Larynx @ Art Souterrain - Nuit Blanche, Montreal, Canada
February 25, 2012
Station Bonaventure, performances at 6PM and 9PM
Larynx (2011) is an installation featuring a vectorized, digital image of the human voice box. Larynx is the contemporary human voice as a transformed, enlarged, hybrid entity, an imagined voice that resonates in the architecture of the underground metro network in Montreal. During this performance the audience will be invited to sit, lay, and lounge on the image of the digital throat while being serenaded with new music for voice, featuring works by Gee, Loveless, and a collaborative work with members of the performing ensemble.
These songs will premiere new work in a surround environment with performers Agnes Gaudreau, Erin Gee, Stephanie Loveless, and Keren Petrie. The vocal works will feature human voices performing the voice of technological processes, emphasizing hybridity between subjects as material for experimental vocal production.
Media Artist Erin Gee talks about vocaloid Hatsune Miku on the XX Files radio show in Montreal, Canada with Rickie Lea Owens this Wednesday, February 1st at 11:30am.

Sound Art Theories Symposium 2011
Presentation: "Repetition as Radical Referral: Echo and Narcissus in the Digital Environment"
The Sound Arts Theories Symposium (SATS) presents a selection of current theoretical work in the area of sound art. Recent work in sound art theory is multi-faceted, which is why the title above is in the plural. The symposium is particularly interested in presenting papers that focus on critical approaches to sound art that are not necessarily nor primarily related to music. These could include, among many other possibilities, philosophy, gender studies, politics, semiotics, relational aesthetics, narrativity, as well as relationships to studies in the visual arts, architecture, cinema, literature, digital media, etc.

Nov 01, 2010 - Dec 17, 2010
The Arcade Gallery, Columbia College, Chicago, USA
Reception: November 4, 5-7pm with readings by the artists
As we enter an era where humanness is becoming an antiquated consideration, what will humanism be in the future of cybernetics, networked communications, artificial media saturation and synthetic biology? Post-Human//Future Tense explores this concept through the lens of current graduate students, a contingent who has the unique experience of developing their craft alongside the current technological push. Through the exploration of where technological advancements and digital progress will take society, Post-Human//Future Tense awakens a deeper understanding of what it means to be alive today.
Post-Human//Future Tense features multi-disciplinary and new media works created by national and international graduate students. In addition, new works of scholarship by notable academics in the field will be presented at the opening reception.

“Other Voices, Other Bodies” article by Erin Gee
“In this article I describe the traditional audio recording as an agent of disappearance. You press play on a CD player and an opera singer's voice fills your living room - but you do not expect her body to be there. Her body is left to the listener's imagination as an abstraction, whereas in the original opera hall the visual is a key element for providing visual cues about place, space, narrative, and the performer's identity. Using this logic, the audio playback device can be considered a technological stand-in for the original performing body. This situation is made more problematic through recent developments in audio playback technology, which have caused the bodies of the stand-ins to become become smaller, more portable, and folded into other devices such as telephones, cars and DVD players. This double-erasure of the body in audio recording enforces creates a virtual-listening experience that is divorced from the physical environment, where sound is related tangentially only through abstract memory of physical body and performance. My article introduces my practice in visual art and sound as causing dissonance between the body and the voice, recalling the listener's relationship between their body and the body of the sound, and using the visual as a site of resistance against virtual listening.”
The CEC’s online journal of electroacoustics was launched in May 1998 as the successor to the print journal, Contact! (1988–97), and is published four times a year. Each issue focuses on a particular theme or topic, and guest editors have been invited to coordinate one issue per year since eContact! 7.x (2004–05). Articles, reviews, interviews, commentaries and analyses are featured in the journal, often supported by audio and video files. All issues are freely available to the public.

Douglas Morton Re: Surfacing
by MacKenzie Art Gallery Curatorial Intern Erin Gee
May 8th-October 4th 2009 at the MacKenzie Art Gallery, Regina SK
"The work that makes the show is Erin Gee’s “Formants,” which is a table holding two simple, featureless mannequin heads with wigs of longish hair, and brushes that are pretty and girly. The brushes are attached with a chain to the table — perhaps to ensure they won’t be stolen, but also providing an undertone of the macabre. When you brush the hair, the head will sing — a fine operatic aria, loud and clear and eminently more disturbing than any art I have encountered in a gallery space in some time. The “voices” are natural, and dolls and mannequins always strike a nerve with us, as travesties of ourselves — and you can either groom both, allowing them to sing together, or just lavish your attention on one."
