GOODBYE EARS FESTIVAL 2013
- festival of fluid and uncertain graphic forms and sounds -
Czentrifuga:
Czentrifuga/No Style Fuckers collective started in 2003 as a D.I.Y. print performance and propaganda project, and it consists of an undefined number of people from different countries, once centered around the alternative silkscreen workshop Fleischerei in Berlin, Mitte. In 2008 the operation has moved to a new place, Czentrifuga, located in Berlin Kreuzberg, and the concept remained similiar, with spaces for screen printing, street art, open source music and video production, design ateliers, gallery and meeting point. NSF has made installations, performance actions and exhibitions all over Europe and beyond, unintentionally provoking and motivating many other small collectives to start their own production.
KOMIKAZE /Zagreb, Croatia
is a publisher and network for spreading comic activities on the World Wide Web, electronic and brief Press distribution of mostly young authors comics . The aim is to link “Komikaze» comic activists from Balkan region and Europe in order to exchange information and concrete comic products.
In the context of related actions for the organization (armless) resistance against the progressive globalization and the increasing taste of institutionalized artistic production, Komikaze program represents free and altruistic activities of artists from different geo-strategic areas, which connects independent and uncompromising attitude, called the alternative, in relation to the existing dominating artistic practice.

TURBO COMIX /Serbia/France

ELEKTRIKA PANCEVO
Elektrika was started in 2007 as an exhibition/concert venue and grew over time into an international community of artists, promoters and publishers. After numerous street art actions, publications, exhibitions, festivals and residencies, its really hard to list the wide range of projects, cooperations and influences produced by this collective since then, but for sure we can say that Elektrika is slowly disappearing as a physical entity and dissolving into a cloud that transcends space and time. Lately, Elektrika is more and more active in field of paper-based publishing, introducing this time presence of such authors as Boris Stanic, Vuk Palibrk, Vladimir Palibrk, and their comics anthologies: Russian Avantgarde literature in Comics, Distorted Mirror comics anthology, APSURDIUM zine, RSUZ zine, etc...

kNiFeLoOp
Three or four radio receivers and two to four mini-FM transmitters, each transmitting on a different frequency what it is being fed from the receivers or what it picks up from the near field chaos surrounding it. The transmission between the devices is affected by what frequency the receivers are tuned to, the immediate electro-magnetic field, human presence and furniture. The signal is not a sound loop travelling in the area of intervention, but a spontaneous event, resulting from collective action in perpetual movement.
Séamus O´Donnell works on different sound art projects since 1999. Solo or collaborative projects (for performance or installations) can include FM radio experiments with receivers and self built mini-transmitters; reel-to-reel tape machine loop or relay set ups; or a live set with any mix of manipulated field recordings, self made devices and other more traditional instruments, machines and voice.
"Right now I am most interested in the live-sampling of sounds and noises, whether acoustic or electronic, the repetition and manipulation of these samples and the discovery of new sounds on this journey."
A.N.Y. (Angela Nina Yeowell)
is a somatically based vocal-noise musician. Along with processed samples, A.N.Y. plays broken melodies on misshapen instruments, and sings to the resulting waves of intensity, silence and interruption. Her work can sometimes result in visuals, such as the creation of, and performance withnon-musical instruments and sonic costumes.
