Share – featured guests Matt Pass + o.blaat (Keiko Uenishi)

what is Share?

SHARE is first and foremost a platform to explore expression, in a variety of artforms. Through its weekly open jam sessions, SHARE.nyc engages its participants and spectators in a continually changing dialog on art and culture. As such, SHARE represents an ongoing exploration of collaborative performance as cultural exchange. It mines the relationship of artistic practice to cultural identity, remapping a multiplicity of cultural discourses. The act of creating artistic content in a multicultural collaborative context is a fascinating and natural extension of the SHARE concept.

Share is an open jam, not just for digirati, but for all new culture lovers. Participants bring their portable equipment, plug into our system, improvise on each others’ signal and perform live audio and video. We furnish the amplification and projection. Share happens every Sunday.

open jams and walk-in sets — Bring your equipment/instruments/gear etc. to join the jam!

audio jam: Prepared and spontaneous music from eight plus simultaneous performers. This is the time and place to perform a piece of music you’ve written and hear it on a large sound system, improvise spontaneously with other participants, get feedback on your latest project or try out that new max patch/software setup. Bring your noise maker of choice and an XLR, quarter-inch or RCA cable to join.

video jam: multi-user live video synthesis. Generating an immersive visual environment, in the SHARE tradition, in which multiple participants are able to jointly compose the video output. Try out and learn about new VJ wetware. As with the audio, walk-in sets are encouraged. Bring your clips or camera or laptop/amiga and VGA, S-Video, or RCA cables to join

8pm, free —

o.blaat (Keiko Uenishi) is extremely happy & honored to be invited to join Matt to play together tonight!

Based in Brooklyn, New York, sound artivist, social composer, and a core member of SHARE (http://share.dj), o.blaat (Keiko Uenishi) is known for her works formed through experiments in restructuring and analyzing one’s relationship with sounds in sociological, cultural, and/or psychological environments.

In recent years, to explore in the field of aural perceptions, o.blaat created “Car décalé (légèrement)”, a series of feedback performance work. Its extended version, instal-action project ‘Landfilles (dis)-play waste’ in collaboration with Katherine Liberovskaya, premiered at Experimental Intermedia in June 2009. Her ceaseless curiosity on the subject of ‘leaked sounds’ and neighbor issues, also triggered her to create an installation “SOUNDLEAK: TheROOM” at Medien Kultur Haus, Wels, Austria in April, 2009.

Uenishi’s future project includes ‘Border Game’ for Fronte[i]ras2 festival at a border of Spain and Portugal in autumn 2010.
