Workshop "People processes: Music, Noise and Human Plurality", Panayiotis Kanellopoulos, musician, assistant professor, Department of Pre-School Education, University of Thessaly.

The workshop is part of the course “Audiovisual Representations and Image Processing Techniques”, Wednesday 25/1, 3:30-6:30 pm, Hall A

The workshop focus on the idea of a single activity done simultaneously by many people, in a way that each one does it in a slightly different manner. As a result, unity is transformed to plurality (Michael Parsons).

Exploring the relationship of music and noise through the role of human plurality as it was understood by experimental music. We discuss, listen and create music – we experiment.

WAITING  ROOM

PREPARATION: 9-13 January 2012, DArch Volos

PRESENTATION:19 January 2012, 17:00, Thessaloniki, Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art

Concept: Elina Loukou

Curators and tutors: Ani Krikorian, Elina Loukou, Alkyoni Bouchalaki

OPEN CALL:

During the preparation of the exhibition 'incubator’, we organize a second workshop, with the intention of creating a series of actions (performance), which will open the exhibition/installation of the Department of Architecture at the University of Thessaly, in the frame of the international exhibition 'Architecture and the City in South East Europe’, on Thursday, the 19th of  January at the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art.

WORK SCHEDULE:
A three-hour workshop will take place daily, during which we will explore the spatial movement of the human body, the latter being in an awaiting state. Issues related to the lack of control, repetition, composition of different population densities in space, tempo and time measurement, will be raised.

The form of the series of actions(performance), which will be presented in public, will be the final result of the above procedure.

WAITING ROOM:
The waiting room is an intermediate space where someone coming from somewhere, is waiting to go somewhere else. It is a space increasingly linked to our daily life, the identity of which hasn’t been studied thoroughly.

In a state of awaiting all actions stop. The awaiting subjects are always depended on another person or event. While waiting their behaviour becomes similar. People, who are waiting, are converted into quantities, defined as numbers.

The spacebecomes empty, is filled up and becomes empty again. While awaiting, time expands in a monotonous way.

We will try to describe the waiting room, by performing a state of awaiting: an almost arithmetic sequence of people, their appearance in space being prioritised in order.

We believe that the importance lies in the lack of action, the repetition of movements and the emotional uncertainty deriving from this condition.

Brief

Etymology:
Ekkolaptirio/ Greek, ek+kolápto, kolápto= to peck, ‘a place for hatching eggs’

Incubator/ Apparatus for hatching eggs by artificial heat

Incubate/ ‘To brood upon, watch jealously’/ ‘to lie in or upon’

Cubicle/ ‘Bedroom’ from cubiculum, ‘to lie down’ from cubare

Cubiclom/ ‘Dormitory sleeping compartment’, sense of ‘any partitioned space’ (library carrel or, later, office work station)

Colaphus/ latin, ‘to punch’, from the greek kolaphos verb kolápto, through the latin word the words ‘coup’ in French, ‘colpo’ in Italian, ‘golpe’ in Spanish, have been generated.

Description:
Our incubator is a closed oversized and over lighted box for hatching architectural objects. Its interior can be accessed, physically, only from its bottom/floor or, visually, through peepholes. It can only be opened during performances/actions which are to take place on the opening and closing dates of the exhibition.

Εκκολαπτήριο/Incubatoris a symbolic work based on the idea of artificially driven growth that will attempt to address diverse issues related to a) horizontally structured agglomerations or "crowds", such as urban formations in southeast Europe, b) the influence of the global model for touristic development in the perception and design of space and 3) the current wave of commodification of higher education.

Collective Work:
A ‘crowd’ of more than 200 objects exemplifying the function of the incubator will be placed inside the box. The objects, ‘overpopulating’ the installation, will be the outcome of a workshop on architectural design and performing arts.

All the members of the school, undergraduate and postgraduate students, phd candidates, professors, laboratory and administrative staff are invited to contribute with their work/interpretation of the incubator they live and work in.
