Earlier this year the Vermin Twins (Micha Volders and Lotte Vanhamel) released their intriguing and innovative debute album “Exoskeleton” which was a cocktail of freestyle experimental pop, dance and electronica with an avantgarde edge. Now they have released a video for the title track of this album.

This is what they said themselves, on their Facebook page, about this new video:

“Vermin Twins made a new video for “exoskeleton” just for fun! No budget, no crew, no hifi equipment but a handheld digital camera and a lot of work!”

We think the video is a fascinating and strong piece of work and it shows that their talent also applies in the visual presentation of their music. Creating this level of work with minimal resources is something you don’t see a lot these days. With virtual no budget, Lotte and Micha manage to create the full package in this video: music, sound, dance and visuals melt into a strong and exciting performance.

New York based artist Joseph Moore wrote the software “Permutations” for the currently running exhibition Brion Gysin: Dream Machine on display at The New Museum for Contemporary Art in New York. The Exhibition is a retrospective of the work of the painter, performer, poet, and writer Brion Gysin (born 1916, Taplow, UK–died 1986, Paris). Working simultaneously in a variety of mediums, Gysin was an irrepressible inventor, serial collaborator, and subversive spirit whose considerable innovations continue to influence musicians and writers, as well as visual and new media artists today.

The “Permutations” software by Joseph Moore is a “version” of the program developed by Ian Sommerville and Gysin in 1960 to permute poems. Moore has attempted to create a realization of the work that is sensitive to the original and its process. At the same time, it is a new version, a collaboration done in the spirit of an artist whose work provides a critique of conventional notions of authorship. Moore believes that it is also in the spirit of the work to share copies of it and made his “Permutations” Software avilable to download from Github. The concept and artistic process of this project is fascinating.
