Anomalies Urbanistiques Bruxelles
Pendant le pleinOPENair, le Centre Intake de “Anomalies Urbanistiques Bruxelles” est ouvert au public. Les archives de AUB seront consultables au Snack Speedy. Mais aussi, des habitants de Bruxelles et des visiteurs du festival pourront ajouter à l’archive du centre des expériences curieuses et des observations de situations exceptionnelles qu’ils ont rencontrés à Bruxelles, sous toute forme concevable. Sur place, un formulaire peut être rempli mais vous pouvez aussi apporter des photos, des objets exceptionnels, des récits et des objets trouvés.
AUB : but
Pour s’accoutumer aux structures urbaines et interroger les perspectives habituelles sur Bruxelles, l’UAB signale et collectionne des manifestations extraordinaires, exceptionnelles et aliénantes dans l’espace public de Bruxelles.
AUB Drapeau
Le logo de AUB combine le lion et le coq, les logos de la Communauté Française et de la Vlaamse Gemeenschap. Cette mutation reflète la nouvelle forme de vie qui résulte de la fusion des cultures différentes dans la communauté Bruxelloise.
Le drapeau est réalisé en collaboration avec constant vzw

Ping! lo-bat and wendy cause balearic hysteria
July 28th, 2004 by pierre_d
Should have uploaded some images sooner but summer is there to be lazy.
So, during Ping! there was this very nice and hot evening with Wendy Van Wynsberghe and Lo-bat playing.
Wendy’s concert was very relaxed and open to communication with the audience, including sounds that were relevant (and fun) for everybody in the room.
Interaction with the audience also caused interesting mix of styles ^_-
Lo-bat is doing extremely danceable stuff, playing only with Gameboys running the LittleSoundDJ software.
Nobody could resist the appeal of the 8-bit chip tunes ^_^
leading to some headbanging excess

Ping! The pocket knife story
July 22nd, 2004 by wendy
Wednesday 14/07/2004.
I have to catch a plane from Palma de Mallorca to Brussels, departure: 9h40.
So, I need to get up at 8h00, in Andratx in the cultural centre Sa Taronja. I stumble to the coffee machine with too much luggage. And then we go off in the lovely jeep with driver Laurent (and Stefan and Emma – or was Emma in the other car- bzzzt, brain does not recall – small malfunction).
I keep telling to Laurent, that I have to look for my pocket knife, so I turn my backpack (a H*dgren Extreme – which is sweet for my back) upside down. I do not find it and I say,ah, well, darn, if you find a pocket knife in Sa Taronja, it is mine!
We go into the airport, check-in, the whole thing, They allowed me to carry 2 pieces of hand luggage 🙂 🙂 a mixing desk + my backpack.
The metal detector…
Pling, my backpack goes in, and they say I have to empty it.
It goes in again, and in the little English the guards know, they say knife!
Aaargh!! knife!! naughty knife!!
So I empty everything: a list: laptop + minidisc + electricity cable + microphone + wallet + sunglasses + book on mp3 and the music industry “Sonic Boom” + headphones in a bag.
In a bag…
In a bag with a knife.
Darn dammit :,ù:$^;:ù;µM%¨?¨£?%.768273682374 []´`´~~~
A minimal discussion follows, everybody stays very gentil. It turns out that Palma does not have a special drawer with all homeless pocket knives. So they give me an alternative: run to the checkin, because the airlines sometimes send it with a bill$$££€€ to where you want to. I grab the padded envelope around my minidisc to put the knife in, and I run run run. (change floors + this airport destined for mass tourism is quite big!). I delegate my other luggage to the lovely Emma and Stefan.
I arrive at the checkin.
Empty….
(imagine the sound of wind in a desert – whistling)
Big eyes, pulsing muscles (and pain and out of breath).
Run up again because I hear: Flight 842 is….
occo quatro dos (my spanish is baaddddd)
AAA!!
aaaaa!!!
I run run run, and My brain is whirring: chuck the knife in the bin:NO!
I am almost at the metal detector again: I pass by one more shop.
And I decide to give them my knife.
I quote: “Hi, I cannot take this, a friend will come and get it, is that ok?”
The three employees stood there nodding – there was that sign of linguistic recognition…
And then I run run run – what was the name of that shop again – something with fruit!
I “push” a bit to get through security -> pointing at the speakers and the announcers repeating flight 842.
Pfew, I got through, with a sympathetic smile of the lady police oficer.
And then, run for my life.
Gosh.
One thought on repeat: I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight! I don’t want to miss the flight!
Then this lady sends me the wrong way, oumpf!
And then I see Stefan and Emma in the buss. Sigh, ouch my lungs!
In the buss. I cannot speak anymore. My lungs prefer cycling above running.
Last action before lift-off: phone to say where my pocket knife is staying.
I am next to the plane, with the engines on, I produce some cryptic phrases as the battery of my mobile phone is low. The woman with the pad-dy things is saying: turn it off, turn it off.
And then, I have to leave my knife in faiths hands….
And look: !i!i!i!i!
Laurent found it! He had to check 14 shops – I guess the “fruit”-advice did not really help. According to some little bird, he was going to stop after that 14th shop. But it was the right one!
This is the Ping! notice, we had to do all kinds of stunts to hang those things on the watertanks. Humm, George and Peter did the stunts, I was the captain.
(o^v^o)
Ha, and finally, Lolita – with the knife – nooooo not to take her to the hamland. Lolita is a very nice Mallorcan pig. If you pass Andratx, go visit. She has some nice bosses too.
(-_^)
Again, thanks, L!

Ping! Pinhole camera
July 22nd, 2004 by wendy
Stefan Tavernier gave a pinhole camera (camera obscura) workshop in Mallorca, in the beginning of the month of July.
This is a website where you can see some of his work (he also still works with a pinhole camera, among others).
It is not very difficult to make the pinhole camera’s: you need a good box, black paint, a piece of a can (drinks) with a tiny tiny hole you make in it. Then the measurements of the hole and the dimensions of the box, and the available light determine how to make your picture.
I hope to have some scans of the pictures made -yes they are analogue – duh!
These photo’s are made by Clara and her – fancy schmancy 🙂 – mobile phone.

Ping! Concert WVW
July 22nd, 2004 by wendy
Ok, ok, is this self-promotion? – could be, but this picture is soooo funny.
Check out the beast in front!
Niou niou, the pregnant bull terrier.
(picture taken by Clara’s mobile phone)
Now, this my first concert I am really pleased of. The atmosphere was superb, relaxed, the content was to my liking and there was an interactive aspect. Midi was working fine. And I could adapt my set to the setting (where I was, who was there etc etc).
I will try to upload some sound, but that is for later.

Ping! To boldly go where no one has gone before
July 21st, 2004 by Peter
To boldly go where no one has gone before; workshop by Peter Westenberg
Centro Culturel Sa Taronja, Andratx, July 10 and 17, 2004
This workshop produced a collective visual and auditive report of a walk of 1.5 km through the streets of Andratx. Every 25th step one image was captured by each of the participating walkers, culmulating in a series of approximately 800 images and soundbites. The individual observations display surprising simularities in choice of subject, style and camera handling. Watching the films playback simultanuously delivers an interesting excercise in visual memory. Team: Laurant Thurin, Pierre De Jaeger, Peter Westenberg, Nicolas Malevé, Ursula, Stephan Bohnenberger, Nathan Dérégnieaux and Milena Bochet.
