The 24 Hour Count is a multi-media blog band made up of Colorado artists Mark Amerika, Rick Silva, and Nathaniel Wojtalik. For this 24 hour online blog performance, the artists will use a variety of media including the Internet, mobile phones, digital video and photo cameras, mini-disk recorders, musical instruments, and many computer software programs to improvisationally remix, interpret, and respond to current events while filtering their “digital readings” through the prism of Count Lautréamont’s “Songs of Maldoror,” a classic French text written in the 19th century and whom the Surrealists adopted as the progenitor of their significant 20th century movement.
