AUDiNT: Dead Record Office
June 17โJuly 23, 2011
Opening this Friday , June 17th, at Art In General.
79 Walker Street | New York, NY 10013
Art in General is pleased to present Dead Record Office, a New Commission project by AUDiNT. The researchers currently active within the AUDiNT research cell are Jon Cohrs(splnlss.com), Toby Heys(cocosolidciti.com) and Steve Goodman(hyperdub.com), whose combined practices include music production and performance, sonic installation, academic research, and writing. For their first exhibition in New York, AUDiNT have produced a multi-sensory installation which brings together a number of their research techniques, softwares, sound systems, and archives for the first time; a culmination of decades worth of investigative analysis into the trans-historical orchestration of the soundscape.
In short, it’s a show about sonic warfare with several custom built tools that explores theories surrounding hauntology and the history of sound used as a tool for deceit.
We’ve written our own software that you can download to embed research and other sound files onto of bittorrents to use viral dynamics as an archive. GhostCoder

Fellowship at Eyebeam

On July 1st, I moved back to NYC. After spending a year living the quiet coffee + art centric Berlin, I moved back to New York for a year long fellowship at Eyebeam Center for Art + Technology in Chelsea.
This is a great opportunity to keep working on some unfinished projects and start some new ones. In September, I’ll be in San Jose for the Zero1 festival working on a project together with Morgan Levy to make Happy Salt; salt with antidepressants.
