\nJapanese Puma Mimi<\/a><\/strong> is in Tokyo, waking up on Saturday morning. Swiss Tim<\/strong><\/a> is in New York, live on our stage. Mimi gets transmitted via skype direct from Saturday morning to a Friday night at Galapagos Art Space in NYC. Cool.<\/p>\n

Swiss Tim and Japanese Mimi met in the Netherlands 5 years ago. Since, they’ve recorded songs in trains, airports, via skype and around the globe. ‘one two three Tim and Puma Mimi’ is their third release.<\/p>\n

‘…what the duo Tim & Puma Mimi deliver is a fast and crazy mix of cheerful tunes. Breakbeat, J-Pop, even blip minimalism and a good portion of happy groove fuse to a sweet, frisky and at times video-gamish 4-songep.’
\n (on the alpinechic.net<\/a> label)<\/p>\n

Asakomusic<\/strong><\/a> plays analog synthesizer, glockenspiel computer & little tribal instruments. The result, AsakoMusic, is dreamy and spacey, and sung in different languages. <\/p>\n

Asako is an ambient part of different bands and project collaborations such asTiger Fingers, Dead Radar, [a u d i b l e], doroasako, Katja Loher and Das Videoorchester. Asako’s songs are about abstract feelings towards random things – like clouds, airplane, sheep, moons, sun-shines and friends.

Katja Loher<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In her installations Katja Loher (1979 born in Switzerland) merges her ongoing exploration of language and visual form with sophisticated technology and dramatic sculptural awareness.<\/p>\n

The New York based artist orchestrates a variety of mediums and collaborators from around the world. She seeks to deliver precise, as well as poetic metaphors on the ambivalent relationships between power, freedom and dependency.<\/p>\n

Katja Loher projects her video works onto the surfaces of weather balloons and transforms them into Video-Planets<\/em>. In Video-Tellurium <\/em>(2008 work-in-progress) Katja Loher moves the viewer temporarily away from earth into the darkness of space and shows our planet from an exterior perspective. Video-Planets<\/em> with 360\u00c2\u00b0 Projections.<\/p>\n
