landmark seizures // workshop #3 // saturday 18th may // report
Yesterday was the third Saturday Workshop of Landmark Seizures 2 (Aid &Abet).
With little need for exterior direction the colour of the day was settled as orange.
Herman Hase led conversions with Amy Feneck and DGGNGNTHRTH on community and use before the ghost of Joseph Beuys was summoned. Beuys’ recommendation for pre-death artists was to have sex with as many people as possible in order that they would have a significant mourning party at the time of their passing and have the best chance at fame. A number of thesis on this topic are currently being proposed at universities across the country.

Video to follow.
Weathering the storm of technology complaints which we have come to see as the reassuring undertone of this entire project, Bad Timing got the Raspberry Pi to hold a stable operating system.
The Film Room Retains an Element of Mystery.
The Soup of the Day was chilli carrot and tomato.
One in every two bottles of “DGGNGNTHRTH N(e)TTL(e) B(e)(e)R” opens with the full force of the coming revolution.
Beatriz completed her installation (an animation is now on its way).
Thank you to everyone involved for making the lunchtime conversation the marathon that it was, and to Amy for proposing the question:
“How do we reclaim artists “usefulness” (from market?) making it a sustainable option for a way of life?”

landmark seizures // workshop #2 // saturday 11th may // report
Yesterday saw the second Saturday workshop of Landmark Seizures. Phase 2 of Nicole Bachmann's audio work began, and phase three was recorded live for those that saw it by Gareth Williams at around about 1pm. Various DGGNGNTHRTH activities continued. Drawings appeared. Also sculptures. Spinach and Stilton was uneaten due to lack of time or dietary restrictions. Bad Timing saved the day as Sitting Room University built their Raspberry Pi media hub. 3pm discussion was foreshadowed by torrential rain as the group discussed the SRU-posed topic "Should art create rational objective knowledge?" the full recording is available at archive.org here

Yesterday saw workshop #1 of landmark seizures take shape in a beautifully robust manner, not unlike the fabrication of a cob wall or some particularly coarse pumpernickel. Molecular, yet firmly established with some some quite dynamic emergent properties.
The hive mind/body of drone engineers AAS built their sonic isolation/emancipation/integration/interrogation chamber “The Infinite Drone Accumulator” in what must certainly be approaching a record time for any architectural object which features a Buddhist/Turrellian rapture funnel.
Please use it.
Their work continues remotely in the space over the next few weeks as a series of sound pieces culminating in the live performance on Saturday 25th May.
*Please bring ear plugs for that*
We are very pleased to announce the Gareth Williams and Becky Whitmore curated film space which should be up and running from next Thursday delivering an as yet secret programme and significantly more clandestine agenda almost certainly involving witchcraft. Details to follow.
The DGGNGNTHRTH loom is in place. Please use it.
The DGGNGNTHRTH jobs board and thought parking area is in place. Please use them.
Thank you very much to the Aid&Abet directors and associates, various artists and members of the public for taking part in the first Saturday Workshop 3pm Discussion Group on the question “where is the responsibility in collaborative practice?” *Audio to follow.*
Next weeks schedule to follow shortly, in the meanwhile Twitter hashtag #landmarkseizures contains more material from yesterday and will continue to be updated.
