Ulf Langheinrich Taipei lecture recording

by lawrence

From Recorderz:

(in translation)

Recording of the Taipei lecture of Granular Synthesis‘ Ulf Langheinrich: part I, part II.

He fired off a lot of pithy criticism towards the academic publishing mechanism of new music, the “gamification” of the current interactive art world and the technique-over-content tendency. Highly recommended for anyone who has worked up to plunge into the world of Max/MSP.

The lecture took place on June 24 in MoCA Taipei, it’s part of the program of Granular Synthesis’ exhibition, which lasts till September. See the official site of the exhibition here. Please note that the above commentary about the lecture is from Rio (LEE Yehlin), the translator of the official Chinese version of the Max/MSP/Jitter tutorial.

  1. Strange to see this unauthorized bootleg recording posted online… the recording (Roland R1) and compression quality is really bad.

    To clarify a bit about this recording - this was not a “lecture” by Ulf Langheinrich. It was planned as an interview, a dialogue between Ulf and myself. Ulf preferred to conduct this session in a question-and-answer or interview format. So i prepared, the day before, the questions that i thought were pertinent and extremely crucial to the “digital art” scene in Taiwan, and we were going to do it as an interview. But as it happened that afternoon at the museum, the interpreter could not follow what Ulf was talking about at all, so during the intermission the Director of the Museum asked me to do the interpretation as well, which i accepted with reluctance, because it was not my role. So, with the time limitation, Ulf went directly into the topics i asked him to talk about. I just want to add that i planned these questions and topics as a direct attack on the heavily misled and highly misleading “technology art” hype that’s taking the Taiwan art circle by storm at this moment.
