[1] IMPAKT EVENT INSTALLATION + PERFORMANCE

----18 June - 4 July, 2004
----BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Lange Nieuwstraat 4, Utrecht, NL

Umatic were invited by the Impakt Festival to collaborate with Aeron &
Alejandra/Lucky Kitchen for an exhibition in the BAK Gallery in Utrecht
on the theme of urbanism. An installation and a performance were the result.

----Performance "Psychonavigators"----
Working with field recordings, instrumental fragments and found maps,
Derek Holzer, Christian Toonk and Bas van Koolwijk created a lush
audiovisual environment for the opening of the exhibition,
18 June 2004. Samples from this performance can be heard here:

----Installation "Urban[ism]"----
As people travel through space, points between destination are often
neglected. In their multi-channel audio and video installation, Umatic
members Ryan Parteka, Bas van Koolwijk and Christian Toonk have
transferred this in-between volume of the urban space to the gallery
space. Two projectors and a four channel sound system capture and
represent urban space for one to consider what lies in-between.
