08/23 @ 8:00pm - Share – featured guest El Lazo Invisible

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

Tonight’s feature guest:

EL LAZO INVISIBLE

José Ignacio López Ramírez-Gastón (a.k.a El Lazo Invisible) has been a sound artist and producer working in the border region San Diego/Tijuana since 1998. He was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1968, and since then has lived in different countries, spending most of his youth in Lima, Peru. He is the founder of the record label Discos Invisibles, a project that works on the generation of public spaces for alternative sound arts; and Dinet, a netlabel dedicated primarily to promote the work of experimental musicians in Latin-America. He is a graduate student of Computer Music at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and a researcher at the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA). His research work involves the study of those cultural strategies unique to the Latin-American environment and the application of technology in a way that represents its users.
