day 5: ... In the end of the process

The workshop now is soon finish. Each is working at a place where install outside her/his artwork. We are here in the park of the Birka Folkhögskola and we think distirbute some several spots between the park and the beach. I sent some weeks ago some announces in several mail list and now some journalists need to have some details about it. I think this workshop with this other workshop about geotagging too are introducing a way how to work with the art, the media and also how to raise questions about a eco-system art. I m thinking at this idea also and maybe because the new technology is often associated at the computer art directly. It s not art and science either here but more another way to cross tools and environnment. How environment and art can work and what we can realize without to speak only about a nature?

Day 5/dag 5: drift wood in blog ocean

While waiting for a change in things... electronics, minds, nature, apetite... i took a while to google the workshop and found two sites/blogs that announces about new media art events and artist, the first Networked Performance has this international call out on their blog: http://turbulence.org/blog/ and annother i never saw beofre has different international calls for art workshops and related on GER GER Media Artists .

Day 4 - Parabolic Antenna

We checked with each if the electronic work and how each want to organize this electronic with other material - sound message recorded, stone sound texture, led and noise, parabolic antenna..
I m working now at my own electronic element to install this parabolic antenn inside other material recycled like a half sphere ball, solar energy connection, and the global installation with the headphones or-and speaker.
I was thinking at a dirty beach to expose and do a short performance with some clothes and led connected too in my installation zone and work at this "warning zone".

Utomhustest / Out door test

Så här långt hade jag kommit igår. Stenarna har fått sina platser och blivit uppkopplade till en makapär som gör att man kan lyssna på deras tankar... Min väska/trädgård blir ett slags experimentellt laboratorium. Man sticker in händerna i de båda hålen och när man så rör vid stenarna kan man höra deras tankar i ett par hörlurar. Jag har även hittat en plats där jag ska placera konstverket. (För vernissagen på lördag.)

This is my work so far. The stones have been placed and are also wired to a machine-thingie that enables you to listen to their thoughts... My bag/garden will be kind of an experimental laboratory. You use the two holes formed by the handles and when the stones are touched you can listen to the thoughts in a couple of ear phones. I have also found a location for my art work. (For the exhibition Saturday.)

Day 3 - dag 3, a blog, a week, a workshop

Day 3 of the workshop and many things progress but many things do not progress at same time. My garden is still in early conceptual stage... and so far I managed to solder one circuitboard and draw one sketch about the some physical placements of some objects in the soil. I think everything will work out fine though and there is still time... rain and a grey sky was making this wednesday a day when car batteries and other things worked as they use to in better weather.
***
Dag 3 på workshopen och många saker går framåt men många saker går inte framåt på samma gång. Min trädgård är fortfarande på ett tidigt konceptuellt stadium... och hittills har jag lött ett kretskort och gjort en sketch kring placeringen av några detaljer i jorden. Jag tror att allt kommer lösa sig och det finns fortfarande tid... regn och en grå himmel gjorde den här onsdagen till dag då bilbatterier och andra saker inte fungerade som de brukar i bättre väder.
