Archimedia

Archimedia explores public space through various media: film, sound, samples, in creating their elaborately considered public audio performances.
In 'ambient unities' their first performance at SBB, they combined multiple
projections with laptop sampling and Korg synth to create a building, some
would say "beautiful" - soundscape to accompany various excerpted cinematic
landscapes having to do with media and the city. This time around for Small
Black Box Archimedia presents a new work, "Lost Cities Redux: Homage to
Baghdad" using dual-screen projection, soundtrack sampling and other triggered
noises, riffs, voices, and sounds intertextually, Archimedia creates a unique audiovisual culture jam "duel" in which the borders of urban spaces are
refracted through the multiple lenses of popular cinema samples,
juxtaposition, chance, and audio busting. Through cinema's codes, this
critical soundwork is performed as a duel of live splicing to "crack" the  
bellicosity and excesses of contemporary globalized culture.
