Noise project – Challenge #1 The Pulse
We announced a little while ago that we were part of the Noise Intercepted project, a global art project curated by Labspace Studio (a creative agency & art house in Toronto, Canada). Noise Intercepted is a series of ten experience-activated noise challenges that prompt participants to listen, observe and interact with their urban soundscape in new and unlikely ways.
Challenge #1 is in and so is our entry – see below
Noise challenge #1: The Pulse
If your city had a defining sound, a defining pulse, a defining heartbeat, what would it sound like? look like? or feel like? …where would you go to find it? You have 1 week to venture outside and find the pulse of your city.
We thought for the obvious right away, we need to capture a sound, the pulse. And at night where sight is diminished by the darkness. But we were wrong, the pulse was visual. We started walking down the street trying to hear out for the pulse of the city but we found visual signs everywhere that we immediately associated to the pulse. We had found the pulse: the light.
Then focusing on the light, we sat back and listened and all sort of sound patters came to life. we had found the origin of the pulse: us, humans.
We make the pulse, we are the pulse of the city.
This ‘ME’ Of Mine opens tonight!
After many months of preparation and efforts, Jane Boyer, the curator for the “This Me Of Mine” show, is about to welcome visitor to the first leg of the 4 that makes up this project. Tonight, it will happen at APT Gallery in Deptford – full details at the bottom of this post as well as for the other 3 other legs of the show.
Jane Boyer says – “The financial support and professional recognition by ACE signals their belief in the project message, the mission and goals of Associated Artists Curators & Writers (AACW) – an organisation created to help independent arts practitioners succeed, and in me as curator and project manager. The significance of this grant by ACE in this financial climate gives hope to a future for independent practice in the UK.”
This ‘Me’ of Mine presents a model project for art as social enterprise in the mainstream arts through AACW and seeks to inspire others in the arts community to new approaches in arts presentation, engagement and development.
This ‘Me’ of Mine showcases work by: Aly Helyer, Edd Pearman, Jane Boyer, Darren Nixon, Hayley THarrison, Melanie Titmuss, Annabel Dover, Kate Murdoch, David Minton, Anthony Boswell, David Riley, Sandra Crisp, Sarah Hervey, Shireen Qureshi, and Cathy Lomax.

The incredible digital art of Erik Johansson
Erik Johansson is one of those guys who have raw talent. He excels on digital photography and produces outstanding results. And you know what? He has not have any formal training in photography or studio art — or even classroom instruction in Adobe Photoshop
Erik Johansson is keen on surreal landscapes and often depicts characters trapped in their surroundings in some temporal break down.
We have included below the Cut & Fold (2012) piece as well as a very interesting video that will show you how Erik Johansson got to the end result.
Here is what the digital artist says about the work: “Inspired by the cut-along border of a magazine coupon, I wondered what a landscape would look like if it were peeled back along a road’s dotted line like a coupon.”
