Salam Hormat,
Makin hari komunitas Common Room Networks Foundation makin membuat saya penasaran 7 keliling. Adakah bagi saya yang tamatan STM ini ikut andil dalam project Soundshine Festival 2007 Bandung? Selain menambah pengalaman, jaringan, juga tentunya ilmu “Jangar” yang selalu inovatif. Terus terang saya salut dengan keberadaan Common Room sekarang ini. Semakin variatif dan mencoba terus untuk berubah sesuai karakter dan intuisinya.
Mungkin segini dulu aplaus dari saya. Gimana Tarlen dan klub-klubnya masih tetap berjalan? Gimana Pam masih botak? Tetap jaga terus karakter anda dan imajinasi anda. Maju dan berubahlah terus sampai akhir hayat.
Hallo Ozi,
Thx buat aplausnya. Soundshine Festival 2007 udah selesai. Itu video dokumentasinya aja yang kamu tonton. Kayaknya kalo kamu mau kamu bisa ikut terlibat di acara Soundshine Festival tahun depan. Coba aja hubungin teman-teman FFWD Records. Soalnya mereka yang punya acara. Sekarang Common Room memang sedang bebenah untuk merespon perubahan-perubahan yang sedang berlangsung di sekeliling kita. Selain baru saja membentuk pengurus yang baru, Common Room juga sedang bikin renovasi untuk bisa menampung kegiatan yang lebih beragam.
Tarlen dan klub-nya masih aktif. Mereka sekarang sudah punya tempat yang baru di Jalan Aceh. Kalo Pam saya sudah lama nggak ketemu. Alamat Tobucil yang baru:

Ibrahim Quraishi are conceptual artist, writer, choreographer and artistic director of Compagnie Faim de Siecle (NY/Paris). His work is based on the transformation of space, an immersive narrative and a pro-active performative dialogue through digital and human interface. His pieces consciously examine the dynamics of “migration”, dispossession and cohabitation within the highly rigid socio-political spheres of our imagined communities.
Graduate of Middle East Languages and Literature from Columbia University, New York and a former student of Edward W. Said, over the past 10 years, Quraishi has been collaborating with internationally diverse artists such as Paul D. Miller a.k.a. DJ Spooky, Norscq, Aziz, Shahzia Sikander, Vijay Iyer, Pamela Z, Masayasu Nakanishi, Mike C. Ladd, Komar & Melamid, Valery Gergiev, Naeem Mohaiemen, and Hiam Abbass, a.o. His pieces have been presented in Paris, New York, Sarajevo, Munich, Nantes, Vienna, Antwerpen, Luxembourg, Kyoto, New Delhi, and Tokyo. Quraishi has won a number of prestigious awards including the National Endowment for the Arts Grant (2005), a Rockefeller Fellowship (2000, 2004 & 2005), the Islamic World Arts Initiative (2004) and Arts International grants for 2001 & 2003 to name a few.
The video shows the trailer of the last show directed by Ibrahim Quraishi. Performed on April 19 2007 in Utrecht (NL) during the Springdance Festival 2007.

BOMB IT is the explosive new documentary from award-winning director Jon Reiss investigating the most subversive and controversial art form currently shaping international youth culture: graffiti. BOMB IT will be the most comprehensive film project about graffiti and street art done to date and for years to come, featuring original and rare footage from the top graffiti writers of modern times, from Cornbread and Taki 183 to Shepard Fairey, Os Gemeos, and up-and-coming artists pushing the boundaries of this longstanding artistic and social movement.

The first documentary to cover this phenomenon on every continent, BOMB IT has shot in Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Tijuana, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Hamburg, Berlin, Cape Town, and São Paulo. Tokyo is coming up next.
In Sunday (20/05/07) we decided to run a video graffiti project in five random places in Bandung – Indonesia (Regent Parking Space, Cikapundung, Viaduct, Jembatan Pasupati & Paskal Hypersquare). This project is presenting a multimedia performance by RNRM (Hendra, Ekky & Kanya), Biosampler/UVG (Niang & Megadeth) & Mocco. This project is made possible by support & initiative from Bandung Center for New Media Arts/Common Room Networks Foundation, FF/WD Records, Electrokiller Corps. & Lucky Strike.

The work is based on the idea of using the world as the constantly changing score for the sounds and on the notion of kids being very loud at certain age. The interest was to create a real-time composition with a focus of making a media-art piece for children.
The TRATTIs are wearable screaming devices for children. TRATTIs generate noise and sound and music (depending on your ear) according to what the kid is looking at. Each TRATTI is different, yet all are similar. The prototype plays the visual world as the score for the sounds.
Though the TRATTI looks very low tech, it actually is a high tech device. A mobilephone with camera runs the system. It also contains a megaphone-shaped horn, an amplifier and electronics. TRATTI uses custom-made software, developed in mobile processing, to interpret the images as sound that the phone takes, then it plays out loud the sound it generates.
In April ’till June 2002, The British Council Jakarta and Bandung Center for New Media Arts organized a workshop and exhibition located at The Library of The British Council Jakarta. Young artists from Bandung and Jakarta were invited to explore and respond the library space for two months working-period. The opening presented Biosampler, a collective multimedia-performance group from Bandung.

sCrAmBlEd?HaCkZ! is the result of an effort to develop an artistic strategy that could shed some light on evident but very confusing problems of intellectual property. Intellectual property is a misconception deeply conflicting with the basic principles of any cultural production because it is completely negating its collaborative nature.
Nevertheless IP laws are continuously expanded as if romantic notions of geniality and originality would not have been put ad acta quite a while ago. At the very latest in todays society which is, to an ever increasing degree, shaped by digital networks und computers it is getting obvious what IP actually is: an instrument of power and censorship to secure economic interests.
Fascinated by the effects caused by a small program called Napster (and its successors) I wondered to what extent certain software could unfold discursive power in such a situation if that software would open up new technical possibilities for something which is already the (subconscious) desire of many.
Because of my interests in artistic strategies and social practises of appropriation – collage, montage, sampling and remix in general and plunderphonics, bastardpop and mashups in particular – the idea of a hypothetical mind music machine has evolved which, as a metaphor, helped the concept and the design of sCrAmBlEd?HaCkZ! to take shape.
Self-replicative and generative codes have been developed in Software Art. Intermedia Arts relations between notation and realisation are expanded by new mutations in relations between readable code and computer processing: Examples of program codes appear as the next step after formalizations of verbal concepts in Dada, Fluxus and Conceptual Art. And on the other hand: These formalized notations can be presented as precursors of Software Art.
The development of the camera technology (video camera, WebCam, camera phone) and its context had and has consequencies for the development of strategies to integrate participative uses of cameras into projects. The article outlines the camera use as a subject of change from video and net projects to collaborative mapping with locative media.
The article “Participation with Camera” offers an overview on some of the nearly hundred projects described in German in:
