The word "etude" is often used to represent small music composition  
that is designed to gain certain technique of the instruments or also  
for composers to display certain musical ideas as a sketch. mamoru´s  
"etude" is a series of works that is related to everyday objects,  
mostly cheep and easy-to-nd, which would be transformed into  
something unexpected by a simple idea. The original work is text;  
however they take various forms to be realized.

Artist statement mamoru okuno (JP): At quartier21, I would like to  
make sound installation and performance for "etude no.12 - plastic lm"  
in two variations. One with glass bottle I nd in Austria; joghurt  
bottle, and the other with white light. At the opening I would do  
special performance involving the audience and continue to do  
variations at open studio for 4 days. I hope to see you and make good  
sound.

ABOUT CODED CULTURES:

CODED CULTURES is an initiative of 5uper.net and was first presented  
in 2004 at the “MuseumsQuartier Wien”
with the title “Decoding Digital Culture”. 5uper.net is generally  
based in the field of networking, which can have
digital, social, local or global parameters. The group represents an  
interdisciplinary, international Communication-
Forum, which is actively exploring a discussion in the fields of Media  
Arts, Digital Arts, Music, Technology
and New Media. 5uper.net combines producers which are interested in  
the interface between humans and
machines, the improvement of existing media channels and to enable new  
forms of communication, distribution
and discussion. Since 2003 the group has presented exhibitions,  
workshops and symposiums which are related
to the fields of media art and the intersection between art and  
technology.
