NOISEMEDE 2013

Last 17th of August 2013, and for second consecutive year, we made the NOISEMEDE festival from RuralC association.
This festival approaches noise and electronic experimentation to rural landscape.

We collaborated with Acas Saumede, association that unearth from undergrowth this abandoned small village to rehabilitate and invirogate it from culture and coexistence with the environment. Located in a forest reserve in A Bola (Ourense), between Xinzo de Limia and Celanova.



This year 2013 we programmed 6 Galician bands, workshops, installations, and diverse activities that have got that the festival is a festive meeting, but also a teaching event and approach to sound experimentation and nature.
You can see a detailed programme here.

We appreciate the work of everyone who has contributed and helped voluntarily.
Thanks also to the participants and those who came to enjoy another year of this event.

FICH 2013 Chantada

We were in the 2013 edition of FICH - Festival Internacional de Chantada. Our intervention as Dio3stu consisted of a lecture-concert about circuit bending.
We played some pieces with our instrument Gosto Moito, including Destroy pasodoble.

La Cooperativa

 

Our society has advanced in technology and medicine, and that has made human life is prolonged. But in which conditions is prolonged?
However, social progress has been much less; and such a positive thing as prolongation of life has became a social problem. What about the elderly?
What we ask ourselves is, what do we do with our lives?


"La cooperativa" is a documentary about a group of people who associated to build and living together in a social center for seniors.
This film shows that time when the center is already built and members of the cooperative leave their homes in Madrid to start living together.

Trabensol Cooperative consists of residents of different neighborhoods of Madrid linked to social movements. The center is located in Torremocha del Jarama (Madrid). Their proposal is to cooperate in order to self-manage an active and dignified old age. For more information, please visit Trabensol  web.

An audiovisual project by José Jurado with the support of Ayudas a la Creación Contemporánea Matadero Madrid 2011 of Madrid City Council.

We have been involved on this project, working on its management as RuralC, editing audio and video as Fur Alle Falle and creating the soundtrack as Dio3Stu.

We leave you here a funny teaser we also did.

Tetris CODECO

On Saturday 11 de Mayo we were performing as the brain and dealers of Tetris CODECO
a Esferobite´s (@Juan Lesta & Belén Montero) project.
Now we're part of the history of a project we admire: http://codeco.org/
It happened in the MAC (A Coruña).

Dio3stu installations, circuit bending in nature.

From Dio3stu we are preparing 5 pieces to install them at Illa das Esculturas (Island of Sculptures) in Pontevedra. They are circuit bending machines that are inserted into trees and natural places in the sound walk that runs beside river Lérez.

If you want to see more pictures, details and hear how they sound, go to the post we have published in Dio3stu blog HERE.

Montenoso

Montenoso (the land is ours) is a project that was born in Summerlab 2012 in Alg-a Lab, Valadares, Vigo, in which we collaborate as RuralC with other collectives and associations, working in an openly and transparent way, with pads, trellos and regular meetings at Mumble. A project that aims to visualize the MVMC (Lands of Neighbors in Common Ownership) in Galicia. The MVMC in Galicia represent a type of ownership and management of property, that breaks the classic public / private dichotomy. The specifics of these lands is determined by the fact that the property goes to the residents who daily live in that territory. This form of commons affects more than 640,000 hectares, 33% of Galicia.

The objectives of this project are:

- Giving visibility to communal lands and communities that manage them.
- Supporting the (re) appropriation of these lands by the neighbors to guarantee the sustainability of the territories.
- Encouraging community members to be participants in the multifunctionality of lands and its revaluation.
- Learning from their genesis and management mechanisms.

To reach them we are developing three devices:

1) LAR: research space about commons and related topics.

2) Cartography that visualizes each MVMC with its contents.

3) An Intervention program.

During these 10 months we have worked in various groups: internal coordination, funding, LAR, Communication, Design (creation of logos, images, pictograms, ...).

Through the site www.montenoso.net you can follow our publications and see more deeply the project.

#ToqueaBankia with choke

Some years ago, watching dirties dances we found choke dance. This song, "choke con toque", was one of the few of choke style we liked, refers to ball culture. As you know we closely follow #15m and other activist groups, as Interviene Gila or #TubasuraAlBanco. This year though #Opboladenieve we found an interesting open debate that visualizes movements beyond typical demonstrations. Actions as the escrache proposed by PAH, the #OpLolaFlores, #cierratucuenta, and others that you can see in this pad via @tirorere. Trying to give a bit of atmosphere to the #15m2013, and with this idea of a sexy citizen movement, we made this video to support the action #ToqueaBankia which consists of "coming all together at a branch office of Bankia, in a fixed day and make peaceful and weary actions to block it: playing dominoes, paying invoices in cents. Putting down complaint forms so slowly and all you can think of".

Democracy's party

Some months ago José Jurado gave us a series of etchings he did when he was in Manchester, for us to complement them with colours and material.
Images taken from the mass media, later passed to this classic etching technique and then manipulated with collage and paint.

Images which reflect those moments of celebration of democracy in Spain so far in this century.

We think you might like to see this series on these days when corruption becomes a tradition in this country.

There is an etching we haven't published yet, with confetti from the last carnival.

O Faiado in Culturgal

This year we´re the curators who are programming "o Faiado" (the loft) in Culturgal, the Galician Cultural Industries Trade Fair, in Pontevedra.

"O Faiado" is a compendium of creative responses, ways of living, and socio cultural behaviors that happen today. Projects that somehow are developed from or towards the commons*. In these projects, creativity and development tools are linked not only to the "cultural", but also to the economy, permaculture, politics, or the physiological.

Proposals that start from a deserted village, a tale of a furrow, or a wifi network that goes deep 33.786 kilometers into rural independently of communication companies.

* The commons is a new way to express an old idea: some goods belongs to everyone and form a constellation of resources that must be actively protected and managed for the common good. Commons are the goods we inherited and create together and we hope to leave to future generations.
