Reconfiguration
a series of events, organised by Blip in association
with Lighthouse, that explores how artists are reconfiguring
technology:
Exhibition of Paul Granjon's Sexed
Robots and films of Fluffy
Tamagotchi, Furman
and Chicken Feet.
After their successful showing at the Venice Biennale,
the male and female robots will be roaming around
an arena in the new Lighthouse building, just down
from Wagamama (Argus Lofts, 26 Kensington Street,
Brighton BN1 4AJ). Most of the time they avoid each
other (and the walls) but when they come into heat
they seek each other out and try to mate.
Watch a movie
of the Sexed Robots.
Read visitors' comments about the Sexed Robots exhibition.
Open Monday - Saturday 12pm - 6pm, 23 October -
4 November. Lighthouse, Argus Lofts. Free admission.
Children very welcome.
Pyrophonic!
An evening of live performance by musicians and visual
artists commissioned by Lighthouse and Blip: Icarus,
Tom
Arthurs, Maurizio
Ravalico, Lothar
Ohlmeier, Squint,
Brittski
and Paul
Granjon.
This event fuses the surreal wit of artist Paul Granjon
with a series of collaborative electronic, acoustic
and visual improvisations from the newly formed 'Not
Applicable Artists' and film artists Squint and Brittski.
The first spark is struck by Paul Granjon who will
demonstrate primitive fire-making technology and sing
a couple of songs with his home-made machines. The
Not Applicable Artists will then get the fire roaring
with a series of live electronic/acoustic and visual
improvisations. This new collaboration sees Ollie
Bown and Ismbard Khroustaliov (aka Icarus) join forces
with F-IRE collective artists Tom Arthurs (trumpet),
Maurizio Ravalico (percussion) and Lothar Ohlmeier
(bass clarinet). Visual fuel is added to the final
mix by film artists Squint and Brittski with their
unique blend of 16mm footage, looped video and slides.
Friday 3 Novemember, The Old Market, Upper
Market Street, Hove BN3 1AS.
Performance starts at 8pm (doors open one hour before).
