Photo: Anatoly Filatov Release of the new album Mummy Troll closer. August 252013 the whole world will know about what kind of music it is written, and what will be on the album cover. And while the musicians in the studio perfecting the material, everyone can have a hand to the design of the new drive Mummy Troll and reserve a place in the gallery of modern art through collaboration Mummy Troll and Belgian artists Leroy Brothers.
The modern view of the world has long been recognized not only by the many paintings in various art galleries, as in the links and messages to Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook. It is these media technologies have not only become the modern way of conveying information, but also an instrument for the emergence of new forms of creativity.
The Belgian company Leroy Brothers was founded by three brothers - Nicholas, Gilles and Gregory in 1997. The brothers were engaged in a variety of art projects related to media technologies and the Internet, and in 2007 launched its own Internet art project «Witness Your World». Interactive Service «Witness Your World» gives any user almost unlimited possibilities for creativity. Mummy Troll and Leroy Brothers have agreed on a joint project that will bring together contemporary visual art and music to create a new disk group covers Mummy Troll.
How does it work? In order to take part in the creation of the cover, you need to register at WitnessYourWorld.org or login using your account with Facebook, Twitter or Flickr. So you get the ability to upload to the site illustrations (photos, pictures), and short text messages. Messages must be tagged # mumiytroll. Once every 100 hours of the best in the voting objects (pictures and messages), on the site are mixed by a specially developed partners (Mummy Troll and Leroy Brothers) algorithm.
As a result of this "tempting cocktail", "self-replicate" the most real art objects. Photo from the London nightclub can be combined with a street fight from Shanghai, avatar resident of Krakow - a shocking photo model on the catwalk in Milan or notorious ubiquitous cats. Anything that gets in «Witness Your World», finds eternal life and becomes a "window" through which future generations will be able to see our world. It reminds both personal and collective Warhol "15 minutes of fame." But Mummy Troll and Leroy Brothers derive concept to the next level! Virtual becomes real artist!
Top 10 art objects selected Mummy Troll and Leroy Brothers, will be presented in special exhibitions in Vladivostok, Moscow (Russia), Ghent (Belgium) and Monte Carlo (Monaco), and enter the registration of a new disk group Mumiy Troll. And the one whose work is, in the opinion of musicians, will be the best, will be appointed chief artist and invited to the presentation of the exhibition.
What else needs to be remembered? Because Mummy Troll - rock band, and, moreover, the sea, the subject of pictures and messages should be appropriate: all that is connected with the sea, music, around the world traveling, and also - tigers, sharks, guitars - in short, everything that you associate group.
Be clear evidence of its existence for centuries in the company of Leroy Brothers and Mummy Troll! Duration of the project - from May 1 to July 12013. All the details can be found on Ikra.tv
