when for a job interview today as 'digital arts officer' at Broadway, (media centre?)
which is to basically curator the 'digital arts program' which i got fom the interview was to apply for funding to put things on at the broadway and the east midlands.
I m not sure that i overly won over the 'planel; as when asked when what was the best art i've seen recebly was I gave far too much choise , and still it seamed that they didn't know what i was on bout what ever i said, . for example, valsulks in birminham, or francoiue baile at the ICA or even 'sonic arts network', at the ime i didn'y know how to read the 'panel' so was pissed off with myself to not have metioned things that (i later remembered) might have hit a recognizable name for them to understand, or even know.

What i said was to mainly sell the Loom festival, and that we got funding from that and the fact that i lived in amsterdam and have seen some shit hot art work, not only resenly but over the past 6 years. also when aske d what IT skills i has, (i though this was a bit , either stupid or iconic, it being a digital arts officer job title, I dont think they knew the hlaf of what i was tlaking about when listed the software that i've been using and learnt.
over their heads, or what! ???

Just come back from a Weekends in Manchester, at the expo festival organized by sonic arts network, We (Chris, Pete, George) Played as ' Crypto-Audiological Society' Played up stairs at the Victoria Baths (which won the BBC Restoration Program to be done up soon) what an amazing venue for improv sound art noise. very lo fi sounds to go with the setting. The performance/ installation that we did was to transmit Fm radio signals of our own interpretation of Zoomorphic sounds, which was then relayed though a patch which sent our sounds to the radios in the room, (like a lo fi surround sound with more static .) Got an interview for resonance fm The Rest of the Festival that I saw was White Elephant: Joseph Byrd / SPUNK / Dreams of Tall Buildings
