SUMMA was realized as spatial sound and image installation at the 8th New Media Art festival “Art + Communication” 2006: WAVES, August 2006 Riga, Latvia. (http://rixc.lv/waves/). Read the rest of this entry »
The composition is a five channel piece for authentic public address sirens. The sirens are mounted across the perimeter of a large resonant space, enveloping the room by spatialization of sound.
ALERT 05 is a blend of composition and installation, in memory of the great uprising of 1905 in Riga. The composition is played on authentic public address rupor speakers GR-1E that used to blast lo-fi propaganda through minds of soviet people. The communication of signal to speakers is carried out by radio broadcast. The composition is dedicated to the revolutionary movements in society, technology and culture of the beginning of the last century. The children of the industrial revolution – the proletarian class demand new kind of art, that opposed to the decadent decay of bourgeois culture, is accessible to everyone: clear and simple as commissar’s speech, powerful and direct as sounds of heavy-industry machinery, shots fired form the cruiser Aurora.
The Installation was premiered on Sept 2005 at Forest of Sound festival, (http://www.skanumezs.lv) in abandoned factory building in Riga.
