Press release in finnish:

Kokeellista elektroniikkaa ja taidesalonki Artlab-galleriassa

Artlab esittäytyy II avajaiset pe 28.3. klo 18-20

Artlab-gallerian toinen näyttely jyrää voimallisilla maalauksilla, esittelee kokeellisen elektroniikan seuran Koelsen ja lanseeraa kaikille avoimen taidesalongin, josta löytyy töitä moneen makuun ja monesta lähteestä.

Artab-galleria on samalla taidelainaamo ja tehtaanmyymälä, jossa artlablaisten kuva- ja tekstiilitaidetta, bändien levyjä ja paljon muuta voi sekä hypistellä, kokeilla että ostaa omaan käyttöön. Taiteilijat työskentelevät samassa rakennuksessa ja niinpä työhuonevierailukin voi olla järjestettävissä.

Artlab avaa nyt myös nettigallerian, josta Artlabin taiteilijoiden töitä voi katsella ja ostaa kätevämmin. Nettikauppa löytyy osoitteesta: http://www.artlab.fi/?ide=23

Artlab esittäytyy II –näyttelyn taiteilijoina nähdään ainakin Koelse, Timo Vaittinen, Pauliina Pesonen, Mikko Lautiainen, Hanna Asikainen ja Aura Hakuri.

Tervetuloa.

Found a nice basic tutorial for circuitbending.

check out this radio

Noticed this french netradio, seems to have pretty interesting content. Some Koelse of coursce, but lots of other interesting titles as well.

Well now it is time to prepare for something a little bigger. We will be using this space, Merikaapelihalli, for our event 24.8.2007 (taiteiden yö. night of arts).

It is over 3000 square meters, so it is a bit of a challenge, but we are prepared.

So 24.8.2007 Merikaapelihalli, kaapelitehdas, Helsinki

new gigs

Association of experimental electronics is going to perform live on this saturday on lippakioski in Nordensköldinaukio (topeliuksenkatu).

Association of experimental electronics is producing a series of TV programs for a new finnish public access tv project M2HZ.

Test broadcast is going on right now, our first show will be on tomarrow, thu 17.5.2007.

APC space wired 1.0

Last night i fitted space wired APC inside a Osram Centra bulb (diameter 80mm and length 160mm).

It's controlled whit two LDR's they need to be at very dark to start oscillating at audio frequency, so it's kind of optimised for gigs at dark places. It has also microphone stand adapter.



thre is a short video clip on youtube:

APC video


I also cutted some bigger bulbs, so more of glasware-electronics are here soon.
