Ambienti 1956 - 2010 Environments by Women Artists II edited by Marina Pugliese, Andrea Lissoni, and Francesco Stocchi
Lucio Fontana and Nanda Vigo Ambiente spaziale: "Utopie", nella XIII Triennale di Milano, 1964
Nanda studied architecture at Lausanne Polytechnic until 1958, which opened up her already established painting practice to the three-dimensional space.
Under the guidance of Gio Ponti, she researched industrial design and architecture to broaden her knowledge of techniques, materials, and design.
Also experimented with abstract-informal painting at the same time, and became close to Lucio Fontana because of it.
Began to specialise in industrial design and worked at the Philco home appliance firm in 1958.
Working at Philco allowed her to make connections in North America and allowed for a future trip to San Francisco to observe Frank Lloyd Wright and the developments of modernism.
Developed an approach that she applied to early sculptures that were titled "Cronotopi (Chronotopes)" around 1959. Cubic structures made from backlit patterned glass.
The approach was phenomenological, able to be traced to architectural design
Enhanced her research in the 1970s by integrating mirrors into her structures and the industrial design of lamps and furniture.
Won the New York Industrial Design Award for her Golden Gate lamp in 1971
Ambiente spaziale: "Utopie" was produced in 1964. Rectangular, suffused with reddish neon light, walls covered in red metallic upholstery to amplify the perceptual ambiguity and an undulating floor covered in thick red carpet.
Aimed to promote a playful enjoyment of the space through the architectural design and the interaction between the work and the public.
Nanda Vigo
2x3x3m room, parallelepiped, open on one side, printed glass walls, backlit with red, blue, and white neon lights that the public controlled through light switches, floor ceailing made from mirrored stainless steel
Tania Mouraud
We used to know 1970-2023
Child of war, building a room for herself that she could die in peace
"audio perceptive" space built within the gallery, made from a white terraced floor, long deep steps, with a ditch in the centre that fits the artist's body and is 25cm deep, with a dronelike frequency playing that was composed by Éliane Radigue, who responds to the physical space of the work
Later works would use a 200 Hz frequency to relax the visitors and represent the transition to another place of consciousness, which was inspired by the space inspired by mystical traditions.
Advocated for adding a room in apartments dedicated to meditation and withdrawal.
Micol Assaël
Studied philosophy
In early artistic days, she approached drawing by freeing it from any figurative intentional representation and used it as a time tracking tool
Since the 2000s, her work has undertaken a site-specific focus and investigated immersive installations that alter the architectural context and engage the viewer in a multisensory experience
Challenging the perception of spaces and introducing complex elements such as disused machines and obsolete devices
Explores scientific theories and questions the relationship between the visible and invisible in physical phenomena.

Surreal not absurd
Cyberpunk - a place that doesn't exist, but could
Vaporwave
Painting - refined/ruled vs painterly - energy, vibe and aesthetic
Retro futurism - 80s/90s imagined future technology -> mock up/concept art

When I bring up cyberpunk as a theme explored through my work, people imagine the world-building, the stories and the already created scenes of other people's work, rather than the themes of cyberpunk itself. I would classify all of the movies (The Matrix, Blade Runner, Tron, The Fifth Element) as cyberpunk, as they are future-set societies dominated by technology. A usually dystopian city full of low quality of life but high tech.

Sound arts now by Cathy Lane and Angus Carlyle
This book is full of written transcripts of interviews with various sound artists.
Caroline Devine
unique amongst others that have been interviewed because her work is still mainly sound-based
multi-channel and site or theme specific
The listener is immersed in the sound and placed in a setting that encourages thinking about green spaces and cycle paths, the history that informed and provided the material for the work
She saw sound as a vehicle for autonomy
Got an Atari computer, Tascam four-track and Unitor box recording setup to make more sounds that could be used in a film and television context
Wanted to explore being more experimental with sonic material
Interested in using it as a compositional tool or instrument
Started off looking at instrumentation, working with string or a horn was a new thing for her
Used her voice a lot as an instrument
She now uses it abstractly to make textures, sounds, atmosphere or fragmented speech, rather than lyrics and words.
Did some film soundtracks for student films
Used to be fascinated by the things you could hear in the background behind the foreground voice
Maria Chavez
She is an artist capable of recalibrating modalities in a way that makes them resonate with a coherent pulse
which allows for her installations, curations, writing, performances and visually-attuned material to establish solid relations with the audio material that she is responsible for
Audio could include a sample from a composition for a Biennale, a broadcast on a hip radio station, a track on an even hipper cassette compilation, a collaboration on a lathe-cut 7" and a CD release of her remixes of another artist's locked grooves
Her projects acknowledge the connections with a variety of sources, feminist composition, land art, sound art, West Coast minimalism, pop art collage and hip hop/avant-garde turntablism
Her work is importantly social, encouraging interactions and interaction of the viewer within the work as a "collaborator" of sorts, where they are encouraged to document the work and make comments upon the sounds they hear. Allows for the viewer to have the opportunity to place themselves in the position of the artist
Almost as if the work does not exist without the exchange between artist and viewer
Creates a more intimate listening experience
Her book, Of Technique: Chance Procedures on Turntable
opening up the room to everyone as a democratic experience
She was a DJ since she was 16, 2010s, and adapted to the harshness of being a woman DJ surrounded by men who were looking for any excuse to steal her spot
This allowed her to hone her skills of transitioning and missing songs together
She did a mix on a radio that started with a Steve Reich track and ended with one, but had an Italian folk song, a Junior Boys tune, Beatrice Dillon and more in between. You wouldn't think they would go together if you listened to them individually, but how she mixed them made it work
Her first official DJ gig was in a museum, so there was no expectation to play techno or only play techno
A multi-instrumentalist can pick up and play an instrument that they have never played before because they understand the basis of musical.
She sees herself in a similar way, that recorded sound for her is something she can manipulate into something new, because she doesn't want to experience it as it is supposed to be
If she really likes a song, she will listen to it backwards, speed it up, slow it down, and choose the best version that she can hear from that
loves listening to tracks sped up so fast that they are only a few seconds
The song then becomes its own sample, and if you change the pitch and multiply the sample and change the pitches of the other samples, you can create a song from a song
Instead of listening to a song as a full idea, you're listening to it as a note, a sample, a point in a song
Reversing the sample can also make it even better
Talks about her book as an interactive sculpture
Feels an affinity towards those who moved away from a fine arts practice into a more visceral perspective of the world
The chipping away of the needle at the vinyl becomes a live sculpture
Her live performances are subtractive sculpture sessions
the language of time
the use of a vinyl over time destroys what it is, the sound being distorted and forever changed with every listen and experience of the sound, which eventually becomes white noise

Surreal to see the instrument being played and hear the sounds of an instrument like this
Came out in 1977
polyphonic aftertouch, velocity sensitive, 8 voice polyphony, dual-layered synthesiser control, ribbon controller
used in bladerunner, the ring modulator was heavily used for the soundtrack
how organs used to be in the 70s
