Work in progress by Timothy Nohe:
Sounding Botany Bay, Sounding Gamay
This non-traditional photographic installation is accompanied with an audio composition that explores the human use of Botany Bay, New South Wales, Australia, from the first human settlement to the present. In live concert performances I shape the rich voices and sounds of the Bay into an aural landscape that heightens and contrasts what is, and has been, so that the listener may experience the past and contemporary complexity of this site. Photographs made at locations throughout the Bay document the natural and built environments.

Doings:
Nohe will perform with Marian Glebes as "bunny & chick" for "Art's Birthday 2009", kunstradio,Vienna, Austria, January 17, 2009.
Ama : Story : Time was performed as part of Avant Audio Answers, an event hosted by Leon Josowitz on behalf of the Creative Alliance, Baltimore on September 17, 2008. The work featured field recording of Amalie Nohe-Moren drifting off to sleep, percussion, toys, electric guitar, signal processors, music boxes, and voice. Performed by Nohe and Marian Glebes.
My curatorial proposal Into the Light/Into the Dark has been selected for inclusion at School 33 Art Center, Baltimore for exhibition from October 30 - December 13, 2008. Into the Light/Into the Dark links common metaphorical concerns focused on the theme of light. The artists, Bonnie Crawford, Phil Davis, John Sturgeon, and Christian Valiente all work with light modulated through analog systems via “low” or now “lapsed” technologies. The exhibited artists are multigenerational, emerging from the advent of video as an art form in the 1970s and continuing to the post-mortem investigators reanimating analog video and electronic circuits today. The exhibition opens with a concert of improvised electro-acoustic music by Steve Bradley, Andy Hayleck, Devin Hurd and Timothy Nohe on Saturday, November 1st from 8:00 - 9:00 PM.
I've updated documentation for W_nt_r, a suite of three sound sculptures placed in an exhibition at the James Backus Gallery at the Maryland State Arts Council in winter of 2006.
I curated Antipodes a screening of Contemporary Australian Performance Art and Music Videos, which was presented on May 9 & 11, 2008 at AREA 405, Baltimore, USA. The term “Antipodes” may be defined as “any two places or regions that are on diametrically opposite sides of the earth,” and in fact over 9,700 miles separate Baltimore from Sydney. However, there are many commonalities shared between the Australian and American artists, and the screening bridges the distance quicker than the 24-hour flight to the Land Down Under.
Antipodes presented works by the Shangrila-La Collective organized by Maria Cruz for Artspace Visual Arts Centre, Sydney; and individual works by Lisa Anderson, Lisa Andrew, Daniel Blinkhorn, Warren Burt, Catherine Fargher, Derek Kreckler, Maria Miranda and Norie Neumark, Eugenia Raskopoulos, Jacky Redgate, and Justene Williams.
Indicium: an archeology of the ubiquitous was featured in Sonic Residues at The Consortium for Digital Arts, Culture and Technology (cDACT) at Stony Brook University, 29 April - 12 May 2008. Zabet Patterson writes: "Timothy Nohe’s work is titled Indicium, a Latin word that means, data, information, evidence, indication, or pointer. He presents an index of the evolution of the mobile telephone, casting phones from the mid-1980s to the present in beeswax. A form of sonic production—and a technology calculated for obsolescence—is repositioned on a velvet display table, an object to be fetishized. The act of casting causes us to pay attention to the form that moves between disappearance and appearance—intended to be easy to use, it falls away from our attention. As a status symbol, it appears, insistently, tricked out and flashing with color and light. In beeswax, it becomes subtly tactile, glowing with patina."
In January 2008 I worked as an artist-in-residence at Hazelhurst Art Centre, Gymea, NSW, Australia while recording interviews and ambient sound at Botany Bay.
My electro-acoustic audio/video work F-16 was selected for inclusion in HIPERSONICA-2007, with installation at the SESI Gallery, São Paulo, Brazil. Exhibition dates: 14 - 17 August 2007. F-16 was also selected for presentation at the Australian Computer Music Conference 2007, TRANS: Boundaries / Permeability / Reification, 19 - 21 June at The Australian National University, Canberra.
Bellagio Caramello, my contribution to Jeffrey Lopez and Lauren Rosati's Ice Cream Headache project was blurbed in Time Out. During the American Memorial Day weekend 2007 an ice-cream truck traveled through the boroughs of New York City, playing a continuous audio loop of compositions derived from jingles. “I think people’s disdain toward the Mister Softee truck isn’t the volume, but the repetition,” says Lopez. “You’re like, Oh God, that jingle. But it’s characteristic of New York. I mean, this is a noisy, vibrant place.” Listen to a streaming MP4 version of Bellagio Caramello with your Quicktime player or iTunes.
I joined Andy Hayleck and Steve Bradley in a set of solo concerts of new electro-acoustic works at Tranzducer, presented at LEMURplex, located at 461 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, between 9th and 10th streets (map), on 27 July 2007. I debuted a concert version of Sounding Botany Bay/Sounding Gamay.
I presented research and past sound installations to the Art Forum at the Australian National University, Canberra, 23 May. On 4 April I lectured to students instructed by Norie Neumark in the Media Arts & Production program at the University of Technology Sydney.
Updated documentation is available for *blink* and body.txt presented at the Patterson Theater, Creative Alliance.
Indicium: an archeology of the ubiquitous. Mobile phones cast in beeswax. Indicium was presented at Capilano College, Vancouver, Canada between 5 February and 5 March 2007. In Australia, recycle your old cell phones with Mobile Muster. Special thanks to Didier Balez.
I performed in 1/4_inch, a monthly series of events that showcase international touring artists within Australia. I debuted Fanfare for Alison Knowles and Pathetic Science on 4 October 2006, at the University of Wollongong. Concert statement.
While living in Australia I participated in locus sonus, which revolves around the use of multiple audio streams. The streams are basically channeled via the Internet as open-microphones, continually uploading chosen sound environments, as playable material. In this installation a parabolic microphone was lashed to a 1.5-drain pipe that jutted out from my studio window at the University of Wollongong. Downshifting trucks on the Illawarra escarpment, drama majors, a box frog and Sulphur Crested Cockatoos were heard with some frequency.
I lead two sound art courses, Tangible Sonics and Electro-Acoustics, at the School of Art & Design, University of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia as a Fulbright Senior Scholar.
+es+ pa++erns, an exhibition of alternate treatments on ubiquitous surfaces is installed as part of Artscape 2006. I produced a bus stop poster mosaic using NASA imagery from the earth-orbiting TERRA satellite.
Odradky - a sound and kinetic intervention project at a former dental clinic, Jungmanova ulice, Prague, Czech Republic. I presented Variations on a Theme by Joe Jones, kinetic sound sculptures produced from detritus found on site, motors, fans, and electronics. 19 - 30 May 2006.
Lecture, 31 May 2006 at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Germany.
The
Board of the Australian-American Fulbright Commission selected
me as a 2006 Fulbright Senior Scholar. I will pursue
a research project titled Sounding Kamay / Sounding Botany Bay a surround-sound DVD
audio work, and teach two courses at the School of Art & Design of the University of Wollongong, New South Wales.
Beroun, Interactive Video and Electro-Acoustic Sound workshops and performances, Czech Republic, 18 - 26 February 2006.
