SIMULTAN at Media Depo - Lviv

MediaDepo (Lviv, Ukraine)- a stopping place and convergence of various trends and skerovanostey contemporary culture, a kind of platform for the promotion and development of modern art. On the basis of this platform we seek to represent and develop new concepts of production , presentation and discussion I cultural products. Project goals - to find opportunities for interaction and development of art and digital / electronic / media culture and to find mechanisms to change the social and general cultural process, the better.
“MediaDepo” - a project of finding ways and laying of communication between past and present. However, this road that leads to change and expand the cultural discourse of the city, means the creation of space communication active “past” and “modern”, “official” and “subcultural”, “meynstrimnoho” and “parallel.” An important aspect in the deployment project is the combination of what happened in the past in the development of new media art with a definition of contemporary cultural context and presentation of media art.
The project was founded in Lviv in the spring of 2008 and started a concert of experimental electronic music of Dmitry and Katya What Zavoloka (Kyiv) in support of programming and video from AKUVIDO (Berlin). In autumn 2008 it became part MediaDepo Week of Contemporary Art in Lviv and was the first program under the slogan “the potency of emptiness.”

2011: “Why suffering Prometheus?”
Subject for 2011: this year MediaDepo goes with the title “Why Prometheus Suffers?”. The major Focus is Art in the Age of Technological Disaster: Relation Between tekne, Technology, Art and Human Thinking. This year humanity celebrates 50 years of first space adventure for a man and at the same time 25 years of Chornobyl disaster. Prometheus brought to us tekne, however we still have troubles with using it. Can art help?

SIMULTAN_‘Transiting Memories’
Video works from the Simultan Festival archive, compiled by Levente Kozma

Memory is the precondition of narrative, and when it is disturbed or it is malfunctioning, narratological coherence and efficiency suffer as well. In fact, narration not only depends on memory. It is inherently constructed by it as well, as seen in the omnipresence of memory-based techniques like retroversion or flashback – in any narrative. By recalling or recognizing previous experiences, ‘Transiting Memories’ is trying to deliberate the relation between time and space, reality and fiction from different perspectives - increasing the imaginary with sarcasm and absurdity. These works are compiling personal and collective histories, returning time and time again to memories of the past, that establish in addition a highly personalised image repertory of our time.

Sillyconductor live @ SIMULTAN 2010

First heard during the improvisation at “Sambata Sonora”, in Bucharest, the 15 euro Ventichitara is an electronic instrument in its own right. Made out of three Chinese USB-powered fans, some iconic guitar pedals and no cable connecting them at all, it is basically a primitive synthesizer with 3 WCO’s (Wind Controlled Oscillators) and one LCF (Luck Controlled Filter).
Since the Ventichitara is basically powered by wind, you never know where it’s going to fly, but it usually goes dangerously low.
