[Nettime-bold] DOODS Audio Collage

Dept. of Ongoing Digital Situtations

PRESS OFFICE Release!

The Department of Ongoing Digital Situations (DOODS) identifies the city as
the basis for new experiments in electronically mediated playfulness.
First released as a limited edition cassette, Secret City was comprised of
the pre-eminent DOODS audio works, Alberto Tsara's Legends to Maps of
Freedom, and Ion Van Gemsy's Unheard History of Cyberspace.

Tsara and Van Gemsy are joined on Secret City by Justin Time, a close
confidant of the DOODS,researcher and time keeper. Time's disturbing violin
carves through the audible space much like a school of sharks in attack
frenzy.

Van Gemsy's hidden history is a map of sonic activity occurring in parallel
with significant social and personal markers identifying the public advance
onto the Internet. The Unheard History of Cyberspace is dedicated to the
social activists who shaped and extended the net across Asia from the late
80s to the early 90s.

Tsara's provocative collage is comprised of sound fragments with media art
luminaries such as Greil Marcus, Bruce Sterling, Natalie Jereminjenko and
Craig Baldwin. The Tsara collage is an assembly of sound fragments which
taken as a whole paint a picture of the strangeness of technologically
mediated everyday life.

DOODS' Secret City is more than window, it's a map that can be read and
heard, reinterpreted and judged, itemised and accounted for.

What the 20th Century began, the 21st can only re-begin...

Alberto Tsara and Ion Van Gemsy, 2001.
