[spectre] Texts on software/surveillance and audiovisual performance... and exhibition FYI's

[Amy Alexander]

Greetings and Howdy!

A paper I've written called "About Sven... and about Software, 
Surveillance, Scariness and Subjectivity" is now available online at:
http://deprogramming.us/sven/aboutsven.html
The paper will appear in the forthcoming volume, "Transdisciplinary 
Digital Art: Sound, Vision and the New Screen," edited by Randy Adams, 
Steve Gibson and Stefan Muller Arisona, to be published by Springer this 
year.

A chapter on "Live Audiovisuals" written by Nick Collins and me appears in 
the recently released book, "The Cambridge Companion to Electronic Music," 
edited by Nick Collins and Julio d'Escrivan.
http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521688659
The chapter discusses histories of audiovisual performance, including its 
ancestry in color organs, visual music filmmaking, light shows, cognitive 
science, and more - as well as various approaches to current practice 
including VJ'ing, live cinema, and digital media art performance. This one 
is not available online, but the book is available from the usual sources.

And FYI:... if  you happen to be in Portland, Oregon, USA, or Taichung, 
Taiwan:
Through April 27 - Videos from SVEN (Surveillance Video Entertainment 
Network) are on exhibit in the BYOTV exhibition at the New American Art 
Union, Portland, Oregon.
Through May 18: My 1996 abstract animated film "unbroken pieces" is 
screening in "The Dissection of City" international animation exhibition 
at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts.

Happy Spring,
-Amy
