For his installation in The Curve, Boursier-Mougenot creates a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other musical instruments. As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating, live soundscape. 27 February 2010 - 23 May 2010 The Curve, Barbican, London http://www.barbican.org.uk/thecurve/b... Free admission Times: Open daily 11am-8pm Open late every Thu until 10pm

Spring is in the air at London's Barbican Center and the birds are making music, literally. A band of zebra finches is playing electric guitars and cymbals in a walk-through area of the arts center. Jennifer Glasse reports for VOA from London that the exhibit is a surprise hit and on YouTube as well.

After training as a musician and composer, Céleste Boursier-Mougenot forged an art practice that merges the visual and the auditory. Boursier-Mougenot considers music the medium through which humans most commonly experience the intangible and abstract. He aims to create the conditions for experiencing what composer and innovator of ambient music, Brian Eno called 'the long now', by interrupting the constant assault of sensory data which passes for experience. A simple analogy is the experience of 'live' music with its sense of 'being there', in a spatial and sensory sense, which goes beyond the experience of listening, as Boursier-Mougenot underlines: 'Live music, produced live and where we are present, is among the phenomena which have the property of amplifying our feeling of the present moment'. The artist aims for this harmony of process and effect to encourage viewers 'to witness their own present time'. Boursier-Mougenot's installations combine the technical with the aesthetic and sensorial; he refers to them as functioning like a 'dispositif' rather than an installation. The term, loosely translated as device or structure, foregrounds the potential of a work to engage viewers in both the operational and aesthetic components of a work. 'From here to ear, (v. 13)' 2010 explicitly orchestrates a space for listening and experiencing within a technical and organic apparatus of sound production. 'Instruments' have been constructed and tuned to create an environment for finches to feed, fly, rest and make music through interacting with them as spaces for living. Rather than 'participation' on the part of the viewer, the artist is particularly interested in the quality of human attention that arises in the viewer through experiencing being within the installation.

Meet Liliane Lijn, the American artist who pioneered the use of technology to make moving art. Artist Liliane Lijn is best known for her kinetic artworks. (Kinetic art is art that moves.) In the early 1960s Liliane Lijn was at the forefront of exploring new ways of using technology and materials to make art. Surrealism, Greek mythology, female identity and developments in technology are just some of the things that have inspired the artist. 'I try to make work that will allow people to still their mind and look at things with a different eye', says Lijn.

The world knows Singapore as a vibrant destination and bustling business hub. But let’s not forget what makes this nation tick: our people. In the first of a three-part series, we tell the story of “The Originals” – trailblazers in their own right, guided by their passion. They represent Singapore's soft culture, its "heartware"; Singaporeans who define success on their own terms as they turn their passions into possibilities. This is the story of sound artist, Zul Mahmod. A partnership with Brand New Media and SPH. Read the full article here: http://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/the-originals-forging-new-paths

The Swiss sound installation artist has recently opened a new show in South Korea

On the occasion of Art Basel 2016 in Basel (Switzerland), Swiss artist Zimoun has been commissioned by Sennheiser to create a new immersive installation enclosed within an old shipping container. Lined with hundreds of paper bags—placed on the walls, floor, and ceiling of the container—each bag contains an engine, which moves it independently. Completely surrounded by a large number of small sound generation systems, the viewer is immersed in a three-dimensional sound composition.

The Swiss artist Zimoun is known for his kinetic sound installations that use simple and functional materials. For the 10,000 square foot atrium of the Knockdown Center in New York, Zimoun created an immersive site specific installation made of 250 motorized wood beams and ropes – Zimoun’s largest site-specific project in the US to date. Each wood beam cyclically strikes the floor, producing a sonic experience reverberating within the huge space. The exhibition is titled Zimoun [KE]³. In conjunction with this monumental work Zimoun presented new projects at Bitforms Gallery in New York and Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University. Zimoun was born in Switzerland in 1977. The artist lives and works in Bern. His work has been presented in solo and group shows as well as performances internationally. Zimoun has been awarded different art prizes and residencies and has served as a guest lecturer. In 2003 Zimoun co-founded Leerraum.ch – a platform publishing works which explore forms and structures based on reductive principles and systems. Recent displays of his work include exhibitions at the Nam June Paik Art Museum in Korea; Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, Taipei; Ringling Museum of Art, Florida; Harnett Museum of Art, Richmond; bitforms gallery New York; Kunsthalle Bern; Seoul Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art Liechtenstein; Fine Arts Museum Rennes; Art Basel; Galerie Denise René Paris; Museum Les Champs Libres, Rennes; Contemporary Art Museum MNAC Bucharest; Beall Art Center, Los Angeles; Museum of Fine Arts Bern; Museum of Contemporary Art MSUM, Ljubljana; National Art Museum, Beijing; Museum of Fine Arts Lugano; among others.
