Nat Hawks & Carl Diehl

 

Carl Diehl and Nat Hawks have collaborated audio-visually since 1999, beginning with the "Concerto for the 8-Bit Era," an elaborate performance comprised of obsolete video game consoles, audience participation, and a live remix using cassette loops, delay pedals and casio sampling keyboards. They have continued to work together via snail mail, in live performances across the United States, and in residency at the Experimental Television Center.   Independently, Carl has focused on the history and social practice of technology, cross-wiring rhetorical devices in an audio-visual context to reveal the persuasive gestures of recombinant editing, glitch studies and transmedia formations.  He has presented his videos and performances at Transmediale, &Now, Artists’ Television Access and the International Symposium of Electronic Art.  Under the moniker Padna, Nat records music at home in his spare time, and has been putting out sounds since 2001. Padna is honored to have released material on Preservation, Stunned, Peasant Magik, Tape Drift, Abandoned Ship, Aagoo/Rev, Orange Milk and Big Ear.

 

During their residency at Signal Culture, Carl and Nat will audio-visually venture into the “Atempastoral.”  Within this framework, they respond to increasingly non-linear and pervasively mediated experiences of contemporary network culture with aesthetic concerns of the pastoral and sublime in art and literature.
