11 interactive Works on sound. Some of them
are very simple, others more complex, but all are very Inter-related.
All this pieces conforms an investigation of relations between
sound and space, dynamics, energy and interactivite. They
are classified in 5 categories -every p'ece could have more
than one categorie asociated-: - binaural: sounds in space;
each sound intensitie is in relation with his distance to
each hear. - synthesis: uses wave synthesis technics to
generate dynamics in space. - physical model: mechanical
models (gravity, elastics, bounding, friction...). - random:
uses stochastic models to generate dynamics and sound.

Agreeing with Deleuze, the revolution of
simulacrum is to introduce a break in the ontological classical
distinctions between essence and appearance, original and
copy , true and false, natural and artificial. At BIOevents,
organic shapes in a latent state, remains in the webspace
until carried by an interactor intervention, put in action
an image poetic-visual repertory, which exists like dynamic
entities in constant metamorphosis. Flow from manipulation,
the beauty rely in their morphogenesis: the viewer becomes
co-creator. BIO prefix which means life, is the main subject
where scripts which simulate it were developed around.

Besides the Catholic church , which used
quite elaborate principles in its counter reformation campaign,
Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda, was the
first to form principles of contemporary propaganda. The
principles, used at first only for the purposes of war and
politics, are now involved in total mass communication.
In this present moment one cannot tell the difference between
means of propaganda, advertising, entertainment, or education.
All of these mass communication activities actually deal
with selling of some sort of ideology. The methods employed
are the same - manipulating with great variety of the feelings
of the target audience. The world has become a ground for
a huge communication network where there is no difference
between selling soap, ideology, good feelings or politicians.

Destroyevil.com by Katie Bush is a site of
Evil animations, created the night after George W Bush's
'Axis of Evil' speech. Each day, the artist adds an additional
animation inspired by themes of war, corporate influence,
suburban life and compounding consumerism. Stylistically
the animations conform to a white/black/red/green format
representing a good/evil/stop/go mentality. Each looped
animation quietly explores the increasingly violent influences
of our socio-political realities. Consumerism + Military
= Hooray! Snowballing militaristic memes (bombing, bombing,
bombing) visually trample and/or coincide with banal, suburban
narratives (shopping, shopping, shopping) in a re-evaluation
of the American Dream... And why not?! Everyone loves Shopping
and Bombing!
Known throughout the world as 'America's
Favorite Lady', Katie Bush has been exhibiting digital and
analog works since 1993 in venues throughout North America,
Australia, Europe and South America.

Intervals explores a series of characters
whose investigation of self and identity unfold and elide
through a sequence of cinematic interludes. Hovering through
an amorphous landscape we begin by observing the mirror
images of four animated figures. At once seductive and illusive,
these portraits successively expose their most intimate
selves through accounts of lost innocence, fear of the unknown,
masculine ritual and the mystery of love. Here identity
is subject to slippages, distortions, and to filmic alter
egos that mimic and echo their subjects' memory. "Horvath's
innovative use of pop-up windows create a virtual collage
that posit identity as a series of random 'memory acts'
but whose inquiry accumulate into a slowly revealing narrative
of the human condition."- Celina Jeffery
