Author: 8057art

8057art is a gateway to experiment with abstraction where everything is a concept of nothing… It is a phenomenon that establishes a link between 2 minds, liberating them to question and challenge what is sometimes consider in reality unacceptable or a mistake… But what is a mistake? Who can ever judge a mistake? It began to come together when Daniel (an artist from São Paulo/BR, masquerading as engineer), happen to meet Friedrich (an artist from Cologne undercover as constructor)…In time their joy for creating music, drawings, photos, movies all began to fall onto a new, common platform of expression which they call 8057art… Usually starting with a few beers from the kiosk, they ascend those four flights of stairs to Daniel's Atelier/Music Studio/Apartment (sometimes Restaurant) and lay a canvas gently on the floor. Slowly the gateway opens up, enlightening the way to a new dimension of colors, shapes, gestures, forms and feelings, allowing them, through a peaceful rhythm, to calm their hearts and free their souls. There is only one rule to be accepted here: Follow your heart!!! “...it’s as though we each have a movie running in our minds, with the same soundtrack, Miles Davis – Bitches Brew… A good single malt helps embody this experimental environment as we continue back and forth showing to each other how our mental movies are developing, using everything around within grabbing distance - acrylic paints, markers, sprays, charcoal, pen and literally anything else.” For the next hours they are 8057art.

finishing last details of our next Event, working a lot on this, but never dropping the joy of express what we feel and how we want to put our emotions out …

bellow you find a brief introduction of our upcoming event;

text_for_ZooBar_because brain has no eys

getting in contact with all this waterfall of new feelings, coming from the well established connection between 2 minds, that manage to transform energy into a physic medium which people could see, touch or hear, essentially feel what is going on with this connection.

We would like to share what happened when one side of this connection got in contact for the very first time with a new way of express emotions… in this case, 8057art as a unit, dipped inside the unlimited universe of sounds, obviously on the way we conceive how it should be… this was a Live experiment done with few instruments and no pre recorded sounds…no mastering, eq’s or whatsoever ..only spending time on machines that helped us dive into this yet unfamiliar world to one side of 8057art’s mind…

feel free to share and download, in case you like it! 😉

Next Event – “…because brain has no eys!”

...because brain has no eys!

“…because brain has no eys!”

8057art is happy to introduce our next Event at Zoo Bar in Köln, Ehrenfeld.

Opening night party on 29th of October – 19:00 😉

There you will be confronted with the way we feel colors, leaving free space to, each singular interpretation, find shapes and forms which suits better each one’s brain             …because brain has no eys, whatever it means, brings you freedom to dive into this colorful universe without limits for our imagination…leaving space to deconstruct conventional forms of structures. Therefore, forget your limits outside and try to enjoy or hate the expressions presented to you…

There isn’t any meaning to look for! Feel this meaning yourself. Find your own meaning, whether positive or negative, however you like, but find yourself this meaning, if necessary…

…because brain has no eys, is a development of our work that helped us explore fields of our imagination located beyond our daily horizon. A place we manage to visit every time we step beyond our common level of consciousness…we can only achieve it, when we understand that there’s no such division between our brain and body. We feel our body as an extension of our brain that receives external inputs to be decoded in feelings. Therefore we are all feelings. Feeling what we want. Whatever we project from our mind out, creating our own reality, where we decide how to live.

With this thought in mind we invite you to think, are you living the reality you would like to live? We discovered ours…this is what we have to do …because brain has no eys!

Step by Step – next event Live at Kommando Luftikus

Step by Step

From one of those common bar chatting with friends, I heard something interesting; A friend told me, „ I’m bored nowadays, because anything new is happening. Nothing really surprises me!”

In a way, I see it with a sad touch because I believe that no one in this life makes thing to surprise people in certain ways… If you are looking for surprises, and have already a pre-established surprise level, I guess, anything will really surprise you… cause you are simply waiting for someone to come with this new thing to surprise you… if you really go deep into this thought, you could even think that you are handing over the responsibility of this “being surprised” feeling to others instead of standing up, moving your lazy ass, going ahead looking for what is new out there…

Back in the 60’s, the Beattles was the biggest band in this world….were they surprising people? Or were they that big because of that huge media behind them? I can’t really say what was it, but to me, Pink Floyd really surprised me… because while some were shouting yeah yeah yeah, others were mixing strange ways of using conventional instruments, experimenting with things around them, helping their conventional status of consciousness being upgraded to another level. Some even put them as Avant-Gardists…

I just want to introduce this simple brief thought, cause I really think we should be opened to everything in order to be surprised….if you think you know everything around already, and you are sitting waiting for the opportunity to be surprised, then likely you’ve had already you last biggest surprise ever in your life…now it’s only time for you to die…you can wait it, or do it right now!

Anyways, I can leave it with you to decide what you wanna do, and how, cause I’m sure you know very well what you want in life and who you are here 😉

 

Besides all this blablabla, there are some great news for us, and everyone who support our work (also for the ones who hates and like to join our event to make their criticism, all are very welcome! 😉 ). 8057art is having another exhibition soon, in Köln Ehrefeld at Zoo Schänke, starting from end of October. We are going to show our latest works with new materials and techniques…stay tuned for more info to come soon.

The great news, this Saturday (21st of September), 8057art is making a Live paint action at Kommando Luftikus party, in Köln, together with great artists and amazing music… pure techno is how we move forward…

And I will be playing a Live set from 02:30 – 03:30, with loads of nonsense noises topped with some soulful groove …

If you are open for surprises and new experiments, feel free to join us there to share this wonderful atmosphere that we hope to build together with all of you.

please make sure to follow our steps to get to the party at: https://www.facebook.com/kommanda.luftikus

See you there!

8057art – presents 22 pictures

tausend_L_cio_flyer_1

We very happy to announce that on 17th of May, our friends at #Tausendbar, Köln, are opening their doors one more time to host another Event presented by our creative hub, frei|raum.

This Event is a celebration of SONOPTIX’s Perpetuum EP Release, produced by L_cio, with remixes by Clemens Ruh, Daniel V, Jack Dean and Radical Ambience.

L_cio is a friend located in a warm part of this world who is inspired by his surroundings, highly recognizable once you hear the calm sound of his flute. In this Summer, L_cio is coming back to Germany, now on “The Lifesaver” tour with Portable performing Live sets in Frankfurt, Munich, Leipzig, Berlin and Cologne.

8057art is as well opening their second exhibition, “presents 22 picture”, bringing you a new concept of interaction between Painting and Video projections supported by SONOPTIX.

Do you question things around you? Do you believe that everything people once told you might not be “The Truth”? Are you open for new experiences? If yes, I highly recommend attending this Event, being part of this with us exchanging knowledge and experiences upgrading it to an interconnection mind trip.

Just come by on 17th of May, at #Tausendbar, to have a drink with, listen some cool music and appreciate this new concept of Art interaction.

Hope to meet you all there…feel free to share it with whomever you think would might be interested 😉

Love

6:50 am, the alarm clock rings again…after the usual forth snooze, it’s time to get up…but till when? Till when are we going to follow this routine that life demands to all of us…A routine which is there, not naturally born, but there to make you fit to all parameters necessary to keep the ball rolling of this unnatural and sick society…

Can the human being be just a human being or every human being must also be a citizen? We all once were told we should be good citizens, however nobody has ever asked me if I would like to be a citizen instead of simply be a human being, or myself… has anybody asked you?

Trying to slide off this sick way of life, exploring new levels of consciousness, one can easily feel that the only and most important thing to do while you are still alive, is to do whatever you decide it’s important for you (I said YOU!) and only you know what it is…

Straight ahead, get up, understand who you are and what you want…having this clear inside you, is the key to kick far away this bloody alarm clock that rings every morning, forcing you to believe that you are here just to be a citizen not a natural human being as you are, free to decide what is best for your life! (and when to get up) 😉

 

We, 8057art, decided what is really important, and with that clear in mind we produce every day more and more. Soon you will be able to experience a little bit of our new phase, at our next upcoming event to be confirmed soon…therefore if you like and support our lifestyle, stay tuned for more details…

the importance of a quick break, sometimes defines next steps on our creative development path, pushing our limits even beyond where they use to be…looking back at our past expressions, one can get a clear view of how we deconstruct shapes and forms, breaking it down to a fun game of matching color and emphasizing contrasts driven by our unquiet mind …

That is what this break brought to us till now, and from this point on we proceed… let’s see what comes next…

you can find more at 8057art 😉 if you like, just follow us…

Moving on experimenting new fields, discovering new techniques, materials and most important, new people…Discovering how important is to share things with completely different people…without knowing, they update your mind (and hopefully you their’s)  for free and introduce some new unexplored dimensions to play with in, that sometimes, can give you back very interesting things …

This is it! After 8 weeks of joy and fun, we achieved what we were looking for…we managed to bring together people with different opinions, taste, style, aim in life, under the same roof to talk about what is our understanding of art.

To learn the Understanding of Art from each different person, taking in consideration these differences, their culture, who intimately they are, was such a valuable constructive feeling after all, that surely will sum up more knowledge propelling us beyond our current mental boundaries.

…wir sind Spinner! Was our first step of others to come, and we Thank You for being part of this, helping us creating such friendly vibe between all who have participated and joined #TausendBar within this past 8 weeks.

Really Thank You for your support allowing us to make what we believe become true…this will trigger more new unexplored ways which we are looking forward to experiment.

SONOPTIX and 8057art side by side bringing you our Next Event that is already being shaped and soon we will share with you…therefore, stay tuned for further info!

Love
