Andrea's talk at Lighthouse will focus on her recent work with global weather systems. I hope to see you this Thursday. best wishes, Honor Harger ________________________________________________________________ Andrea Polli - Lighthouse Monthly Talk - August Thursday 5 August 6.30pm: Doors & Bar 7.00pm: Event start At: Lighthouse, 28 Kensington St, Brighton BN1 4AJ Entry: ?3 Spaces are limited. To book please go to: https://express.iristickets.co.uk:443/k?lighthouse Lighthouse's Monthly Talks happen on the first Thursday of each month, and feature some of the most exciting and influential names in digital art and moving image. Following the inaugural Monthly Talk by Semiconductor in July, we will be welcoming American artist Andrea Polli to Lighthouse in August. She will present her inspirational meteorological artwork. Andrea Polli is a digital media artist living in New Mexico. In her work, global weather and air pollution data are transformed into mesmerising video and sound installations. Many of Polli's works rely on a process called "sonification", which translates data into sound. Her work has been exhibited extensively around the world, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Art Center Nabi in Korea, Centre pour l'image Contemporaine in Geneva, Site Gallery in Sheffield, the Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Fe, Eyebeam in New York NY, and the ICA in London, as well as at festivals such as transmediale and SIGGRAPH. In August 2010, Polli and her partner Chuck Varga, founding member of the shock-rock group, GWAR, are artists-in-residence at Blast Theory's studios in Portslade. This talk will welcome them both to Brighton, and give audiences an opportunity to engage with their unique practice. Following the talk, Polli will be giving a demonstration of some of the technology she works with members of the BuildBrighton group. As well as being a practising artist, Polli is currently an Associate Professor in Fine Arts and Engineering at The University of New Mexico and Mesa Del Sol Endowed Chair of Digital Media at the University. She served as the founding Director of the Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media Program and as Director of ARTS Lab at the University from 2009-2010. From 2005-2008 she served as the Director of the Integrated Media Arts Masters of Fine Arts Program at Hunter College/CUNY. http://www.lighthouse.org.uk/whatson/andreapolli.htm -- Honor Harger Director Lighthouse http://www.lighthouse.org.uk Address: 28 Kensington Street, Brighton, BN1 4AJ, UK Tel: +44 1273 647197 email: honor@lighthouse.org.uk Find us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/LighthouseArts Join our mailing list: http://www.lighthouse.org.uk/about/signup.html From nc-agricowi at netcologne.de Mon Aug 2 11:33:15 2010 From: nc-agricowi at netcologne.de (nmf2010) Date: Mon Aug 2 11:33:50 2010 Subject: [spectre] Program - Week 32 - NewMediaFest'2010 Message-ID: <20100802113316.53EFDE24.6B626AB9@192.168.0.3> NewMediaFest'2010 _______________________ program- week 32 --> 02 - 8 August 2010 http://2010.newmediafest.org/?p=971 _______________________ 1. _______________________ Feature of The Month August 2010 http://2010.newmediafest.org/?p=967 VideoChannel Cologne proudly launches on 2 August 2010 [self] ~imaging v.4.0 artists portraying themselves in film & video presenting the last 25 videos of the 4 part feature.

(CONSERVING, DOCUMENTING, ARCHIVING meetings of electronic & digital art conservation) which will jointly take place in the Cultural Centre of Spain at Buenos Aires (CCEBA), in the Space of Telef?nica Foundation and in the Latin-American art Museum of Buenos Aires (Malba), during the 1, 2, 3 and 6 of September. In this year?s meeting we are proposing topics similar with those covered during the first seminar organized by Taxonomedia (i.e., Conserving electronic art: what to preserve and how to preserve it?). This time, we will revisit those thematic areas that were proved to have major importance in the context of the first event: digitalization, documentation, storage of art-works/art-pieces, and information access. Thus, considering the general question that motivates the work carried out from Taxonomedia ? the meaning and the required strategies of electronic and digital art conservation ?, we have selected to allocate more space to those processes related to forming and maintaining files and media-libraries. This meeting will bring together renowned national or international experts, including among others Timothy Murray (Rose Goldsen Archive, Cornell University, NY), Gabriela Previdello (Archive FILE- electronic language internacional festival, San Pablo), Lluis Roque (Museo de Arte Contempor?neo de Barcelona), Ricardo Dal Farra ( CeiArte, Untref Buenos Aires ? Concordia Univerisity, Montreal), Gl?ria Munilla (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya),Ver?nica Vitullo (Mediateca FADU, UBA), Proyecto Ludi?n y Diego Alberti. The scope of the meeting?s activities is to share experiences and doubts, stimulate the dialogue between the speakers and the audience, assess the study of our conservation heritage through participation, interchange and/or create networks. We would like to invite you to check the full program of the meeting in http://taxonomedia.net/encuentro2010/ . Please do not hesitate to contact us for any query or suggestion regarding the event or the program. We are looking forward to seeing you.

En esta nueva edici?n nos proponemos continuar la l?nea del primer seminario organizado por Taxonomedia: Conservaci?n del arte electr?nico: ?qu? preservar y c?mo preservarlo? En esta ocasi?n retomaremos aquellos temas que se evidenciaron con mayor importancia en el contexto del primer evento: la digitalizaci?n, la documentaci?n, el almacenamiento de obras, y el acceso a la informaci?n. De esta manera, dentro de la pregunta general que gu?a el trabajo de Taxonomedia - las estrategias y el sentido de la conservaci?n del arte electr?nico y digital - hemos apostado pwor dar una mayor cabida a los procesos para la conformaci?n y mantenimiento de archivos y mediatecas. Este encuentro reunir? profesionales nacionales e internacionales entre los que se encuentran Timothy Murray (Rose Goldsen Archive, Cornell University, NY), Gabriela Previdello (Archive FILE- electronic language internacional festival, San Pablo), Lluis Roque (Museo de Arte Contempor?neo de Barcelona), Ricardo Dal Farra ( CeiArte, Untref Buenos Aires ?

WHAT The emergence of ?destination cinema? and the proliferation of large-format screens in public spaces present a challenge - and opportunity - to filmmakers and artists working in more traditional screen formats. At the very least a new cinematic language is required, one taking account of the audience?s very different experience of stories presented on ?frameless? screens. Fulldome, with its hemispherical screens and surround-sound, is an accessible and powerful test-bed enabling filmmakers and artists to experiment with and develop this new language. WHY Reflecting its provenance, most fulldome content to date has been educational and comprised of computer-generated animation, data visualistion, or a combination of both. Now, however, there is a shifting focus, with producers turning their sights to the entertainment potential of live-action story-telling for large-formats such as fulldome. Dome Lab is a world-leading intensive workshop investigating this potential and the specific challenges involved in creating compelling live-action narrative content for large format and frameless screens. WHO Filmmakers and artists excited by the chance to leap beyond the frame and into the expansive creative potential of large-format, immersive screen experiences are invited to apply. Participants will work alongside a team of creative and technical luminaries including Academy-Award winner, Ben Shedd, 2010 Peter Rasmussen award-winner, Peter Morse and international fulldome pioneer, Hue Walker Bumgarner-Kirby. Applicants must have a minimum of three years professional experience in their field (except for SDA Subsidy applicants - see guidelines). Selection will be based on skill-set, with a view to putting together four to five small production teams. Accordingly, applicants from the full production chain, including writers, directors, camera and audio operators, editors, and designers are encouraged to apply. HOW Deadline for applications is 5pm CST, Friday 3 September 2010.

From now until November we collect about 30 contributions to be presented on the opening page of the Kunstfilmtag website from mid-August. This project seeks to encourage a communication about the subject of the documentary during the time period before the Kunstfilmtag itself. The Kunstfilmtag 2010 "UN..SHARPNESS OF THE DOCUMENTARY" is still --- OPEN FOR ENTRIES --- (Deadline September, 3th, 2010) http://xlurl.de/mUquGj ======================================================================================================== This web project approaches the area of the documentary exploring forms and methods of representation. We like to focus elements of the subjective measuring field of reality and take a glimpse at the complex field of historical / contemporary narratives. This shortened form of a web-based collection of artificial / theoretical comments allows just fragmentary thoughts, it merely attempts an approach - to the image as a view on reality, as the constituent part of media intervention. We welcome pieces with text, (+) single image, image sequences, (+) scripts covering sound and poetry, analyses, artificial or theoretical contributions as well as commented links to existing projects, videos, audios or articles. The links to the contributions will be headlined with "TITLE, name of the author" and will circulate in form of a vertical line. The project is located at the entry-site of the Kunstfilmtag-website (which is actually filled with film-event-announcements). If you like to participate please send your proposal to contact@kunstfilmtag.de We are looking forward to your interest and will answer at short notice. Best Susanne Fasbender Kunstfilmtag 2010 I 6.

Camping? Die sozialistische Insel ist das Thema, den Film und die Geschichte drehen ist die Technik Zum Film _Maggots and Men_ 2. Uwu Zeela (R) 17 KB, ca. 6 DIN A4-Seiten ACHTUNG! Umlaute ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Camping? Die sozialistische Insel ist das Thema, den Film und die Geschichte drehen ist die Technik Kronstadt 1921 gilt als Markierung f?r den Scheideweg der russischen Revolution und als Wendepunkt f?r den proletarischen Internationalismus. Einerseits steht mit diesem Datum der Verrat an den Idealen der Oktoberrevolution durch die Bolschewiki zur Debatte, andererseits die illusion?ren Vorstellungen von Anarchisten, gepr?gt von b?uerlichem Status und Habitus in der Gesellschaft einer Proto-Sowjetunion. Der Horizont dieses Fanals bildet in dem Film _Maggots and Men_ die Projektionsplattform f?r eine Erinnerungsarbeit an der Entwicklung, die zu eben jener milit?rischen und sozialen Rebellion der soldatischen Matrosen in Kronstadt f?hrte, die manche als 3. Revolution ansehen, das hei?t als jene gegen B?rokratie und Einparteiherrschaft. Die man aber auch als Konterrevolution mit dem Ziel eines vermeintlichem R?tedemokratismus bei drohender R?ckkehr kapitalistischer Herrschaft erkennen kann. Eine dritte Deutung sieht hier das Ende der sozialen Revolution des Proletariats weltweit und den unvermeidlichen Beginn einer innw?ndigen, nicht von au?en kommenden Konterrevolution hin zur Diktatur nicht des Proletariats, sondern des Apparats, geschuldet dem fatalen Sozialismus in einem Land. Dieses Doppel aus Erinnerung und Projektion in _Maggots and Men_ erscheint als verk?rzte und als vorausschauende und als camp zugleich. "Camp" ist die teils naive, teils ironische, oberfl?chlich-darstellerische und damit problematische ?bernahme von Lebensstilen, ist also bereits b?rgerliches bzw. bohemianisch-bacchantisches Verfahren und Interpretation. Camp als Praxis manifestiert in seinem Handeln seine praktische Beschr?nktheit, d.h. die Verh?ltnisse nicht umwerfen zu k?nnen, bezeugt aber auch die kollektiv subjektive Sehnsucht danach. Es ist zu unterscheiden von der Simulation, geht also nicht im Austausch oder Ersatz von Wirklichkeit auf. Camp spielt eher mit kritischen Codes und verwendet sie, bewegt sich also auf der Ebene des Symbolischen und leitet davon reale und auf diese Weise zu entdeckende Bedingungen f?r den Alltag ab. Masturbation und Verkleidung, narzisstische Befriedigung und theatralische Transzendierung der Zust?nde sind seine Referenzen. Diese Lifestylestrategie - das ?berkommene nehmen, um den herrschenden Zustand defensiv zu kontrastieren - kann aber auch gelesen werden als n?tiger Regress - das ?berkommene durcharbeiten, um es f?r das Neue abzulegen - f?r die weitere Entwicklung. Das scheint wiederum struktural mit der Situation im Russland der Neuen ?konomischen Politik (NEP) nach dem Kriegskommunismus zu korrelieren . F?r die NEP nahm der 10. Parteitag der KPR (Kommunistische Partei Russlands) die Unruhen insgesamt und nicht allein den Kronst?dter Aufstand im M?rz 1921 zum Anlass f?r ein vor?bergehend marktorientiertes Wirtschaftssystem im vorindustriellen Russland, aber auch f?r die Einschr?nkung jeder Opposition innerhalb der Partei, die faktisch die Staatsmacht des revolution?r isolierten Russland war. Im Medium Film geht es generell nicht um die mimetische Darbietung von Realzust?nden, sondern um ihre Widerspiegelung. Das ist ein ontologisches Problem. Im hier zu besprechenden Spielfilm geschieht das in einer Mischung kritisch-faszinierter Historisierung und De-Historisierung, in Absetzung zur Tradierung alter ?sthetiken und ihren gesellschaftlichen Urspr?ngen. Der Inhalt und das Wie der Darstellung kommen in diesem Film scheinbar zur Deckung, und dieses 'scheinbar' wird genossen. Damit kommt diesem Umstand politische Brisanz zu. Indem der Schmelz von Stummfilm und die Szenenwelt aus schwulem Film u.a. im Anschluss an Sergej Eisenstein oder Rainer Werner Fassbinder adaptiert wird. Und indem innerhalb dieses Sujets das ungebundene aber verantwortungsvolle Leben eines "organisierten Anarchismus" offen romantisch unter der bunten Fahne des Queer gezeigt wird - oder ist die Flagge schwarz? Die Bedeutungsebenen werden aber auch durch das getriggert, was den 'Diskurs' von Bewegtbild ja immer mit ausmacht, n?mlich das was n i c h t gezeigt wird: die Situation zeitlich und r?umlich vor, neben und ausserhalb der utopisch-nostalgischen Transgender-Insel Kronstadt im Finnischen Meerbusen vor Petrograd, wie sie von Cary Cronenwett (Regie) und Ilona Berger (Skript) tendenziell verk?rzend entworfen wurde. Zum Vergleich gelingt es Rosa von Praunheim 1987 mit _Anita - T?nze des Lasters_ eine weitaus, wenn man so sagen kann, dialektischer funktionierende Anti-Persiflage der verlorenen Revolution aus Transgender-Sicht, allerdings im Deutschland jener Epoche, welche die parteiische Konfrontation der Konzepte von Genuss und Kampf aufeinander zu beziehen vermag und nicht einseitig denunziert. Und somit ist ein Programm er?ffnet, das man als "Nicht-Coverversion" bezeichnen k?nnte. Das Cover ist in der Popul?rmusik die Neuinterpretation ganz nah am Original aber mit leichten Verschiebungen und Verst?rkungen im Ausdruck. Das negative Cover macht nun aus, dass es seine Bearbeitungen und Verwendungen inklusive der Verdrehungen als solche vorf?hrt, alle fiktionalen Momente der Handlung auf das geschichtliche Ereignis anlegt aber mediumbedingt den Prozess dieses Vorf?hrens (man sieht im Bild Verweise auf die Produktionsweise des Bildes) nie vollst?ndig vermitteln kann und in die N?he eines regressiven Kitsch ger?t. Ein Medium, und ganz besonders der zeitlineare Film, vermag Debatten, auf die es zugreift, mit sich zu f?hren. Es kann aber nie vollst?ndig Debatten ?ber sich mitteilen (Geschlossenheit des Mediums). Die k?nnen nur in der dialogischen Diskussion 'erscheinen'. Film bildet damit als Cover einen Ansatz, das Genre, also die Auswahl von Thema und Motiven im R?ckgriff auf schon Bekanntes, zu problematisieren. Aber, das damals am weitesten entwickelte und das damals f?hrenden Revolution?ren wichtigste Medium Film (Lenin) pr?sentiert hier seine Grenzen, welche im Konzept des Komplexes aus One-to-many , aus Attraktion, Kontemplation sowie Reflektion liegen. Eine kommunikative Untersuchung, nichts anderes ist Diskussion, muss dieses grunds?tzliche Manko von Film ausgleichen. Die "Durchqueerung des Alltagslebens", die Wiedererschliessung der erotischen und kreativen Potentiale gegen enteignende Normierung, wird in Maggots and Men zwar gespielt (camp), diese ist aber geschichtlich just nicht gleich dem Leben des Alltags der sogenannten postrevolution?ren Phase des ausgehenden B?rgerkriegs in Russland. In diesem Alltag hatte man mit der elementarsten Bed?rfnisbefriedigung nach Auszehrung des 1. Weltkriegs und des Kriegs gegen die Feinde der sozialistischen Revolution, mit einer noch nicht entwickelten industriellen Produktion und einem noch nicht in Bezug zu den Bauen gesetzten Proletariat zu tun. Die Revolution in Deutschland war misslungen, die kommunistischen "M?rzaktionen" in Mitteldeutschland gescheitert. Die Sowjets (R?te) in Russland waren machtlos, die Produktivit?t des Landes lag weit unter dem Niveau von 1913, man war abh?ngig von der Nahrungsmittelherstellung der Bauern. Die Matrosen auf der Insel Kotlin, welche die W?rmer im Fleisch der Oktoberrevolution wie die Matrosen von 1905 im Fleisch des Zarismus anprangern, tanzen im schillernden Modell einer Robinsonade , die man dennoch als vorausschauenden Entwurf der freien Assoziation der Individuen (Marx), der Befreiung ihrer produktiven und libidin?sen Kr?fte interpretieren kann. Das alles auf der Plattform von inszenierten Bildern, bezogen auf jene Zeit - ?brigens inklusive heftiger Diffamierungen (Lenin als neu-bourgeoiser Zuh?lter, Trotzki als Kuchen fressender Telefont?ter). Ob Einfallstor f?r die Wei?en, drohende Konterrevolution oder Realisationsmoment der tats?chlichen Bedingungen 1921, wie Lenin und Victor Serge konstatieren: in dieser Version von Kronstadt werden das Andere und Neue im Aufstand sozusagen nocheinmal nachtr?glich geprobt auf der Basis von Bildern von Bildern. Aber so, als ob die Marinesoldaten nur Camping machen w?rden. Bezogen auf das ?sthetik-kritische Konzept des camp ist "Camping" das analytische Idiom eingebracht von der b?rgerlich-liberalen Schriftstellerin Susan Sontag, womit das blo? touristische Eintauchen in eine kulturell-soziale Szene gemeint ist, das simple optische Kopieren einer Lebensf?hrung, welches jedoch immense politische Zusammenh?nge allusioniert . Cronenwett und Berger nun stellen ihren Entwurf der anarchischen Variante f?r die zu erneuernde Macht der R?te zur Disposition durch Stilnachahmung des Stummfilms und durch Schauspiel als Schauspiel (Laiendarsteller). Gerade weil das bis zur sichtbaren Kopie von Sequenzen beispielsweise aus Eisensteins _Panzerkreuzer Potemkin_ geht, wird der geschichtliche Abstand demonstriert aber auch die geschichtliche N?he gesucht, freilich im immer schon mitgedachten camp als Camping! Sie negieren jedoch die ?berlieferung von der Gefahr der Konterrevolution oder karikieren diese. Vereinfacht ausgedr?ckt unterschlagen die Autoren viel vom historischen, vom nationalen und internationalen Bezugsrahmen (Stichwort Weltrevolution) und begeben sich auf die Seite Desillusionierter (vgl. Emma Goldman, vgl. auch George Orwells _1984_), die allen Verrat und Entt?uschung auf Seiten der Bolschewiki sehen. Der Geschichtsprozess erscheint so mehr oder weniger aus Verschw?rung und Betrug zu bestehen. Das alles l?sst sich vielleicht aufschlie?en und diskutabel machen mit einem drehbaren Kreuz, auf dem sich die in _Maggots an Men_ vorkommenden Bestandteile _Trans, Anarchie, Kronstadt und russische Revolution_ f?r eine weiterf?hrende Diskussion auftragen lassen, auch im Hinblick auf die m?glicherweise entpolitisierte Trans-Szene und Verk?rzungen der Gender Studies. --. \ ) ,' |/ `. ,' '-- `. ,' `.

A single cut crystal decanter bobs and spins in a watery seascape reminiscent of a Romantic painting, while the weather turns overhead. In each animation a line- drawn figure appears inside the bottle, striving in a repetitive action: rowing, diving, stumbling. In Elixir III, a young woman flaps her arms which are tied to paper wings, but never lifts into the air. The artist cites the influence of the paintings of waves and swells by Russian artist Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900) yet the images read contemporaneously, drawn from modern day sources such as media coverage of dramatic weather events or holiday videos uploaded to the web, then rotoscoped by hand, frame by frame. Rain appears to splatter the screen, reminding us that we too are watching through a glassy surface. Zurkow has made work on the theme of flooding and climate change in other forms, for a network of CCTV screens in a convention centre built adjacent to highway overpasses and a river prone to flooding, and for a panoramic site-specific projection on the side of a car parking lot in a US Gulf state. Here her work Elixir III is shown rear- projected, on a loop, in the doorway of a villa on the Croatian island of Korcula facing out to the water, with a haunting soundtrack by Pat Irwin. Churning away, the weather within the bottle (volcanic ash induced red sunsets and wind storms) manifests as a kind of instable magical potion, while the figure?s actions appear to act like a dynamo or combustion agent, although it seems there is nothing they alone can do to release this potion in order to change the state of the seas beyond the beautiful bottle in which they are trapped (it is said that even the ancient Greeks used oil, drop by drop, to calm a stormy sea for safe passage). This apparition of a vial of elixir, for our current environmental troubles, or in response to our subconscious desire for a medicine to induce forgetting, is all the more tantalizing at a time when we are inescapably conscious of what our effect our actions have on the waters that surround us.

Novel incentives, emerging trends & hybrid practice. Introduction by Roy Ascott (uk) Coordinated by Nina Czegledy (ca/hu) In the ISEA2010 Education Workshop the identification and discussion of specific key educational issues initiates the open exchange between educational experts and workshop participants. Roy Ascott's introduction on pioneering platforms for PhD studies forms the base for the exchange. The contribution by educational experts is focused on learning methods and accreditation, including PhD studies and novel incentives leading to hybrid learning and interdisciplinary practice. In recent years more and more academic institutions require lecturers with advanced degrees; yet obtaining these qualifications remains a problem in several countries of continental Europe - leading to fierce debates on educational circumstances. What is our role in this environment and how do we proceed? Roy Ascott's Planetary Collegium initiative is a remarkable example of a pioneering international platform for PhD studies. His introduction to the ISEA2010 Education Workshop forms the base of the discussion on the complexity of these issues. These complexities include numerous significant items including packaged e-learning, various business models and social technologies for higher education etc., Within the scope of this workshop however the discussion is focused predominantly on various aspects of PhD studies and hybrid learning. To unpack the monopoly of higher educational methods by academia, hybrid learning is also investigated in the ISEA2010 Education Workshop. A palpable tension exists between academic and hands-on education, yet from Bogot? to Budapest an increasing number of professionals are deeply involved in the convergence of networked communication, arts& science & technology projects, environmental issues and urban space. The explosion of this new ecology has not been pre-planned; it is mainly due to a tremendous interest by the emerging generation, whose daily reality has profoundly changed and is often in conflict with certain rigid educational concepts.

Sensors, actuators, implants, wearable computers, and neural interfaces can do more than simply observe our bodies: these devices can also alter and manipulate our perceptions. This workshop will promote the design and critique of systems whose explicit purpose is to alter human percepts. Participants will be asked to present abstracts, images, videos and demonstrations that focus on devices that shape perceptual phenomena. The goals of the workshop are to: (1) document an emerging field of device design; (2) facilitate the development of these devices by sharing designs; (3) better understand the process of perception and how it informs the design of devices; and (4) debate the aesthetics, perceptual change, social and ethical issues as well as functional transformation the presented works envision for the future.

Local art practitioners, digital inclusion researchers, public sector professionals and community development workers are invited to join us for an active investigation into how socially engaged arts practice promotes, enriches and challenges notions of digital inclusion. We increasingly use digital tools for everything: to find jobs, to socialise, to shop, even to define who we are. Thus it is urgent to ensure that everyone is able to make an informed choice about using the Internet and related technologies. Of the 17 million people in the UK who currently don?t use the Internet it is believed that 6 million of these are both socially and digitally excluded. We celebrate the arrival of the Digital Region in South Yorkshire by asking: beyond access what is necessary to support people in exploring their potential? Socially engaged art projects are the unsung success stories of digital engagement. They may be small in scope and intensive in execution, but they point the way to new processes and methods of interest in enfranchising the communities overlooked by more broadbrushed or centralised approaches. Through panel discussions, talks, demonstrations and participatory activities the Inspiring Digital Engagement Festival will focus on the following questions: - What does art bring that policy doesn?t? - How far can digital inclusion be facilitated without personal mediation and stewardship? - Is it appropriate to expect artistic practice to conform to public sector metrics? Take away: - Inspiration for digital inclusion strategies - New networks of practitioners facing the same challenges as you - A more rounded sense of what we can hope for and why we are trying to achieve digital interdependence. To sign up to the event, please go to http://www.eventelephant.com/inspiringdigitalengagementfestival. We are charging non-presenters ?15, which includes lunch.

Sprint As Process - Eclectic Tech Carnival (/ETC). Article by Helen Varley Jamieson. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=401 In June 2010 Helen went to Madrid for the Eclectic Tech Carnival (/ETC) website workweek - On a 'sprint', a collective effort of five women coming together for a week to rebuild the group's website, physically & remotely. Teams respond to the unpredictability of building software through incremental, iterative work cadences, known as sprints. Sprint methodology, a concept first met in Agile software development, but one that is being increasingly applied as a successful creative collaboration methodology. During the workweek Helen blogged about the process and this article is an assemblage of these posts.

Welcome to the August issue of Furthernoise.org Please find a host of new features and reviews, and a restocked audio player for your reading and listening pleasure. We are also pleased to announce our new net label release, Active Crossover II, which is free to download with printed cover from the site. See editors review for details on this great collaborative performance and installation project. Furthernoise issue August 2010 http://www.furthernoise.org/index.php?iss=87 "4 Releases from Mimeomeme" (feature) The Seattle Phonographers Union comprises five live performances recorded in Seattle from 2004-2008. It is interesting to note that these are not compiled in chronological order, though listening to the album repeatedly, I could not determine if sequencing really made that much difference, as each track creates its own unique sonic trajectory and flow. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=349 feature by Derek Morton "Active Crossover II, Various Artists" (review) Founded by Bristol (UK) based sound artist Simon Whetham, Active Crossover started in 2008 from a residency in Tallinn, Estonia, as guests of the Non Grata Collective. Presenting workshops in field recording and composition, it culminated in Whetham working with John Grzinich, providing a live sound track to a performance by renowned Estonian artist Peeter Allik. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=350 review by Roger Mills "Amarok - Francisco L?pez" (review) On Amarok Francisco L?pez deploys processed field recordings to create a windswept soundscape tailored to the Glacial Movements aesthetic. This isolationist dreamweaver conducts an arctic expedition with trademark atonal drones and snarling blasts evoking the eponymous giant wolf of Inuit mythology, representing a shivering parable for our times. Perhaps. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=344 review by Alan Lockett "Collaborative Soundtracking - Erdem Helvacioğlu and Per Boysen" (review) Through a long-distance collaboration, multi-instrumentalists Erdem Helvacioğlu and Per Boysen deliver the soundtrack preceding the film Sub City 2064 (currently somewhere between ideation and synopsis), whose use of recollected vocabularies from different avenues of pop music, from stadium rock to simmering ambient pads and lounge dub-jazz. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=346 review by Caleb Deupree "Halation - Capricornus" (review) Questing Infraction Records bring bright newcomer Capricornus to the ambient drone sleepover, hosting in Halation a slow-release narcotic of minimal means and maximal Morphean mien. Long languorous swathes of guitar outfolding towards the infinite in a successful foray into the zone between Deep Listening immersion and harmonised drone. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=345 review by Alan Lockett "Jack Curtis Dubowsky Ensemble II" (review) Comprising bass, a vintage analog synth, trombone with effects, and drums, the Jack Curtis Dubrowsky Ensemble plays a futuristic lounge jazz, replete with nocturnal overtones, swampy, humid and mysterious. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=348 review by Caleb Deupree "Lava - Markus Mehr" (review) Released on Perth's Hidden Shoal Recordings Lava is an album, as the title suggests, of textural and timbral contrasts with disjunct leaps of dynamics and tonality. Written and recorded in his home studio in southern Germany, his palette of sounds come from all manner of sound emitting objects, electric shavers, ventilators, electric toothbrushes and field recordings, http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=353 review by Roger Mills "Marsen Jules - Yara (Remastered)" (review) Marsen Jules' classical-ambient-minimalism hybrid releases Yara, a release from 2004 on digital netlabel, Autoplate, well meriting remastered and beautifully repackaged form courtesy of Oktaf, complete with two bonus tracks. Source sounds drawn from classical trio, Yara, while flaunting cut'n'paste provenance and DSP mediation, retain something of the essence of their grace and delicacy. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=347 review by Alan Lockett From ab at mikro.in-berlin.de Tue Aug 10 16:24:08 2010 From: ab at mikro.in-berlin.de (Andreas Broeckmann) Date: Tue Aug 10 17:23:03 2010 Subject: [spectre] (fwd) VIDEONALE 13 - CALL FOR ENTRIES Message-ID: Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:40:13 +0200 From: Tamara Himmel To: Tamara Himmel Subject: VIDEONALE 13 - CALL FOR ENTRIES FOR ENGLISH VERSION SEE BELOW _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ VIDEONALE 13 - CALL FOR ENTRIES ?Ein Ort f?r Entdeckungen", so das Magazin art ?ber die VIDEONALE, das deutsche Festival f?r zeitgen?ssische Videokunst.

The 13th edition of VIDEONALE will take place from 14 April to 29 May 2011 at Kunstmuseum Bonn/Germany. As of now all artists are invited to apply for VIDEONALE 13 with a video work created in the past two years. For the first time VIDEONALE will also accept multi-channel works to the contest. Founded in 1984 the biannually initiated VIDEONALE is counted amongst the oldest festivals for video art in Germany and Europe. Besides its high standard of presented works VIDEONALE reached a widely accepted reputation in its attempt to develop new forms of presentation for video art. Also at VIDEONALE 13 a team of architects and designers will develop a cutting-edge exhibition architecture to meet the requirements of the reception of media art. For the 13th VIDEONALE about 40 works will be chosen by an international jury of experts and afterwards be presented in a six-week exhibition in Bonn. The show will open with a four-day festival featuring a variety of events. Starting in late summer the works of VIDEONALE 13 will be shown at further art institutions worldwide in the context of VIDEONALE ON TOUR. The works of VIDEONALE 12 were shown at the video art fair LOOP Barcelona/Spain, at the Museum of Modern Art in Glasgow/Scotland, at INVIDEO festival in Milan/Italy, at Bavarian House in Odessa/Ukraine, at several venues in Taipei/Taiwan and at the National Gallery of Bosnia-Herzegovina in Sarajevo/Bosnia-Herzegovina. There's no set topic for submissions, but the submitted work mustn?t be older than two years (i.e. starting January 2008). The exhibits will automatically be taking part in the competition for the VIDEONALE-AWARD which will be awarded by an international prize-jury. Deadline for submission is 20 September 2010.

Will Schrimshaw is an artist-researcher from Wakefield, currently based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Often working with sound amidst a larger vibrational continuum, his work focuses on environmental interaction and the invisible determinants of space and place. This work is carried out by means of earth, text and code. folly and Lanternhouse will welcome Will to Ulverston during the last three months of 2010, where he will engage and work in collaboration with a range of local and regional communities. www.willschrimshaw.net Now in their third year, the FLI Residencies offer support to artists working with new technologies to develop their ideas and extend their practice, with a particular emphasis on participatory activity. The scheme is the result of a keen and dynamic partnership between two organisations, folly and Lanternhouse. The programme meets a real need for artists to have access to the high quality discourse and enriching creative environments that Lanternhouse and folly provide. Based in Ulverston, on the edge of the Lake District National Park, resident artists are able to devote time and space to their practice, engaging collaboratively with the host organisations and a rich tapestry of local communities, artists and creatives in the Northwest of England. www.fliresidencies.org.uk folly is a leading digital arts agency working across England?s Northwest. folly presents an active artistic programme that provides creative interaction and collaboration between artists and the wider public using technology. folly commissions, exhibits, promotes and supports creative work and innovation with a strong emphasis on the use of online media, networked systems and integrated technologies. www.folly.co.uk Lanternhouse actively encourages encounters between artists? research, risk taking and participation. We do this through a mesh model made up of 3 strands of programming that enable artistic crossover: Residency: Opportunities for artists, critical thinkers and curators/producers to undertake research and develop new projects Commissions: Off site, digital or temporary projects by artists wishing to engage with people, place and big ideas Open Door: A mixed bag of drop in events that enable people to see, debate and take part in art www.lanternhouse.org From info at fondation-langlois.org Fri Aug 6 16:03:14 2010 From: info at fondation-langlois.org (Fondation Daniel Langlois) Date: Fri Aug 13 10:29:54 2010 Subject: [spectre] News from the Daniel Langlois Foundation Message-ID: <36f43fa1b2b2d9bc1a4eb3ca001f787d@fondation-langlois.org> David Rokeby, Very Nervous System (1983-) A new documentary collection has been added to our Web site. This new publication is about Very Nervous System by David Rokeby. It is a particularly interesting case study for two reasons. Firstly, it offers an unmatched demonstration of the importance of experience in media art. Very Nervous System is essentially an empty room until someone walks in and activates it. It is a work that is brought into being very literally through experience. Secondly, it is a seminal work in the history of media art, with a lifespan of more than 28 years. Its celebrity and longevity pose some particularly interesting questions about documentation and contextualisation of media artworks over time and through change. This documentary collection was compiled by Caitlin Jones and Lizzie Muller while the piece was being shown at Ars Electronica 2009 in Linz (Austria): http://www.fondation-langlois.org/html/e/page.php?NumPage=2186 Audience Experience in Media Art Research @ ISEA The importance of the audience as part of the media art event is widely acknowledged, but although interaction and embodiment are well theorised, we are yet to achieve a well-grounded understanding of audience experience. This panel asks: How can we study, document and understand the audience experience and how it responds to concepts of creativity and of innovation in media art?

Anne Barlow, the Curator of BUCHAREST BIENNALE 5, will hold a press conference on the 21st of September 2010, at Art in General (79 Walker Street), New York, USA, at 6.00 PM. Bucharest Biennale is interested in the link between creative practice and social development, and correspondences between local and global contexts. Now in its fifth year, the Biennale is building a strong partnership between Bucharest?in itself, a symbol of how the political can be reflected in every aspect of life?and Western Europe. The Biennale connects to a universal problem that transcends specific geographical or historical contexts, that of ?resistance? in daily life. The Biennale is a structure that is able to transform the city itself into a site of ongoing activity, as well a field of action. Fundamentally, European culture has been the result of exchange, sometimes peaceful, other times violent, that has taken place between neighbouring societies and different social groups within a given state. These horizontal and vertical forms of cultural exchange occurred in many different manners: through imitation, assimilation, dissimulation, appropriation, through either mutual understanding or hegemonic dominance. The Biennale aims to operate in a way that demonstrates sensitivity and competence in dealing with the "others" as the "alter" from different cultural backgrounds. With BB4 being covered by more than 120 publications and seen by 58,000 visitors, the Biennale is now regarded as one of the most vital biennials in Europe. By appointing a European-American curator Bucharest Biennale will provide a link the between two cultures in a different way. Anne Barlow (born in Glasgow, Scotland), the appointed Curator of BB5, is Executive Director of Art in General, New York. After receiving an M. A. in the History of Art at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, Barlow acted as Curator of the Scottish Arts Council Collection of contemporary art (1989-1994) and Curator of Contemporary Art and Design at Glasgow Museums (1994-1999), where she managed a temporary exhibitions program, contemporary art and design collection, artists? residencies, and new commissions. From 1999-2006, she was Curator of Education and Media Programs at the New Museum, New York, where she oversaw the scope of the museum?s educational and public programs; initiated and developed Museum as Hub, a global network initiative that connected the museum with international contemporary art partners in Cairo, Eindhoven, Mexico City and Seoul; organized inter-disciplinary roundtables with leaders in the fields of the visual arts, architecture, and design; and curated numerous exhibitions and performances. Independently, she also collaborated on the exhibition Copy It, Steal It, Share it at Borusan Art Gallery, Istanbul (2003), and guest-curated film and media projects for Threshold Artspace, Perth, Scotland (2007). Barlow has published for organizations including Liverpool University Press/Tate Gallery Liverpool; the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, United Kingdom; the Edith Russ House for Media Art, Oldenburg; the New Museum, New York; and Art in General. She was also a lecturer/ guest critic for organizations including the Royal College of Art, London; Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw; MUMOK, Vienna; New York University; The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, New York; and Tate Modern, London.

In-Reply-To: <7222215.SVSVDFOK@futureeverything.org> References: <7222215.SVSVDFOK@futureeverything.org> Message-ID: <4C656A02.6010409@furtherfield.org> Sorry for any cross posting Review of the Ambient Information Systems publication. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=404 Article by Rob Myers. Ambient Information Systems by Manu Luksch and Mukul Patel is a hardback book that presents a comprehensive and in-depth, historical context by ambient.tv (Luksch and her collaborators) from during the last decade. The material presented in the book ranges from written essays and project proposals through preparatory sketches, computer server log files and video screen grabs to modification of the printed book iteslf by unique rubber stamps and scribbling over sections of text. This diverse and detailed presentation of ambient.tv's work provides an insight into the inspiration, planning and production of some conceptually and aesthetically rich new media art. About Ambient.tv Mukul Patel and Manu Luksch codirect Ambient Information Systems (AIS), a crucible for the conception and production of collaborative, interdisciplinary, and critical artworks, events, and tools. They work as artists under their own names and also as ambientTV.NET. They have a history of conceiving works that integrate curatorial and collaborative aspects (e.g., VBI), research (FACELESS and the Data Protection Act), community involvement (BOW SPACE), and hybrid media installations (ORCHESTRA OF ANXIETY). Of particular interest are concrete, contemporary issues that arise at the interface of social and technical infrastructures: access to information, privacy, surveillance. The establishment of participative processes, creation of tools, and archiving and documentation are signal features of recent projects. ????> Other Info: A living, breathing, thriving networked neighbourhood...

ART OF PERVASIVE DATA: DEADLINE EXTENDED Editor: FutureEverything You are invited to submit articles and artworks for a new issue of the Leonardo Electronic Almanac edited by FutureEverything. This is a dedicated edition of the leading online journal exploring the FutureEverything 2010 themes of the city and open data. Deadline extended: Abstracts due 10 September 2010 http://leoalmanac.org/index.php/lea/entry/art_in_the_age_of_pervasive_data ART OF PERVASIVE DATA This issue of LEA will seek cross disciplinary thinking on art in the age of pervasive data. LEA is soliciting texts and artworks by artists, researchers, and scholars involved in the exploration of themes including: The networked city Data visualisation Open data Hyperlocal data and the interpretation of proximity Community use and generation of data Novel means of navigating the data terrain. Cities today are vast repositories of information, endlessly collecting and archiving data. The growth and proliferation of databases and libraries that we access and update in the course of our every day lives, and new techniques of accessing, visualising and using that data, leads to new forms of representation and social interaction. The vast scale of these databases brings us to a tipping point, entering an era that is increasingly data-driven. This poses new challenges, such as the demands of making sense of a million different data sources, issues of provenance, interoperability, trust and accountability. The potential for more innovative and novel interpretations of this landscape by creative invention, social innovation and scientific intervention is there to be explored. The FutureEverything editorial group consists of Karen Gaskill, Drew Hemment, Michelle Hirschhorn, Michelle Kasprzak, Julian Tait and Kate Taylor.

ENVIRONMENT 2.0 Guest Editor: Drew Hemment Leonardo calls for papers documenting cross-disciplinary thinking on participatory observation and mapping of the environment, climate and biodiversity; environmental data systems and services; and environmental sustainability in a networked society. Leonardo is soliciting texts that document the works of artists, researchers and scholars involved in the exploration of citizens as environmental data gatherers, and new approaches to environmental data systems and environmental sustainability. There is no deadline for this call - submissions may be made at any time. Themes and issues may include: ??? Participatory mass observation of the environment, climate and biodiversity ??? New approaches to accessing, visualizing and using environmental data ??? Open data and the environment ??? Citizen science and issues of participation ??? Environmental sustainability in a networked society ??? Ubiquitous, pervasive, locative and mobile communication technology and the environment. In urban environments in particular we are separated from the consequences of our actions as surely as the tarmac of the road cuts us off from the earth beneath. This physical boundary encourages a phenomenological separation. Innovative approaches to participatory observation and mapping can overcome this separation, when combined with the way the Internet and digital media have enabled individuals to produce and share information globally and instantly. An ability for citizens to generate environmental data, augmented by freely available public environmental data and combined with new techniques of accessing, visualizing and using that data can help to reconnect people to the environment and contribute to the movement toward environmental sustainability. Linked activities exploring the Environment 2.0 theme have been led by FutureEverything (Futuresonic) and Lancaster University (U.K.). Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts or proposals to .

Torture Music is the kind of music that's perfect for sitting in the Afghan or Iraqi Desert, sharing a prisoner for a night, or relaxing in a military barack or a CIA black site in some godforsaken country on a lazy afternoon. It's music thats just makes you feel free and drives others crazy. But, the artists included in the TORTURE CLASSICS COLLECTION have taken the Torture Music sound and given it a psychotic and everlasting quality. This Torture Music compilation includes 60 songs, tons of images, uncensored videos, pdfs and extra bonus material. The Ultiimate Collection DOWNLOAD-DVD inlcudes both The White Site Album and The Black Site Album. To kick-off of the release of the TORTURE CLASSICS ULTIMATE COLLECTION DOWNLOAD-DVD, a 24h TORTURE-GALA-PERFORMANCE will take place. The headlining act of the evening will be James Powderly, who will be subjected to Musical Torture, in the experienced hands of Hans Bernhard, who will blast Justin Bieber's "Baby" and the new hit track "Two Different Tears" by the original K-pop Idols the Wondergirls. He will be tightened into stress-positions to prevent him from muting the sound. This showcased event will take place in a cell at Gyeonggi Creation Center Facilities in Daebudo - an island off the western coast of South Korea, formerly used by the Japanese to torture Korean orphans. This event will be streamed live.

We shine a "single" spot-light on this dark world of sonic military interrogation." James Powderly: "Now, you too can own the TORTURE CLASSICS COLLECTION, America's Red-Hot and Dark-Blue Torture Hits. The DOWNLOAD-DVD is designed to enhance US security, keep Americans safe and preserve freedom at home and in the rest of this festering, sad and unstable world. I could listen to these magical tunes over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over..."

During the performance, Powderly will be able to hit his head against the wall along to these great songs, as this special memory becomes burned into his brain. This experiment is as dangerous and pointless, as it is glamorous and totally rock n' roll. James will confess all his sins and have a chance to relive his Chinese prison experience - incarcerated for six days in a Bejing jail during the Olympic Games in 2008. Throughout the entire performance, Powderly will be on the verge of a very melodic psychosis. Applied techniques will include: Prolonged kneeling on the floor, cold room, very loud music, sleep deprivation, stress-positions, prolonged hooding and exposure to bright lights and strobes. Special guest stars include, "Superenhanced" interrogation specialist Wendy (aka Wendelin P. Teister), U.S. navy psychiatrist Dr. Shird Kaukasian and a special appearance by Olympic Gold-medalist, Kim Yuna. This radical media-stunt will occur at the Gyeonggi Creation Center Facilities in Daebudo: the same facilities once used by the Japanese to detain and torture Korean orphans during the colonization and World War II. Don't miss this one-time-only performance that is guaranteed to keep you "wall-slamming", singing-along and rocking-out- of-your-mind all night long! DATE/TIME OF LIVE-STREAM: FRIDAY, AUG 13, 2010, Full 24 HOURS: FROM 10am GMT (5am EASTERN, 6PM GMT+8) UNTIL SATURDAY AUG 14, 10am GMT (5am EASTERN, 6PM GMT+8) LOCATION: Gyeonggi Creation Center, Daebudo (South Korea) ONLINE: http://www.TORTURECLASSICS.com/PERFORMANCE FOLLOW THE PERFORMANCE ACTION PROTOCOL ON TWITTER: http://twitter.com/ TORTURECLASSICS BACKGROUND FROM BRITNEY TO BARNEY Music Torture has been officially and publicly confirmed by government officials, human rights organizations, prison guards and interrogators, as well as suspected terrorists who have been detained in military prisons and detention centers. The United Nations and the European Court of Human Rights have banned the use of loud music in interrogations. The United States Department of Defense and Central Intelligence Agency has made extensive use of sonic interrogation techniques, ie. torture by music, in facilities like Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, Kandahar, Bagram Detention Center and numerous "black sites" scattered around the globe. Such Interrogation techniques, combined with sleep deprivation, hard treatment, water-boarding, air deprivation and other notorious forms of torture, has been legalized under special provision of the United States Department of Justice and the White House under both the Bush and Obama administrations and continues to be used today. The actual music used in TORTURE CLASSICS has been reported by both prison guards and released inmates (Binyam Mohamed and Donald Vance, tortured with music for 76 days) and includes Top 40 hits, Metal, Hard Rock, Country and Western, TV theme-songs and commercial jingles, as well as original "mash-ups" created by CIA agents, prison administrators, guards and interrogators. Anonymous: "The Barney Song has a sound that was designed to make children feel safe and loved. But it was used to torture people and to drive them to their emotional breaking point. Music publisher Jive Records changed Britney Spears song title from "Hit me Baby One More Time" to "... Baby One More Time" to get rid of the ambiguous undercurrent to the catchy pop smash hit". Sgt. Mark Hadsell: "If you play the same song for 24 hours, your brain and body functions start to slide, your train of thought slows down, and your will is broken. That's when we come in and talk to them". Guantanamo Prisoner Ruhal Ahmed: "I can bear being beaten up, it's not a problem. Once you accept that you're going to go into the interrogation room and be beaten up, it's fine. You can prepare yourself mentally. But when you're being psychologically tortured, you can't. From the end of 2003 they introduced the music, and it became even worse. Before that, you could try and focus on something else. It makes you feel like you are going mad. You lose the plot. And it's very scary to think that you might go crazy because of all the music, because of the loud noise, and because after a while you don't hear the lyrics at all, all you hear is heavy banging." LINKS: Superenhanced Generator http://superenhanced.com Superenhanced Videos, photos, text, research-material http://ipnic.org/superenhanced AUTHORS Hans Bernhard: "I certainly don't believe in torturing people, well, maybe just a little bit, but i don't believe that playing loud music is torture either". James Powderly: "I think probably, a lot of people might disagree, even some of the other detainees might feel like what they received wasn't torture. And relative to what someone might receive on a daily basis at a place like Gitmo it certainly is not particularly harsh. It's kind of like being a little bit pregnant, we were a little bit tortured". TORTURE CLASSICS is a project by the artist duo UBERMORGEN.COM (A/CH/ US) and James Powderly (US, Graffiti Research Lab) in conjunction with TIME LIFE, the respective artists, copyright-holders and their respective lawyers. TORTURE CLASSICS is an outgrowth, a metastasis of UBERMORGEN.COM's "Superenhanced" project - a two year R&D project on "Enhanced Interrogations" (newspeak for torture), "Extraordinary Renditions" (kidnapping), "Supermax prisons" (high-security prisons) and "child imprisonment" (USA, Iraq, Afghanistan). "The Superenhanced Generator", an interrogation-software, a series of studio-photos and - videos with Lola (2) and Billie (5), torture-performances and military-tribunal installations, and now the TORTURE CLASSICS COMPILATION are products of this long-term project. TORTURE CLASSICS combines the clandestine world of military torture & the special sonic interrogation techniques with the pop-culture ethos and glam- rock flare of the global music-business. Powderly's performance related to TORTURE CLASSICS is an extension of his research into mainstream culture's popular obsession with terrorism and government-sponsored violence and the celebrity terrorists and torturers that fill our screens, minds and water- cooler conversations. Related projects include: Top Chumps Radical Fanaticals card game, where kids compare terrorists' "stats" to win cards and the game, and his music video for Bowie's "Rock N' Roll Suicide", which combines footage of bombings, sniper attacks, explosions, propoganda and executions, released by terrorist organizations on the web, with contemporary music video imagery and style. http://www.UBERMORGEN.COM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Powderly CREDITS Wendy (aka Philipp W.

In the early 2000's rock-pop music mellowed out. Singers, producers, songwriters, Djs and news on the war in iraq and afghanistan filled the airwaves when torture music was born. Powderly: Hi, i m James Powderly Hans: And i am Hans Bernhard Powderly: And together we are The Enhancers Powderly: When we started performing together in 2001 a fresh new wave came out of Afghanistan Hans: Something cruel, mellow and melodic that we have come to know as Torture Music. Hans: Torture Music is the kind of music that's perfect for sitting in the Afghan or Iraqi Desert, sharing a prisoner for a night, or relaxing on a lazy afternoon in a military barack or a CIA black site in some godforsaken country. Powderly: It's music thats just makes you feel free and drives others crazy. Powderly: The 2000s and 2010s are the golden era of Torture Music. Everytime some Hadji and his interrogator sit in a cell somewhere in Egypt, Syria, the US of A or Poland on the in-cell radio or on the individual headphones they hear incredible hit songs with a laid-back sound. Hans: It's that smooth and easy feeling that goes away after listening to the very same song, very loud, for 24 hours. Powderly: These songs really take me back to a time of anger and fear. And now, let me introduce you to our co-host lizvlx. Lizvlx: I can't belief i am sitting here with The Ehancers. You guys have so many great songs. I think i own everyone of your albums and i remember listening to them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. - Hans: Thanks lizvlx, it is a great time to be making torture music and all these songs bring back a lot of wonderful memories lizvlx: WOW. These songs sound great. Powderly: Thats nothing, wait until we get started Hans: If you love the sound of Torture Music as much as we do, have yourself tightend into a stressposition and try not to go mental as we make this incredible music come alive. VOICEOVER: For the first time ever, all the biggest and best Torture Music hits of all time together TIME LIFE MUSIC presents the TORTURE CLASSICS collection Powderly: Let's get back to the early 2000s. I remember flying over Baghdad with the top down and listening to incredible songs over the headphones. like this mellow classic ?March of the Pigs" from "Nine Inch Nails" Hans: You know, the 00's was the era of the TV commercial and of war. Every ad told a different story Powderly: And some of the most memorable wars were fought, and the soundtrack to the war was written and performed by two pop legends: britney spears and the meow mix cat. Powderly: When i hear a great Torture Music song it always takes me back to a horrible place like the supermax facility in Guantanamo or a sweltering cargo-container in the desert near Bagram. Hans: You get a break from the hectic paste of everyday life. Powderly: Some artist took the Torture Music sound and gave it psychotic and everlasting quality. Hans: And you can hear it in classics like this one from Eminem... Powderly: In 2002 just about everyone had this album. Hans: And it made Eminem one of the biggest stars of the decade. Powderly: You know, some people like a fine wine, others like a ice- cold beer... Hans: ...but in 2000 everyone seemed to be reaching for an american pie, Powderly: Wow! what great memories. I still can hit my head to the wall along to these songs. Hans: I know what you mean. And now, all of these amazing torture music hits together in the TORTURE CLASSICS collection. Powderly: You'll get some of the most incredible number one hits in supermax history. Powderly: What a classic and here's lizvlx to tell you more ,.

We're excited to announce that the symposium will this year take place in Whanganui. We'd be thrilled to welcome some of our international friends to our part of the world. Best wishes, Su Ballard, Zita Joyce, Stella Brennan, Douglas Bagnall, Julian Priest, Honor Harger ADA Trustees 7th ADA Symposium 10 - 12 December 2010 Whanganui Aoteoaroa/New Zealand http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/about/ We are thrilled to announce that this year's ADA symposium will take place in the unique surrounds of Whanganui. The programme will engage with the local environment and community through exhibitions, projections, and waka voyages on the Whanganui river, and as always there will be in-depth discussions on current work and interests in media art. This will be a major ADA event. The topic of the symposium is 'Energetics and Informatics'. We have conceived the following broad thematics. * Media and Energy - exploring the material of media, information and energy in digital arts. * Energy Networks - new forms of energy production, distribution and storage - infrastructural critique. * Social Energy - participatory practice, DIY media, floss approaches, social networks as a medium for art. * Sustainable Media - re-localised media, slow media, sustainable response to globalised arts practices. We will be working with One River and have waka available for 50. So we are looking for some project ideas that explore the river. We're also on the lookout for forms of alternative transport to, from and around the city, bikes, trains, electric vehicles etc. We have also booked out the Pioneer Room in the Memorial Hall which is a fantastic modernist slab in Queens Park right in the centre of town. We are collaborating with the Sarjeant Gallery who are offering gallery space as well as the outside of the building for projections. We have exhibition and workshop space at Quay School of the Arts and Whanganui School of Design as well as The Green Bench project room and kitchen. There are other possible performance and screening venues all within walking distance. We'll be making an official announcement and call for proposals by mid September, but for now if you have any ideas, plans, suggestions or questions please drop us a mail: Email: symposium2010 at aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz cheers, ada trustees - douglas, honor, julian, stella, su, zita _______________________________________________ Ada_list mailing list Ada_list@list.waikato.ac.nz http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/ From Info at edith-russ-haus.de Mon Aug 16 16:19:37 2010 From: Info at edith-russ-haus.de (Edith-Russ-Haus) Date: Mon Aug 16 16:20:21 2010 Subject: [spectre] Newsletter: Filmabend - "Waltz with Bashir" von Ari Folmann am Donnerstag, den 19.

August 2010 Eintritt: 2,50 / 1,50 ? Beginn 20.00 Uhr Ort: Edith-Ru?-Haus, Katharinenstra?e 23, Seminarraum Waltz with Bashir - ISR, FRA, GER 2008 Laufzeit: ca. 87 Minuten FSK: 12 Eines Nachts in einer Bar erz?hlt ein alter Freund dem Regisseur Ari von einem immer wiederkehrenden Alptraum, in dem er von 26 d?monischen Hunden gejagt wird. Jede Nacht, immer genau 26 Bestien. Die beiden M?nner kommen zu dem Schluss, dass ein Zusammenhang zu ihrem Einsatz im ersten Libanonkrieg bestehen muss. Ari ist ?berrascht, denn er hat jegliche Erinnerung an diese Zeit verloren. Verst?rt macht er sich auf, Freunde und Kameraden von damals zu besuchen und zu befragen. Er muss die Wahrheit ?ber jene Zeit und ?ber sich selbst herausfinden. Je tiefer Ari in seine Vergangenheit eindringt, desto klarer werden seine Gedanken und die verdr?ngten Erlebnisse erscheinen in surrealen Bildern... Basierend auf realen Interviews und Ereignissen, ist WALTZ WITH BASHIR der erste animierte Dokumentarfilm in Spielfilml?nge. Regisseur, Autor und Produzent Ari Folman hat die Reise in seine Vergangenheit - eine Reise in die Jugendkultur der 80er Jahre und das West Beirut w?hrend des ersten Libanonkrieges - auf fantastische und packende Art visualisiert. Die israelisch-deutsch-franz?sische Koproduktion gilt seit ihrer Weltpremiere im Wettbewerb der Filmfestspiele in Cannes und weiteren Festivalauff?hrungen als das wohl au?ergew?hnlichste Kinoereignis in 2008.

Over the last decade, in the same formal space, VIDA has been bringing together interdisciplinary projects that respond to this situation. By means of formal strategies that defy the boundaries between existing practices, these projects offer new ways of reflecting on what we understand by life and artificial life. Fundaci?n Telef?nica announces the VIDA 13.0 Art & Artificial Life International Competition, which for the last twelve years has awarded prizes for artistic projects using technological mediums offering innovative approaches to research into artificial life.

In an artistic, playful yet serious manner, Space Invaders reveals the influence of games on art and society. This group exhibition with Dutch and international media artists examines the increasing blurring of the boundaries between game worlds and reality. In Space Invaders media art works illuminate the migration of the physical world into gaming systems. Conversely, gaming elements are more and more finding their way into physical space. By infiltrating both game environments and real spaces, the artworks clarify the nature and influence of the computer game environments, and provide greater insight into the role that computer games play in contemporary culture. From minimalistic adventure games based on text to the detailed cities of Grand Theft Auto, which are based on the actual street plan of New York, the world of the computer game is developing to ever more realistic levels. In addition, games are presently no longer defined by progress in a literal sense ? beating a field ? but increasingly concentrate on creating an environment in which the player has the freedom to set out on his or her own explorations: an environment that looks and feels like the real world. Moreover, the internet has created conditions for on-line gaming, which often has still less to do with winning and losing and more with the cultivation of social communities and human networks that extend into 'real' life, like Farmville. Equipped with wireless technologies and GPS, games have abandoned a stationary existence to make their way through physical space as mobile and other available applications. In short, tentoonstellingsgames mix various media and physical spaces to create an alternative, playful reality. Physical and virtual space are becoming more and more hybrid in nature and constructed and invented spaces come ever closer together. With this information as background, one can recognise two approaches in the exhibition Space Invaders. On the one hand the exhibition looks at the most fundamental environment of the computer game: inside the computer. What sort of connections do the games and artworks make between physical and virtual space in the computer world? For instance, while in early text games an imaginary space was evoked by means of text (Colossal Cave Adventure), there are now the detailed cities of Grand Theft Auto, and recently the development of 'augmented reality' games has come into vogue, games that mix computer images with reality in a plausible manner (LevelHead ? Julian Oliver). On the other hand the exhibition presents the introduction of game elements into the physical world: from the performance of video games in 'real life' (Cosplayers ? Cao Fei), and the reduction of the urban game ?Parcours? to a virtual and digital level (Parcour Ready Played ? Ludic Society), to works that remove the game data from the screen (What It is Without the Hand that Wields It ? Riley Harmon, First Person Shooter ? Aram Bartholl). Walter Langelaar also blends the physical exhibition space and virtual gaming space by means of a gaming engine on which the visitor can exert influence. The visitor has to relate here physically to the dizzying mixture of physical and virtual space. Finally, the duo JODI present their performance-installation SK8MONKEYS ON TWITTER, in which unreadable texts are uploaded to a twitter account by means of 'skating' on an keyboard, and a connection is made with the skateboard games by Tony Hawk. In short, Space Invaders shows the increasing blurring of the boundaries between the real world and the game world. In this exhibition gaming is more than sitting in front of a screen and playing a game; the relation with the real world is never far away. Space Invaders: Art in the Computer Game Environment has been produced and curated in association with Heather Corcoran from FACT, Liverpool. The educational program of this exhibition is supported by the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts (AFK).

Just how immaterial is data really? Does it not carry a certain amount of weight, after all? In the exhibition ? developed by students and members of the teaching staff of the KHM ? the immaterial is exposed as ?Heavy Matter?. Heavy does matter: objectively, physically and financially. Matter appears as an autonomous (disruptive) factor between transmitter and receiver.

S. Eliot.?J. G. Ballard, A User?s Guide to the Millennium (1996) Two dominant scenarios of the future of humanity have marked the (post)modern century behind us. According to the first, optimi-tic one, we will reach unimaginable evolutionary peaks due to technological perfection; this disciplined and orderly functioning of machines will bring humans to the final state of evolutionwhere the body never leaves the coziness of the pre-natal state of fullness and happiness. The other scenario gives a more concerned view on the technological advancement and supremacy, haunted with the images of Earth?s exhausted natural resources that will put humans a few evolutionary steps back ? to their animal, ?pre-civi-lized? state. Although completely different when it comes to the final consequences on humanit, those two phantasms entail one thing in common ? the impossibility to disconnect present-day humans from their evolutionary new technological environment, an environment that should bring them to the final resurrection or to the final end. Technology and machines are not created ex nihilo; they are the children of imperfect humanity. Human obsession with machines hides the desire to create all we are not ? perfect, flawless and eternal.This race to create mechanical-beings-we?ll-never-be has been used as a tool in inter-national political fights for dominance many times in the past. Nevertheless, as Slavoj Zizek hasnoticed, the cold war between the USA and USSR became unnecessary when it came to the creation and perfection of super-com-puters. According to him, this is primarily because computers entail a permanent lack, a permanent mistake in their own essence that will provide enough room for future more developed and more perfect models. This immanent imperfection of a brain-machine became its structural condition that guarantees its development and future. Nevertheless, humanity wants to stay blind and deaf for this and chooses to believe in the perfection of machines, being surprised every time when the system shows its totalities and mistakes. Darko Fritz?s series of works entitled Internet Error Messages takes for its subject those glitches, delays and crashes, cracks and gaps in the ?perfect? system of technology-based everyday life at the beginning of the 21st century. Fritz decides to displace those functional messages out of their ?natural? technological environment and questions their real function. In the original environment, those messages have the function of showing us the possibility of the system to communicate with us, delivering messages about its internal processes. Through the selection of particular messages, Fritz decides to pinpoint the emptiness of the global digital database (204 NO CONTENT, 404 FILE NOT FOUND), the exhaustion of its resources (503 OUT OF RESOURCES), the hidden rules according to which the system accepts or rejects our actions (406 NOT ACCEPTABLE), the existence of different systems and their structural incompatibility (405 UNSUPPORTED MEDIA TYPE), as well as invisible trajectories and movements within the system itself (302 MOVED TEMPORARILY). Through those actions of decontextualization of system messages, Fritz erases the illusion of their functionality; he turns them into what they actually are ? ornamental screens whose purpose is to hide the holes in the system. Fritz decides to take them ?out? and put them back in an ?unnatural? natural environment, using land and flowers to replace pixels and electronic signals.Their new form is ephemeral; it lasts until the organic matter lives, showing us the ?true? transient order of things as juxtaposed to the promised eternity of the technological universe. They become a part of the landscape, assembled for the gaze coming from above, forcing us to re-examine our godly position in creating and managing the usual environment of machines. In his decision to use both analogue and digital machines and systems, Fritz wants to establish a connection between the two, testing their ability to communicate with each other but at the same time showing us the speed of change and the abandonment of technical tools in just a matter of months. Fax messages were a dominant way of communication just a decade ago. Today, they already function as tombstones of previous times, allowing us to perceive their aesthetics not any more as functional but as purely visual pleasure. In his actions of sending fax messages to different art institutions (series of works entitled Fax.nl), Fritz not only underlines this, but he also tests the art system and the way it defines and recognizes works of art. The failure to recognize them as such means their erasure from the dominant narrative of art history and their exchange value becomes zero. This way, it becomes clear that the system is not an entity that exists by itself; it depends on and is made out of the human beings who have the power and agency to accept or reject things as art or something that is not. Those visual expressions that I dare to name the aesthetics of failure function as a constant reminder that things might and do go wrong, and the failure of a machine to fulfill its promises of bringing us perfection and eternal happiness becomes the conditionof its actual existence. Stripping them off of their functionality, Fritz shows the lacks those messages try to hide, warning us of the ongoing processes in highly bureaucratized present-day societies to transfer all decision-making to machines as being dangerous in its essence. The distribution of power to a machine that makes mistakes and has no empathy with the smashed human being on the other side belongs more to the other, pessimistic scenario of the future. The possibility to become a statistical error needed for the functioning of every system does not sound comforting at all. As the lucid quote from the beginning of this text reveals, it seems that the fax and email messages we exchange today might be the way for some future generations (in the optimistic scenario) to decipher the essence of our existence. And Fritz?s work shows that this cannot be done without acknowledging the ones considered to be mistakes ? empty, blank spaces in the technological memory.

As a sneak preview, we are happy to reveal information about three guest curators and programme themes they have proposed. These were selected from the open call which was sent out in spring 2010. * MAPPING LIFE / SUSANNE JASCHKO Dr Susanne Jaschko is a Berlin based independent curator of contemporary art with a focus on public and experimental art and digital culture. Her most recent project was the Process as Paradigm exhibition in Laboral Centro del Arte in Gijon, curated in collaboration with Lucas Evers. In addition to her independent work, she has previously worked at the Netherlands Media Art Institute in Amsterdam and as a curator/deputy director of transmediale festival for art and digital culture in Berlin. The working title for Susanne's contribution to Pixelache 2011 is 'Mapping life' and it brings together a number of projects and protagonists who have found intriguing methods to map life in dynamic and physical ways. >> www.sujaschko.de * COMPUTATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY / MARKKU NOUSIAINEN Pixelache 2011 will feature a programme section dedicated to computational photography. This new area brings media artists, photographers and engineers together. The true expressive possibilities of today's digital cameras can be unleashed once the conventional truths of how to use them are abandoned and they are programmed to create images in alternative and often surprising ways. This opens the concepts of photography and camera to discussion and redefinition, and gives rise to possible hacker cultures. The programme section consists of featured artists and works, and possibly a seminar and a workshop. More details will follow in an open call which will be announced in early autumn 2010. This programme section has been proposed by Markku Nousiainen, a producer employed by Aalto University Media Factory, and a media artist currently working on a collective and participatory street art project. >> www.aaltomediafactory.fi >> www.giantsofthehoods.com * GROWORLD BAZAAR / FoAM GroWorld Bazaar is a collection of projects exploring connections between plants and people. The Groworld initiative brings together three ?forces? capable of transforming the world on human and ecological scales: culture, gardening and technology. These three strands of inquiry inform and support each other, aiming to forge new symbiotic relationships between the post-industrial human societies and the rest of the Earth. This programme is drawn from the works of FoAM and will be presented by Lina Kusaite, an artist and character designer who grows plants and builds patabotanical worlds, and Dave Griffiths, who makes computer games about plants, and performs as part of slub - a livecoding band. Lina and Dave are both part of FoAM. >> fo.am/groworld >> www.pawfal.org/dave >> www.cocooncharacters.com From melinda at subtle.net Wed Aug 18 10:54:06 2010 From: melinda at subtle.net (Melinda Rackham) Date: Wed Aug 18 10:54:42 2010 Subject: [spectre] DreamWorlds: Australian Moving Image in Beijing Message-ID: <2A7F1F7B-AA76-4940-839E-11E01DE5659C@subtle.net> PRESS RELEASE (?????? - Chinese below) ----------------------------------------------- DreamWorlds: Australian Moving Image in Beijing 4 September - 16 October 2010 ----------------------------------------------- DreamWorlds presents unique perspectives from eight leading Australian artists on timeless themes of intimacy, isolation and the imaginary. Forged in a vast island continent embraced by sea, these dreamy realms will be on public display on the spectacular 27m outdoor media screen in Beijing?s Sanlitun Village. Curator Melinda Rackham, ex-Director of the Australian Network for Art and Technology, is an award-winning new media artist, writer, producer and curator, with a background in sculpture, installation and performance. For Sanlitun Big Screen she has brought together a selection of the most outstanding Australian media artists working today, many showing for the 1st time in China. The short video works move between mediations on daily life to fantastical computer creations, ranging from Anita Fontaine?s rebellious sense of play and a taste for magic in a modified video game to Daniel Crook?s rhythmic stretching and compacting of time and space in dreamy urban scapes shot in China and Australia. Jess MacNeil traces the abstract movement of swimmers through the undulating waters of the Bondi Iceberg ocean pool, while composer Peter Miller?s generates delicate digital microscopic life forms. Dream Worlds includes an exclusive 3 minute edition of Warwick Thornton?s Indigenous Australian film Samson and Delilah (winner of the Camera d'Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival), a powerful cinematic depiction of first love framed by the red earth in a remote desert community. DreamWorlds is an exciting opportunity to view Australia?s most innovative and thought-provoking moving image art in a major Beijing public space. ----------------------------------------------- Media Contacts: ----------------------------------------------- For more information, images and interviews please contact: Email: info@dreamworlds.com.au Beijing: Edward Sanderson +86 13621078560 (English), ?? 86 15901010870????

Perceptive and impressionable like a real 11-year-old, the virtual boy watches, listens and learns -- recognizing and responding to you."* The demonstration begins with an explanation of how Milo is constructed. A combination of the following three elements allow Milo to exist: 1. A Kinect Camera 2. Artificial Intelligence developed by Microsoft 3. Emotional Artificial Intelligence built by Lionhead Studios. Milo moves through a synthetic environment predicated on User-directed biofeedback/body gestures: no mechanical controllers are necessary. Unfortunately, Milo's introductory learning curve [which is integral to the "game" leveling system] involves inherent gender bias: if you're a girl, your initial game variable is a Butterfly whereas if your a boy, you'll be presented with a Snail. The demonstration goes on to illustrate how Milo's face is comprehensively AI driven. His facial movements include blush response, nostril "flare" size [indicating stress], "body matching" [causing neuro-linguistically driven facial alterations] and responses to verbal cues. Peter then describes how Milo's personality development is predicated on a Cause-and-Effect dynamic. This causality is showcased via 3 examples: 1. The User can choose to direct Milo to squash a snail: if the User does it will effect "...how Milo develops". The specifics of the verbal stimulus employed including* how* the User vocalises [specific phrases and intonations] all contribute to a database that informs and effects future interactions. 2. The User teaches Milo to skim stones over the surface of a river [skewed gender stereotyping is again evident here]. 3. The User choosing to clean Milo's room: Milo's recognition of the User's beneficial intervention and verbal engagement promotes sustained developmental interaction based on [what Peter terms] "deep psychology". This "deep psychology" [or what is described in synthaptic termsas "augmentology"] encourages a User's empathy loadings. This in turn allows such games to shift towards complex experientially-defined engagement. These games surpass the hollow reinforcement of contemporary Social Games such as Farmville: instead, the User "levels up" by knitting fictionalised engagement with personality/identity construction and personalised growth variables. The element of cloud-directed learning [coaching synthetic humans whose social and chronological development depends on "crowdsourced" input] creates enormous opportunties for instruction and feedback via this "Reality Gaming" system. -- Reality Engineer> Synthetic Environment Strategist> Game[r + ] Theorist. ::http://unhub.com/netwurker :: -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At the same time, certain films that are prohibited under the current law can be watched around the globe. These three scenarios constitute different aspects of a common overarching topic. The symposium ?Prohibited Films? will serve as a forum to discuss the various legal restrictions that apply to films, and examine the impact that these restrictions have on film production, distribution and reception.

It is part of Brighton's major digital design conference, dConstruct. Suspending Disbelief explores the links between digital design and artistic practice, presenting new and recent work by internationally renowned digital artists, such as Julian Oliver (NZ/DE), and important emerging practitioners, such as Andrew Friend (UK), a recent graduate from the RCA's Design Interactions programme. It also includes the UK premiere of the much-discussed work "A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter" by Caleb Larsen (US), a sculpture which perpetually auctions itself on eBay. I hope some of you can make it along to see it. Best, Honor Harger Director Lighthouse http://www.lighthouse.org.uk _________________________________________________ Suspending Disbelief An exhibition by Lighthouse featuring work by Julian Oliver, Caleb Larsen, Andrew Friend and Becca Gill & Jay Kerry Preview: 1800, Friday 27 August Dates: 28 August - 5 September 2010 Opening Times: 1100 - 1800 Venue: Lighthouse, 28 Kensington St, Brighton BN1 4AJ dConstruct: Friday 3 September http://www.lighthouse.org.uk/whatson/dConstruct2010.htm http://2010.dconstruct.org/#dconstruct-exhibition _________________________________________________ * Overview Suspending Disbelief is programmed to coincide with the international digital design conference, dConstruct. It draws together works of contemporary art and design, which exist in the interstices between the real and the fictional. The artists participating in the exhibition, materialise speculative ideas, near-futures, or illusory realities, in a series of verisimilar devices, sculptures, interactive objects, photographic scenarios and installations which challenge our perception of what is plausible. All the works in Suspending Disbelief are being shown in Brighton for the first time. * Context The exhibition is part of Brighton's major digital design conference, dConstruct (http://2010.dconstruct.org), which each year brings leading names in design and user interaction to the UK. It is organised by the design agency, Clearleft and takes place at Brighton Dome on 3 September 2010, featuring speakers such as Brendan Dawes (magneticNorth) and David McCandless (Information is Beautiful). The theme of this year's conference is "design thinking", a problem-solving methodology that combines empathy, creativity and rationality. The exhibition extends the notion of design thinking into the physical realm, taking place across two sites: At Lighthouse, the work of Caleb Larsen, Julian Oliver and Andrew Friend will be on display from 28 August - 5 September. At the Brighton Dome, Becca Gill & Jay Kerry will be showing their work for the audiences of dConstruct on 3 September, accompanied by a film documenting the other works in the exhibition, made by Toby Amies. Suspending Disbelief is a pilot project, developed in partnership with Arts Council England and Clearleft, which looks at the relationship between art and digital creative industries. In 2011, we will extend this pilot by delivering a programme of work that further explores digital culture, and the interplay between artists, audiences, makers, and designers. * About the Exhibition "Maybe there's something beckoning over the horizon that's not design and not futurism but just something we might call speculative culture." Bruce Sterling Suspending Disbelief draws from the emerging discourse of "design fiction". The critic and designer, Julian Bleecker describes design fictions as "imaginative conversations about possible future worlds". For him, examples of design fiction are "part story, part material, part idea-articulating prop, part functional software. Design fictions are component parts for different kinds of near future worlds. They are like artifacts brought back from those worlds in order to be examined, studied over. They are puzzles of a sort." The works in Suspending Disbelief go beyond being mere puzzles: they are reality hacks, conceptual conundrums and physicalised thought-experiments which call into question everyday logic and its interaction rules and rituals. They include a physical sculpture made by American artist, Caleb Larsen, that is perpetually attempting to auction itself on eBay; a series of uncannily real, yet seemingly impossible, devices created by London-based designer, Andrew Friend; a 3D spatial memory game made by Berlin-based artist Julian Oliver, that takes the form of a digital Echeresque-world; and an installation by Bristol-based Becca Gill & Jay Kerry where the trickery and illusion of 19th century magic is materialised through pervasive media. * Works - Caleb Larsen: A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter, 2009 http://www.caleblarsen.com/projects/a-tool-to-deceive-and-slaughter - Andrew Friend: Fantastic Series, 2010 Device for Experiencing Lightning Strike, Device for Experiencing the Invisible, Device for Disappearing (at Sea) http://www.andrewfriend.co.uk/andrewfriendfant.html - Julian Oliver: levelHead, 2008 http://julianoliver.com/levelhead - Becca Gill & Jay Kerry: Magician's Desk, 2010 http://www.mercurialwrestler.com/magicians_desk.html * About Us Lighthouse is a leading arts agency in South East England supporting, commissioning and showcasing new work by artists and filmmakers.

Working towards a sustainable convergence between educational research in design, science and technology remains a burning issue. The introduction of new forms of art practice and design at the intersection of media, arts, science and technology requires the introduction and application of distinguished qualification for educators. Yet in several European countries PhD degrees are not yet available in media arts and interdisciplinary studies. What kind of new art genres are being developed by artists? creative use of mixed media technologies, visual culture and communities and what is their impact on education? How is design research and education being embedded in the new modular curricula structures? What are the most effective elements of curricula to educate artists as well as art teachers for the future? Media design today is not only a means for research, but also an overall approach towards research shaping new possibilities opening up through design, design research (Laurel, 2004) as well as learning through (game) design (Kafai). The artistic aspects of interaction have been gradually explored and implemented within the framework of Interface Culture by Sommerer and Mignonneau (2008). An emerging tendency towards research orientation can be also observed as a broader trend in the field of arts and design. Interactive media art is blurring disciplines and has been reflected as a means to trigger and inspire creative processes in education? (Reimann) The tool of design as social intervention is also becoming a hot topic for scholarly research as well as applied studies. The changing media and art education institutions require an interactive debate on the conditions and evaluation criteria for developing new models for institutional networks and qualifications that allow implementing the media arts across curricula structures. Thus the symposium investigates through international presenters and open discussion the increasingly important issues of interdisciplinary research and higher teaching qualifications, including the initial art and design teacher training programs. Aims and objectives: To inspire an open discussion by educators and the public on burning issues towards developing an international dialogue. Outcome: Outcome: Leonardo @ ARS ELECTRONICA follows the tradition of presentations and open discussions in 2008 and 2009 on burning educational issues, creating a global dialogue among experts and the interested public. Follow up plans include the publication (print, online) of a summary document.

Subscribe early to get a place. Transform your iThing into a personalised sensor instrument! This one-day workshop is intended to give people the skills to develop their own personalized sensor instruments on the iThing, without the need to purchase a developers license, learn much coding or ?jailbreak' their phone. The iPhone is well known as an iconic object of desire in our society of consumption. The use of these ubiquitous iThings is tightly controlled by Apple, who only allow certain apps to be allowed onto the market. Developing apps requires a grasp of programming that most people don't have, and the purchasing of a developer's license from Apple. Most of the existing musical apps are somewhat inflexible, trapping the user within someone else's idea of musical expression. Mostly, it plays music as a commodity, and this is the way most listeners interact with it: it's potential remains unrealized. However, we believe that the iPhone offers a new paradigm in post-laptop digital performance, and the workshop will give people the tools to begin unlocking this potential. The accelerometers which typically serve as tilt sensors to rotate photos allow high precision capture of the performer's gestures. The multitouch screen, otherwise used for scrolling and pinch-zooming text, becomes a reconfigurable graphic user interface akin to the JazzMutant Lemur. The fact that all system components - sensor input, signal processing and sound synthesis, and audio output, are embodied in a single device make it very different than the typical controller + laptop model for digital music performance. The workshop will suit people of multiple abilities. Those with no experience of using Pure Data will still be able to modify existing patches and turn them into sensor instruments, which is a great gateway into learning Pure Data itself. Those with knowledge and experience of how to use Pure Data will quickly be able to design their own patches and run them on the iPhone. We'll make sure that everyone goes away knowing where to look on the web for further help and support amongst the large online communities already using Pure Data. Workshop Leader Adam Parkinson is a musician based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, interested in the embodied nature of musical experiences. His musical practice ranges from avant garde discopop to glitchy electronica and textural improvisations. He has had releases on Noodles, Entr'acte, Mutate Records and others, and has done remixes for Si Begg, Cakeboy and Dextro. He has given similar workshops in Portugal, and has experience teaching and lecturing on subjects ranging from postmodern discourses on popular musics to sample editing and beat production. Since discovering the potential of the iPhone, he's closed his laptop and been relying on iPhones as the main instrument for improvising solo and in groups. He performs in a duo with Atau Tanaka, both using two iPhones running granular synthesisers. Atau and Adam have performed at the FutureEverything Festival in Manchester, the New York Electronica Arts Festival and the PixelAche Festival in Helsinki.

Generative or interactive piece of software that let artist creates and controls a video stream or an audio processing in real time. During the workshop we will use Pure Data, a free (as a bird and as a beer) graphical programming language particularly focused on the processing of audio and video data in real time. Pure data is a tool for artists whom wants experiment with a different creation pattern, with a freedom to build from the scratch they own instruments or interactive installation. You dont need to be a programmer to begin to build your tool. In 5-6 days long workshop you will learn the basis of language, how to manipulate or create a video and how to play with audio. At the end of the workshop all participants will play in a jam session together in the Lab space or exhibit their prototypes. Workshop Leaders: Luca Carruba graduated summa cum laude in Sociology of Communication, Luca Carrubba has worked for 5 years under the new media field as artist and independent researcher. Formed between institutional and underground medialabs in Barcelona and Madrid, he focus its production on the interaction between audio and video, always share the practices and codes. Based its action on certain keywords like DIY (do it yourself), knowledge sharing, accessibility, recycling and social movements. Also participated in many workshops to spread free software/technology/culture among Italy, Spain, England, Germany, France, Argentina, Brazil, Palestine and China. He is now professor of new technologies for art in Libera Accademia delle Belle Arti, Brescia, Italy. http://www.estereotips.net/ www.estereotips.net/qeve/ www.gemq.info Oscar Martin holds a Fine Arts degree from the Universidad Politecnica of Valencia, specializing in Sculpture and Audiovisual Media. That is where he came into contact with sound art through Leopoldo Amigo y Bartolom?? Ferrando. A sound explorer, he bases his work on the deconstruction of field recordings and the creative use of technology errors. Luthier-digital with a pure data environment, which he uses to develop his own experimental tools for processing and real time algorithmic- generative composition. He can be placed somewhere between Computer Music, the Aesthetics of Error, and generative Noise. He seeks the creation of virtual sound universes, imaginary soundscapes that encourage active listening and a different sensibility toward the perception of sound phenomena.

It is our conviction that the often incomprehensible abstract machines of internet memetics, with its a-signifying mode of representation and contagious flows of dissemination, require the most rigorous, advanced and absolutely contemporary theoretical treatment. Contribution to the journal may include experimental constructions of Deleuzian theories of/for the lulz as well as themes explored by Deleuze himself such as 'Lulz in the control society' or 'Wolfs in Lulz'. Still, it is important to highlight that this journal is not another niche to the already vast collection of "Deleuze and X" journals. This is not about applying existing theory on a new, trendy field. Rather we want to inject the intense, chaotic, adventurous and hyper-connected spirit of the lulz into the nowadays lukewarm waters of internetional Deleuzian studies. You can forget about bringing your cybernomadic-surfboard...because I eated it! Since we aim for an interdisciplinary approach where diverse fields are able to encounter each others practices, we encourage all internet celebrities, artists, theoreticians, trolls, spammers and camers with an special interest in the study or practice of the lulz to apply.. for the lulz. Submissions will be IRC-reviewed by a board of prominent internet expert-users* with special competences ranging from fields such as philolsophy, chanology, netactivism, hacking, trolling, fashion, scripting and esoterism. Written articles, graphic essays and pre-compiled coded work are eligible to submit, preferably in english or similar global dialect. * * Please note the editors will rid all works of any occurrences of copyright licenses. * The maximum lenght for written articles is 3000 max. The maximum lenght for graphical essays is 3 pages. The maximum size for coded works is 3 kilobytes. Selected materials will be published in *'Deleuze and The Lulz: Radical Emergence ... for the lulz'*. The journal will be available on print on demand and freely on the interwebs in december 2010. *Deadline: October 15th, 2010* Submit your materials at *delulz@zefside.org* **Internet Expert-Users Board* (more to be annonced) Magnus Eriksson Rasmus Fleischer m00t Geraldine Juarez Leon Tan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

During these so-called Summer Sessions, the selected artists are given the opportunity to (further) develop an artwork in close collaboration with V2_'s expert developers, curator and project managers. This year?s Summer Sessions welcomed artists Anouk Wipprecht, Joachim Rotteveel, Mark Shepard and Ivan Henriques into the V2_Lab to work on projects in the fields of augmented reality, wearable technology, and ecology - the three central research themes of the V2_Lab. By holding the residencies in parallel, V2_ aimed to promote a creative synergy between these up-and-coming artists. The outcome of this synergy will showcase in this special summer edition of Test_Lab. As it is custom to V2_?s Test_Lab, the four residency projects will be demonstrated live and the audience invited to assess the works hands-on. And if that?s not enough, refreshing cocktails will be served to celebrate the end of summer, and the beginning of a new Test_Lab season at V2_! This event will be streamed live at www.v2.nl, September 2, starting at 8.00 P.M. CET. Test_Lab is a bi-monthly public event organized by V2_ that provides an informal setting for the presentation, demonstration, testing, and discussion of artistic research and development (aRt&D).

Publishing and the Digital Revolution. Article by Edward Picot. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=406 From Vooks to ebooks, from the iPad to the Google settlement, and from print-on-demand to new styles of writing, this article attempts to analyse the effects of the digital revolution on the publishing industry, and to make some educated guesses about how things may develop in the next few years. "An alternative to the Big Publishing model is already with us, and despite the odd viral phenomenon it consists in the main of very large numbers of small-scale products reaching small audiences, rather than small numbers of very high-profile products reaching huge audiences. This alternative model is enabled by digital technology, and it replaces high production values and market-minded editorial controls with the principle that people's desire to publish themselves and to look at each other's efforts is itself a profit motor."

"...What is interesting about teaching integrated closely with design practice is that it really starts to break down the roles people typically play. There is not so much a hierarchy anymore, but a real platform for exchange. When we teach, we are actually conducting design research on one of our current agendas. When we practice we are giving the research the much needed 'application'. By opening this up to students and collaborators the research is much richer and varied. We feel it's been a notion understood for a while by the progressive practices that one's students today, are their professional collaborators tomorrow.... perhaps we are bringing this collaborative view in one day sooner! We feel the model of the institution as we have previously come to know it is being challenged by economic and social factors. It used to be that the knowledge was at the institution; a student must go there and pay in order to receive this knowledge. The internet has changed this entirely. Real, verifiable knowledge is distributed freely all over the web. ..." Luis E. Fraguada & Monika Wittig, from "LAN - Live Architecture Network.

TRANSVERSAL VIDEO ART One of the most interesting events testifying the great current favour of video art is, for sure, the Festival/Fair LOOP of Barcelona. Currently reaching its eight edition (May 2010), it stands out internationally not only due to its clear choice strongly focused on video art, but especially for its atypical features which made it an attractive meeting point for persons with different needs and in search of different propositions. http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=1853 by Herman Bashiron Mendolicchio - BUDDHA MACHINE.

Norwegian origins, from Troms?, a town immersed in icy silence, 500 miles away from the Arctic Circle.

EROTIC MIXED REALITY PERFORMANCE Biometric sensors, made cheaply available by do-it-yourself (DIY) prototyping platforms such as Arduino, allow a shift away from visual interfaces to proprioceptive interfaces, away from the touch of a finger and towards a more internal, embodied form of sensing. One possible effect of this shift is away from the command-control methodology which was a historical basis for cybernetics, and towards a form of modulation and cooperation akin to intersubjectivity http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=1847 by Micha Cardenas & Elle Mehrmand - GMAYBE?: BE FREE, BE PUBLIC!

DIGITAL CULTURE AND FREE INFORMATION A close step far from the counter-reformation of the "gag law", stirred by the fear of our politicians who are frightened of losing control on the information flow or of a excessive overexposure of privacy and details, we caught the opportunity to go back on the matter of Open Data. But what has Open data got to do with the "problem" of interceptions and "bugs" of public and private world? http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=1848 by Teresa De Feo - INFORMATIONAL REALISM. QUANTUM BIT IN THE CYBER SPACE Information theory proposes that there is a fundamental element the bit- a binary variable- that is the basis of all communication. As it turns out, this bit, a discrete indivisible entity, is the essential building block of both computer code and quantum particles. Both the physical and digital reality are composed of the same quantized binary bits of information. Reality, regardless of it's content, is nothing more than the information it communicates.. http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=1852 by Jeremy Levine - HUMAN, WATER AND ENVIRONMENT. BETWEEN MULTIMEDIA AND SUSTAINABILITY The topic of water in the multimedia, electronic and digital field is huge since the beginning of electronic art and works of art of famous artists such as Bill Viola and Fabrizio Plessi, only to mention a few. Water has been compared to the electron flow and video, exactly for its liquid and mobile nature, is par excellence the mean which is the most linked and compared to this element essence. http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=1850 by Silvia Scaravaggi [COVER]: - LIVE ARCHITECTURE NETWORK - Wind(ow) seat project.

Further performances will take place on September 18, 19 and 20, 2010. ?Pi?ce touch?e No 2? is a performance centered on the touch sense. Starting with purely haptic choreography, it explores how sounds, music, language and narrative can be translated into the medium of touch. The piece is performed directly on the body of the visitor. ?This work is changing the connotation of touch, it is subversively questioning, giving pleasure, waking up the senses and perception, crossing boundaries, being intimate and abstract at the same time.?

Between July 27th and August 29th, 2010, the eleventh edition of the FILE festival is taking place in Sao Paulo (Brazil), at several locations along the popular Paulista Avenue. After a decade of existence, this veteran festival, which spreads over several cities in Brazil (including Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre) as well as other international locations, has introduced for the first time its own award: the FILE PRIX LUX. With a total amount of approximately 120,000 euros, distributed in three categories, the prize is unprecedented in the continent and has received, on this first edition, 1,235 registrations from 44 countries. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=407 ????> Other Info: A living, breathing, thriving networked neighbourhood... http://identi.ca/furtherfield http://twitter.com/furtherfield Other reviews,articles,interviews http://www.furtherfield.org/reviews.php Furtherfield ? art, technology and social change. http://www.furtherfield.org HTTP Gallery ? physical media arts Gallery (London). http://www.http.uk.net Netbehaviour - A networked Artist Community (email list). http://www.netbehaviour.org From Jim at spacestudios.org.uk Thu Aug 26 19:22:02 2010 From: Jim at spacestudios.org.uk (Jim Prevett) Date: Thu Aug 26 19:53:37 2010 Subject: [spectre] !Mediengruppe Bitnik | Exhibition | London Message-ID: !Mediengruppe Bitnik: Too big to Fail Too Small to Succeed 3 Sep - 2 Oct Private View 2 Sep 6.30-9pm SPACE Courtyard and Mare Street Advertising Billboard 129 131 Mare Street, London E8 3RH An intervention into the financial systems of London and Zurich.

One possible effect of this shift is away from the command-control methodology which was a historical basis for cybernetics, and towards a form of modulation and cooperation akin to intersubjectivity. In this paper, we will consider recent writings on interface relevant to the shift from external to internal, or from haptic to organic, discuss our experiences creating and using them, and explore some of the implications of this shift. As an illustrative example, we will discuss our work techn?sexual, a performance where we commit erotic acts in physical and virtual space simultaneously, using heart rate and temperature sensors to amplify and modulate the sound of our heart beats for two audiences. This performance explores how relations between people, and between people and technology, change in Mixed Reality environments. techn?sexual uses the body as a musical instrument to produce sound with the Puredata programming language, in order to bridge the physical performance space and the 3-dimensional multi-user virtual environment of Second Life. The sounds of our heart beats are also sent into Second Life and emanate from our avatars as they too commit erotic acts. This performance involves what we call an "organic interface", or a physical interface which responds to one's organs. Erotic touch becomes a way to activate the body and change its internal state.

In exploring the new ways of thinking about multiplicity of subject-positions "that begins with the critique of its present conditions ('being') in order to embark upon the careful construction of mechanisms of engagement ('becoming')"[1], we are interested in how this might offer the possibility of a "new" space. This is intended to produce relational entities in which an interrelation takes place as "an activity of an un-framing [...] which leads to a recreation and a reinvention of the subject itself."[2] This is where "identity-form" can be re-evaluated beyond "I-other" dichotomy beyond representational boundaries. This brings up a question: how is all this manifested within the realm of creative practice and brought into the spaces of art? Revealing the rapid transformation of several turning points in pursuing a nexus that constitutes new forms of life within the framework of different topologies is the starting point for the exhibition project No Ifs, No Buts, which focuses on the geopolitical implications of what governs the walls of the East and West divide. The questions of geopolitical topology find themselves addressed in specific cultural conditions. The latter suggests that the sensitiveness of these issues marks the production of cultural spaces reflecting the respective representational politics. It is therefore necessary to engage or share an artistic platform of discussion as one of the remits of this multi-layered project. By discussing radical modes of self-referentiality which allow No Ifs, No Buts, thereby forming counter-strategies to globalised forces which restrict personal space, the exhibition raises questions about trans-cultural forms of geopolitical and economic conditions, which lead to a new mapping of terrains on a visual and discursive level. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Translated by Paul Bains and Julian Pefanis, Indiana University Press, 1995, p. 131 * * *Participating artists: * * * *Esra Ersen* Brothers & Sisters, video - 23'20" In the video work *Brothers & Sisters*, Esra Ersen* *tries to challenge the usual debates on the migration issue through taking a deeper look at daily life of African refugees who were not able to realize their plans for travelling to central Europe and live illegally in Istanbul in early 2000. In this context Istanbul becomes the exit point where the city functions as the emergence of transit conjunctures for the temporary state of the immigrations beyond the precarious political agenda of status quo. Ersen's artistic practice which is mostly built around interaction and making the *"*demographic politics*" *visible has been a significant aspect for the pre-production of this particular work. Ersen started filming after spending four months of a dialogue period that define the existential ambiguity with the participants of the work, and she has engaged with a critique of the present conditions ('being') reflecting the tinted ignorance of the immigration phenomena within Turkey through subjective stories. *Daniel Knorr * *Architecture Bucure?ti 2001/2005*, photographs * * The work Architecture Bucure?ti 2001/2005 consists of 26 unique photographs made by Nea' Costic?, a street portrait photographer, after the instructions of the artist. The photographs deal with urban wasteland and the construction as well as deconstruction of new and old buildings. The phase of urban transformation of Bucharest is shown in these photographs, which are made with an old-fashioned plate camera, referencing to the uniqueness of each photograph, which exists in both positive and negative prints, showing the ambiguities of Bucharest's changing urban outlook. The black-and white images convey a spooky character of the town as a place where corruption and dubious business is still under way. Meeting the standards set by the EU is still a difficult task for a city, which has for a long time been seen as Communism's most megalomaniac city, and which is gradually adapting to the overarching European norms. Reforms in urban planning become a task which still seems difficult to tackle with regard to the city's past and future. * * * * *Aglaia Konrad* *Desert Cities, *photographs** Aglaia Konrad focuses a direct gaze on cities such as Cairo, Alexandria, and Anwar el Sadat. This is not classic architectural or documentary photography: her way of seeing things is unadorned and draws our attention straight to the history of the real setting. The photographs show the application of "modernist" principles to architectural development in desert landscapes. They spotlight an improbable dialogue between imported models and vernacular elements, constructions and sites, desert and communities, modernity and tradition (catalogue description). People moving into these buildings try to find a new exclusivity for social as well as living standards. Yet, many of these new housing projects from the 1990s are already falling into ruins and got abandoned; raising questions about the necessity for such grand endeavours far from traditional traffic routes. How do deserts attract attention and how easily are the dreams of utopian places destroyed? Konrad's photographs are testimony to these unusual developments. * * * * *supported by*: * * BM:UKK Stadt Wien - Kulturabteilung MA 7 * * * * *About us:* Open Friday, Saturday 13.00 - 18.30 and open for the rest of the week days by appointment only.

Message-ID: <4C7CEFFD.CA9C.00AE.1@edith-russ-haus.de> Wir m?chten gerne auf Folgendes aufmerksam machen: Herzliche Einladung zum Workshop *Potz-Blitz! Eine Steuerung f?r LEDs bauen und programmieren* mit KH Jeron f?r Jugendliche ab 12 Jahren 14. - 15. September 2010, 16 - 19 Uhr (Di) und 16 - 18 Uhr (Mi) Edith-Ru?-Haus f?r Medienkunst, Katharinenstra?e 23, 26121 Oldenburg Der Lichtworkshop richtet sich an Jugendliche, die Interesse am Programmieren haben. Ziel des Workshops es ist, eine allen Farben des Regenbogens leuchtende steuerbare LED-Lampe zu bauen. Nat?rlich geht es nicht darum festzulegen, welche Form oder Farbe sie bekommen soll. Vielmehr wird dieser Workshop gen?gend Anleitung geben, um im Anschluss auch ein eigenes Licht programmieren zu k?nnen. Dieses kann aus einer oder mehreren Lichtquellen bestehen, die sich auch in ihrer Helligkeit ver?ndern lassen, entweder durch Programmierung oder durch einen Schalter oder Drehknopf. Zudem wird erkl?rt, wie man aus Rot, Gr?n und Blau Farben mischen kann, um den Raum auch mehrfarbig zu erhellen. F?r den Workshop sind keine Vorkenntnisse notwendig! Anmeldung bis zum 10.9. unter vermittlung-erh@web.de oder telefonisch unter 0441-2353208. Teilnahmebeitrag: 5 - 15 ? nach Selbsteinsch?tzung. 25 ? Materialkosten (optional), falls Mitnahme des LED-Programmier-Sets gew?nscht. ?ber Karl Heinz Jeron: Der K?nstler KH Jeron interessiert sich vor allem f?r Alltagsph?nomene. Er sieht seine Arbeit als eine Untersuchung von popul?ren gesellschaftlichen Themen wie zum Beispiel dem Wert von Arbeit. Oft sammelt er Material aus Quellen wie Google, Wikipedia oder dem Fernsehen. Das Material wird von kleinen beweglichen Robotern aufgef?hrt oder zu Videos verarbeitet. Karl Heinz Jeron greift subtil in das Material ein. Das Vermittlungsprogramm des Edith-Ru?-Hauses f?r Medienkunst wird gef?rdert durch das Ministerium f?r Wissenschaft und Kultur des Landes Niedersachsen und die Kulturstiftung der ?ffentlichen Versicherung Oldenburg. ************************************ sorry, no English version available ************************************** Infos zu Ausstellung und Rahmenprogramm Edith-Ru?-Haus f?r Medienkunst Katharinenstra?e 23 26121 Oldenburg +49/(0)441-235 3208 info@edith-russ-haus.de www.edith-russ-haus.de ( http://www.edith-russ-haus.de/ ) Sollten Sie keinen Newsletter mehr von uns erhalten wollen, benachrichtigen Sie uns bitte unter unserer email-Adresse: info@edith-russ-haus.de From y at x-arn.org Tue Aug 31 22:42:50 2010 From: y at x-arn.org (Yann Le Guennec) Date: Tue Aug 31 22:43:13 2010 Subject: [spectre] rising sea level Message-ID: <4C7D694A.9020302@x-arn.org> urban structure reconfigured by the flow (of data) architecture of errors (HTTP/404) urban structure reconfigured by the flow (of data) architecture of errors (HTTP/404) rising sea level (undefined) http://www.yannleguennec.com/elements/en/elevation-du-niveau-de-la-mer-1 / structure urbaine reconfigur?e par les flux (de donn?es) architecture des erreurs (HTTP/404) ?l?vation du niveau de la mer (ind?finie) http://www.yannleguennec.com/elements/fr/elevation-du-niveau-de-la-mer-1 From tincuta.heinzel at gmail.com Sun Aug 15 22:38:34 2010 From: tincuta.heinzel at gmail.com (Tincuta Heinzel) Date: Fri Sep 10 09:50:35 2010 Subject: [spectre] Call for papers - Phenomenology of Digital Technologies Message-ID: STUDIA UNIVERSITATIS BABES-BOLYAI PHILOSOPHIA Series ISSN 1221 ? 8138 launches a CALL FOR PAPERS The topic for the third issue in 2010 is Phenomenology of Digital Technologies CALL FOR PAPERS Studia Philosophia proposes an international debate on the phenomenon of art, technology and scientific development in the present digital era, focusing on the impact of the digital media in our lives. Today?s digital technologies have created a new model of understanding different aspects of reality. The change they produced compels us to reconsider the conditioning of our modern lives while their potential demands to be explored. Penetrating and transforming everyday cultural practices and spaces, they are defining our present paradigm. Communication technologies and portable media devices are today omnipresent and are increasingly ubiquitous and personalized. By capturing and transforming the analog signal in digital form, we are today capable to deal with information of all kinds brought to a common denominator. The digitalization allows us to treat and to carry different types of data with the same efficiency, but also to intermingle them. After a period when the attention was focused on the structures of digital, today we are facing a much more general concern related to the possibilities offered by the interposition between analogue and digital data. With the digitalization we assist to a phenomenon of automation which penetrates the very aspects of our lives. Their alliance today with the spectrum of nano- and bio- technologies is about to induce majors changes in the way we deals with matter and identity. If the matematization defined modernity, we also notice today a re- evaluation of phenomenological aspects. What kind of models are we using today in perceiving and understanding our environment? In which way these models are to be found in the technological development? Can the phenomenological approach and description bring light to the study of digital structures? What are the means phenomenology provides for the study of the digital technologies and their implications? Which are the potential and the limits of the phenomenological method in the field? Are there new models that impose themselves in the analysis of our highly technological world? By trying to answer all these questions, we intend to identify the relevance of the phenomenological approach and method in the research of digital technologies. Our goal in this special issue is to bring together papers that explore the different ways in which philosophy, aesthetics, cognitive science and computer sciences can be combined to offer a novel perspective on digital technologies. Prospective authors are encouraged to take into account the following areas: 1. Digital Technology and Common Experience: * digital and new media art * imaging and sound technology * digital-being * virtual and mixed realities * augmented reality and augmented virtuality * digital fiction and digital reality * simulation and interactivity * techno- and telepresence * portable technology and technosomatics * phenomenological exploration of the digital 2. The Process of Digitalization: * data systems and models * data structures and databases * digitalization and digital literacy * digital phenomenon * techniques of representation and visualization * digitalization and codification of experience * codification and automation * codification and materialization * soft computation * philosophy of science and phenomenotechnique The papers and reviews will be selected from the submitted proposals on the basis of double blind peer reviews. Authors should address the papers before September 1st, 2010 and will be notified on the results via email by October 22, 2010. IMPORTANT DATES: Deadline for submissions: September 1st, 2010. Notification of acceptance: October 22, 2010. Publication: December 2010 Papers should be written in English, French or German should not exceed 75.000 characters and should be accompanied by a short abstract written in English (maximum 700 characters). Submitted papers should be sent by e-mail to the Editorial Staff: studia@hiphi.ubbcluj.ro in ?.doc? or ?.rtf? format as attachments only.
