Part of UNQUIET : Art and music events at Sheffield's Central Library
Sat 24 March 11am-4pm
Sheffield Central Library, Surrey Street, Sheffield.
Sheffield Central Library provided the venue and inspiration for a spree of artistic interventions, impromptu performances and creative workshops:
Sheffield Library's documentation from Unquiet (requires Flash):
Reactable
The Reactable is a revolutionary new electronic musical instrument, designed to create and perform the music of today and tomorrow. It combines state of the art technologies with a simple and intuitive design, which enables musicians to experiment with sound, change its structure, control its parameters and be creative in a direct and refreshing way - unlike anything you have ever known before.
Juxtavoices
Juxtavoices is a large 'antichoir' under the direction of composer Martin Archer and writer Alan Halsey. The group includes many familiar faces from Sheffield's leftfield music, poetry and visual arts scenes. Although the group performs structured scores, no fixed pitches are ever notated, and the group uses improvisation to shape the detail of the scores as the music progresses. Both trained and untrained voices are included. As well as playing "normal" concerts, the group is to be found in various unexpected public places, and at poetry / text events. For this event, Juxtavoices have created 2 special pieces for performance: one in suitably hushed tones inside the main library, and one utilising the rich acoustic of the adjacent stairwell.
20Hz by Semiconductor
05.00 minutes / HD video installation / 2011
20 Hz observes a geo-magnetic storm occurring in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Working with data collected from the CARISMA radio array and interpreted as audio, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by incoming solar wind, captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. Generated directly by the sound, tangible and sculptural forms emerge suggestive of scientific visualisations. As different frequencies interact both visually and aurally, complex patterns emerge to create interference phenomena that probe the limits of our perception.
20Hz is a Semiconductor work by Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt.
Audio Data courtesy of CARISMA, operated by the University of Alberta, funded by the Canadian Space Agency.
Co-commissioned by Arts Santa Monica + Lighthouse for the Invisible Fields Exhibition at Arts Santa Monica, Barcelona. 2011-2012. Supported by the British Council.
Catalyst
This sound installation in the Lending Library presents a series of collaborative works by a number of Sheffield based writers and sound artists.
In 2011 composers from the University of Sheffield Sound Studios (USSS) were asked to produce a work drawing on Brian Eno's concept of 'ambient music' - music that could be subtly diffused into the atrium space at Bank Street. These compositions were played throughout the day and the writers spent an hour free-writing in response to them. These initial responses were then developed into poems by the writers and then were recorded reading their poems. These sound recordings formed the source material for a new series of compositions - in some cases settings of the poems themselves, in others more abstract manipulations of the source material.
Catalyst is a collaboration involving Bank Street Arts' Poet in Residence Angelina Ayers; writers on the MA Writing at Sheffield Hallam University; Bank Street Arts Resident sound artist Ian Baxter and fellow composers working from the USSS.
Animation/Pixilation Workshop
Children's Library session beginning 11am, 12pm, 2pm and 3pm (4 x 45min workshops)

To book a place email - kidsandteens.library@sheffield.gov.uk
or tel. - 0114 273 4734

In this workshop you'll learn how to make use pixillation to create animated films. You and your parents or carers will also find out how to film animation at home using your home computer, a webcam and free software. No experience or equipment necessary - just bring yourself!

Places are very limited, so please book in advance to avoid disappointment.
Sssh! There's going to be a FREE secret film show for kids at 1PM, somewhere in the Library...
Are spy pigeons and lost mechanical aliens your kind of thing? Do you know a cat who belongs to Simon? (or is it a Simon who belongs to a cat?)...
You can only find out the secret location for this screening when you collect a free golden ticket from our information desk in the Winter Garden. Make sure you get there early, it's first come first served and there are only a few places available for this extra special, hush hush event for those in the know. The films are suitable for any age but children must be accompanied by an adult.
These films are 100% guaranteed to totally amaze you... here's a sneak preview of what you will see...
The Lost Thing by Andrew Ruhemann & Shaun Tan (Passion Pictures, Australia 2011). This film won an Oscar for best short animated film in 2011. A boy finds a strange creature on a beach, and decides to find a home for it in a world where everyone believes there are far more important things to pay attention to.
Pigeon Impossible by Lucas Martell. This amazing bagel bite-sized adventure was 5 years in the making. It's the tale of Walter, a rookie secret agent faced with a problem seldom covered in basic training: what to do when a curious pigeon gets trapped inside your multi-million dollar, government-issued nuclear briefcase?
Love Over Goldfish by Janet Jennings and Jon Harrison. Have you ever seen a movie that is upside-down from beginning to end? Well the star of this film has, he's lived it! He's a goldfish and this is his life story. Love Over Goldfish was filmed in Sheffield, see if you can spot any familiar locations (but don't get a crick in your neck;)
Thanks to all the staff at Sheffield Libraries for hosting this event.

Quality of life: from safe food to data protection
What does quality of life mean for you? Safe food? Accessible medical care? Breathable air and clean environment? Strong consumers’ rights? Or knowing that your data and privacy are safe? European Parliament holds improving of the quality of life in the EU high on its agenda. Read more here and follow 4th ReACT conference on quality of life on 23 January in Rome live!
In the past few years, European parliament worked on wide range of rules to improve the quality of life in Europe: ensuring safe and accessible medicines and medical treatments, strengthening passenger rights, enabling consumers to buy clearly and correctly labelled food, cutting CO2 emissions and preventing other environmental pollution, but also making sure that privacy of European citizens is protected and their data safe. Read more in our Top Story.
Three of those topics: environment, health and food and the “European way” to protect them are to be debated during fourth ReACT conference “Cutting Quality of life: past, present and future” that takes place on 23 January in Rome. Chef Carlo Cracco, climatologist Riccardo Valentini and Professor Michele Mirabella present their points of view and debate them with the audience. Conference is moderated by geologist Mario Tozzi. Follow live and comment #Reactroma via links on the right.
ReAct Roma is the fourth in a series of five interactive conferences on subjects vital to the EU, ahead of the European elections in May 2014. They take place in different European cities where opinion leaders will share their ideas about today's issues. Previous events were dedicated to jobs and employment (15/10 Paris), EU in world (14/11 Warszawa), EU and finances (5/12 Frankfurt). The fifth event will be about EU and economy and will take place on 20/2 in Madrid.

22-24 March
Sheffield UK
Navdeep Singh Dhillon and Sona Charaipotra attend Jakara 2009: 1984 - Reflect. Respond. React. Discussion on contemporary youth Sikh issues relating to Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, K.P.S. Gill, Indira Gandhi's assasination, the rise of religious extremism, terrorism, the Delhi pogroms aka delhi "riots." victims of 1984
Various Artists
Wednesday 6 November, 7:00pm - 9:00pm
George Orwell
168 Perth Road
Dundee, DD1 4JS
Join us for a curated evening of Artist short films from around the globe. Based on this year’s festival theme REACT; NEoN has selected a series of films covering topics such as gender, environment and immigration.
Featuring work by BOM Fellow Emily Mulenga and other artists Georgie Roxby Smith, Jenny odell, Elaine Hoey, Chloé Galibert-Laîné, Shelley Lake, John Butler, Kevin B Lee, shawné michaelain holloway, Jennifer Chan, Shelly Lake and Greg Bath.
Full screening notes:
Max Almy, Perfect leader, (1983), 4 mins. 15 secs.
A satire of the political television spot, Perfect Leader shows that ideology is the product and power is the payoff. The process of political image making and the marketing of a candidate is revealed, as an omnipotent computer manufactures the perfect candidate, offering up three political types: Mr. Nice Guy, an evangelist, and an Orwellian Big Brother. Behind the candidates, symbols of political promises quickly degenerate into icons of oppression and nuclear war.
Greg Barth, Epic Fail, (2017), 5 mins. 32 secs.
Epic Fail is an avant-garde essay that questions what happens when political discourse fails to connect with voters, and truth is impacted by fake news. Based on the political events that shook 2016, the film imagines a reality that is both forged and blurred depending on how we perceive it; using existential currents inspired by Jean Paul Sartre’s Nausea.
The result is a surreal political satire that revolves around a vote for world peace that has dramatic consequences.
John Butler, Xerox’s Paradox, (2018), 2 mins.
A new workwear collection for the age of intelligent supertasking. Xerox’s fear of a paperless office led to the GUI, which, in turn, led to an explosion in the amount of printed matter. Xerox’s Paradox is about technology’s broken promises. The more we automate, the harder we must work.
Jennifer Chan, *A Total Jizzfest*, (2012), 3 mins. 22 secs.
A sample of the richest, sexiest men in computer and internet history.
Chloé Galibert-Laîné, My Crush was a Superstar, (2017), 12 mins. 30 secs.
This desktop documentary follows an ISIS fighter through a trail of messages, videos and postings to uncover his existence in both social media and reality. Part of Bottled Songs, a series of video letters investigating desire, power and terrorism in online and social media. The videos, recorded from the researchers’ desktops, depict and interrogate their subjects’ compulsive engagement in the production of everyday myths and fictions about themselves and others.
Elaine Hoey, Animated Positions, (2019), 9 mins. 47 secs.
This work draws reference from 19th century European nationalist paintings and explores the role of art in the portrayal of jingoistic patriotic ideals that have become culturally symbolic in the formation of the nation state. This piece re-animates the war like stances and positions of bodies found within these paintings, using character animation taken from the video game Call of Duty. The work challenges notions of nostalgia for the nation state, creating a contemporary critique of the underlying violence that underpins much of todays nationalistic ideologies.
Shawné Michaelain Holloway, GEAR-REVIEW(1)__BEGINNERS-VEST.MP4, (2016), 1 min. 55 secs.
GEAR-REVIEW(1)__BEGINNERS-VEST.MP4 is a response to internet’s “Gear Review” video genre. Using a video sourced from Youtube’s preparedness community alongside a video of the artist performing live for her leather community, this work asks questions about the ways we get to know, use, and care for our objects. Whether them for war, for sex, or both, we’re obsessed with function and feature, forcing fetish into the realm of the domestic and accessible.
Shelley Lake, Polly Gone, (1988), 3 min. 9 secs.
A day in the life of a robot.
Kevin B. Lee, The Spokesman, (2018), 12 mins. 30 secs.
The Spokesman investigates the online traces of John Cantlie, a British news reporter who was kidnapped in 2012 and later appeared in several Islamic State propaganda videos. Responding to Cantlie’s videos, Kevin analyzes Cantlie’s British accent and professional composure, constructed over many years of media appearances. Part of Bottled Songs, a series of video letters investigating desire, power and terrorism in online and social media. The videos, recorded from the researchers’ desktops, depict and interrogate their subjects’ compulsive engagement in the production of everyday myths and fictions about themselves and others.
Emily Mulenga, Now that we know the world is ending soon…what are you gonna wear?, (2019), 4 mins. 5 secs
Religious imagery and symbols of capitalist excess intertwine under the ever-watchful eye of CCTV cameras. Loneliness occurs even in the most crowded, noisy and colourful of rooms. Fractured identities span the online and offline worlds. Late-stage capitalism has left us with a disconnect from others and from a spiritual centre, and consumerism purports to fill the void; but never truly satisfies. There’s a condition of perpetual information overload in an oversaturated, neon, dystopian cityscape. There’s also a rabbit.
Jenny Odell, Polly Returns, (2017), 3 mins. 2 secs.
Polly Returns is based on Shelley Lake’s 1988 computer animation, Polly Gone, which features an isolated female robot doing everyday tasks inside a futuristic dome house. In my version, the robot has returned in 2017. The soundtrack is inspired by the original from Polly Gone, which itself was based on the soundtrack from The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Georgie Roxby Smith, Lara Croft Domestic Goddess I & II, (2013), 2 mins. 14 secs.
Georgie Roxby Smith’s hacked Lara Croft Tomb Raider video game shows the familiar icon for violent femme fatale bad-assery in the throes of orgasmic housekeeping, a scene that could be read as neo-Friedan, with her “domestic goddess” subject trapped between the banally physical and the extraordinarily virtual. The value judgments are unclear, the equation destabilized, as Croft joyfully irons shirts with a bow and arrow slung over her back, letting out cries that are undiscernibly battle grunts or orgiastic moans.

React, Respect, Intersect was created by two professional artists and a team of youth artists as part of the Groundswell Community Mural Project’s flagship Summer Leadership Institute (SLI). SLI teams spend seven weeks during working with artists and community-based organizations, learning job skills and creating public art throughout New York City. This mural depicts a utopian environment where vehicular traffic, pedestrians of all ages and abilities, bicyclists, skateboarders, and animals respectfully share the street. It focuses not only on traffic and pedestrian safety education, but also site-specific themes and cultural diversity.
The safety education focus of this mural was informed by workshops lead by NYCDOT Safety Education. The artists and youth artists researched safety issues near the mural site which influenced their final design. Speed of vehicular traffic, high levels of carbon dioxide in the air, and the need for all modes of transportation to respectfully share the streets are just a few of the themes beautifully integrated in to this mural.

Buzek: “The European Union is the solution to the crisis, not its cause”
The EU is expanding its ability to influence the situation in the world, according to Jerzy Buzek. "Several years ago we had to ask the US for help in solving the problems in the Balkans,” the Polish member of the EPP group said. “Today, thanks to our soft power alone, we brought peace to the region. The same thing is happening in our eastern neighbourhood.” The former EP president was speaking at the opening of the ReAct Warsaw event on 14 November, dedicated to the EU’s role abroad.

Last week we gave two teams of Theatremakers from the Open Exchange Network the opportunity to create a piece of work at the Exchange. It’s a chance for them to explore and develop the way they make work. Using the illustrated children’s book THE RED TREE by Shaun Tan as inspiration, the focus of this REACT is to create an age specific piece for children aged 10 and under. #RXREACT

I should have photographed the whole crazy thing. Absolutely grilled. What was funny is TWIST is up AND dissed. Who woulda thunk it?
I'm wondering whether or not I'm up somewhere in there (other than the sticker) under all the layers. I used to go into that bar a lot back in the day.

What does the EU do with your money? Is it invested wisely? Does it help support sustainable growth? These were the issues debated on the ReAct event in Frankfurt on 5 December where experts and citizens exchanged views on how to make money from the EU budget really count. There was a broad agreement that the EU funds should promote not just economic growth but also solidarity.
