19/2 kl17: zach layton (US): the post-tropical
opening: friday 19/2 17 - 21
open: 19/2 - 28/2 weekends: 13 - 18 thursday + friday: 17-21 monday - wednesday closed
note: this exhibition is also viewable from the street, outside opening hours.
“the post-tropical” is a sound and video installation inspired by a recent series of field recordings made on the large island of hawaii. while making these recordings i was struck by the beauty of the flickering night sounds, a series of interlocking patterns that is not unlike the sound of synaptic firings i’ve encountered in my previous brainwave generated music. what i thought was a natural beauty, however, was in fact a hybridization of species that were indigenous and foreign to the ecosystem. some 10 years earlier, the multinational corporation wal-mart accidentally introduced frogs that are indigenous to the dominican republic / puerto rico within a shipment of packaged plants and soil. ultimately these frogs multiplied exponentially in hawaii in an environment without any natural predators. this installation is a meditation upon received notions of “nature” within a post-industrial and globalized world.

talkaoke is back for COP15
this week mikrogallery is hosting london art collective the people speak, who will be running the planet’s first diy democratic decision-making climate summit this friday the 18th december, 7pm during the grand finale of klimaforum09 at dgi-byen.
expect an evening of inspired ideas, dynamic discussion and decision-making live in copenhagen, and world-wide via the web stream.
people from all over the world have sent in some genius ideas, from olivia the climate scientist’s achievable and proven plan for an inner-city composting education scheme, to 6 year-old ashton’s scheme for a 300 mile-long sanctuary for 12000 cobras! this friday, it will be up to each of you to discuss the ideas and then decide where your money goes.
6/9′09: talkaoke time!
saul albert of theps is back in nørrebro. and this time he brought his talkaoke table with him. come past nørrebroparken today to join the fun. starting now, and going until 4pm.
what is talkaoke then? well, it’s the ufo of chat
talkaoke is a live, television-style talk show, where people can grab the microphone and air their views around the table of chat. the format is simple but powerful: the host sits in the middle, and everyone else sits around the outside and talks about whatever they want to talk about.

mikro residency: saul albert
all through june and some of july, we have the pleasure of having saul albert working in mikrogalleriet. saul albert is a former dorkbot organizer of dorkbot london, and a we’re thrilled to have him around. his current work is fun and eco-friendly too. check out his elevator pitch:
“i am recruiting you to join a world-wide people’s pyramid scheme to save the planet from environmental catastrophe, and have fun doing it.
if you recruit 5 people this week, and they recruit 5 next week, by december the entire population of the world will be on board. and if everyone who can afford to pledges 5 euros each, and commits to a shared goal, the pyramid scheme will have the ability to change anything.
and what happens to all the money and power?
that is up to the pyramid. along with your pledge, the pyramid invites your ideas, suggestions, hopes, and inspiration. if you could ask *everyone* to do something to save the planet, what would it be?
at the cop15 climate summit in copenhagen in december 2009, all the ideas will be discussed by the public around the talkaoke table on street corners, in shopping centres, parks, and schools, and spread around the world via social networking sites and news media.
finally, people will gather in a copenhagen theatre for a dramatic, democratic, decision-making game-show where they will be able to share ideas, consult internet participants, and vote on the collective action.”
