberly Coates, Advisor Robert Sloane ii ABSTRACT Kimberly Coates, Advisor Icelandic pop star Björk has spent her career breaking down boundaries, blurring lines, and complicating binaries between perceived opposites. Examining a variety of both primary and secondary sources, this study looks at the ways that Björk challenges the binary constructions of “high” and “low” art, nature and technology, and feminism and traditional femininity, and also proposes that her uniquely postmodern approach to blurring boundaries can be a model for a better society in general. This study contends that Björk serves as a symbol of what might be possible if humans stopped constructing boundaries between everything from musical styles to national borders, and as a model for how people can focus on their commonalities while still respecting the freedom of individual expression. This is particularly important in the United States of America, a place where despite its infinite potential for cultural pluralism and collaboration, there are as many (or more) divisions between people based upon race, class, gender, and religion as anywhere else in the world. iii Dedicated to Morgaine iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my committee, Dr. Kim Coates and Rob Sloane, for all of their suggestions and encouragement while I wrote this thesis. I would also like to thank Dr. Don McQuarie and Gloria Enriquez Pizana for their support and assistance, as well as a host of wonderful professors who laid the groundwork for this thesis by inspiring me along the way: Rob, Kim, Drs.
