/SPOTLIGHT ON....PERFORMANCE! //
/----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Share Festival friends,
in this second special newsletter the spotlight is on the performances 
that will be accompanying the Festival at its various venues.

*PERFORMANCE <http://www.toshare.it/?page_id=313&lang=en>*

/*SHARE PRIZE*/
/ORCHESTRA MECCANICA MARINETTI plays Nag Hammadi 
<http://www.toshare.it/?page_id=1124&lang=en>/ – *Angelo Comino aka Motor *
3rd & 5th November, 6.30 PM, Regional Museum of Natural Science

The orchestra consists of robot drummers that play steel drums “live”, 
under the direction of a performer. The interactive rhythms of the OMM 
sound out the movement, work and machinery of Turin industry. The 
subtext moves along the lines of the /Nag Hammadi/, the third-century AD 
Gnostic text, before plunging into contemporary mythologies through 
pieces inspired by the works of Ballard and Burroughs, exploring the 
relationship between, and the fusion of, human and machine.

Friday, 6th November, 10 PM Sala Espace, via Mantova 38, Turin
powered by Club To Club, Share Festival & VIEW Conference – in 
partnership with Musica 90

Share Festival will be featuring the international collective for 
synesthetic media,* OPTOFONICA*, created by Maurizio Martinucci aka Tez, 
who lives and works in Amsterdam. Among the numerous artists working 
with the collective, we will be presenting Tez, with his performance 
/pv868/, *Martis Fennis* and *Evelina Domnitch+Dmitry Gelfand *with 
their work/ 10000 peacock feathers in foaming acid/, a performance using 
a soap film and laser. The /OSC (Optofonica Surround Cinema)/ will also 
be a feature of the night.

Club To Club will be presenting: *Jon Hopkins*, composer, pianist and 
self-taught recording technician. Hopkins shows no disdain to working 
with the most diverse artistic forms – adding to his movie soundtracks 
is his recent score for Entity, the latest production by choreographer 
Wayne McGregor; *Teho Teardo* is an Italian composer and musician. After 
having released a fourth album with Meathead and having worked with Mick 
Harris (Scorn, Napalm Death) and Lydia Lunch, Teardo now composes music 
scores for film and television.

VIEW Conference will be presenting* ITALIANMIX*, a showcase of the best 
in independent Italian video production and creativity. An occasion for 
young filmmakers, digital artists, graphic artists, designers, 
audiovisual technicians, studios and production companies that are not 
on the ‘official circuit’ to strut their stuff before an international 
audience.

/*MARKET FORCES*/
ANDREA VALLE/3quietman – /LA TERRA GUASTA / 
<http://www.toshare.it/?page_id=1151&lang=en>
7th November, 7 PM – Allegretti Contemporanea Art Gallery
/La terra guasta/ is an installation based on motorized sound sources 
controlled by a computer, and is part of a broader project focused on 
building and using computer-controlled sound sources. Taking an 
ecological perspective, each piece in the ensemble is a percussion 
instrument built by connecting a small direct current motor (typically 
recovered from abandoned electronic goods such as CD/DVD players, mobile 
phones, and toys) to a resonator.

As customary, all Share Festival 2009 – MARKET FORCES conferences will 
be streamed live on our website.
