Featuring Joker Nies
UnionArts is proud to welcome Joker Nies to a night of experimental performance.
Born 1958 in Dortmund, Germany, lives and works in Cologne, Germany, as a musician, sound-designer, sound-engineer, and technical editor for the German Keyboards magazine. Since the early 80´s, Nies experiments with all kinds of electronic sound-sources, like modular-analog synthesizers, individually designed electronic devices, DSP-based systems (like Kyma/Capybara) and software based sound-sources. During the early 90´s, modifying the Omnichord became his initiation to what is known as circuit-bending. Since that time a steadily growing number of devices has been converted from simple toys into alien sound devices. Recent activities include software synth-design in MAX/MSP for the german Keyboards magazine, and production and sound design for radio-plays. Nies also holds workshops and tutorials about circuit-bending and synth-design in MAX/MSP. His musical activities are centered around an improvisational aproach, though he also cooperates in composition-based projects like the activities of the multimedia project REALTIME-RESEARCH and QUANTUM QUASI dance-projects.
Also performing will be the UnionArts family of Experimentalists!

Telepresence Performance Research Collaboration
January 29th, 2008 "Searching" - Jeff Lovett
Nearly 10,000 satellites now orbit Earth, constantly passing over our heads unseen. Searching, a photobased art installation opening Tuesday, explores the possibility of catching a first-hand glimpse of a satellite in action. Following his recent successful collaboration on Biomodd and with the support of Ohio University’s Aesthetic Technologies Lab, local artist Jeff Lovett now looks forward to exhibiting his own vision through an immersive experience. “I want to engage the viewer in a visual and verbal dialog about topics such as data overload, surveillance and observation, through the perspective of a compulsive sky watcher.” The installation presents the work of a fictional personality obsessed with satellites.
Visitors can sift through over 2000 original images in the hopes of detecting the flicker of a passing satellite. The exhibition also incorporates large-scale video projection and live image printing which creates a barrage of visual information.
Searching will appear at the Union Arts exhibition space at 15 W. Union St. 101b Athens, OH 45701; admission is free. The public is invited to attend the opening reception at 7:00 PM on Tuesday January 29th, refreshments will be available.
