On Sunday, June 25, 2006, 8 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (15:00 GMT), John
Kannenberg (Chicago) and Glenn Bach (Long Beach, CA) will participate in
an online performance of their long-running, long-distance collaborative
piece, "Two Cities." Mixing sounds and still/moving images, Kannenberg
and Bach remix and reexamine aural and visual data collected on their
respective daily walks through their surrounding neighborhoods. Viewers
can log in as guests and watch and listen to the performance, which is
also being broadcast to three "brick-and-mortar" locations: E:vent
(Bethnal Green, London), Watershed (Bristol, UK), and The Point CDC
Theater (Bronx, NYC). http://www.furtherstudio.org/live

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
multidisciplinary artist influenced by the act of mindful walking and
environmental sound. Glenn has performed at such events/venues as Field
Effects (San Francisco), the Big Sur Experimental Music Festival, and
the Schick Art Gallery (Saratoga Springs, NY). He 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.

Long-Distance Media Relationships
For three years, Chicago, Illinois-based artist John Kannenberg and Long
Beach, California-based artist Glenn Bach have been collaborating
cross-country. The two gather data, photos, sound, and other materials
on their daily walks and upload them to the internet, to compare their
respective residences. Next Sunday they'll take their collaboration
across the pond, participating in a performative round of live
file-mixing hosted at London's E:vent and organized by Furthernoise and
curator Roger Mills. The curious can visit the space to witness the
actions unfolding and see large-scale projections, but those stateside
or elsewhere can also go online to watch the remixers work. At the end
of the initial session, as Alex Young constructs post-performance
soundscapes, audience members can also participate by uploading their
own files and mashing-up their own MP3s or maps. The resulting images
might resemble something like a 'global village.' - Marisa Olson
