John eden (UK) The Story of 'Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth'

Lecture

Wednesday 4 August 2004

Hull School of Media Technology Map

18:00 - 20:00, Free (over 18 only)

During the early eighties, an underground movement arose that mixed art and ritualistic occult practices. It deconstructed language, sexuality and the sacred. It was a way of life that thousands experimented with, producing a body of work that encompassed music, film and performance. Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) began in 1981 as a worldwide network of people dedicated to self-exploration and information exchange. Its roots lay in industrial music, avant garde art, occultism and the sexual and social liberation movements of the 60s and 70s. John's presentation will summarise a history of the network and its practice, focusing specifically on his own involvement and experiences. Topics will include: bodily fluids as a catalyst for personal and social change; how a counter-culture fared at the sharp end of cultural warfare; the cult of personality vs non-hierarchical activity; how TOPY predicted the internet; why, if you just end up making art, you are doing it wrong; occulture vs occultism. John Eden was actively involved with the TOPY network between 1987 and 1995. He then used the skills and experiences developed throughout these years to contribute to other projects such as the Association of Autonomous Astronauts (1995-2000) and Turbulence (1995-2003). He lives in London and runs the uncarved.org website. John will be speaking publicly about TOPY for the first time in 10 years.

James Brown (UK) Apology

Interactive installation

Tuesday 17 - Friday 27 July 2004

TimeBase Gallery

Mon - Fri 11:00 - 17:00 Opening Monday 16 August 18:00 - 20:00

James Brown's work addresses the fragmentation and iteration of narrative structures and devices, in particular the genre film of horror and science fiction and explicitly in relation to scenes in which an ambivalence of technology is demonstrated. The body of work apology is calculated to engage with the immediate proximity of the audience or to be relayed in real time to television monitors from more remote locations using CCTV or streaming software. The individual works in the project apology have featured fluorescent strip lighting units flickering in different rooms, water droplets falling simultaneously in different rooms, perceptible changes in room temperature over short time spans, vibrating walls and windows. "For the emerging artists residency at HTBA I will construct the next iteration of apology by authoring and testing models in which the patterns of numerous individual works in separate geographic locations can be asynchronously linked (via telecommunications or local cabled connections) to scripted control patterns for the work." James Brown

Opinions, Reply - Of monkeys, mice and men. By Martin J Deane
	In her A Call for Peace, Michelle D Clark covers much ground as to why we do awful things to each other. The key is, to quote her, that We are all guilty. We are. We are all guilty - we make enemies. We create them out of people who think differently to us, or eat rice, or act in different ways. We are human; some people annoy us, some wind us up, others Read more...
