This unique multimedia project draws together a group of young artists from around Scotland to create a dramatic collaborative installation. For the Edinburgh Festival they will construct a remixed version of Scottish history as informed by street art and graffiti culture, painted, pasted and projected directly onto the walls of the Portrait Gallery.
The project updates William Hole's original decorative mural scheme of 1889-1898, depicting important events from Scotland's past. This new installation exploits the empty space produced by the Gallery's current closure for redevelopment.
Rough Cut Nation will feature artwork and designs from Elph, Fraser Gray, Kirsty Whiten, Mike Inglis, Peter Martin, Jason Nelson, DUFI, Machism, Paco, Jo Basford, Janie Nicoll and Skint. The project will also feature artwork produced by young people working with Rough Cut artists on offsite projects.
Empty Words (so that we can do our living) is a nine-hour participatory multimedia poem. Featuring spoken word, live music, projections, art objects, and other actions, this spontaneous blend of community festival and theatrical performance is tempered by a sense of thoughtful expectation.
Inspired by poet/composer John Cage’s objective to demilitarize the English language so that we “can’t control one another,” Szyhalski’s event asks: what new ideas emerge when familiar devices of control are rendered useless? Empty Words challenges us to consider empty flags, parades without meaning, or demilitarized history. This dusk ’til dawn collective contemplation of surrender and renewal is a movement toward a hopeful future — a transformation of darkness into light, of words into music.
Throughout the evening, the public is invited to participate in readings of “Empty Words,” Cage’s playful and poetic experimental text. Live performances of Vexations by Erik Satie — including accordion, bass, cello, clarinet, double bass, electric violin, electronics, keyboard, piano, saxophone, synthesizer, violin, and vocals — continue until sunrise.

Mac Color Classic Circa 1993
Here's my latest baby - a Mac Color Classic from around 1993. I'm using it as an 'ideas pad' because the interface is so uncluttered and 'retro'. A 2gB SCSI HD has been added - and the onboard RAM boosted to 10 mB! It's running System 7 - arguably the best Apple Classic OS there was. Imported from MD USA.
