Qubit

Qubit Qubit is a contemporary music and performance art initiative founded in 2010.

Its principal mission is to foster the development of emergent voices by working with young composers whose work has yet to reach wide audiences and to explore and develop new. Starting its twelfth season this year, Qubit has made a significant mark on the international landscape of contemporary music and experimental culture. Recognizing the surplus of exceptional ensembles and performers current

ly working in New York, Qubit focuses on programming adventurous and risk-taking works of art. In addition, by establishing as its core practice the integration of cutting-edge music technologies, Qubit challenges conventional curatorial practices and strives to engage audiences in unique and new methods.

Qubit presents: “Varpcast”, February 24th, 7:30pm at the Center for Performance Research in Brooklyn.

Radio gives order to chaos, domesticating natural and geopolitical forces into the rhythms of daily routine. In Iceland and Aotearoa/New Zealand, radio has had an especially defining impact. The radio archives of these “remote island nations” are full of little dramas in which the global sagas of the last century play out on kitchen-counter stages.

Celeste Oram, Keir GoGwilt & special guests present a zany live radio show that - with music, multilingual banter, and technological sleights of hand - talks back to this archive, and to the 20th century, from the network of islands the show’s creators call home. These island stories offer much to considerations of the future, and what constitutes self-determination in a globally indebted world. Because everywhere is far away from somewhere – yet no-one, and no nation, is an island.

Created with support from APRA AMCOS, Creative New Zealand, Berlin Hauptstadtkulturfonds, Deutschlandfunk Kultur, Ultraschall Festival. Qubit’s programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

Meet the innovators (II): working with Qubit for the very first time, Ryoko Akama creates site-specific works that infuse both aural and visual occurrence as one entity, creating ephemeral situations that magnify silence, time and space.

Her works sculpt domestic appliances and scrap wastes with invisible energy, especially interested in heat, magnetism and gravity, into kinetic contraptions.
