From the Scanner e-letter-
Anyone in London might be interested in a free Scanner show
being recorded for BBC Radio Three's Mixing It show. I will be
improvising live with David Cunningham on guitar, sharing a live bill
with Sand and Capitol K. It's at Ocean 2 in Hackney on March 20th but if
you are not sharing the cold wet nights of London then you can listen to
the performance at 23.00 on BBC Radio Three on Sunday 24 March but even
then if you miss it, it will be archived for a year afterwards.

Also coming up in March at the Tate Modern in London on March

'Surveillance and Control' will consider widespread uses of electronic
surveillance, analysing recent social and political developments, and
asking how various surveillance technologies have impacted on new media
art practice. Guests will include Julia Scher, USA, Marko Peljhan,
Slovenia, Kate Rich, UK / Australia & Duncan Campbell, UK. It will also
be broadcast live and then archived at:

Scanner + I/O - Biospheres: Secrets Of The City (FREE)
Brisbane Powerhouse Friday April 5 @ 19.20 sharp
Biospheres: Secrets Of The City explores the hidden resonances and
meanings of sound and image that lie beneath our everyday surroundings.
Taking the urban environment, architecture, streets and the
neighbourhoods that map the framework of the city itself as the
inspirational focal point, this work attempts to re-assemble Brisbane
and its surrounding spaces through its fringes. Focusing on the sounds
that have become invisible through familiarity, Biospheres: Secrets Of
The City also explores the neglected architecture that dominates the
urban environment.

DONUT
An installation by Mike Stubbs
Sound by Scanner
8 Feb - 17 March
CCA 1
Free
Donut is a twin dvd projection and 4 monitor installation about the
drawing of a perfect circle. The creator of this circle is a driver, not
an artist - the canvas is asphalt and the medium is a car.
Donut is the term used by young fast-car enthusiasts to describe a
circle of burnt rubber made by spinning a rear wheel drive car on the
spot. It represents bravado and skill on the part of the driver who is
usually part of the car cruising culture - one of Britain's biggest
underground movements.
