Red Sounds Like A High F
Neil Harbisson was born with a rare vision condition called achromatopsia; complete color blindness.
"Since 2004, an antenna sticks out of my head that allows me to hear the color spectrum, from near infrared to near ultraviolet. My head has turned into a music box. I can hear the sky, I can listen to my mother's eyes and I can hear rainbows.
I don't feel that I'm using technology, I don't feel that I'm wearing technology, I feel that I am technology. I don't perceive my antenna as a device, I perceive it as a part of my body, I perceive it as an organ."

So these would sound like 440 Hz and under (F# and under). Earplugs, anyone?

Countdown: VIENNA FAIR
Carbon 12 is going to be at Vienna Fair this year. 10 - 13 October 2013. Will you?
This will be an exhibition of art for art. The variety in medium encourages remembrance that whichever format it begins, it always ends with the visual.
Bernhard Buhmann: Dreamy, colourful, dense paintings celebrating the surrealist inner world, Gulliver-and-Lilliputian style.
Ghazel: Mixed media paper and ink works, maps, black and a sensation of suffocation discussing the contemporary problematic of displaced identity.
Sara Rahbar: Assemblage and sculptures with carefully collected "found" war-souvenirs, discarded objects and self-cast bronze limbs; all kinds of heavy.
Anahita Razmi: Pop-culture appropriation dealing with identity and gender in humorous video and performance mediums; one watch isn't enough.
Artist talks included.
Want to see the works?

The Ghazelian-Method
Ghazel (b. 1966, Iran) is at the top of her performance art game even though she has been dealing with the theme of "displacement" since the mid-90s; it takes a lot of skill to make a 20 years tried-and-true topic continuously interesting and relevant. How? Well... that's Ghazel's secret know-how but I think it probably has something to do with her sense of humor.
Family Tree is the latest extension of Ghazel's seminal Me series and arguably her most personal of a very personal exploration into her own history as a displaced being (Iran, France). She relives her childhood with anecdotes in her child-self voice, printed simply on photographs or in short videos and accompanies the text with emulations of the characters she speaks of, in a black and white, anti-formalist, almost slap-stick style. For example, her dog:
Did I mention every character wears a chador? Curious why? Read the exhibition text on Family Tree for a deeper look into why she does what she does.
