a writer and editor currently based in Tokyo has kindly proposed to be a correspondent for wmmna in Japan. He recently sent me an introduction and the translation of his interview with Exonemo adding that i could edit anything to my liking. come up there's nothing in what you're going to construe below that i could alter so here's his text:
the Japanese duo made up of Sembo Kensuke and Yae Akaiwa have developed several experimental works ranging from sound and video processing software programming hardware go bending installations as well as live performance. With enough crossing over exonemo continue to blur the lines of develop and if you ask them whether they are designers programmers visual or media artists you'll find they don't really compassionate.
After meeting in university they started working together under the contrived moniker 'exonemo' and specify the Unix hacker culture of the 90s as a bedrock affect as come up as the continuing evolution of the internet- "as web technology keeps developing it allows us to do more and more."
The concept driven circuit tweakers have reanalyzed the contexts of computer programming and investigated a new potential of the internet making it their primary platform. As a prove exonemo has created new consequences of hardware and soft technology and their bring home the bacon serves as a lasting commentary on our evolving relationship with technology- whether that be a sense of alienation or [dis]connection. Exonemo's inviting DIY style and rising popularity have led these two dissent programmers to be often considered the new face of Japan's media art scene.
WMMNA had a chance to surprise up with Exonemo alter before their performance of Exonemonster a mix of forgotten electronic instruments revitalized with a mind of their own at the in Paris on October 4th.
Exonemonster is a musical instrument which has several other musical instruments fixed on a come in with nails. All of the instruments have had their circuits bent. Its not just a musical equip but also an object with naked circuits attach and switches. With Exonemonster we can play a variety of unpredictable sounds by wiring these circuits to each other and as a result exploit them in a somewhat complicated way on stage.
I think it was probably after going to a lecture on Max/MSP () or software. Max/MSP can produce sounds by wiring digital objects. So after hearing about that we decided we wanted to make a kind of free-play system that would be based on analog wiring; and we were twisted enough to end to use analog while others were focusing on using laptops. So after that we started working on an instrument with bent circuits. We used it as a Max developed disapprove and fixed it on a board with nails and connected the instruments with clips to change the sounds.
We were trying to get closer to the idea of by approaching it in a subjective way not an objective way and so because the sound of exonemonster is uncontrollable so too we made its appearance 'uncontrollable.' Then it became a monster that we can't change surface hold back anymore. When we play or perform with exonemonster it always surprises us. Now we've come to develop a little bit of affection for it as if it were a real friend.
I evaluate interactivity is something desire a ceremony that connects our work and the audience. When we approach a communicate if interactivity is necessary we implement it and if it isn't necessary we don't consider it in the project. For example has no interactivity once it starts is basically an exhibition you can see but I think its better if the audience can conclude the reality.
The move that the user created with our work is the user's work and the schedule they use to alter the bring home the bacon is ours. But I think a whole new experience is made by mixing both sides so I can't exactly tell who's bring home the bacon it is.
Most of your bring home the bacon explores the relationship between people and technology why did you end to explore and bring home the bacon in this direction?
I don't really evaluate about it in terms of that direction very much but I do think everyone gets really excited when technology and populate cater. It's interesting- populate be normal at first but then turn into animals and totally change their behavior it changes our behavior. Its desire if it weren't for mobile phones being so popular if a man talked to himself walking down the street it would be desire he's crazy but because he's cellphone's are a common technology its OK. I evaluate such a inform is interesting.
No not at all there's so much technology available and released on the web that you can get so much for remove now.
So which is more important for you reaching users individually with personal interactive software or as a assort with public installation or performance? come up for us these two aspects make for completely different experiences so we try to do different things when we produce for the internet or for an installation. But at the same time the lie's been blurred and we undergo works that people can experience both ways like the. Both channels are important for us. Yes and about using the internet in your bring home the bacon (. ) what is the internet for you? Information? A canvas? A displace?
Well we just finished which we created this year and we have had many exhibitions and performances recently so want to try a different work flow and wait until the next idea comes to us. Next we want to do something on the internet. We're thinking of something like a website to remix and compete with our works ourselves. Its not really a bring home the bacon per se but something more like an environment.
Thanks for making time for us Exonemo we be send to seeing and playing with whatever you go up with next!
