Som prolog til Piksel'07 inviterer BEK til workshop med den kanadiske kunstneren Jean-Pierre Gauthier.
Med bakgrunn i hans eget arbeid med kinetiske lydinstallasjoner vil det bli arbeidet med hvordan piezo-mikrofoner kan brukes for å fange opp og forsterke lyd fra ulike objekter, samt hvordan objekter kan bringes til live (bevegelse) vha. av elektronikk og motorikk. Workshopen vil gi en innføring i bruk av bl.a:
- kontaktmikrofoner
- små DC motorkontrollere
- AC motorkontrollere
- muscle wires
Det vil også bli mulig for deltagerne å diskutere og få veiledning i forhold til egne prosjekter og idéer.

ABOUT JEAN-PIERRE GAUTHIER:
Canadian Sound Artist Jean-Pierre Gauthier’s mobile sound installations express the delights of disorder. Objects such as tools, appliances, cleaning equipments, music instruments become strangely haunted, they move and produce sound freely. The viewer in contact with his work triggers a chain of event that is never predictable. His objects evolve in space with gracious movement and in a playful way, trying to get free of their physical and spatial limitations.
Jean-Pierre Gauthier exhibits at Lydgalleriet 31/10 - 18/11. The exhibition forms part of the Piksel'07 festival.
