From: "Miloš VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ" <milos.vojtechovsky at famu.cz>
the radiogame draft, please check and disperse to people who could be
interested
the concept is still in progress, but it is related to the EBU
framework of transdada express and inspiration by dada and other
avantgard ideas
i would prefere if declamation can be open also for people who dont
have comp and could call from home.
the radio studio can serve then as a transmitting tool and it could be
pretty simple from the tech point
the program for january Inverse Radio is getting to be finished and i
will send the link after it will be confirmed

call for participation
in the collaborative real-time ubiquitarian re-dio-play/game
(inspired by texts and life of Georges Perec and Blaise Cendrars - and
the others as well of course).
PLACES/Anagram
Concept:lemurie.cz
stage: all nods conneced with telephone wire, internet cables or wifi
podium: where the signal is audible
draft:5.12.2005
The radio performance will be broadcasted in the framework of The
Art's Birthday . Net - an annual exchange-art event celebrated around
January 17th by a loose collection of artists and artist organizations
around the world.
http://artsbirthday.net
Theme:
In 1912 the cosmopolite and literate traveller Blaise Cendrars ended up
for a while in Manhattan on his way from Siberia. He wrote there in a
cheap hotel a poem "Les Pâques a New York - Easter in New York". It
compiles his impression from the turmoil and babylonian sound of the
open megapolis where every moment streams of immigrants from all
nationalities, speaking with exotic languages were arriving.
Some doubts have arisen whether Cendrars really stoked trains in China
in his youth, but the memoirs of Marco Polo, Cellini and Casanova and
the autobiographical novels of Jean Genet and Henri Charriere are read
in spite of reliability in all biographical details.
Cendrars was a man of action, avoided "literary" flavor in his prose,
and a man of contemplation, who had almost obsessive need for exotic
experiences.
More then half century later in 1969 french writer and member of the
Workshop of Potential Literature OULIPO Georges Perec began to work on
his Lieux (Places).
The text consisted of descriptions of twelve places in Paris, carried
out every year for twelve years, once on the spot and once from memory.
Perec travelled out of Paris seldom and spent most of his life there.
Text was abandoned half-finished in 1975, but double issue of AA files
contains four of the partially completed "on the spot" stories, "Scene
in Italie", "Glances at Gaîté", "Comings and Goings in rue de
l'Assomption", and "Stances on Mabilon".
Texts seems to be unpolished, and in their attention to the mundane and
"infra-ordinary" sometimes banal, but they offer a fascinating window
on the changing face of Paris and provoking approaches to observation,
description, and memory.
The collaborative chant - the radio play is based on very simple scheme
of a game.
The main and only carrier of the message is a human voice and the
channel is the Internet network - a immaterial medium within the words
are drifting and slowly dissapearing.
The artists and community radio s around the globe will join during the
time schedule for the broadcast.
stream in about 15 minutes a text spoken by male or female voice,
(voices of children are welcome as well, it depends of the local time).
Not profesional voices are most welcome.
The audio files and streams are re broadcasted and mixed, compiled and
re-joined with additional and addtional voices and names
and the chain of syllabus is woven around the globe as shared and
continuous song or orison.
The spoken text can be related to:
1. texts from recipe books for the most common meal in local cousine in
english, russian, japanese,...
2. names of poeple who died last day in the town..
3. names of children born in the last day in the town
4. names if streets in the direct neighbourhood
5. names of citizens who s name starts with P from the local telephone
book
6. names of herbs and trees in the local language
8. anything else which is related to the location and consists of
enumeration
The final result of the mosaic of the disembodied voices speaking in
different langueges and in different accents the names will differ
regarding the spot and time where and when the listener will hear the
momentum of the chant.
It is recommanded to record the broadcast and later to collect all
recordings and compare them.
Inspiration:
The re-adioplay PLACES/ANAGRAM is related to the patterns of
architecture in a wide sence of the term:
includes:
chance and control
words numbers and symbols
algorithm and poetry
repetition and aleatory
death and birth
places and non-places
The broadcast si scheduled for 15 and 17 January 2006.
About Georges Perec
Perec s most popular work Life: a user's manual count s over 100
interwoven stories which concern the inhabitants of a large Parisian
apartment building situated at 11 rue Simon-Crubellier. The structure
of the novel is governed by chessboard of ten squares by ten, knight's
moves, and algorithms.
The building was inspired by a Saul Steinberg drawing of a New York
apartment house with its façade removed. One of the characters is
Percival Bartlebooth, an English millionaire, who decides to bring
artistic and formal control of his life to its outermost limits: he
would study watercolor painting with Serge Valene for ten years, then
he would travel the world for 20 years and paint pictures of different
ports. The watercolors are cut into jigsaw puzzles in Paris. The rest
of his life-plan, 20 years, Bartlebooth reassembles the jigsaws, which
finally are dipped into a detergent solution until nothing else is left
but a blank paper. However, Bartlebooth dies before he has finished all
500 of his jigsaw puzzles.
Georges Perec was born in Paris (March 7, 1936), and died in Ivry
(March 3, 1982). He lived in Paris nearly all his life.
His father fought in World War II and was killed in 1940. While the
Germans gradually took France over, Perec was taken to the country by
relatives. His mother disappeared in Paris, near the end of 1942.
Later, she died in Auschwitz. Perec, an orphan at six, was raised by
his uncle and aunt.
He studied, served in the Army, married, contributed to a number of
magazines, and in 1965 he was awarded the Prix Renaudot for his first
book, the short novel Les Choses (The Things). From then on, he
published more than twenty books, and no two of them were alike.
Perec was a member of OuLiPo (Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle, or
"Workshop of Potential Literature"), a Paris-based group of writers
founded in 1960 by Raymond Queneau and François LeLionnais. Other
well-known members were the Italian writer Italo Calvino and the
American Harry Matthews. OuLiPo tries to expand literature by borrowing
formal patterns from such other domains as mathematics, Logic or chess.
Perec's own books range from novels to collections of crossword
puzzles, from essays to parodies, from poetry to wordgames.
Perec was fascinated by palindromes, which are words or entire
sentences that, when spelled backwards, still read the same: Live Devil
or See, slave, I demonstrate yet arts no medieval sees. Perec created
what is possibly the longest palindrome ever written, "ça ne va pas san
dire," made up from more than five thousand words. (Which is online --
follow the link at the bottom of this page)
Palindromes, anagrams, wordplays and word games are ever-present in
most of what Perec wrote. Another tour-de-force of his was a 466-word
text where the only vowel allowed was A. He wrote that short-short
story in French, although its title is in English: "What a Man!" It is
the story of two characters: Andras MacAdam, e Armand d'Artagnan.
Perec's fascination with vowels made him a master of the lipogram.
Lipograms are texts in which one of more letters are not allowed to
appear; thus, "a lipogram in Z" is any text in which that letter is
absent. The text of the present paragraph, for example, may be
considered a lipogram in the letter that stays between "J" and "L" (all
other letters are featured in it). Raymond Queneau mentions lipograms
composed by classical poets such as Pindar and Lope de Vega.
In 1969, Perec wrote the lipogrammatic novel La Disparition. The more
obvious translation for that title would be The Disappearance, were it
nor for the small detail that the novel is a lipogram in E. The US
translation, by Gilbert Adair, was titled A Void. It is the story of
the disappearance of a man; and in the world from where that man
disappeared, the letter "E" disappeared as well, but nobody (except for
the reader) notices the Kabbalah of substitutions, similes,
distortions, variants and the endless tricks that such a Universe
builds to fill that void. In that world where "Anton Voyl" in French,
"Anton Vowl" in English, is searched in vain by his friends, the
well-known soliloquy penned by one William Shakspar runs:
Living, or not living: that is what I ask:
If 'tis a stamp of honour to submit
To slings and arrows waft'd us by ill winds,
Or brandish arms against a flood of afflictions,
Which by our opposition is subdu'd? Dying, drowsing;
Waking not? (...)
A superficial description like this one may convey the impression that
Perec was just a wonderful word-juggler, all "fireworks" and little
substance. This is not the case. Although never overtly explored his
Jewish origin or the loss of his parents in the War, those elements are
ever-present under the surface of his works. The first impression
conveyed by his texts is that of an "entomological eye", detachedly
observing the behavior of strange, eccentric people.
Perec was always reticent as regards to his private life, but in 1973
he published a book where he recounts 124 dreams he had between May
1968 and August 1972. The book is La Boutique Obscure, loosely
translated as "The Dark Chamber" or "The Obscure Box". His reports on
dreams are tantalizing chunks of scribblings, without much intention to
"retell a story." In 1975, he published an oddball volume of memories,
W, ou Le Souvenir d'Enfance (W, or the Remembrance of Childhood). In
it, he writes about his childhood years but, typically for him, that
narrative is interspersed with chapters about a wholly different
subject: the description of a Dystopian island, named "W", where life
is dedicated to sport competitions.
Perec's single most important work is, arguably, the huge La Vie Mode
d'Emploi -- Romans (Life A User's Manual -- Novels), published in 1978
and the winner of the Prix Médici. In it, Perec describes an apartment
building in Paris, and tells stories about the people who live there.
This is done within a complex structure through which Perec determined
the number of chapters to be used, their length, their order of
appearance, and a random series of elements which should appear in each
one. Behind this intricate pattern, Perec proceeds to tell stories upon
stories, employing a wide variety of techniques, and describing
peoples, places and events with an incredibly richness of detail. The
subtitle "Novels" defines the nature of the book, which consists in
short stories embedded inside larger stories, and stories linked in
parallel with others.
Blaise Candrars
During his life Cendrars worked worked at a variety of jobs - as a film
maker, journalist, art critic, and businessman. Before becoming writer
he even tried horticulture and never stopped trying to earn his living
by extra-literary activities.
Cendrars was considered along with Apollinaire, whom he deeply
influenced, a leading figure in the literary avant-garde before and
after World War I.
In his early experimental poems Cendrars used pieces of newsprint, the
multiple focus, simultaneous impressions, and other modernist
techniques. La prose du Transibérien et de la petite Jeanne de France
(1913), a combination of travelogue and lament, was printed on
two-meter pages with parallel abstract paintings by Sonia Delaunay. Le
Panama ou les aventures de mes sept oncles (1918) was in the form of a
pocket timetable.
Cendrars was closely associated with Cubism but he also published
poetry Jacques Vache's Lettres de guerre, which was edited by Philippe
Soupault, André Breton and Louis Aragon - founders of surrealism in
literature.
Prose of the Transsiberian contains impressions from Cendrars's real or
imaginary journey from Moscow to Manchuria during the 1905 Revolution
and Sino-Russian War. As the train of the title speeds through the vast
country, Cendrars mixes with its movement images of war, apocalyptic
visions of disaster, and fates of people wounded by the great events.
Cendrars traveled incessantly and after 1914 became involved in the
movie industry in Italy, France, and the United States. During World
War I Cendrars joined the army. He served as a corporal and lost in
1915 in combat his right arm. In 1924 Cendrars met in Paris the
American writers John Dos Passos and Hemingway. Ten years later he
became friends with Henry Miller; their correspondence was published in
1995 in English. During a two-week stay in 1936 in Hollywood he wrote
his impressions for Paris-Soir in series of articles which were
collected in Hollywood, la mecque du cinéma (1936). It depicts with wry
humour the movie industry and the town's people. Films were one of
Cendrars's passions - he had worked as early as in 1918 with the
director Abel Gance.
By 1925 Cendrars had ceased to publish poetry. Among his famous prose
works in the 1920s is L'or (Sutter's Gold), a fictionalized story of
John Sutter, a Swiss pioneer, who started the great gold rush in the
northern California, built there his own empire but died in poverty.
According to a literary anecdote, Stalin kept this book on his night
table. Sutter's Gold can be read as the author's exploration of his
inner self, like the semi-autobiographical novel Moravagine ('Death to
the vagina'). In it Cendrars followed a madman, a descendant of the
last King of Hungary, and a young doctor on their worldwide adventures
from the Russian Revolution and to the First World War. Moravinge's
madness becomes comparable with the dissolution of world and the
chaotic disorder of life. "There is no truth. There's only action,
action obeying a million different impulses, ephemeral action, action
subjected to every possible imaginable contingency and contradiction.
Life." Moravigne dies in an another asylum and the manuscript of the
story finds it way to Cendrars, one of the characters in it.
During the German occupation of France from 1940 to 1944 Cendrars was
listed as a Jewish writer of "French expression". His younger son was
killed in an accident while escorting American planes in Morocco.
Cendrars started to publish in the late 1940s memoirs, which combined
travel fantasies with colorful episodes from his life.
In L'homme foudroyé (1945, The Astonished Man) Cendrars walks around
between lines of World War I trenches, spends time with gypsies in a
travelling theatre, and attempts to drive across a South American
swamp. "I am haunted by no phantoms. It is rather that the ashes I stir
up contain the crystallization that hold the image (reduced or
synthetic) of the living and impure beings that they constituted before
the intervention of the fire. If life has a meaning, this image (from
the beyond?) has perhaps some significance. That is what I should like
to know. And it is why I write."- Cendrars received in 1961 the Paris
Grand Prix for literature, a recognition which almost came too late.
Blaise Cendrars died a few days later on January 21, 1961, in Paris.
