Eleonore: a really existing non-utopian social sculpture

(notes, Artist in Residency, Day 2) Yesterday I arrived at the Eleonore in Linz. Already before leaving I had the first insight. I was packing and couldn't find any suitable string to tie together my Yoga map. So I took a Cat 5 ethernet cable because I thought I might need that as well. And then I thought what connects Linux with Yoga? That both can show up, sometimes painfully, the limitations of the human being, especially in my case.

Martin Howse at Work

Martin Howse conducting artistic measurement in Gijon, Octobre 2008. Background, Erich Berger. Martin uses a self-built wide-band antenna to use existing radiation and measure its reflections on different locations. Under the pavement of this square is an ancient salt mine and fish factory. Electromagnetic archeology is supposed to be able to identify the location of the underground structure.

Floating Structure: A Platform for Artistic Measurements and Research

This text is the preliminary outcome of a research project going back to 2003/2004 and developed jointly by Franz Xaver and Armin Medosch. It has a theoretical and artistic dimension as well as an activist one. At the point of its inception stood questions relating to the crisis of art in informational capitalism. The project sets out to bring some clarifications by word and deed about the relationships between art and technology, art and science and the role of the artist at the beginning of the 21st Century.

The following is an annotated and hyperlinked bibliography, including brief statements on the general problematic and an introduction to each author. Full texts are provided whenever possible.

Pier Tide

This is a recording of the last tide of the day, coming in under Achiltibuie Pier on a summer evening in North West Scotland on 6th August 2008. The recording is very quiet as the weather conditions were sunny and calm; however there is a slight electrical noise that I was not aware of at the time of the recording, which is common-made electro-magnetic interference for which the hydrophone needs to be balanced.

Quarry Dive

This is a clip of an audio recording of a quarry dive. The hydrophone is sitting approximately 5 metres under the water against the side of the rocks. I could not get the microphone any further under as I was seven metres or so above on a mini-cliff which meant throwing the microphone in from height. Boddam Quarry is a fresh-water training site for dive clubs, so at this point there was six divers in total in the water.
