anyWare
By Jane Tingley, Cindy Poremba and Marius Kintel
January 17 to April 1, 2019, Open 8 am to 4 pm everyday except Tuesdays and Wednesdays
NAISA North Media Arts Centre, 106 Ottawa Ave, South River
anyWare is a distributed media sculpture comprised of two identical objects and a third virtual online portal that are individually connected to the Internet and physically mirror each other.
The anyWare sculptures are art objects that telematically connect different locations in the world and enable distal physical communication. The objects simultaneously respond to people who interact directly with them, as well as allow them to interact with each other through the sculptures.
Structuring these interactions are a number of games and puzzles for people to play/solve, either individually or collaboratively. The objects transform in the experience of exploration (either with one person or potentially with many people) and in so doing reveal different levels of interactivity and aesthetic experience.
The creation and production of anyWare would not be possible without the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council and The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).

Listen In
By Udo Noll and The Listen(n) Project
April 4 to June 17, 2019, Open 8 am to 4 pm everyday except Tuesdays and Wednesdays
NAISA North Media Arts Centre, 106 Ottawa Ave, South River
Listen In includes two interactive works that give the opportunity to the participant to both broaden their understanding of the soundscapes of faraway places, places that they may not have been exposed to at any time in their lives and to focus on the sounds rather than solely the sites of a place. Each of the works do this in very different ways: LListen(n): Embodied Sonic Experiences is a virtual reality nature experience that provides full 360 spherical images and ambisonic sounds of protected ecosystems in Arizona, California, Mexico and Germany. The radio aporee Geomixer uses an online map to mix soundscape recordings captured globally by hundreds of volunteers and professionals
NAISA would love to populate the radio aporee sound map with as many spring soundscapes of the Almaguin Highlands as possible. Want to add sounds from your own backyard to the radio apogee map? Click here to learn about an upcoming workshop at NAISA to get you started.

Program:
I. Listen(n): Embodied sonic experiences by The Listen(n) Project
Listen(n) is a virtual reality work in which users look around the environments wearing a virtual reality headset as if truly present in a landscape. As the user shifts around the spatial audio imaging adjusts to match visual orientation. The Listen(n) Project pursues questions about the role and function of sound and the perception of sound for a deeper understanding of place, presence, belonging and sustainability issues.

II. radio aporee: Geomixer by Udo Noll
The radio aporee: Geomixer uses a web browser for listeners to mix soundscape recordings from a global public archive updated daily by hundreds of volunteers and professionals. radio aporee is a global soundmap dedicated since 2006 to field recording, phonography and the art of listening. It connects sound recordings to its places of origin on a google map, in order to create a sonic cartography, publicly accessible as a collaborative project. The radio aporee platform also invokes experiments at the boundaries of different media and public space. Within this notion, radio means both a technology in transition and a narrative. it constitutes a field whose qualities are connectivity, contiguity and exchange. concepts of transmitter/ receiver and performer/ listener may become transparent and reversible.

Talented improviser, she uses a myriad of sound-makers, invented instruments and sound automatons, voice and mostly bassoon, along with live electronics. Working on the form, most of her work have visual elements and are non-linear, choices given to the players, or, for installation work, interactivity shapes the compositions. - http://www.musinou.net
Kinetic Transmissions
By Gordon Monahan
October 4, 2019 to January 6, 2020, Open 10 am to 4 pm everyday except Tuesdays and Wednesdays
NAISA North Media Arts Centre, 106 Ottawa Ave, South River
Pay by Donation
This installation from 2016 uses audio signals to create kinetic movements in motors. The audio vibrations are transmitted through the motors and into resonant objects such as drums, which amplify the audio recordings. At the same time that the audio recordings are transmitted and amplified into the drums, they also cause other motors to tremble and shake in kinetic gestures. These audio-induced movements, in turn, provide kinetic motions that result in percussion events, such as motors that have bells or sea shells attached to them, or wires that play wine glasses or drums as percussion objects. The piece exists as a gallery installation that becomes an immersive kinetic audio environment that the audience can enter to experience.

II. Dots by Norman McLaren
The Canadian animation pioneer Norman McLaren was well known for the close relationship between image and sound in his films. This was a result in part of the fact that he worked directly on the film where he could jointly create both the image and the sound. Dots, and the companion film, Loops were made in 1940 prior to his work at the National Film Board of Canada when he was a penniless immigrant, short of cash and security, in New York. As Jaroslaw Kapuscinski relates in his essay Norman McLaren: Synergist, “Having no money for music he painted it directly on the optical track. To make them he would take strips of film, 60 frames in length, one at a time, and draw images and immediately after that sounds. He thought in single visual events with single sound events associated with them. He would say later with a synesthetic kind of humour that the sounds had resonance of kisses with a shade of raspberry.”

III. The Persistence of Elusion: Hard and Soft Dances by Jeff Morris
This work seeks the "native voice" of a classic drum machine by turning it on its head: manipulating its underlying clock, from which all rhythms and timbres are formed. Surprising sounds emerge from innocuous instruments, and complex “melodies” of temporalities emerge, playing between stability and surprise. The text meanders randomly (and shaped by the audio) through an essay on the aesthetics of the work, relating to Salvador Dalí’s fascination with what he called the “hardness” and “softness” of things (including time). The other video content gives fleeting, glitchy glimpses of me and my screen while performing this work, occasionally creating feedback loops that allow new shapes and effects to emerge.
