JOHN MACKINNON  - Almost Saturn -
-00:12:12

JOHN MACKINNON is an artist whose main interests are in visual and audio art forms that involve many conceptual frameworks and media. His main concerns are with memory and place recently producing a series of collaborative CD and DVD recordings of performance material and field recordings.
He has continually been involved in arts production and exhibiting over the last twenty years in Australia.

Description of Work:
The piece 'Almost Saturn' is made of a series of sine waves sets, each set comprises of four tones of approx.1min 30 seconds in length. There are 20 sets altogether. Total length is 27 minutes.
The sound is derived using a formula originated by Pythagoras and credited with having created a system of tuning based on a perfect fifth intervals or 3/2. This was known to the Ancient Greeks as a 'diapente' or fifth (3/2). Using this formula (3/2) and the basic musical scale unit of ancient Greece the 'tetrachord' or four notes, twenty sets made of 4 tones (perfect fifths) are derived starting from a random whole number. This produces tones or frequencies outside of traditional tunings and unexpected results when listened too.
Ideally, each of the four tones or frequencies should be heard from individual audio channels but they still have the effect in stereo. The beauty of this work comes from the use of air pressure in our hearing which changes minutely with any movement. Although these collections of sines waves are continuous, you can hear the harmonics of the tones, literally by moving your head around you will change what you hear. The air pressure in your ear alters as you move your head so the ear isolates some of the 4 tones. This results in the impression that there is a rhythmic melody in the piece as you hear separate notes whereas they are really only four continuous tones.
The title of the work 'Almost Saturn' derives from the other worldly or filmic science fiction feel of the sound.

Dimitris Foutris interviews Thierry Geoffroy, a Danish / French conceptual artist and the curator of the EMERGENCY ROOM project.
Emergency Room took place from the 8th September to the 6th October at Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Centre.
EMERGENCY ROOM is a pioneering visual project that was first presented at the Galerie Olaf Stόber, Berlin, at Nikolaj art center, Copenhagen and at PS1, New York. It passed from Athens and continues to London, Paris, Cairo and Barcelona.
EMERGENCY ROOM is an international visual platform that is daily updated. Colonel brings together artists who seem to agree that the planet is in a state of emergency. The project encourages artists to engage in dialogue on issues resulting from the current state of affairs, and to be spontaneous in expressing their own critical view within 24 hours.
EMERGENCY ROOM is an expression of the art that is happening now.

‘The Buffer Zone’ composed in 2004, is a work that explores boundaries of separation. It draws its material from the UN Buffer Zone in Cyprus that runs across the island and divides the two communities.

Yannis Kyriakides was born in Limassol, Cyprus in 1969 , emigrated to Britain 1975 and has been living in the Netherlands since 1992. He studied musicology at York University, and later composition with Louis Andriessen. Other big influences in that time have been Dick Raaijmakers and Jani Christou.
As a composer he strives to create new forms and hybrids of media, synthesizing disparate sound sources, exploring spatial and temporal experience, and is often drawn to the relation between language and emotion in music, especially in the use of dramatic and narrative material.

God Is Canadian was originally installed as a 5.1 surround sound installation employing a light source and fabricated objects such as a tree, a pile of rocks, and a paper representation of a Grizzly Bear floor rug. Evolving from the desire to create a prototype of a training simulator for Fur Traders, God Is Canadian visits areas of history, identity, place, and displacement.  Composed of a patchwork of collected, appropriated, and recorded audio bytes, the central underlying audio is a footage from the aftermath of the most historic goal in Canadian hockey history when Paul Henderson, of Team Canada, scored the winning goal in the last minute of the 1972 final versus team Russia.
