1977, is an installation and sound artist from Bern, <BR>Switzerland. He also
founded leerraum [], a label and network of artists who <BR>explore space, time,
void, form and structure on reductive principles and <BR>careful, yet radical
use of materials.<BR><BR><BR>The sound performance <STRONG>«Statics
III»</STRONG> has evolved from soundscapes (Statics I <BR>& II), which was
created in collaboration with the sound artists Mahmoud <BR>Refat (Cairo) and Pe
Lang (Zurich). «I am interested in a selective mix <BR>between living structures
continuously generated or evolving by chance and <BR>chain reactions,
contrasting with specifically delimited and contained <BR>space, in which these
events are allowed to happen. The compositional <BR>intentions are manifesting
themselves through my deliberate containment and <BR>cautious monitoring. Thus,
I am not busying myself with chance factors and <BR>generative systems in order
to discover unexpected results, but rather to <BR>attain the vitality aspired in
the compositions.» (Zimoun)<BR><BR><BR>I/O Media is a collective of
Toronto-based sound and video artists exploring <BR>live, improvised
performance. The group uses a wide variety of tools, <BR>including homemade
hardware and software applications, analogue and video <BR>synthesizers,
samplers and video mixers.<BR><BR></FONT><A
