Song of The Bees - Softday

Since 1999 SOFTDAY, the art-science collaboration of artist Sean Taylor and computer scientist Mikael Fernström, have engaged with issues relating to natural cycles in time, climate change and its global effects. As a collaborative team they use their arts practice to explore relations to and understandings of nature, expressed through sonifications and multimedia artworks and performances.

2011-2013 Softday collaborated with a number of Irish beekeepers, scientist and the monks of Glenstal Abbey, creating Amhrán na mBeach (Song of the Bees) about the life of honey bees and current threats such as Colony Collapse Disorder. During the BZZZ SOUND ART FESTIVAL 2014, they will continue this project in the core of the Harp Art Lab windmill in Harplinge, Sweden.





Sound Processed Milk and Honey - Kajsa Magnarsson

Kajsa Magnarsson works with sound art, performance and composing. Her work has often a strong political or sociological connection. At Supermarket 2014 she made a performance to promote the BZZZ SOUND ART FESTIVAL. Over three hundred sound processed drinks was served. Magnarsson lives in Gothenburg, Sweden, and studies composition and sound art at the Academy of Music and Drama.

She is the curator for the BZZZ SOUND ART FESTIVAL 2014 that will take place at Harp Art Lab, Harplinge, Sweden, July 4 - 6 2014.





BZZZ - SOUND ART FESTIVAL 2014
HARP ART LAB
July 4 - Aug 17 2014

The global problem of Colony Collapse Disorder, namely the rapidly decreasing population of honey bees, has caused substantial problems for farmers and the environment. In connection with Softday’s project “Song of the Bees”, Harp Art Lab seeks submissions from artists working with sound to create installations or performances connected to the theme of “honey bees”, thereby transforming Harp Art Lab Windmill into a “hive” of sounds. The theme is open to each artist’s interpretation.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS



Millophonia - Mikael Ericsson

MILLOPHONIA is a site specific sound installation in Harp Art Lab windmill by Mikael Ericsson. The sails, of the windmill, are running two enormous bellows that are supplying a modified pipe organ with air. The sound is controlled by a pneumatic mechanism that operates the pipe organ action via piano-rolls that are preprogrammed by the artist. This procedure is 100% handmade by cutting, punching and stitching it all together to feed Millophonia with fresh sound art.

The project premiered in 2012 and is the first in a series of site-specific sound installations inititiated by Harp Art Lab, Sweden.




Attimi - Julijana Nemeti

ATTIMI is a project by Julijana Nemeti, focusing on rural areas and places around the world. Her landscape art is building on a long tradition of Western painting and Chinese art depicting natural scenery. Her rich imagery includes scenery such as an abandoned beach a cold clear winter’s day or the looming development of the clouds in the skies above. The spiritual goal is to capture what the eyes and mind meets every day without chasing or controlling the moments. In ATTIMI, we see climate change in action and weather phenomena in the environment are the main actors.

HARP ART LAB SWEDEN

HARP ART LAB is situated on the Swedish west coast. The Lab is a unique platform for developing, innovative, interdisciplinary ideas and we work with artists and communities of interest to create performances and installations.

In 2012 the lab initiated the wind driven, site specific sound installation MILLOPHONIA. We will continue our work about sustainability and climate change in BZZZ SOUND ART FESTIVAL 2014, a project about the life of honey bees and the current threats as Colony Collapse Disorder.

Our main methodology is a socially engaged and discursive sound art practice. The motivations behind our work are predominantly environmental, political, and social in as much as we are attempting to re-mediate contested territories in a scientific and creative way to the public.

Harp Art Lab is a nonprofit organization founded in 2009 byJulijana Nemeti and Mikael Ericsson.
