This not a new phenomenon, I realize, but I want to know how the visual and other mediums are being integrated with digital work, et al. I know Fennesz did some work with a dance group, maybe, and Jacob Kirkegaard works in installations. Who else, and why is it a good/bad idea?

The only shows I've seen in art galleries have been free jazz/improv.

AMM + Fine Kwiatkowski (dance)
the #@!*ing EN/OF label (expensive LPs pairing electronic/electro-acoustic musician with a visual artist)

fennezz and phillip jeck took part in the organ/cathedral performance captured here:

most of the touch artists tend to do site specific work.

theres also things like farmers manuel, nice disc, david last etc that blend audio and video.

electronicat did an instalation work for our festival last year and the project room in ny consistantly brings in electro and accoustic artists to do site specific or instalation based work. the sculpture center in queens did a whole show of sound art works last spring.

the list can go on and on.

i like the idea of a space becoming a total environment and enjoy the potential provided when an artist is asked to focus their energies for a specific point in time. it can of course go very wrong, but when instalation work is right, its a wonderful and total emersion into a space and can provide a wonderful, otherworldy listening experience.

Not entirely "electronic" per se, but Rafael Toral is moving away from recording and focusing more on sound installations.

You can read about it at his website.

Here in Ann Arbor/ Detroit, Ghostly International artists regularly collaborate with local artists and filmmakers. You can usually find out about such events on their website:
http://www.ghostly.com or through Atmosphere http://www.atmsphr.org

Note: Atmosphere also has a fine, high-quality online radio stream.

Thread: do people think these are mostly mutual collaborations or that the visual artist/choreographer/etc does their work, then the digital artist is interpreting or adding on to it, after the fact?

AGF has written a few pieces for exhibitions & visual installations - http://www.poemproducer.com/freemusic.php and I read in passing she created some kind of piece used by Sonar festival for introductions a few years back (don't have a link for that one).

Björk originally premiered her John Taverner collaboration at an exhibition by Nan Goldin (photographer) although that wasn't an 'electronic' work.

Also, she's writing some kind of soundtrack for Matthew Barney's next piece 'Drawing Restraint 9'. Which I think is a video work, but they usually only get limited releases after being exhibited I've heard. I don't know if this is one of his more notorious 'Cremaster' works.

Cornelius contributes to a few. There was one at the V&A in London last summer, as well as Tokyo JAM a few years back.

xpost - Michela M. I totally forgot about her, despite having her last record!

Thinking about it (above post) it could just as easily have been John Taverner who loaned that track to the exhibition, he did write the track, which Björk then sang on so maybe not exactly a 'collaboration' in the creative process as such.

Ekkehard Ehlers has created music for use in dances by Frankfurt Ballet choreographer William Forsyth.

ekkehard ehlers is involved with a label called whatness which releases some quite good stuff in the vein of visual artist/musician collabs: www.whatness.de
