In particular, they examine the changing role of human biology in the age of smart machines and genetic modification, and the evolution taking place within the architecture of human communication. _badpacket_ use computer generated imagery, performance, live video mixing and projection, to create a unique layered environment that taps into our hopes and fears for the future of technology. Combining the use of digital, analogue, and live techniques allows badpacket to plunder the immediacy of the internet, the fluidity of live video mixing, and the responsive interactivity of performance. "Yesterday is Now - the War, 55 Years after Japan's Surrender" (video, 96 minutes; February, 2002) Produced and directed by Celine Rumalean (Vancouver, BC, Canada). Soundtrack by Evan Parker, David Toop, Sarah Peebles, Nilan Perera, and Jin Hi Kim. "Yesterday is Now" reveals the divisions in today's Japanese society as it struggles with the question of how to consider the war and Japan's responsibility for the crimes it committed during its occupation of neighbouring Asian countries between 1895-1945. Despite historic differences, this exploration of the past resonates eerily with the present: this is a revealing look at how a country can be mobilized into war, how atrocities can be committed in the name of a "just war," and how consequences of war live on in peacetime. (Music: Evan Parker, soprano and alto saxophones; David Toop, steel pedal guitar, objects, electronics; Sarah Peebles-computer, shô�/mouth-organ; Nilan Perera-altered electric guitar; Jin Hi Kim-komungo and electric komungo.) Tuesday, May 14 7:30 p.m. Preview Screening & reception Tranzac Club, 292 Brunswick Ave (just south of Bloor). Free "Yesterday is Now - the war, 55 years after Japan's surrender" (2002, video, 96 minutes) Directed and produced by Celine Rumalean Soundtrack by Evan Parker, Sarah Peebles, Nilan Perera, David Toop, Jin Hi Kim. "Yesterday Is Now" explores how people in Japan today view the war and grapple with their country's responsibility for the crimes it committed during its occupation of neighbouring Asian countries between 1904 and 1945. Despite historic differences, this exploration of the past resonates eerily with the present: "Yesterday Is Now" is a revealing look into how a country can be mobilized into war, how atrocities can be committed in the name of a "just war," and how consequences of war live on in peacetime. A rare excursion into this Pandora's box of Japanese contemporary society, it explores the construction and reconstruction of the history of the war, and the legacies stemming from its distortions and neglect. A completely out there soundtrack accompanies compelling and deeply moving interviews with Japanese activists, politicians, teachers, artits, young people and some of the far right. Landmark historical footage (the 1945 radio broadcast of the emperor's complete surrender speach) and images of Japan's current city scapes add a central element of contextualization. more information: yesterday_is_now@eudoramail.com c_rum@telus.net Tues, May 7, 2002, 7:30pm Fringe Festival of Independant Jazz Tranzac Club, 292 Brunswick Ave, Toronto (just south of Bloor) "A Synaptic Circus": Smash and Teeny (Peebles and Perera duo), Nilan Perera solo and "Dialogues" (Perera and Suzanna Hood, dance).
