Bitmobilen

















We are Bitmobilen and we make music on gameboys. Our influences come
from a lot of different places but the tracks usually end up sounding
something like dub step, grime, drum n' bass, jungle, gabba and
bassically bass music. We like to raise heart rhythms. beeeop.

Our music often starts out in all kinds of genres and quite a few
songs have been made while traveling around europe. But mostly we make
it in a small bedroom in copenhagen and play at local places so we're
looking forward to taking our sound with us and expecting that it will
lead to some interesting reactions and confrontations.

So we're coming with a backpack full of cords and gameboys and we're
looking for some good times in the streets, early mornings and flea markets.
We're always looking for new ways and inspiration which is the main
objective so if you're a turkish mc, street singer, circuit bender or
you just want to stomp the ground then come see us!

THE TRIANGLE PROJECT PART 3 - BUILDING THE PYRAMID

Midsummer Solstice 2008
Every artist going from Copenhagen to New York brought along white cubes through the customs and security controls. It was part of the group effort and collaboration to build a Pyramid on Governors Island.

This in a similar way they built the Pyramids and Stonehenge. It was made possible by the artists good intent and Peter Lassen's good will. The building in the back is Building 14 where the Emergence Exhibition was housed. The Emergence Project got an artist grant from Black Rock Arts Foundation, was in collaboration with Figment and was part of the Figment events on Governors Island in 2008.

THE TRIANGLE PROJECT PART 3 - NEW YORK













































The Triangle Project is currently in New York for it's third installment. On the 17th there was a wonderful performance by Atoi, Teppop and Dansk Fløde at LIT Lounge, along with a premier screening of one of the chapters from Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen's film "PTSD 911" at FUSE Gallery.

On June 19th there is an opening at ABC No Rio at 7pm, and there will also be a performance by Dansk Fløde & co. The exhibition is based on a chapter from The Triangle Project Book called "Grounded - Was Man Meant to Fly?"

From the 20th to the 22nd of June, the project will be part of the EMERGENCE project on Governors Island.

On the 24th at 8pm, Neke Carson will present the project at The Gershwin Hotel. KARGO will perform, Claus Ankersen will present spoken word, Martin K Jørgensen will show his latest short film and Doctor Jesper Eugen-Olsen of Dansk Fløde will hold a lecture on suPAR that is his brilliant invention saving lives.

KARGOLOGY




















































The Project: The performance/public intervention project KARGOLOGY is an investigation of information patterns in public space as well as the ways individual people experience the constant flow of information in the city.

KARGO have been taking their starting point in the idea of an information free utopia. What if the city would be wiped clean over night? It would be an impossible task to delete all information, but the group have used one whole week in Vienna to delete as much information as possible, simply by painting signs, shops, commercials, pictograms, posters and maps white on their way. They have been painting white as an attempt to create a clean, open, free space. A public white cube. A space where every person in the city is free to insert his or her own information.

KARGO has no intention of asserting a theory regarding the subject though. The project is more about carrying out an experiment and let the public react Documentation of the experiment are presented along with thoughts on the subject in a performance with live music and video projections. As the project will be shown more times, more public interventions will be made in the cities where it will be shown, and subsequently more documentation of street action will be integrated.

An installation for the performance is constructed, in which the performance is live-recorded and played next to repetitions of the same performance again and again, thus allowing more and more layers of information and reflections to be assigned.

KARGOLOGY has been shown at The Triangle Project in Istanbul as a part of the 10th Istanbul Biennial, as well as in MAK Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna.

LIT LOUNGE & FUSE GALLERY - ATOI & DANSK FLØDE

On June 17th, The Triangle Project Part 3 will collaborate with LIT Lounge and FUSE Gallery.


Atoi

Atoi is a band from Copenhagen, Denmark that reaches for treads to hold on to which turns in to funny balls of yarn and colorful sweaters. The music is knit together by 5 persons that in assembly creates the diverse outcome, played with an ever changing instrumentation and odd pop melodies combined to the modern sound of today.



Atoi has been a figure in the underground for some time, and has played concerts at some of the most recognized venues in Denmark: Roskilde festival 2007, Public Service 2005, Norberg festival (Sweden) 2006. Atoi has released their cover of Björk’s “Army of me” on Björk’s own record ‘Army of me - Remixes and Covers’.

Dansk Fløde (translated Danish Cream)

-Dansk Floede is Art Rock presented with more visuals than an acid trip gone wrong!

The encounter with Dansk Floede is a rock band flirting with punk, garage, electronic and ska elements. The music is inspired by White Stripes, Velvet Underground, Laurie Anderson and Chicks on Speed. Recently the band performed with Norwiegen opera star Tuva Semmingsen in a punk version of "Carmen".

"it..s beautiful worked thru Lo-Fi. It reminds you about pop-geniuses from the 60..s like Joe Meek, and his overdrive experiments or Phil Spector and his Wall of Sound. And then the songs are both easy to sing, funny, provocative - deep and blindly hopeful. With worked though naivness.”

Ralf Christensen, Information (Danish National Newspaper).

ABC No Rio

"ABC No Rio is a collectively-run center for art and activism. We are known internationally as a venue for oppositional culture. ABC No Rio was founded in 1980 by artists committed to political and social engagement and we retain these values to the present.

We seek to facilitate cross-pollination between artists and activists. ABC No Rio is a place where people share resources and ideas to impact society, culture, and community. We believe that art and activism should be for everyone, not just the professionals, experts, and cognoscenti. Our dream is a cadres of actively aware artists and artfully aware activists.

Our community is defined by a set of shared values and convictions. It is both a local and international community. It is a community committed to social justice, equality, anti-authoritarianism, autonomous action, collective processes, and to nurturing alternative structures and institutions operating on such principles. Our community includes artists and activists whose work promotes critical analysis and an expanded vision of possibility for our lives and the lives of our neighborhoods, cities, and societies.

It includes punks who embrace the Do-It-Yourself ethos, express positive outrage, and reject corporate commercialism. It includes nomads, squatters, fringe dwellers, and those among society's disenfrachised who find at ABC No Rio a place to be heard and valued."

ATATÜRK DECLARES!




“Sirs, all of you can be a Member of Parliament, can be a Minister you can even be President of the Rebublic but you can not be artists. Let us esteem those children that have devoted their lives to a great art.”








and:

“A nation, when deprived of art and artists, can not have a complete life”

and:

“Developing art and national culture is the principal element to exalt the Nation”

Atatürk had pointed out the importance of Turkish art in the nation’s life, and emphasised that Turkish arts were to reach contemporary civilisatory levels by progressive efforts.

His principal ideal and desire for the Turkish Nation has a background steeped in art and culture and is to reach a proper level in art and culture.

and:

“It is necessary consider the people’s musical needs as well. Thorough training in music is necessary for the people to get used to western music and like it. “

and:

“Friends, I know how you want our young generation to be advance in all kinds of fine arts. That, it has been doing. But in my opinion, the Turkish music has priority and urgency in this respect. The measure for the transformation of the nation is to be perceived by the changes in music. The music that they dare us to listen to today is far something to take pride in. It is necessary to collect the high expression and statements of the nation expressing fine emotions and ideas, and to work on them within the general rules of music."

and on Culture:

"The foundation of The Republic of Turkey is culture. I don’t need to explain this expression here once more. This has been determined as the work done in the schools of the Turkish Republic in each case. Culture means to read, to comprehend, to be able to see, and to make sense of what you see, to think and to educate the mind".

and:

"If a nation possessing no art can be conceived of, one of its vital vessels is cut off".





"The great current ideas of the world that provided the independence of the world’s principal nations are opposed to individuals who try to find administrative solutions within rotten systems". (1923)








and:

"We mean, in a summary, the work of a society in cultural life, economical life and state life is civilization nothing else". (Atatürk, 1929)

Personal and Individual Activism





There has been too many examples of a population who have just let things happen to their country, not taking any action against what they know is wrong. Responsibility should be taken by every single person and it is your obligation as a citizen to say NO! if you do not agree what is going on with your country. This store front in Copenhagen is a wonderful example of someone taking a stand and showing that it is NOT OK to steal the country and values away from its people, by populist propaganda and Fear Tactics. It is YOUR responsibility to say NO, when you can and if possible make a statement with art, music, conversation, letters, demonstrations and any other way you can think of.

The above window was found in Copenhagen's Østerbro District. Nice one!

bodig & ART ON STAGE presents:
lucy

20 March – 20 April 2008

a cross-disciplinary exhibition at three sites for contemporary art, Istanbul

ura, studio live, platform garanti
exhibition – performances – workshop – meeting
lucy, the first collaboration between ART ON STAGE, founded with the mission to attract new followers in contemporary art and bodig, known for its projects questioning the relationship between new media technologies and the body; is inspired by the fluctuating inner world of a fastidious, bohemian, ecstatic, fragile, creative and powerful new generation.


21 March 2008, 19:30 at URA!

The exhibition invites this generation and their contemporaries to reunite with their imaginary friends, to confront their spontaneous decisions, to listen to and hum together non-existent melodies that linger in their heads, to participate in the primitive quality of the notion of time, and to go back home with one red apple after spending two hours at a vegetable market.

participating artists:

Phil Collins (UK), Beliz Demircioğlu (TR), Andre Gonçalves (PT), Ha za vu zu (TR), Ana Husman (HR), Sara Nuytemans (NL), Oliver Pietsch (DE), Rudolfo Quintas (PT)

lucy exhibition co-curated by Derya Demir and Aylin Kalem.

20 March 2008, 21:30 at Studio Live

During the exhibition, on the last date when night is longer than day, artists Rudolfo Quintas and Andre Gonçalves invite viewers with their lighters and matches to an interactive sound performance, 'burning sound' they are going to perform at Studio-Live. In their performance the artists analyze the contemporary strategies of invisible control, using fire.

The event will begin with a performance by one of the most innovative composers in Turkey, performance artist and sound designer Tolga Tüzün (TR) and before 'burning the sound' Bisnov Project (TR) will present a performance featuring processed real-time images of the physical body. After 'burning the sound', the night will conclude with Diana Combo's (PT) performance where she is going to try to make everyone hear and believe that brand new spots and lines appear on her records every time they are listened to, by burning them, breaking them and gluing the pieces back together.

performance artists:

Tolga Tüzün (TR), Ururu (TR), Rudolfo Quintas & André Gonçalves (PT), Diana Combo (PT)


22nd March 2008, 18:00 at Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center

Artists Sara Nuytemans and Rudolfo Quintas speak on how they turn their imaginary worlds into reality using media technologies. Andre Gonçalves will go one step further by organizing a one-day long arduino* workshop. ( *arduino: is an open source electronic prototyping device for creating interactive objects and environments.)

BABA ZULA IN COPENHAGEN FOR THE TRIANGLE PROJECT PART 2



















BABA ZULA

Founded in Istanbul in 1996, Baba Zula feautures founding members Levent Akman (percussion, rhythm machines,toys), Murat Ertel (saz and other strings,vocal), as well as darbuka player Coşar Kamçı who replaced original member Emre Onel in 2005. BaBa Zula added live drawing artist Ceren Oykut into the mix in 2004. Her presence onstage has added an important visual aspect to BaBa Zula's live performances.

Baba Zula go to great lengths to provide their fans with a unique live show experience. Their ritual like performances are a mixture of disciplines of art, often featuring belly dancers, elaborate costumes, poetry, theatre and live animation, delivering viewers a tantalizing audio-visual feast.



By mixing oriental instruments such as the darbuka, electric saz, and spoons with electronics and modern sounds, BaBa Zula creates a sound all their own called "Oriental Dub". While a ney can represent the past Sufi-Islamic tradition, and a clarinet is the symbol of the music of the Turkish gypsies-an electric saz together with a wooden spoon can serve as musical compass to Turkish musical roots going as far back as pre-Islamic, shamanic times, through Anatolia reaches all the way up to present-day Istanbul.Despite sounds that might initially come to mind when one hears the phrase "Oriental Dub", Baba Zula's music is in fact rock'n roll that rolls in a way that westerners haven't heard since the late '60s rock epoch. Baba Zula share their legacy with us through their music, a music born out of Istanbul and influenced by the memories of Istanbul passed on to them from generations past.




Baba Zula will play at INKONST in Malmö/Sweden on April 5th 2008, as part of The Triangle Project


The Egyptian Lover

Los Angeles-based producer Greg Broussard was the man behind pioneering hip-hop/electro fusion artist the Egyptian Lover. Comparable in influence to Soul Sonic Force's "Planet Rock", Man Parrish's "Hip-Hop Be Bop (Don't Stop)" and Pretty Tony's "Jam theBox", Egyptian Lover singles such as "Egypt, Egypt", "My Beat Goes Boom", "Dance" and "What is a DJ If He Can't Scratch?" combined the abstract electronics of Kraftwerk and the Art of Noise with the emerging beat-heavy sound of electro and the vocal approach of rap.

Similar in style and feel to those other artists, Egyptian Lover and related West Coast electro groups and producers such as World Class Wrecking Cru, Chris "The Glove" Taylor and the Unknown DJ took beatbox manipulation to new levels, fusing signature loops with ample syncopation, darker, modal melodies and impressive turntable tricks. While Egyptian Lover records didn't start appearing until several years after the New York and Miami electro scenes were already in full swing, by the mid-'80s Egyptian Lover cuts like Egypt, Egypt" were standards among club DJs, particularly in the breakdance scene.



On April 9th The Egyptian Lover will play at RUST in Copenhagen.
An Old School DJ crew from The Triangle Project will also be part of the night, singing "Egypt, Egypt" to themselves, just like they did when they first heard it with their still rather pure ears ...

ISTANBUL'S "ASHURA" PERFORMANCE TO MALMÖ'S INKONST IN APRIL 2008

In connection with The Triangle Project collaboration with INKONST on April 5th, there will also be a performance at Inkonst's theater space.



Dressed in simple black attire, they roam on the stage, lost and alien, through the fragile borders of a labyrinth of bottles, accompanied only by age-old restlessness and by ancient chants.
Ashura puts on stage the relationship with the “other”, the neighbour, aggressiveness, the domination of cultures, the adventure of exile, the tragedy of migration. It is the story of Anatolia, a region in Turkey that was once multi-lingual and multi-culture, where the large monotheist religions cohabited, met and clashed: a 20th century land reduced to socio-cultural standardisation.

But what makes this “stage concert” exciting is how Mustafa and Ovül Avkıran have succeeded in creating a meta-historical narration by bringing together traditional dance with gleanings of contemporary theatre, ritual movements with demographical statistics, sacred voices with profane uttering. Harmonising the whole with music: songs whose common denominators are the rhythmsand modes of folklore, but from which chants in Copt, Armenian, Hebrew, Zazaki, Turkish, Kurd and Greek rise, thanks to perfectly pitched voices that are very different in terms of style, like those of Sema and Harun Ates, the famous Turkish contralto.

“Ashura” is the dish Noah prepared after the deluge. For various reasons, the day of the Ashura is a religious recurrence for Jews and Muslims, for Armenians and Zoroastrians. “Its name is as old as the history of man,” Avkıran explains. “It comes from the past to show us that the routes of exile are today on the move”.


Mustafa Avkiran was born in 1963 and is a theatre director and actor.

Ovül Avkiran was born in 1971 and is a choreographer, dancer and actress. In 1995 they established 5.Sokak Tiyatrosu (Theatre of the fifth street) that is today one of the most acclaimed Turkish companies on the international scene. 5.Sokak Tiyatrosu is the founder of “garajistanbul”, a newly established contemporary performing centre in Istanbul.
