ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Mei Zhiyong梅志勇 (China)
http://site.douban.com/meizhiyong/room/2668342/
http://www.fuzztape.com/
Harsh noise performer, founder of the tape release label Fuzztape, and member of the Chinese noise collective NOJIJI. As a noise artist, he is looking for insane expression of high volume harsh noise, and unusual ways of releasing sound from all kinds of device.

Naturalismo (Italy)
www.monstresparexces.com
Previously known as Istituzioni Ambienti Naturalismo. It all starts with a microcassette recorder wandering in Rome subway, taping live cut-up bursts of saturated city life. Shifts to harsh noise that struggles to keep a buried layer of melody. Sometimes fails at it. Explores the sounds of lights, sonorizes short video studies on lenses and lightning. Converts to silent sounds, the breath of small things, the daily tinkling sounds of lived houses. Explores minimalism with irony, always loyal to cheapness and imperfection. Dissects an acoustic guitar with a screwdiver. Keeps going.

Yellow Crystal (Hong Kong)

http://soundcloud.com/heivard

ABOUT CIA (Cultural Industries Association)
Through our regular programs of concerts, art exhibitions, film screenings, seminars and workshops, it is our hope to bring to you not what have we seen already, but rather how we perceived these ideas, their contexts, and how these seemingly abstract concepts can affect and relate to our everyday lives. To prompt changes, renew our senses and debase our previously fixated point of views, this is the only way to a future – any future away from here. According to Plato, we live chained inside a dark cave; all we can see is the back wall and the shadows that move there. Carl Jung called this his shadow work. That what we in fact seeing are aspects of ourselves that fall over one another. Shadows. Projections. Our associations - of the culture industries.
