Nik Nowak   Panzer Sound Tank | 4,000 Watts Of Pure Hi Fi Assault


It was his dabble with electronic music which led Nik Nowak to his very first auditory installation. More recently, the Berlin-base artist embarked on something even more ambitious than just the usual gallery pieces. A mobile audio platform that he appropriately dubbed “Panzer” or “Tank”. It stated first from Internet bidding of an used Japanese miniature tracked dumper, then led to the installment of all the necessary audio contraptions, Nik Nowak’s sound tank housed a total of four tweeters, six 12-inch drivers, and three 18-inch subwoofers, with the ability to pump out 4,000 watts of pure sound. Faceted and angled for an even coverage, the custom speaker compartment can be raise hydraulically with a flick of the switch. The tank also offers power outlets as well as stations for drum machine, mixer, and synthesizer. Not only is it a show stopper, Nik Nowak’s sound tank will definitely have folks thinking twice when they want you to turn the volume down next time. via: DesignSpotter

In All Our Decadence People Die: An NYC exhibit displays 3,000 works from English punk band Crass' seven-year reign

Though London's famed punk venue The Roxy is now a decidedly sober Speedo Swimwear outlet, in the late '70s and early '80s, the U.K. was in the midst of a royal cultural battle between the Thatcherite establishment and a new breed of shock-and-awe artists and musicians. At the forefront of the movement, the English band Crass' two-chord rant Banned from The Roxy was somewhat of an anthem for the times.

Preserved for posterity are 3,000 fanzines, flyers, posters, manuscripts and original works of art sent to the band between 1977 and 1984. These punk artifacts have been collected and cataloged by visual artist Gee Vaucher, who collaborated with the band and still resides at Dial House, a collective in the Essex countryside.

These works have crossed the Atlantic for a special viewing from 30 September-20 October 2011 at Boo-Hooray in NYC. The gallery has also published a limited edition (250 copies) catalog along with 500 pressings of a 7-inch vinyl recording featuring Crass' Penny Rimbaud, with cover art by Vaucher.
