Those of you who have been following this blog will certainly remember the two articles which have been posted <a href="http://akahele.org/2009/03/in-the-eye-of-the-beholder/">here</a> and <a href="http://akahele.org/2009/04/the-trade-of-free-culture/">here</a> about Scott Kildall and Nathaniel Stern's <a href="http://www.wikipediaart.org ">Wikipedia Art project</a>. Kildall and Stern have opened up their project to all artists in a series of <a href="http://wikipediaart.org/remixes/">Wikipedia Art Remixes</a>, which will be presented as part of <a href="http://padiglioneinternet.com/">Padiglione Internet</a> (the Internet Pavilion) for the Venice Biennale as the <em>Wikipedia Art Embassy</em>.

<em>Akahele</em> is proud to be part of this exciting initiative with two works inspired by the Wikipedia Art project.

Paul Wehage's <em>Cypher Variations : Wikipedia Art Remixed</em> for chamber orchestra is a short two-minute conceptional work. The piece is based around two cells, one of which spells "Wikipedia", presented in the winds/brass/harp/celesta/percussion which has a block-like, rather mandarin quality. The other cell spells out "Art" in the strings, and has a more active character. The two motives almost fit together, but the juxtaposition of B natural/B flat creates an inherent tension which causes them to repel, in the same way that Wikipedia Art was repelled from Wikipedia. The tympani part beginning around 1:00 is the musical illustration of a prominent Wikipedia editor who stated that <a href="http://davidgerard.co.uk/notes/2008/12/10/what-a-pip/">he danced on the skulls of his opponents</a>.

The work may be heard <a href="http://independentartistscompany.com/songs.aspx?SongID=74586&ArtistID=12612">here</a>.

Wehage's orchestral prelude was then used by Gregory Kohs as the basis of his "Wikipedia Art : a Musical Manifesto".
