Social Discipline is incredibly excited to present the adventurous life of Jeff Perkins, a hidden gem of the American underground. This massive five-hour podcast, recorded in Berlin in June 2024, explores his fascinating journey—no one else can claim to have performed for Yoko Ono and John Cage, created legendary light shows with The Velvet Underground, Sly and the Family Stone, and The Germs, programmed the first Kenneth Anger retrospective in L.A., and encountered both Charles Manson and members of the satanic cult The Process. Jeff joined the military in the 1960s and was stationed in Tokyo, where he met Yoko Ono in the early '60s. He began performing some of her pieces there and later in New York. Perkins also filmed Ono's classic Film No. 4 (Bottoms), a Fluxus work. His first independent contribution to the Fluxfilm Anthology was Shout. He was at the heart of the 1960s New York avant-garde scene, surrounded by figures like La Monte Young, Jack Smith, and Angus MacLise. In January 1967, Perkins moved to Los Angeles, where he worked as a programmer at Cinematheque 16. Influenced by Tony Conrad's The Flicker, he began producing powerful light shows and collaborated with bands throughout the '60s and '70s—ranging from The Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Grateful Dead to the punk scene with X and The Germs. He even refused to do a show for the Sex Pistols due to a disagreement with the promoter. Perkins was a close friend of Terry Jennings and, in fact, entrusted his archive to La Monte Young. While in L.A., he was neighbors with the artist James Turrell. In 1980, Perkins moved back to New York and started a loft project just a block away from Ground Zero, reminiscent of George Maciunas' artist loft spaces. To finance it, he worked as a cab driver. He remained deeply connected to cinema, particularly through Anthology Film Archives, where he proposed a John Cassavetes retrospective to Jonas Mekas and later became a manager. In 1994, Nam June Paik—who coined the term “The Fluxus cab driver” for Perkins—invited him to perform at Anthology Film Archives in a homage to Yoko Ono. His performance, Butthead, was a great success. His legendary loft became a hub where one could easily encounter visiting filmmakers like Pedro Costa and Albert Serra. In 1989, Perkins organized a series of lectures at Anthology Film Archives with Henry Flynt and Tony Conrad, reuniting the two after years of estrangement. Flynt would become a lifelong friend. In 2008, during the financial crisis, when I lived with Jeff, we organized a series of four-hour lectures by Flynt in the loft's kitchen, focusing on the crisis and communist economics. I vividly remember Tony Conrad attending one of them in his elegant pajamas. Perkins has directed two critically acclaimed films—one on abstract painter Sam Francis and another on the legendary Fluxus figure George Maciunas. He is currently finishing editing a film about Henry Flynt in Berlin. This podcast concludes with an excerpt from his piece Movies for the Blind, which features recordings of conversations with passengers from his time as a New York cab driver.

Today we explore the mythology around John Cage's visit to the anechoic chamber. The chamber was designed to completely eliminate echoes. Ironically, the tale of Cage's experience in that space has echoed through history, affecting our understanding of silence, sound, and the self. But what do we really know about what happened there? And what could we ever know about such an event?

Spelar storleken roll – när det gäller tv-apparater?

Våra tv-apparater har gått från att vara tjocka och tunga till att bli platta och enkla att hänga på väggen. Men deras utseenden och storlekar verkar fortfarande ställa till det för många. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ”Låt inte tv:n vara den svarta, fula klossen som förstör ett vackert inrett rum” skrev ett stort inredningsmagasin när de tog upp några vanliga missar som många gör med sina tv-apparater när de inreder hemma. ”En tv – oavsett hur tekniskt fantastisk den än må vara – är inte alltid den mest stilmässiga detaljen” fortsatte artikeln.Vad man än tycker om tv:ns eventuella estetiska brister, så är det ofrånkomligt att den påverkar hur vi väljer att möblera rummet där den står. Om man nu väljer att ha någon tv överhuvudtaget. Men om man bestämmer sig för att ta in en tv i sitt hem, så finns det en del beslut att ta ställning till, inte minst: hur stor eller liten ska tv:n egentligen få vara? Frågan är – spelar storleken någon roll?I veckans program undersöker vi varför storleken på tv:n kan vara en källa till konflikter i parrelationer. Vi tittar närmare på tv-apparater som på olika sätt försöker att smälta in i heminredningen, genom att till exempel efterlikna en tavla. Och så berättar vi om konstnären Nam June Paik som gjorde konst av tv-apparater och tar en titt på trenden med tv-serier om kända modeskapare.

Join our poetry Salon and Open Mic: https://parallax-media-network.mn.co/share/5hSLvQW7bNszFGEo?utm_source=manual About David Herz: Hello. My names are David Salzmann Herz. I was born in Boston 70 years ago when McCarthy was getting his comeuppance. I lived with my family somewhere in Massachusetts before moving to Belo Horizonte, Brazil , as part of the Department of the Interior's Punto Quatro program where my father was instrumental in mapping the geology and training a generation of Brazilian geologists. I began writing aged ten at the American school of Sao Paolo which had scorpions in the sandbox. I won a turtle for my prose. Then we lived in Chevy Chase, Maryland before moving to Athens, Ga. Where I met the poet Colman Barks and other luminaries. I moved to Chicago and studied briefly under Del Close at Second City and David Mamet who was then directing the Goodman Theater. As well as Richard McKeon at the University of Chicago who taught Susan Sontag among others. Then I returned home and drove a car from Selma, Alabama to Warminster Pennsylvania, possibly damaging the transmission while accelerating against the snow and ice. The next three years in a bankrupt New York City were richness incarnate. I worked at the Oh Ho So restaurant in SoHo and as a busboy served Harry Belafonte, one of the reasons God created humans, a glass of water. I had Alice Notley, poetess supreme, for a teacher and read my prose work at the Saint Marks in the Bowery Poetry Project. Those were wild times, buildings burning, trash uncollected, rapes a'plenty, and great generosity from compassionate lawyers, doctors and dentists for the impoverished lot we were. You could easily meet people such as John Cage, Merce Cunningham, John Giorno, Ted Berrigan, David Byrne, Patti Smith, Fred Sherry, Nam June Paik, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Charles Bernstein, Tony Towle, Bill Berkson, Eileen Myles, Ted Greenwald, John Cale, Lydia Lunch, Alan Vega, and avoid others such as Valerie Solanas. And then just as I was about to join a rock and roll band I moved to Paris. It's been 45 years. Odd jobs subtitling movies and Sipa Photopress Agency photographs. Doing journalism for English language papers, interviewing the B- 52's, Peter Brook, Zouc, Herbert Achternbusch, Paul Lederman, Boris Bergman and then working for Bull and Alcatel two fine French corporations employing hundreds of thousands who equally vanished into the capitalist sunset. Thanks to a flutist friend in Ircam I got to meet Karlheinz Stockhausen and Pierre Boulez but I don't think they remember me. I did a translation for Sophie Calle before she became Sophie Calle. Also some work for the Royal family of Afghanistan. Back when there was one. At Paris VIII University still in the Bois de Vincennes with the whores whom we did not try to lead to culture I got to attend classes by Lyotard & Deleuze and the Miller Brothers, Lacan's son in laws? Noam Chosmky spoke. I thought to become a consultant in a moment of delusion and ended up teaching for the last 24 years: Polytechnique, SciencesPo, ENST, INT, Supelec, Ecole Centrale, ENPC, ENSTA, Paris V, ICP, ESIEE, ECE, Ecole du Louvre. Before that I was a technical translator, a field I am happy to report that has been almost entirely taken over by machines, bless their soulless bodies. I also got married and my wife and I had two children. But we hadn't really grown up much to the needless suffering of the children and so that marriage went painfully bust...Then I married again and we had a daughter. She's on the phone right now, de rigueur for all 16 year olds. I am a loving observer of the human experiment of which I am inextricably a part, how so ever much I would like to be apart. As we advance, not necessarily progress, into the numbing, memory erasing age of AI, already sinking its canines deep into our pranic jugulars, lose ourselves in our beloved electronic devices, we must look to our hands, our analog writing devices such as pencils and pens and give them a try. Along with all the rest.

A dupla brasileira Angela Detanico e Rafael Lain está entre os quatro finalistas da 24ª edição do prestigioso prêmio Marcel Duchamp de arte contemporânea. Essa é a primeira vez que brasileiros são selecionados para a mais importante recompensa de artes plásticas e visuais da França. Os artistas brasileiros, radicados em Paris há mais de 20 anos, concorrem com os artistas franceses Gaëlle Choisne, Noémie Goudal e Abdelkader Benchamma.O prêmio Marcel Duchamp foi criado em 2000, numa parceria da Association pour la diffusion internationale de l'art français (Associação para a Difusão Internacional da Arte Francesa) e o Centro Pompidou. Ele visa promover as artes plásticas e visuais francesas e dar maior visibilidade internacional aos artistas escolhidos por sua inovação, incentivando novas formas de criação.Os finalistas, franceses ou radicados na França, realizaram especialmente para esta edição do prêmio Marcel Duchamp obras que estão expostas no Centro Pompidou de Paris a partir desta quarta-feira (2). São vídeos, desenhos, esculturas e instalações monumentais. Cada finalista ocupa uma sala de uma das galerias do Beaubourg.“O Florescimento da Luz”Para a ocasião, o coletivo Detanico & Lain montou a instalação “Flowering of Light”, ou “O Florescimento da Luz”. Três partes compõem o universo poético criado pela dupla para essa exposição, que levou quase um ano para ficar pronta.A primeira delas coloca em relação “dois tempos muito distintos, que são o começo do universo, campos de galáxias muito antigas de 13 bilhões de anos atrás, em relação com campos de flor, que são fotos que nós fizemos na primavera passada”, descreve Rafael Lain. Segundo Angela Detanico, eles trabalham “naquilo que constitui a imagem, que é a luz".A segunda peça “é uma constelação de estrelas, constelação do Rio Eridanus, com os nomes das estrelas codificados no sistema de círculos concêntricos de metal espelhado”. E na última, “os nomes dos mares da lua projetados em um disco de pedras brancas, como num Jardim zen”, completa Rafael.  “Esse imaginário celestial é uma tentativa de compreensão do mundo que muitas vezes é maior do que nós”, sintetiza Angela.Radicados em ParisAngela Detanico é formada em linguística e Rafael Lain é tipógrafo. A linguagem com suas várias representações está no centro da obra artística da dupla que se inscreve na tradição da poesia e da arte concreta brasileira.A obra do coletivo Detanico & Lain tem espaço na cena contemporânea internacional. Em 2004, eles receberam o prêmio Nam June Paik, um dos mais prestigiosos de mídia-arte do mundo. Em 2007, representaram o Brasil na Bienal de Veneza, e muitas instalações da dupla estão expostas em diversos países.A nomeação para o Marcel Duchamp foi uma surpresa e “uma alegria”. Independentemente da premiação, Rafael Lain diz que “o mais importante realmente é fazer a exposição, mostrar o trabalho, a pesquisa”.Gaúchos de Caxias do Sul, o casal veio a Paris em 2002 para uma residência artística no Palais de Tokyo e decidiu se estabelecer na cidade, lançando uma ponte entre o Brasil e a França. “Trabalhar cada vez mais, ter projetos na França e no Brasil também. É sempre muito importante para a gente manter esses dois pés, um em cada lado do Oceano Atlântico”, afirma Angela Detanico.O prêmio Marcel Duchamp distribui € 90 mil (cerca de R$ 540 mil), sendo € 35 mil para o vitorioso, escolhido por um júri internacional formado por artistas, colecionadores e diretores de grandes instituições culturais. O vencedor da 24ª edição será conhecido no dia 14 de outubro, mas os trabalhos dos quatro finalistas podem ser vistos no Centro Pompidou de Paris até 6 de janeiro de 2025.

Thom Holmes. “3 Open Windows, 1 Small Antenna” (1973 Private recording). I realized this piece in the electronic music studios of Temple University in 1972-73. I recorded various shortwave radio sounds at my apartment in Philadelphia, then edited and embellished it with synthesis and modulation using the Moog Modular III synthesizer at in the Temple Music School. I was a student of Paul Epstein at the time, and he asked several of us to join him for a performance on the WBAI Free Music Store, a program radio in NYC. I developed and sketched-out some vocal parts to sing along to the tape and Paul and my friend Ed Cohen joined me for the performance in NY. The lights were dim, the mood was quiet, and we soared along on the sounds on this piece over the airwaves. A recording of that radio broadcast exists somewhere in my storage but for this instance I present the tape piece alone. 24:53.

Vitiello, a New York native, is an internationally recognized sound artist and mainstay of the New York scene since his early days as a punk guitarist.  He has been influenced by Nam June Paik, has collaborated with Scanner, Pauline Oliveros and Frances-Marie Utti. He is also an electronic musician and visual artist. And, according to Morrow, “an absolute Geiger Counter for places.” In 1999 he did a residency at the World Trade Center managing to capture the Towers's swaying in the wind and recorded the creaking and cracking of the building's skeleton. He has produced countless recordings on various labels such as Sub Rosa and has had many solo exhibitions that combine sound,  installations, photos and drawings at museums and galleries and has been part of many Group shows including Soundings: Contemporary Score at MOMA, the Whitney and the Sydney Biennale. Vitiello serves as a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University in the Kinetic Imaging department. I met Stephen in the 1980s. We worked together on Nam Jun Paik's Zapping for Swatch watch. Then on some of Paik's soundtracks, including "Did George Sand Kill Chopin." Stephen curated the show,  New Sounds New York, for the Kitchen in New York. It included the New York unveiling of my patended 3D soundcube with series of commissioned works including his most evocative, “Cinematic, With Crashing Roof,” one of 12 designed for the cube by an array of artists.

Did “Arabness” die in 1973? How meaningful is the word Arab now anyway? And what role does the internet play in visual culture and civic imagination? In this multifaceted conversation with Dr Omar Kholeif, we explore many strands of thought, venturing from Arab culture as a “creole culture” to looking at the internet as a “pesky medium”. We share afikra's core tenets and philosophy and reflect on key players in the production of Arab pop culture now in 2023. Dr Omar Kholeif is an Egyptian-born artist, author, broadcaster, edit and curator (among other things). They are currently director of collections and senior curator at the Sharjah Art Foundation. Kholeif started their career as a music writer, researcher and documentary producer, going on to found the UK's first Arab Film Festival (now called the Safar Film festival). They have since worked across film, media, fine art and visual culture. They have taught at many institutions including the University of Chicago and University of Oxford. About their most recent publication “Art_Internet: From the Birth of the Web to the Rise of NFTs”:“A leading figure in the world of networked culture explores the artists and events that defined the mass medium of our time.”Since 1989, the year the World Wide Web was born, the art world has grappled with the rise of networked culture. This unprecedented survey of the artists and innovators in this area from 1989 to today is interwoven with the personal narrative of one of the leading voices of the digital world. In this book, Omar Kholeif, whose prolific career parallels the growth of the internet, tells the story of this mass medium and how it has fostered new possibilities for artists, both analog and digital.The book showcases work spanning a range of media from legendary artists including Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Nam June Paik, Heather Phillipson, and Wu Tsang. Tracing the key artists and innovators from the emergence of browser-based art to the dawn of NFTs, this is a tale for the present and the future.****** ABOUT THE SERIES ****** afikra Conversations is our flagship program featuring long-form interviews with experts from academia, art, ‎and media who are helping document and/or shape the histories and cultures of the Arab world through their ‎work. Our hope is that by having the guest share their expertise and story, the community still walks away with new ‎found curiosity - and maybe some good recommendations about new nerdy rabbit holes to dive into head first. ‎Following the interview there is a moderated town-hall style Q&A with questions coming from the live virtual audience ‎on Zoom.‎ Join the live audience: https://www.afikra.com/rsvp Watch all afikra Conversations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ****** ABOUT AFIKRA ******‎ afikra | عفكرة is a movement to convert passive interest in the Arab world to active intellectual curiosity.

In Fluxus Forms: Scores, Multiples, and the Eternal Network (U Chicago Press, 2020), Natilee Harren captures the magnetic energy of Fluxus activities and collaborations that emerged at the intersections of art, music, performance, and literature. Reacting against an elitist art world enthralled by modernist aesthetics, Fluxus encouraged playfulness, chance, irreverence, and viewer participation. The diverse collective—including George Brecht, Robert Filliou, Dick Higgins, Alison Knowles, George Maciunas, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Benjamin Patterson, Takako Saito, Mieko Shiomi, Ben Vautier, and Robert Watts—embraced humble objects and everyday gestures as critical means of finding freedom and excitement beyond traditional forms of art-making. While today the Fluxus collective is recognized for its radical neo-avant-garde works of performance, publishing, and relational art and its experimental, interdisciplinary approach, it was not taken seriously in its own time. The book offers insight into the nature of art in the 1960s as it traces the international development of the collective's unique intermedia works—including event scores and Fluxbox multiples—that irreversibly expanded the boundaries of contemporary art.

Not only is Colorvac one of really just a handful of workshops still capable of maintaining old Cathode Ray Tube televisions, but Colorvac has refined some incredible unique methods and tools for “refreshing” CRT monitors – actually cracking open the tube, giving it a little tidy-up inside, replacing the electron gun, and resealing the vacuum tube. Mind blowing stuff. On top of all of this, Jochen is an artist in and of his own right. Tune in to hear Jochen's story, as well as some breaking news about the future of Colorvac!Links from the conversation with Jochen> See Colorvac in action: https://youtu.be/jQrbzapU0dU> Colorvac website: http://colorvac.de/> Jochen's art: http://jochensaueracker.de/Get access to exlusive content - join us on Patreon!> https://patreon.com/artobsolescenceJoin the conversation:https://twitter.com/ArtObsolescencehttps://www.instagram.com/artobsolescence/Support artistsArt and Obsolescence is a non-profit podcast, sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts, and we are committed to equitably supporting artists that come on the show.

Hommage · "Das Fernsehen hat uns ein Leben lang attackiert, jetzt schlagen wir zurück." Nam June Paik (1932 - 2006) gilt als Begründer der Video- und Medienkunst und war lebenslang so fasziniert wie abgestoßen vom Bildschirm - am schönsten realisiert in seiner Skulptur eines fernsehenden Buddhas. Der Hörspiel-Titel bezieht sich auf seine Installation "Schallplatten-Schaschlik". // Mit Nam June Paik / Komposition und Regie: Ulrich Bassenge / BR 2007 // Exklusive Hörspiel- und Kultur-Tipps unter br.de/kultur-newsletter

Nam June Paik's "Something Pacific" at UC San Diego relates specifically to its site, which includes outdoors, where the work features several ruined televisions embedded in the landscape. In striking contrast to this video graveyard, the lobby of the UCSD Media Center houses Paik's lively interactive bank of TV monitors. Viewers are able to manipulate sequences of Paik's own tapes and broadcast TV. "Something Pacific's" outdoor and indoor sections use the video medium to contrast two very different experiences of time -- one involving extended contemplation and the other instantaneous reaction.

Nam June Paik used Ommah, Korean for “mother,” as the title of his final video sculpture. For composer and multi-instrumentalist Bora Yoon, this evokes the mother tongue and the motherland. Through the concept of cultural blood memory, Yoon explores whether we carry the sounds and memories of our people within us. She responds to Paik's work by bringing together traditional Korean instruments and her own eclectic electronic music.
