<br />
-Dress nice and add a simple name badge<br />
-Partner up (some home owners are dangerous to rationale)<br />
-Knock on ten doors of a street and if someone is home, politely <br />
say: <br />
<br />
“Hello. Sorry to disturb you, but we were wondering if you <br />
had some time to discuss the non-existence of any god?”<br />
<br />
<br />
-If refused entry, please apologize to the Homeowner for time inconvenienced and mention at that at NO TIME was insult offered. Make haste to leave.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
-Make haste from any premises where the Homeowner starts walking out of the Home and lecturing you on any known organized religion. Boring vitriol and possible violence against your person is stupid, silly and highly probable. <br />
They are the chosen ones and you must beware of them.<br />
<br />
-If admitted to the home, discuss the following points:<br />
<br />
a)Religious faith perpetuates our inhumanity to each other. The Middle East crisis is tragedy. It is also theologically based violence and war, over a holy Mountain. Political gain through religious belief and yearning for ownership of the shared holy place insures a constant religious influence on Middle Eastern politics.<br />
<br />
<br />
b)Moderate believers passively keep a global cycle of violence constant. They do not obey their Holy Book verbatim; ignoring their god’s literal word, yet harbour a hazy belief system that embraces and perpetuates organized religions. They will not wear a bomb, but will turn a blind eye to the actions of martyrs in the name of their god. Crazy, they will say.<br />
<br />
c)Organized religions have control of nuclear warheads through <br />
a variety of Governments. Movements such as the End if Days millennial Christians, prophesy a welcome apocalypse and the return of Jesus. <br />
Hindu and Muslim governments are theologically opposed and share the India/Pakistan border. Both governments have nuclear capability. <br />
Unlike a secular body, these groups have belief systems riddled with good, evil, paradise and intolerance of non-believers, surely clouding what reason exists when in charge of such potential destruction. <br />
<br />
d)Recommend writers on Atheism: Richard Dawkins,<br />
Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris.<br />
<br />
e) All organized religions squash Female rights. Women of Islam <br />
wear burquas, Hindi women marry at 11, catholic women <br />
stay pregnant and without birth control and some Pentacostal<br />
mothers must refuse life saving blood products for their <br />
children. It is rare for any church to have senior female <br />
members in its hierarchy.<br />
<br />
f)Thank your Homeowner. Finish your cups of tea and leave. Don’t be a wanker and bang on.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tally up your refusals with your sit downs and hopefully one in ten has given you time of day to try and remind people of Humanism and make them aware of the stupidity of a popular legitimized invisible friend.<br />

<a name='more'></a><br />
two steps performance<br />
<br />
step one: <br />
(you need a pen, pencil or whatever color you can find)<br />
-Go to the chosen galleries, in a chosen city preferably in an art-district<br />
-Sketch some art tracks, as big and colored as you want, in the gallery's guest-book<br />
-do it in as many galleries as you can<br />
<br />
step two (after around ten days):<br />
(you need a pair of scissors, photo or video camera and six cards/insignias/posters with the following message: <br />
“THIS IS A HAPPENING”<br />
“THIS IS AN EASY AND SMALL ART FORM”<br />
“IT COSTS $ 20.00” (the price is variable...)<br />
“BUY IT AND IT WILL BE YOURS”<br />
“THANK YOU”<br />
-Go to the same galleries that went to in the step one and search for your sketch into the guest-book<br />
-Look for the gallerist and bring the guests-book to where the gallerist can see it <br />
-one performer cut the drawing piece from the book and offer the piece of paper to the gallerist while the other performer shows the five card sequence<br />
-try to hold the gallerist’s reaction and document it<br />
-send the documentation to The Grossi Maglioni Magic Duo email: info@thegrossimaglionimagicduo.comDaniele Balithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07864577739624908666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746215218447710447.post-34397665127258219752009-09-16T17:54:00.000-07:002009-09-16T17:55:49.002-07:00Instructions for The Stethoscope Project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3408/3500957159_a935d92a2b.jpg?v=0" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3408/3500957159_a935d92a2b.jpg?v=0" width="150" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Project A (amplified version)<br />
<br />
technical ride:<br />
2 x modified stethoscope<br />
2 x self made pre-amplifier<br />
2 x balance audio cable (into mixer)<br />
1 x small mixer<br />
2 x audio cable (out from mixer)<br />
2 (or more if needed) x speaker<br />
2 x DV camera<br />
2 x light<br />
2 x chair<br />
2 x video cable<br />
2 x projector + screen (or LCD or anything else)<br />
<br />
2 rooms / spaces (one for performance, one for screening)<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
instruction for performance:<br />
plug everything and modify the EQ from mixer to avoid noise.<br />
set the two channels of signal as separate left and right sound of heart beats.<br />
in a room/space with no audience or the performer are far from audience.<br />
give them lights, on faces.<br />
they sit on chairs, face to face.<br />
maybe keep the knees side by side that keep bodies in short distance.<br />
take off coats.<br />
wear the stethoscopes.<br />
listen to each other's heart beat and make sure always look at each other's eyes.<br />
listen and look, let the atmosphere rise.<br />
ask a question to another one when one feel time is comes.<br />
no need to answer, ask question back when feel it's the chance.<br />
end, and to next performance.<br />
<br />
instruction for realtime projection:<br />
set up two screens in another room/space side by side.<br />
or put two video on one wide screen.<br />
each speaker should be set up close to the screen/video which is from same performer.<br />
no need to stop the audio/video transfer during two performances.<br />
it will be perfect if the screens and speaks can be set up on street or other public space for passing by people.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Project B (non-amplified version)<br />
<br />
technical ride:<br />
2 x normal stethoscope<br />
<br />
instruction for performance:<br />
anywhere, anytime, anyones.<br />
lights on faces, or even in dark if you like.<br />
with thin cloth or naked if you like.<br />
be close, face to face.<br />
wear the stethoscopes.<br />
listen to each other's heart beat and make sure always look at each other's eyes (even in dark).<br />
just keep listen and look, until...<br />
ask a question to another one when one feel time is comes.<br />
no need to answer, ask question back when another one feel right.<br />
end.<br />
<br />
(this is also suitable for people who has trouble on audition or speech)<br />

accept all invitations you receive. Say yes to<br />
everything. Follow up all requests, honour all dates and agree to all<br />

In the event of a double booking, honour the original invitation first and<br />
attempt to make the second one just after.<br />
You’ll work it out. No excuses should be tolerated.<br />

The process shouldn’t be documented, and should be a disruption to your<br />

<br />
Two people are asked to represent the space via image.<br />
<br />
Two people are asked to describe the space aurally - which, if so desired, can happen in a performative way - of which a sound recording is made available.<br />
<br />
Two people are asked to describe the space in written text, the length of which fits on 1 page A4.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The six representations are made available within the actual space for the audience,<br />
<br />
Ideally the space in question would be the exhibition space used for The Invisible Generation, or an adjoining, but publicly accessible space.<br />
<br />
The instruction is tied to my personal interest in how to capture different points of view in different media and how any possible hierarchy between them can be dissolved.Daniele Balithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07864577739624908666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746215218447710447.post-13021995780563216652009-09-11T17:41:00.000-07:002009-09-11T17:42:09.707-07:00Work on your smile.Work on your smile.<br />
<br />
Try out a natural way of whitening your teeth. <br />
<br />
Remember one of my nan’s saying about burnt food, ‘oh it’s like charcoal, it’s good for your teeth.’<br />
<br />
Take it a step further and think of other dark solid stuff. Go find some coal.<br />
<br />
Drive to Hazelwood Power station in the La Trobe Valley, Victoria or your closest coal fired power station, perhaps even a coal mine.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
If you can only find brown coal that will suffice for the exercise.<br />
<br />
Sit down in front of the entrance of the fire station, or anywhere comfortable that you might at some stage face someone.<br />
<br />
Take 2 pieces of coal, about the size of a 20 cent Australian coin. Rub one up and down your teeth, as if brushing your teeth. Once you have built up some saliva and crunchiness in your mouth, try the other piece. Alternate pieces until you get a sense of rhythm. Go with it. <br />
<br />
There will be a stage perhaps that you feel that’s enough, saturation point. Or maybe it feels really dry.<br />
<br />
Check the level of grit in your mouth. And smile as wide as you can. Try and get someone to smile back at you.<br />

AmericaAllen Ginsberg<br />
<br />
America I've given you all and now I'm nothing. <br />
America two dollars and twenty-seven cents January 17, 1956. <br />
I can't stand my own mind. <br />
America when will we end the human war? <br />
Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb <br />
I don't feel good don't bother me. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I won't write my poem till I'm in my right mind. <br />
America when will you be angelic? <br />
When will you take off your clothes? <br />
When will you look at yourself through the grave? <br />
When will you be worthy of your million Trotskyites? <br />
America why are your libraries full of tears? <br />
America when will you send your eggs to India? <br />
I'm sick of your insane demands. <br />
When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I need with my good looks? <br />
America after all it is you and I who are perfect not the next world. <br />
Your machinery is too much for me. <br />
You made me want to be a saint. <br />
There must be some other way to settle this argument. <br />
Burroughs is in Tangiers I don't think he'll come back it's sinister. <br />
Are you being sinister or is this some form of practical joke? <br />
I'm trying to come to the point. <br />
I refuse to give up my obsession. <br />
America stop pushing I know what I'm doing. <br />
America the plum blossoms are falling. <br />
I haven't read the newspapers for months, everyday somebody goes on trial for <br />
murder. <br />
America I feel sentimental about the Wobblies. <br />
America I used to be a communist when I was a kid and I'm not sorry. <br />
I smoke marijuana every chance I get. <br />
I sit in my house for days on end and stare at the roses in the closet. <br />
When I go to Chinatown I get drunk and never get laid. <br />
My mind is made up there's going to be trouble. <br />
You should have seen me reading Marx. <br />
My psychoanalyst thinks I'm perfectly right. <br />
I won't say the Lord's Prayer. <br />
I have mystical visions and cosmic vibrations. <br />
America I still haven't told you what you did to Uncle Max after he came over <br />
from Russia.<br />
<br />
I'm addressing you. <br />
Are you going to let our emotional life be run by Time Magazine? <br />
I'm obsessed by Time Magazine. <br />
I read it every week. <br />
Its cover stares at me every time I slink past the corner candystore. <br />
I read it in the basement of the Berkeley Public Library. <br />
It's always telling me about responsibility. Businessmen are serious. Movie <br />
producers are serious. Everybody's serious but me. <br />
It occurs to me that I am America. <br />
I am talking to myself again.<br />
<br />
Asia is rising against me. <br />
I haven't got a chinaman's chance. <br />
I'd better consider my national resources. <br />
My national resources consist of two joints of marijuana millions of genitals <br />
an unpublishable private literature that goes 1400 miles and hour and <br />
twentyfivethousand mental institutions. <br />
I say nothing about my prisons nor the millions of underpriviliged who live in <br />
my flowerpots under the light of five hundred suns. <br />
I have abolished the whorehouses of France, Tangiers is the next to go. <br />
My ambition is to be President despite the fact that I'm a Catholic.<br />
<br />
America how can I write a holy litany in your silly mood? <br />
I will continue like Henry Ford my strophes are as individual as his <br />
automobiles more so they're all different sexes <br />
America I will sell you strophes $2500 apiece $500 down on your old strophe <br />
America free Tom Mooney <br />
America save the Spanish Loyalists <br />
America Sacco & Vanzetti must not die <br />
America I am the Scottsboro boys. <br />
America when I was seven momma took me to Communist Cell meetings they <br />
sold us garbanzos a handful per ticket a ticket costs a nickel and the <br />
speeches were free everybody was angelic and sentimental about the <br />
workers it was all so sincere you have no idea what a good thing the party <br />
was in 1835 Scott Nearing was a grand old man a real mensch Mother <br />
Bloor made me cry I once saw Israel Amter plain. Everybody must have <br />
been a spy. <br />
America you don're really want to go to war. <br />
America it's them bad Russians. <br />
Them Russians them Russians and them Chinamen. And them Russians. <br />
The Russia wants to eat us alive. The Russia's power mad. She wants to take <br />
our cars from out our garages. <br />
Her wants to grab Chicago. Her needs a Red Reader's Digest. her wants our <br />
auto plants in Siberia. Him big bureaucracy running our fillingstations. <br />
That no good. Ugh. Him makes Indians learn read. Him need big black niggers. <br />
Hah. Her make us all work sixteen hours a day. Help. <br />
America this is quite serious. <br />
America this is the impression I get from looking in the television set. <br />
America is this correct? <br />
I'd better get right down to the job. <br />
It's true I don't want to join the Army or turn lathes in precision parts <br />
factories, I'm nearsighted and psychopathic anyway. <br />
America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.Daniele Balithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07864577739624908666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746215218447710447.post-76742533559740570332009-09-10T06:59:00.001-07:002009-09-10T06:59:04.011-07:00riot recordingsput a thousand young recorders with riot recordings <br />
