  • Terre Thaemlitz, AKA DJ Sprinkles, will be the first contributor to the Vapore series, a three-part installation running from September through December in Milan. The inaugural edition will take place from September 15th through 20th at multi-purpose space O'. For the project, Thaemlitz was asked to compose "an original sound-piece, approximately the length of both sides of a 7-inch record played at 45 RPM." The result, an electroacoustic work entitled "Terre Thaemlitz kindly asks you not to upload her releases," will be played to only one person at a time, with 25 private sessions running across each of the six days. Once the 150th person has finished listening, the music will be destroyed and will not be available in either hard copy or digital formats. Thaemlitz is one of three Western, Japan-based artists asked to participate in the project, though the identity of the other two is yet to be revealed. The remaining two editions will be held at O' in October and December. Exact dates are still TBA. Vapore is curated by Francesco Tenaglia. For more about the project, including how to reserve one of the 150 slots, head over to the official O' website.
