Jerome Bel
The second is Art performance "Jerome Bel: 1995" at the Sadler's Wells. A very good serious-but-funny-but-serious performance created by the french artist. Quite "unusual" (well the "Contains Nudity and on-stage urination" warning written on the ticket should have warned me), but the wit tone of the all act makes you quickly forget the strangeness of it. Some more Jerome Bel perfomances coming up soon, definitely worth checking out.
The Masque
Not much time this week to write accurate reviews but just wanted to point out the 2 shows i went to see this week end. First, The Masque of the Red Death at the BAC. Crazy project by the bold guys from Punch Drunk. I know a lot as been said about their plays and about the notion of theatre.....but i just loved it. A must see. Info here.

Something in the Air
"A radio station in Glasgow City Center, Scotland, came up with a brilliant way to promote their launch! An empty guitar stand invited people to help themselves to an air guitar to be played while listening to their station, of course!"

To be green you must!
" Prince Charles beamed all the way to Dubai
The Prince of Wales was beamed in Star Trek-style for his first appearance as a hologram when he delivered a powerful speech on the environment to the world's leaders before vanishing into thin air.
A life-size, three-dimensional image of the Prince was projected onto the stage of the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates.
Prince Charles was beamed for his first appearance as a hologram
Telegraph TV: The holographic appearance saved 20 tons of carbon waste
The Prince was reluctant to attend the summit in person because the flights for him and his entourage would have generated an estimated 20 tons of carbon waste.
In comparison the hologram is thought to have left a carbon footprint equivalent to a lightbulb."
Can't wait for Her Majesty's Lightsaber.

The Senster
"Edward Ihnatowicz was a Cybernetic Sculptor active in the late 1960's and early 1970's. His ground-breaking sculptures explored the interaction between his robotic works and the audience, and reached their height with The Senster, a large (15 feet long), hydraulic robot commissioned by the electronics giant, Philips, for their permanent showplace, the Evoluon, in Eindhoven in 1970. The sculpture used sound and movement sensors to react to the behaviour of the visitors. It was one of the first computer controlled interactive robotic works of art."

Who's who
"Malwarez is a series of visualization of worms, viruses, trojans and spyware code. For each piece of disassembled code, API calls, memory addresses and subroutines are tracked and analyzed. Their frequency, density and grouping are mapped to the inputs of an algorithm that grows a virtual 3D entity. Therefore the patterns and rhythms found in the data drive the configuration of the artificial organism."

Paso Doble
Yesterday was the opening of "Paso Doble" the new perfomance by Miquel Barceló and Josef Nadj at the Barbican. (so no i was not at the not-so-secret Radiohead gig on Brick lane :) )
"Ten tons of wet clay become a playground for an artist and a choreographer in this adventurous collaboration. With startling physicality the two performers axe, sling, slap, shape and reshape the soft clay, using giant tools and their own bodies to produce amazing shapes and structures.
Exploring the act of artistic creation itself, Paso Doble gives a vivid and visceral glimpse into the obsessions, anxieties and excitement experienced by artists in the process of making unconventional new work. Coated in clay like living sculptures, the two performers are almost absorbed into their canvas– themselves a part of the endless work-in-progress."
A pretty impressive show worth seeing.
If you're in the area, hurry up, it'll only last for 4 days.
