in the process of recovering from a nasty malware attack, with a little help from a friend we updated danielperlin.net
it now includes some semblance of a resemblance to my work and will have to hold down the fort until perlin studios finally gets its own site.
of course, thoughts, issues and ideas still come here first, and stay tuned for many new thoughts (including writings for domus ) coming in the next week.
I have the pleasure of being an organizer of Postopolis in Mexico City. Working as an independent curator and producer alongside Storefront For Art and Architecture, Domus, Tomo and El Eco museum, we have assembled 10 bloggers from around the world, each who selects 5 local participants they would like to have either speak or interview. These selected participants will be presenting their thoughts, works and ideas over a 5 day period in Mexico City. I have been fortunate enough to have been one of the curators selecting the bloggers, as well as an organizer of the various events, programs and activities (including performances) that surround Postopolis!DF. Below is the description from the postopolis.org website.
About Postopolis!DF
From 8-12 June 2010, Storefront for Art and Architecture, in partnership with Museo Experimental El Eco, Tomo and Domus Magazine, will host the third edition of Postopolis!, a public five-day session of near-continuous conversation curated by some of the world’s most prominent bloggers from the fields of architecture, art, urbanism, landscape, music and design. 10 world-renowned bloggers from Los Angeles, New York, Turin, Barcelona, London and elsewhere will convene in one location in Mexico City to host a series of discussions, interviews, slideshows, presentations, films and panels fusing the informal and interdisciplinary approach of the architecture blogosphere with rare face-to-face interaction.
Each day, the 10 participating bloggers will meet in the magnificent courtyard of Museo Experimental El Eco, designed by Matthias Goeritz, to conduct back-to-back interviews of some of Mexico City’s most influential thinkers and practitioners – including architects, city planners, artists and urban theorists but also military historians, filmmakers, photographers, activists and musicians. The talks will be conducted in either Spanish or English, and translations will be available. Each day of talks will end with an after-party hosted by some of Mexico City’s most influential music blogs.

re: destruction
Issue Project Room

I have the privilege of performing the same evening as the very talented Christina Wheeler who is joined by Vernon Reid (Living Color), Benton C and Danny Blume, who will be making new sounds and images.
Below is a description of the new piece and the event link for more information.

Re: Destruction
Re:destruction is a sound and video performance created by smashing a computer with a sledge hammer. It is the fourth piece in a series entitled Work by the artist and sound designer Daniel Perlin.
In re:destruction, a computer is smashed, using a sledge hammer, producing a sound as well as video work. The hammer and the computer are microphoned, sampled, amplified and played as instruments in real time.
Like the preceding pieces in the series, re:destruction is created by a single real-time sample of the sound of the act of labor, mixed with the use of the tool upon objects. In re:destruction, there is the addition of projected color video.
The Work series attempts to examine the implications of sound, noise and music in the processes of the building of physical structures.
The fourth performance piece in the series, re: destruction will be performed at Issue Project Room, Brooklyn, and dovetails with re: drill performed at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council gallery, re:construction 1 performed at Studio X and re:construction 2 P.S.1, New York.
I often find that if I stop for a second and listen to the world that surrounds me (including all the digital and sensory media overloads), it all blends into a strange kind of peaceful mix. Perhaps that is what maximalism or the new complexity is. But all this is to say that I’d like to make a call for a new type of peace in 2010.
When I look out into the world through my often mediated gaze, I see senseless wars for national and transnational greed, unspeakable human atrocities committed across the globe against the very earth itself, not to mention it’s inhabitants, a chronically collapsing economic system always already infused with it’s own failure, enslavement of individuals akin to indentured servitude from New York to New Delhi and everywhere in between, and a general disregard for the idea and practice of human rights.
But I also see in this hyperactive Pandora’s box an undying commitment (maybe this is, in a way, what Adorno saw as well in his essay on commitment in Minima Moralia) to realize a peaceful world. And in this belief, there still remains a struggle, a radically human struggle, to go beyond the constraints of nation-state and ideological-state to listen to the melange of sounds and find a way through dialogue and discourse. And so in 2010 I send wishes for new listening experiences and new opportunities for dialogue . From the extremes of humanity’s socio economic possibilities in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, anything seems possible, even peace for a change.
And for the very few people who do look at this blog, I wish you a peaceful and safe new year.

P.S.1 announces Saturday Sessions, a new program of emerging performance art that will take place on the second Saturday of each month. Designed to introduce new performance artists to New York audiences, the events will range from music to site-specific actions.
The December and January Saturday Sessions are presented in conjunction with open studios and discussions with participants in Rising Currents: Projects for New York’s Waterfront. Organized by The Museum of Modern Art in cooperation with P.S.1, Rising Currents will include a residency for teams of architects and designers at P.S.1 this fall and an exhibition at MoMA next spring. The residency at P.S.1 is part of Free Space, a new project with artists and nonprofit arts institutions in which P.S.1 provides collaborative use of its gallery space for events, rehearsals, and other live presentations.
An artist and sound designer who often collaborates with architects, Daniel Perlin performs Re: construction, an attempt to simultaneously build a model house and create an audio composition based on the sounds of its construction. Referencing both Robert Morris’ Box with the Sound of its Own Making (1961) and the sampling work of Matthew Herbert, Perlin makes full use of hammers, screw drivers, and other tools for their physical and sonic capabilities.

Tonight at Pure Fire we have the very special appearance of Joro Boro.
Being of eastern european descent, I am a particular fan of his work, though, given his popularity, I am sure that identity politics and heredity has little to do with his rather amazing sound—-a bringing-together of north africa, london, zagreb, lower east side bulgarian bar and everything inbetween….
So come to Pure Fire at APT tonight, November 17, 2009 for the everything. Balkan bass, cumbia mash, baile funk techno, dubstep Kuduro, and everything else hybrid that always already was.

After that, come with me or head out on your own to lay on a lawn and watch the amazing Leonid meteor shower
