Alex W. Dujet. MOTTO DISTRIBUTION »Blog Archive» Audimat: Number O. The Napping Electronics. Audimat: Numero O. Les Siestes Electroniques. Cette année, les Siestes Electroniques élargissent leur champ d’intervention en éditant pour la première fois une revue, baptisée Audimat.Une vraie revue, pas un magazine ni un programme du festival : des articles long format sur la musique, écrits par des contributeurs français ou étrangers, pas forcément issus de la presse spécialisée. L’idée est d’ébaucher en langue française un discours critique exigeant, sans être abscons, sur la pop music, son histoire, son écoute, sa diffusion dans le monde. Il y est donc question, en vrac, du rapport du groove au langage, de l’esthétique propre aux morceaux rares dans le rock, de la nécessité de continuer à chroniquer des albums à l’âge du iPod, ou encore de l’affirmation du désir dans la Hi-NRG. La direction éditoriale d’audimat est assurée par Guillaume Heuguet et Etienne Menu, et la direction artistique par officeabc.

Michael Schoner: Z Step (detail) Amsterdam-based architect and designer Michael Schoner is responsible for these pieces, and yep, they’re pretty damn great.
They can store and display objects in all sorts of different configurations, and the furniture itself can be swapped and changed around – a bit like life-size lego blocks. It’s the kind of item you imagine might, some day, be in your super-awesome penthouse apartment where you’ve so much extra storage space that you can have this little exhibition area for all the amazing stuff you’ve somehow acquired. But for now, we’re in the real world and very happy to sit back and appreciate Michael’s Z Steps , and discuss the work with the great man himself. Michael Schoner: Z Step. Sheet metal Hi Michael, firstly, are these works designed with retail or home-living in mind, or both? I designed the Z Steps more with retail in mind, however I have gotten some feedback from people, stating that they could also imagine it in their house. BVD. PETER SUTHERLAND. ‘Stairway Cinema’ Installation / OH.NO.SUMO. Designed by OH.NO.SUMO, the ‘Stairway Cinema’ installation experiments with architecture and the way it can engage with the public in unique and exciting ways.
This project takes inspiration from the site and its inhabitants. Located at the busy pedestrian intersection of two inner city streets in Auckland, New Zealand, the installation offers a very simple programmatic response to recognize and counter the issue of how a community must be linked not only virtually but also physically. More images and architects’ description after the break. It is located between two universities and is a place of ‘unconsidered waiting’. Bus stops and laundromats create a dispersed hard-scape that results in numerous instances of poor quality waiting, while simultaneously failing to provide quality space for social interaction. Members of the public retreat individually into the media offered on their mobile phones. The structure is a slender timber truss frame constructed from 24x24mm pine members.
