Neil Jenkins is an artist who specialises in creating work for the Internet and is particularly interested in language, networks, multi-user interaction and generative work. He is the programmer behind Visitors Studio, a furtherfield.org project developed over the past two years. Roger & Neil have collaborated on numerous A/V projects developing a symbiosis of aesthetic in visual organic structures and sound underpinned by a social politic. Manipulating found sounds and generative images their audio visual mixing takes on an earthy, ethereal quality with an underlying melancholy. Roger Mills Neil Jenkins 11th June - Paul Wilson & James Smith  Paul Wilson and James Smith collaborate on a range of projects which centre around techniques of sonic typography: using linguistic and alphabetic processes and systems to convert images, places and words into sound. Recent projects have included a commission for The Wire magazine where the publication's covers of 2005 were reprocessed into a twelve-minute audio mix, and two installations for the upcoming 'Paintwork' exhibition at the Praxis Hagen gallery, Berlin where The Fall's '27 Points' album cover has been translated into both sound and (moving) image. For 'Month of Sundays' Wilson and Smith are producing an audio/visual 'typography of place' where field recordings are combined with reprocessed images and sounds made in the extreme environment of former weapons testing lab Orford Ness. Paul Wilson James Smith 18th June - John Hopkins  A networker with more than a decade of remote-streamed visual-sonic performance work, John Hopkins has a background in engineering, hard science, and the arts, practising a nomadic form of performative art and teaching around the world. He studied film with renown experimental film-maker, Stan Brakhage and video with Janice Tanaka and has made live network-based streaming visual-sonic performances in Europe, Canada & USA. 'When life faces the fundamental transformation through death, passive memory becomes an active agent to guide the escaping spirit. This performance is an attentive exploration of the spirit's future memory of its own passing and the complex of energies through which it must migrate alone'. John Hopkins 25th June - John Kannenberg & Glenn Bach  Chicago-based sonic and visual artist John Kannenberg works with a variety of themes including primal natural forces, spirituality and mindful contemplation, melancholy and nostalgia, abstracted narrative tales, and the confluence of sonic and visual art. His major appearances include the Spark Festival 2006 (Minneapolis), so.cal.sonic 2005 (Long Beach), ISEA 2004 (Tallinn), and the Placard Festival 2003 (New York). John is the creator and curator of Stasisfield.com, an experimental music label and digital art space presenting works by a diverse collection of artists from around the globe. Based in Long Beach, California, Glenn Bach is an active multidisiciplinary artist influenced by the act of mindful walking and environmental sound, Bach has performed at Field Effects (San Francisco), the Big Sur Experimental Music Festival, and the Schick Art Gallery (Saratoga Springs, NY) and has curated a house concert series, Quiet (2003), the week-long so.cal.sonic festival (2005) and is the founder of the research group Pedestrian Culture. His current project is a poem sequence, Atlas Peripatetic, inspired by an extensive mapping of sounds on his morning walk. Their Two Cities project began in 2003 using sounds, photos, objects and data collected on Glenn and John's daily walking commutes to compare and contrast the environments of their respective hometowns.
