"UnityGain sampler" (2000) by Benton C Bainbridge
UNITYGAIN is not:
a “show” in the usual theatrical sense of the word…
nor can it be strictly defined as a “concert” or “installation…”
it is certainly not a “band…” (digital or otherwise)
it is not even a fixed work of art authored or produced by any particular individual or fixed group of individuals…
( & the hausofouch is not a promotional organ but an idea about what can happen in lieu of one…)
reclaimer—-
UNITYGAIN is:
an ongoing live electronic media performance platform/environment inviting a diverse consensual group of sound and image makers to “plug in” to a unifying spacio-temporal technological matrix designed to promote balanced spontaneous synergistic interactivity among all constituent elements over time in co-relationship to a participating audience within shared social space amid “pooled” production resources. UG is, foremost, an idea in the direction of an ongoing social experiment among a shifting group of participating artists geared to test and explore new models for interacting in the face of other more prominent vastly unsatisfying commercial and institutional normalsies…
No two unitygain events are ever that much alike, although some aspects remain remarkably consistent over a broad range of variables in space, time, and participating individual artists…
we hope it stays that way…
