I was appointed for the second time as the Editor-in-Chief of PQ MAG, an official publication of the Prague Quadrennial 2011. The appointment was made by the Arts-Theatre Institute and Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic. This broadsheet-style newspaper takes a lively, engaging, pop-culture approach to covering design, performance design, architecture and space. It presents interviews with artists, program tips, photo report and much more. I produced, edited and directed the content and planning of this daily newspaper. Its circulation reached 50,000 visitors in Prague’s city center. It was distributed at Veletržní Palace (National Gallery), Prague Crossroads (St. Anne’s Church), Piazzeta of the National Theatre, New Stage of the National Theatre and DAMU (The Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts Prague).

12TH INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVE EXHIBITION OF PERFORMANCE DESIGN AND SPACE FOR /////////////////////////////////////// JUNE 24TH —––––— JUNE 26TH 2011
I “Scan” a Place,
a Situation... I Interpret
and Respond
Standing solo on the New Stage of the National Theatre, Scanner greatly impressed
Prague Quadrennial audiences with his multimedia presentation. Afterward Scanner
talks to Randy Gener on the role technology plays when this British sound artist
creates multi-layered pieces that traverse space, image and form.
//// Scanner’s real name is Robin Rimbaud. Intensely active in sound
art since 1991, Scanner has produced concerts, compositions, instal-
lations and recordings. He has collaborated with artists from every
imaginable genre. Recently, for example, Scanner rescored the classic
black & white movie Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde for a premiere at the Ether
Festival London in 2010. His film collaboration Sakoko with fashion
designer Hussein Chalayan premiered at Paris Fashion week for Vogue
Magazine. In 2011 he became sound designer for celebrated iPad pub-
lication Post, created the sound for the Rugby World Cup Promotion,
inaugurated new Paris digital theatre Gaîté Lyrique in collaboration
with United Visual Artists, and presented Blink an ambitious outdoor
performance with Wayne McGregor and Pan-Optikum in Margate UK.
//// Where did you get the name Scanner? Why do you feel that the
word “scanner” accurately reflects your work? — In the late 1980s by
chance I discovered this modest handheld radio device that allowed
one to literally scan through the cellular airwaves in real time and pick
up private conversations and exchanges between people. As
a teenager I’d recorded crossed lines on our ancient analogue home
phone, so this felt like the next step. Incorporating them into these
cinematic dark landscapes of sound seemed to just make perfect
sense. Also, at this time the Chill Out rooms in clubs were growing in
capacity, and my work was being played out there as well as offering
a very human aspect to digital techno-music by incor-porating the
voice into the electronic atmosphere. So I took on the name of the de-
vice I was using to pick up these found voices. In many ways it reflects
the way that one scans an environment through hearing, sight, smell,
touch—using all the senses. I literally “scan” a place, a situation, and,
using a combination of intuition and some skill, I am able to interpret
and respond.
//// Is the sound designer more important than in films, concerts
and other media disciplines? — You can see how much our visual cul-
ture has expanded into a 3-D cinematic experience—a surround sound,
high fidelity–style world. It’s essential that sound maintains a similar
level of deve-lopment and flow with the images, be it on stage or in
the cinema. The role of a sound designer has always been important
as far back as Shakespearean times when people out of view would
create the sound of a thunderstorm off stage. But I think that today
a development in the possibilities of using speakers and amplification
has meant a greater need and emphasis for more detail, more focus on
the sound.

sound became a deeply important part of your life? — When I was 11

Performance Space at Prague’s Literal and Metaphorical Crossroads. // The Architecture Section, held in the wonderful
site of St Anne’s at the Prague Crossroads, is conceived as a place for debate and discussion over the current state of
performance space and its future potential. If you are able find this beautifully renovated deconsecrated church within the
labyrinth of old Prague you will discover a space alive with dynamic exhibits set into timber tables, videos showing projects
that explore sceno-architectures and a space upstairs where 20 performance architects, scholars, designers and makers are
working together to create proposals for new spaces. // Each of the 32 nations participating in the exhibitions were given
a timber table by PQ as a spatial element for them to inhabit with projects representing their current state of theatre. The range
of responses has been marvellous and often provocative: Lebanon created a prayer rug of the Mediterranean where their
Moschea del Mondo (Aldo Rossi’s floating Teatro del Mondo renovated with minarets) will voyage between East and West;
France presents an exquisitely crafted steel table that reveals interesting projects to those who are willing to discover its
contents; Italy’s table shudders and gasps, expressing the frustrations at a lack of political imagination and funding; and
Nigeria lays out a simple yet effective diagram of village performance space for their “folkist” theatre tradition. // The jury
decided to award two gold awards in the architecture section to projects that show the range of possibilities for spatial
performance: Greece’s small and flexible studio machine for their national theatre, capable of transforming through shifting
elements of walls, floor, ceiling and seating; and Mexico’s assemblage of socially inflected events staged in found spaces,
which is presided over by a live axolotl. // The Architecture section offers, in my opinion, the best coffee in Prague from an
espresso bar sited next to a table laden with architecture books where people can meet and enjoy the videos housed in
a 10-meter high tower. These moving images show projects such as Willi Dorner’s Bodies in Urban Spaces where dancers
run through the city and embed themselves in the cracks and folds of the architecture; Sasha Waltz’s choreographic Dialogues
with Architecture; the responsive structures of Omar Khan, Mette Ramsgard-Thomsen and Rodrigo Tisi; and a wonderful
event where the West Bank Wall is momentarily rendered transparent by the Palestinian and Israeli Artists Without Borders.
While impressive new auditoria by ‘starchitects’ such as Zaha Hadid and Jean Nouvel are included, the projected projects
aim to show how fleeting events can transform any space into a performance space. // And upstairs we are continuing to ask
simple but important questions about theatre as both built form and art form. The makeshift auditorium under St Anne’s
spectacularly restored roof is made up of a long table and a landscape of wooden platforms gathering colleagues and visitors
interested in those guests who address what, when, why, where and how a theatre is and could be. Architect Charles Renfro
has shown when theatre appears in the city through architectural events; sociologist Richard Sennett has displayed that
theatre is located in the simple gesture of touch and being in-touch; and Marvin Carlson has discussed theatre as a place that
is simply named such, often far away from the auditoria that many artists and audiences are challenging and rejecting. //
Please join us for ongoing presentations in the Architecture Section as an Open Spatial Laboratory for continuing animated
discussions over what a theatre is now and what it is still capable of being.
