Playing with cameras and experimenting with imagery, from around
the corner to around the world. Shooting life and nature, many
bodies of water, birds & fish... Drag Queens too. oh, and
documenting police injustice.. Working in lots of places, positions
and realities. I make pretty lush imagery, to compensate for the
darkness in our world. http://www.petershapiro.net/ http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=peetyweety
Zemi17
is back in Brooklyn working out of 23 windows in Bushwick
after living in Indonesia 2004 – 2006. Zemi focus from experimental
electronic music (that often flirted with minimal techno, a genre
self proclaimed as "Space Haus") shifted to studying
Gamelan and regional Indonesian folk music. He lived in Yogyakarta
and focused on learning a rare strange archaic form called Sekaten,
and then moved to Bali to learn yet another rare seldom played
sacred gamelan called Slonding. In 2006 he began to fuse the concepts
and energies learned from study of Indonesian music with the work
and intentionality he had before the move. In the recent months
since returning Zemi has performed and produced experimental music
as "Orkestra Jangkrik dan Gamelan Listrik Aneh" (The
Cicada Orchestra and Strange electric ensemble of strikeable instruments)
and has expanded the Zemi17 genre into a unique fusion of minimal
techno made with gong samples and snips of insect field recordings
and has recently composed for the video sculpture of Disney Nasa
Borg, new dance work by Erin Ellen Kelly and is working with video
artist Jeanne Angel on a multi channel audio video installation.
