From marc.garrett at furtherfield.org Mon Mar 1 13:41:59 2010 From: marc.garrett at furtherfield.org (marc garrett) Date: Mon Mar 1 13:42:25 2010 Subject: [spectre] Digital Pioneers. In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4B8BB617.7020300@furtherfield.org> Sorry for any cross posting... Digital Pioneers. Rob Myers reviews the exhibition Digital Pioneers, at the V & A Museum. An overview of the first decades of the computer's history in art and design. including some of the earliest computer-generated works in the V&A's collections, many of which have never been exhibited in the UK before. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=381 Digital Pioneers Victoria And Albert Museum 7 December 2009 - 25 April 2010. "The bulk of the art in the show was produced between the 1950s and the 1970s. This means that it was produced or recorded as photographs from cathode ray tubes or as print-outs from teletypes and pen plotters. Some of this work will be familiar to students of the history of art computing through reproductions but as with most art reproductions do not tell the whole story. Seeing the actual work itself is as important for art made using the paraphernalia of early digital computing as it is for art made with linseed oil and cotton duck. What Digital Pioneers drives home is just how deeply and intentionally involved early computer artists were in manipulating the aesthetically limited but socially and ideologically key technology of computing machinery. This leaves both social art historians and code aesthetes with some explaining to do, or at least some catching up." ------------> Other Info: A living, breathing, thriving networked neighbourhood...

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4B8D284C.4030904@furtherfield.org> Sorry for any cross posting... Review of Transmediale.10 - Futurity Now! By Marcello Lussana and Gaia Novati. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=380 The article features artworks, projects and conference highlights from individuals, groups and organisations. Honor Harger, Gebhard Sengmuller, Franz Buchinger, Ryoji Ikeda, Julian Oliver, Damian Stewart, Clara Boj, Diego Diaz, Ken Rinaldo, Michell Teran, Aaron Koblin, Daniel Massey, F.A.T, Warren Neidich, Kahaimzon Michel, Bruce Sterling, I-Wei Li, Steve Lambert Matteo Pasquinelli and more... This year's Transmediale.10 Festival explores the theme 'future' through connections between arts and technology. A part of the introduction reads "Futurity is a concept that examines what the 'future' as a conditional and creative enterprise can be. At its heart lays the intricate need to counter political and economic turmoil with visionary futures. [...] what roles internet evolution, global network practice, open source methodologies, sustainable design and mobile technology play in forming new cultural, ideological and political templates." 2010 is a year that has often represented the future in Science Fiction literature, such as Arthur C. Clarke's 2010: Odyssey Two, and now here we are. A good time to compare how we percieved the future, the past, and assess what is really happening, what we lost and what we have gained, and 'perhaps' find better ways to proceed. Art can offer different perspectives, ways of seeing and understanding, revealing our present states of being, sharing alternatives or even new meanings for our futures. This festival allows those visiting and taking part, an opportunity to explore, negotiate possible avenues in understanding together, what all this means. ------------> Other Info: A living, breathing, thriving networked neighbourhood...

Article By FABRIC MAGAZINE. ANNIE ABRAHAMS ?IF NOT YOU NOT ME? AT HTTP IN LONDON. Rachel Dainer-Best Whether it?s finding out too late that your cell phone hasn?t been receiving calls or fretting over whether it?s okay to respond to a Facebook message with a text, we all know that technology makes communication both limitless and painfully complicated. Annie Abrahams is exploring these fragile relations via a series of networked performance pieces in her solo exhibition, If Not You Not Me at the HTTP gallery in London. The show highlights her idea that ?communication guided by machines doesn?t go by the same rules, nor uses the same abilities as ?normal? communication.? The central piece of the exhibition is Shared Still Life, a live broadcast between two galleries, HTTP and Kawenga media arts space in Montpellier, France. A still life is set up in each of these galleries and is projected by live broadcast in the other. The interactive exhibit allows visitors to the gallery to rearrange the still life and send messages to visitors at the other location.

Open to the public from 12 March to 30 May 2010, Free Entry From June to August, the exhibition will be presented at the Edith-Russ-Site for Media Art in Oldenburg/Germany. Blog, participate and share are the battle cries of a media culture in which the boundaries between private and public, personal and political have been eroded by social media. This exhibition, MyWar - Identity and Appropriation under War Condition, explores the impact of web 2.0 on the experience of war. The show seeks to pinpoint real and imagined levels of moral implication in wars that are often only experienced in a mediated form. It presents art and media projects with a radically personal affection to war, whether as reality or fiction, motivated by serenity, desperation, projection, or hysteria. Breakfast With The Artists The Box, 12 March 10:30am-12:30pm Price: ?4.00/?3.00 (Members & concs) A unique opportunity to haer some of the MyWar artists, including Thomson & Craighead and Knowbotic Research, talk about their work and the themes of the exhibition.

Stadnik (photon guitar) with James Ross (live sound) Invited respondent/moderator: - Eric Rosenzveig Suggested donation: $ 7 Diapason 882 Third Avenue, between 32nd and 33rd Streets, 10th floor BROOKLYN (Sunset Park) (718) 499-5070 www.diapasongallery.org directions: D, N or R train to 36th Street in Brooklyn OptoSonic Tea is a regular series of meetings dedicated to the convergence of live visuals with live sound which focuses on the visual component. These presentation-and-discussion meetings aim to explore different forms of live visuals (live video, live film, live slide projection and their variations and combinations) and the different ways they can come into interaction with live audio. Each evening features two different live visual artists or groups of artists who each perform a set with the live sound artists of their choice. The presentations are followed by an informal discussion about the artists' practices over a cup of green tea. A third artist, from previous generations of visualists or related fields, is invited specifically to participate in this discussion so as to create a dialogue between current and past practices and provide different perspectives on the present and the future. Organized by Katherine Liberovskaya and Ursula Scherrer OptoSonic Tea is partly funded by the Experimental Television Center. The Experimental Television Center?s Presentation Funds program is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts. About the artists: Dan Conrad lives in Baltimore. In recent years he has been making ?light paintings?, configurations of automatic color-changing light behind a translucent screen. A collection of these works can be seen at www.chromaccord.net . Conrad?s statement for the Optosonic Tea: My interest in color sequencing began in 1968 when I read Josef Albers? Interaction of Color. In 1971 in San Francisco I built a color sculpture/light machine that changed color using multiple dimmers that were manipulated during a performance. This instrument evolved into the chromaccord color instrument built in 1999. I have performed the chromaccord with a variety of musicians, and silently. Compared to other senses, visual perception has remarkable latency properties that function in space and time. The chromaccord juxtaposes two or more areas of mutable color. At any moment lateral neural responses in the retina create simultaneous contrasts that are characteristic of each color juxtaposition. As colors are altered, afterimage effects cause sequential contrasts that are characteristic of the particular color change. The chromaccord is designed to elicit these visual latency effects, and it relies almost entirely on them for its expression. Jorge Martins, who was born in Portugal, has been living in Baltimore for three years, where he is active with several forms of music, from improvisation to composition. He describes his approach to performing with Dan Conrad on chromaccord as follows: I will play electric guitar in the style of Lizard Music, the music of a fat lizard in the summer lying on a hot stone, motionless listening. I listen and play after I listen. Listening usually takes me longer than playing. Lizard Music is chord-based without chord progression, away from constant sound. George O. Stadnik, Lumia Artist. "The science of light inspires my art. My curiosity, discovery, imagination, creativity and discipline transform the cool formulas and calculations of optical physics into a temporal reality of color, motion and emotion. My Lumia artworks are the result of experiments and inspirations across a wide range of media. My formal art education includes a BFA in Experimental Studios from Syracuse University in 1972. From 1976 through 1984, I built a Lumiagraphtm Studio in Worcester, MA. The studio was comprised of a 10' x 12' x 8' light-tight room - a sort of camera obscura. In it, I created still image compositions using discarded industrial optics - dichroic glass, lenses, diffraction gratings, liquids with optical properties. A variety of light sources - tungsten, halogen, laser and even sunlight and moonlight were used. With these simple elements, I created large format Lumia compositions that were recorded as direct, one of a kind, still images onto large sheets of CibaChrometm film. Lumiagraphstm were exhibited in Boston, New York and London. Today, they can be found in private and corporate collections around the world. My original inspiration for this lifetime of work was a Lumia composition, created by Thomas Wilfred called Opus 158, which I saw as an art student in 1968, at MOMA in New York City.The Visual Music of Digital Lumia and Synaesthesia - Digital Lumia owes its very existence to pure inspiration from seeing the work of the 20th Century artist Thomas Wilfred, who invented the art form of Lumia. Mr. Wilfred performed his compositions in Clavilux concerts and exhibited animated versions of his light sculptures, called Clavilux Juniors throughout the United States and Europe. His compositions were silent. They were intended to be experienced as visual music. Mr. Wilfred intended that his audiences interpret the imagery synaesthetically - what the eye saw in the composition, triggered the mind to create the complementary or contrasting sound, flavor, texture or feelings; there were no narratives, although Wilfred's pieces could evoke fantastic landscapes, futuristic cities, elegant gardens or the most primitive, primal moments. My work builds on this tradition and brings it into a contemporary cultural context to inspire and stimulate each viewer?s imagination to discover and create their own visions, stories and emotions within themselves. Digital Lumia is created using optical simulation algorithms and software to construct virtual optical machines. The elements within each machine are adjusted over time so that a visual sequence of changes in color, refraction, reflection and shadow is composed. The resulting sequence is tested with key frames, it is then rendered in one of several resolution and file formats for output and display. Digital Lumia Compositions are available as high resolution DVDs (movies), or high resolution, archival LightJet prints (still images)." For more information about the Art of Digital Lumia - contact: stadnik@erols.com or visit: http://www.photonlightguitars.com James Ross is a guitarist and composer living in Brooklyn, NY. Originally from the Pittsburgh, Pa., area, Mr. Ross has studied guitar at the University of Pittsburgh and the Mannes College of Music. He has written music for orchestral and chamber ensembles, electronic works, as well as solo music for the guitar and the zhongruan (a type of Chinese lute). His album ?Three Pieces,? a combination of environmental sounds, guitars, flutes, voices and electronic drones, can be heard at http://www.archive.org/details/nnm004 . He is currently studying North Indian classical music and composition with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela.

Eric Rosenzveig is an artist who's collaborative work with Willy LeMaitre straddled the line between sound and image - performed media in the mid-'90's, then autonomous systems at the end of the decade and finally encompassing consumer electronics as artworks. He currently runs the Center for Audio-Visual Studies Department at FAMU, the National Film School in Prague, CZ. for more information about OptoSonic Tea please visit: http://www.diapasongallery.org/optosonic.html From bbrace at eskimo.com Fri Mar 5 01:23:12 2010 From: bbrace at eskimo.com ({ brad brace }) Date: Fri Mar 5 01:23:47 2010 Subject: [spectre] Fwd: France : call for residency - young photographers In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: _ |__ __| | /_ |__ \| | | __| | | | (_) | | __/ (__| |_ __ | | | | | | __/ | |/ /_| | | | | _ | | | '_ \ / _ \ | | / /| '_ \| '__| The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project >>>> posted since 1994 <<<< _ | | | '_ \ / _ \ | | / /| '_ \| '__| -_ | | | |__ ___ | | ) | |__ _ __ _ | __ \ (_) | | "An impassive observer, { brad brace } forges a personal aesthetic in these 12hr-images infused with blank-sadness and a sense of mystery.

You begin to sense the byshadows that stretch from the awe of global dominance. How the intersecting systems help pull us apart, leaving us vague, drained, docile, soft in our inner discourse, willing to be shaped, to be overwhelmed -- easy retreats, half beliefs. Works of art are complex formal interventions within discursive traditions and their myriad filiations. These interventions are defined precisely by their incomparable capacity to trace the dynamics of historical process in paradoxical gestures of simultaneously prognostic and mnemonic temporalities. | __| | | | (_) | | __/ (__| |_ _ | | | '_ \ / _ \ | | / /| '_ \| '__| _| |__) | __ ___ _ ___ ___| |_ |_ ___/ '__/ _ \| |/ _ \/ __| __| |_| _ |_| \___/| |\___|\___|\__| _ _/ | _ |__/ > > > > Synopsis: The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began December 30, 1994. A `round-the-clock posting of sequenced hypermodern imagery from { brad brace }. The hypermodern minimizes the familiar, the known, the recognizable; it suspends identity, relations and history. This discourse, far from determining the locus in which it speaks, is avoiding the ground on which it could find support. It is trying to operate a decentering that leaves no privilege to any center.

The basic structure of the project has been over twenty-five years in the making. While the specific sequence of photographs has been presently orchestrated for many years` worth of 12-hour postings, I will undoubtedly be tempted to tweak the ongoing publication with additional new interjected imagery. Each 12-hour image is like the turning of a page; providing ample time for reflection, interruption, and assimilation. ~ The sites listed above also contain information on other cultural projects and sources. ~ A very low-volume, moderated mailing list for announcements and occasional commentary related to this project has been established at topica.com /subscribe 12hr-isbn-jpeg -- The image was to make nothing visible but their connection with one another by space and air, yet each surrounded by the unique aura that disengages every deeply seen image from the world of irrelevant relationships and calls forth a tremor of astonishment at its fateful necessity. Thus from artworks of dead masters, over-life-size strangeness whose names we do not know and do not wish to know, look out at us enigmatically as symbols of all being. -- Big Grey Bricks: This project also serves as a rehearsal for its culmination as a series of offset-printed volumes: each 800+ full-bleed pages (5x8"_300lpi), where the full integrated rhythm of greyscale-sequence can be more intricately resolved. I'd provide all design, prepress and production. The tonality of the imagery is important; these 12hr-jpegs scanned from film-prints are quick approximations for an institutionally unsupported outcome. -- This project remains untainted by corrupt corporate and glib government art-subsidies. Some opportunities still exist for financially assisting the publication of editions of large (33x46") prints; perhaps (Iris giclees) inkjet duotones or extended-black quadtones. Other supporters receive rare copies of the first three web-offset printed ISBN-Books.

This has led to many variant developments in the past that have attempted to move this system into new paradigms,tributaries, or complete erasures into new modes. It is important to avoid the ?rise, rise young lions? notion of how the new must topple the old and the construct that one must progress through radical means to ?solve? the older functionalities. It is not this; it is that, as new possibilities emerge that can enhance and newer tools come into being that allow deeper levels; it is logical to explore them and to open those new tributaries. The book is not dead, nor should it be. The library does not need to be shuttered as a relic, a museum piece or traces in aging photographs. The internet too, as shiny as it may seem in comparison in these times, will someday be seen as a veritable steam ship in relation to what will come in some future present. To ?read? a place is no longer about placing a singular narrative upon it, triggered from a map, nor is this notion of ?reading? only to have a singular, unalterable experience or interpretation. To ?publish? has long been a general association of taking a work and finding a print or web space for it to be presented as more than just a work in progress. This has also long been problematic as well as a gross oversimplification. To ?publish? is also self publication and distribution in communities or like minded groups without the hard read of publication or rejection. Well, aren?t cities the same? Aren?t all places to be interpreted as such? Doesn?t this give rise to a need for a more malleable , variant, multi-tiered sense of presentation of texts and narratives?

Each work, in its own way, has the restrained intention of trying to understand the local realities that surround us and shape our identity. All together communicates some off-the-record information about various conditions and realities. Hence, the ?off- the-record? narratives have the potential to generate voids in the vortex of registered histories. This collection of works touches upon the issues of the control of the memory as each work clearly manifests how individual stories about the past interact with existing narratives and other forms of remembrance. ?N?G?R? (2005 ? 2010) by ERHAN MURATOGLU The work is based on a casual talk with a 94-year-old woman, who had migrated from Bulgaria to Turkey when she was young. Her personal collection of photographs implies disparate hints of her life, while she is sharing her fragmented personal memories. ?Nigar? refrains from any immersive storytelling as Muratoglu perceptibly had no intention to build any intimacy with the subject. Yet, the sincere memories build fascinating links to the unofficial and untold history of the 20th century. ?ELEPHANTS IN THE NIGHTS OF METULA? (2005 ? 2010) by SALA-MANCA ?Elephants in the Nights of Metula? is an installation that includes video, digital slides, film, animation and two voices in Yiddish and English. The work is based on texts of the Yiddish poet Avraham Sutzkever and deals with the harsh israeli cultural control policies of the 50's towards jewish diaspora cultures, in a process of hegemonization of a new Hebrew culture. Elephants in the Nights of Metula is a continuation of the research on the gap between the written letter (the text), its voiced expression, the body and the icon, and on visual, cultural and sound translations in the electronic realm. Info on artists: Erhan Muratoglu is an interactive designer and digital artist. He is specialised in motion graphics design and audio-visual design. He studied industrial design (Bachelor of ID, Middle East Technical University) and graphic design (MFA in Graphic Design, Bilkent University). He worked and exhibited in Turkey, Europe, the UK, and the US with his computer generated projects, and received awards in festivals for his experimental videos. He has been writing on design, technology, art and media for various publications, since 1992. Recently, he was a lecturer in the Dept. of Communication Design, Kadir Has University in Istanbul. He is one of the founding members of NOMAD, an association working on digital art and culture. He is in the organizing committee of ctrl_alt_del sound-art project. Sala-Manca is a group of independent Jerusalem-based artists that creates in different fields: performance, video, installation & new media since 2000. Sala-manca?s works deal with the poetics of translation (cultural, mediatic and social), with textual, urban and net contexts and with the tensions between low tech and high tech aesthetics, as well as social and political issues. supported by: BM:UKK ERSTE Foundation Stadt Wien - Kulturabteilung MA 7 Anadolu K?lt?r Open Space Zentrum f?r Kunstprojekte Lassingleithnerplatz 2 A- 1020 Vienna Austria (+43) 699 115 286 32 for more info: office@openspace-zkp.org http://www.openspace-zkp.org From nc-agricowi at netcologne.de Mon Mar 8 09:44:22 2010 From: nc-agricowi at netcologne.de ([nmf2010}) Date: Mon Mar 8 09:45:42 2010 Subject: [spectre] NewMediaFest'2010 - program - week 11 Message-ID: <20100308094423.7A5087B1.B71A6E7A@192.168.0.3> NewMediaFest'2010 Feature of the week 11 - 8-14 March 2010 http://2010.newmediafest.org/?p=680 ---------------------------------------------------- The venues Manipulated Image Santa Fe (USA) - 12 March Traverse Video Festival Toulouse (France) - 11-14 March Oslo Screen Festival (Norway) - 12 - 14 March ---------------------------------------------------- 12 March Manipulate Image @ The Complex Santa Fe - New Mexico (USA) For the Action's Sake - screening, project, installation, performance event - co-curated by Alysss Stepanian (curator of MI) and Wilfried Agricola de Cologne (curator of VideoChannel/CologneOFF) --> Manipulated Image selection artists selected by Alysse Stepanian John Criscitello (New York), 2- David Kareyan (Armenia) Ulf Kristiansen (Norway), Jonas Nilsson (Sweden) Roland Wegerer (Austria), Julia Zastava (Moscow, Russia) --> The VideoChannel selection is featuring Daniel LoIocono (Germany), David Jakubovic (USA) Ioannis Roumeliotis (Greece), Rafael (Belgium) Ascan Breuer (Germany), Alex Lora (Spain) Casey Mckee (USA), Daniel Rodrigo (Spain) more details on http://2010.newmediafest.org/?p=680 ---------------------------------------------------- 12 March Traverse Videofestival Toulouse/France - 11-13 March 2010 http://www.traverse-video.org --> program VIDEO D'ICI ET D'AILLEURS ? shows the Agricola de Cologne videos -Encoded-, 5:50, 2008 Hairdryer, 2008, 1:00 Mi nombre es Wilfried, 2009, 6:00 more details on http://2010.newmediafest.org/?p=680 ---------------------------------------------------- 11-14 March 2010 Oslo Screen Festival http://www.screenfestival.no presents the Agricola de Cologne video --> Silent Cry more details on http://2010.newmediafest.org/?p=680 14 March OSLO Screen Festival - 11-14 March 2010 presetation/screening - --> CologneOFF IV & V - curated and presented by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne featuring Lin Fangsuo (China), Roland Wegerer (Austria) Casey McKee (USA), Masha Yosefpolsky (Israel) Alex Lora (Spain).

Actualit? de Charles-Louis Philippe et de Marguerite Audoux Le 8 mars 2010 par Marguerite Audoux et Charles-Louis Philippe / pr?face par Aliette G. Certhoux http://www.larevuedesressources.org/spip.php?article1572 Vif t?moignage de Marguerite Audoux sur Charles-Louis Philippe (1874-1909), dans la Nouvelle Revue Fran?aise en 1910. Or cette ann?e 2009-2010 nous sommes dans la c?l?bration de Charles-Louis Philippe, au passage du centenaire de sa disparition le 21 d?cembre. ?crivain de la perte, subtil, engag? par son r?alisme social et la m?lancolie po?tique, mais encore par l'ironie de son style romanesque populaire, avec un usage de la syntaxe qui fait r?sonner les phrases comme des aphorismes dialectiques ou des anagrammes philosophiques ou : "Ce n'est pas impun?ment qu'on est venu jusqu'? vingt-trois ans sans casier judiciaire" (" Bubu de Montparnasse ") ; "Deux sortes d'hommes habitent la Terre: ceux qui protestent et ceux qui ne protestent pas." (" Les chroniques du canard sauvage ") ; "On a toujours l'air de mentir quand on parle ? des gendarmes." (" Les chroniques du canard sauvage ") ; "C'?tait une galette aux pommes de terre, chaude et dor?e, dont la cro?te ?tait tendre, parce qu'ils n'avaient pas beaucoup de dents et dont la miette, pleine de beurre, fondait dans la bouche et y ruisselait." (" Le p?re Perdrix ") ; sur la morale engag?e dans la litt?rature : "Toutes les crises morales de la litt?rature sont les crises morales de la bourgeoisie." (cit? dans dans " Litt?rature contemporaine ", par G. Le Cardonnel et Ch. Velay) ; "Le gras est aussi bon que le maigre ; dans chaque bouch?e il faut les m?ler l'un ? l'autre et l'ensemble acquiert un go?t de noisette." (" Le p?re Perdrix ") ; une d?finition du naturalisme (Oublier Zola) : "Il a manqu? ? M. Emile Zola de grands vices pour faire une grande oeuvre" (" Les chroniques du canard sauvage ") ; "Un sang alcoolis? coulait dans ses membres, avec des moments d'entarin, puis avec des moments de bont?." ( " Bubu de Montparnasse ") -- Dicocitations. D?s le 15 f?vrier, ? l'?poque, soit moins de deux mois apr?s sa mort, pas plus du temps imparti pour lancer une ligne ?ditoriale d?di?e, requ?rir ses contenus et les imprimer, ne fut n?cessaire, pour que La nouvelle revue fran?aise (NRF) lui rend?t hommage apr?s avoir commenc? l'ann?e par maintenir le lien, en publiant en deux parties son dernier roman, l'autobiographie sous un autre nom de personnage, rest?e inachev?e " Charles Blanchard ". On se retrouve bien lents ? ritualiser la pr?sence ou ? comm?morer l'absence aujourd'hui, si on pense par exemple ? tous les petits in?dits restant ? traduire de Salinger en France, et pour ne pas parler de ce qui a forg? l'histoire des libert?s r?publicaines et des droits ?gaux des citoyens, dont les bourses de l'?cole publique, pass?s ? la trappe de la litt?rature. Certes, la question des droits d'auteur et des droits voisins nous ?touffe. Il nait moins de dix ans apr?s La Commune de Paris, dans la r?publique de Thiers, il meurt jeune d'une m?ningite, avant la premi?re guerre mondiale. Complication irr?versible d'une typho?de quand les antibiotiques n'existent pas. Il est d?j? reconnu m?me si on vient de lui refuser un Goncourt pour " Croquignole " (1906) -- pour la troisi?me fois, en d?pit des efforts r?p?t?s d'Octave Mirbeau qui y croit. Il est le novateur d'un genre romanesque au plus pr?s de la biographie et du documentaire, la biofiction et l'autofiction, que Marguerite Audoux honorera de sa plume avec un grand succ?s (son roman " Marie-Claire " fera un best seller traduit en neuf langues). Il con?oit l'?criture comme une avanc?e dans la conqu?te de l'autonomie citoyenne. Auteur engag? par une position de classe, anarchiste, bien qu'il travaille loyalement dans l'administration du d?partement de la Seine, o? il a trouv? un emploi confortable gr?ce ? l'acad?micien Barr?s, auquel il ne cache pourtant pas ses id?es contre le nationalisme. Ainsi trouve-t-il le moyen de s'extraire du besoin. Il se situe dans la voie des ?crivains de la fonction publique, qui ne tirent pas de leur cr?ation litt?raire le principal de leurs ressources mais de leur double statut lib?rent leur plume d'autant, entre les employ?s de service -- sans compter les policiers -- les administrateurs et les diplomates, depuis Stendhal jusqu'? G?rard Klein. Charles-Louis Philippe est l'animateur d'une avant-garde litt?raire volatile -- dont la trace n'est pas scell?e par les manifestes -- dite "groupe de Carnetin", du nom d'un village au nord de la Haute Marne o? le groupe se rassemble chaque dimanche de 1904 ? 1907, dans une maison lou?e en commun ? un certain monsieur Terrasse, proche du peintre Bonnard et du mouvement des nabis, dont la Revue Blanche recense les engagements mieux que toute autre, mais elle vient de s'arr?ter (1903) lorsque le groupe prend la maison. Entre ?crivains et artistes, la plupart comme Philippe ayant un autre m?tier pour gagner leur vie ou se contentant d'une petite rente ou se contentant d'une petite rente par un p?re ? la reconnaissance tardive d'en enfant naturel, comme L?on-Paul Fargue dont la m?re est couturi?re -- c'est la condition de Marguerite Audoux pass?e au stade de l'atelier et de la cr?ation de patrons lorsqu'elle rencontre le groupe --, se reconnaissent dans le projet anarchiste ?conomique (celui qui r?sulte de la rupture politique de la seconde Internationale, en 1889). Le groupe pr?sente des membres stables entre L?on Werth, Francis Jourdain (peintre po?te avec lequel L?on-Paul Fargue et Maurice Thomas Tourneur cr?ent la revue La croisade en 1904), Michel Yell (le jeune magistrat Jules Ielh qui se rendra connu plus tard comme ?crivain), la couturi?re et po?tesse Marguerite Audoux (l'a?n?e, amen?e par Iehl), le multiple L?on-Paul Fargue (artiste musicien et po?te qui traverse les avant-gardes de sa g?n?ration toujours en qu?te de la suivante comme de la pr?c?dente), Charles Chanvin (avocat et po?te), Charles-Louis Philippe, et le r?seau parisien d'?crivains, d'artistes, de musiciens, du cercle artistique et po?tique de L?on-Paul Fargue, tels Maurice Cremnitz, Louis Rouart, Maurice Ravel, Alfred Jarry (avec lequel Fargue qui l'a rencontr? au lyc?e a cr?? en 1894 la revue L'art litt?raire et qui meurt jeune, lui aussi, en 1907). Ils viennent les saluer dans leur retraite, d?contract?s, et les rencontrent ? Paris, o? le groupe ne se perd pas de vue... Carnetin est alors connu pour une maison de repos et de retraite recherch?e par les gens de la sc?ne, c'est un endroit paisible qui n'est pas d?connect? de la mode ni des ?v?nements. Habiter ensemble joyeusement et ?crire loin de la pollution et du tumulte. De toutes fa?ons il y a du bonheur de vivre dans la soci?t? contemporaine m?me ? revenir du pire et ? y bagarrer, et de s'y rencontrer selon des affinit?s ?lectives. La vie est br?ve et elle est aussi destin, on ne refuse pas qu'elle puisse devenir au jour le jour moins violente ou plus douce que les conditions les plus fatales des existences respectives ; le pire de l'atteinte pour eux ?tant celle qui pourrait ?tre collective -- celle qui pourrait les emp?cher de s'entraider, ou l'atteinte contre le peuple entier. C'est aussi cela ce qui lie le groupe de Carmetin, certainement une des avant-gardes les moins dogmatiques et les plus ?mergentes qui aient jamais exist? dans la modernit?, p?riph?rique (donc d?centr?e), qui ne se regroupe pas dans une revue qui la repr?sente, mais au contraire se disperse et se diffuse ? l'ext?rieur d'elle-m?me... Innover les id?es d'une nouvelle litt?rature et des arts populaires en vivant ensemble, sans concession sur le rappel des origines, ni sur la solidarit? au-del?. Dans le r?seau agit? des ?coles d'Art. Ils ont l'amiti? d'Andr? Gide, chef de file de la NRF et du dreyfusard Octave Mirbeau (dont L?on Werth ach?vera le dernier manuscrit), d?j? cit? ? propos de Croquignole, membre permanent de l?acad?mie Goncourt par la volont? testamentaire d?Edmond Goncourt. Il sera pr?cieux ? Marguerite Audoux, pour laquelle il trouvera l??diteur du livre qui deviendra un Femina en 2010, ce fameux Marie-Claire qui finira par ?tre r?cup?r? comme un mod?le de la bonne conscience de la f?minit? bourgeoise, quand au contraire en tant que femme du peuple elle est un exemple d'autonomie y compris dans sa vie priv?e, dans l'hommage du titre donn? par Prouvost ? un magazine f?minin, cr?? en 1937 ann?e de disparition de l'auteur, magazine toujours ouvrable aujourd'hui ? l?ann?e o? elle rendra hommage ? son camarade de litt?rature anarchiste Charles-Louis Philippe dans La nouvelle revue fran?aise. Ce qui caract?rise les membres du groupe n?est pas seulement leur ?change professionnel, leurs id?es litt?raires, et leurs d?bats critiques entre amis, mais encore une grande solidarit? dans leurs vies quotidiennes. "Combien j'aime la tendresse des rythmes, c'est du charme sans nom, soupirer et vivre avec les g?nies que fit Dieu. La cr?ation n'est belle que parce qu'on la peut chanter." dit-il, ; or Dieu ne pourrait signifier ici la croyance (Philippe se revendiquait agnostique), plut?t une m?taphore de l'harmonie. C'est que sans concession ? soi, passant ? l'acte la proposition de Verlaine selon laquelle il y aurait de la musique en toute chose, le groupe pourrait-on dire se meut musicalement : chaque semaine il forme une communaut? en province, qui se d?fait d?s le d?but de la semaine suivante ? Paris, puis se recompose au bord de la Marne, le week end revenu... c'est un rythme d?cal? pour accro?tre le monde, entre deux fa?ons d'exister ensemble en province et plus individuellement ? Paris, une conception musicale du flux de la vie. Le groupe pr?sente cette caract?ristique d'?tre une synergie qui ne s'endoctrine pas elle-m?me d'une revue enseigne, c'est un activisme informel du temps r?el de vivre et de cr?er ; son impact critique dans la production litt?raire a vocation dans l'?dition et la soci?t? environnantes et de les inspirer dialectiquement, sans d?roger sur le radicalisme social. Ce n'est pas dans ce sens une avant-garde politique (supposant le parti pour la prise du pouvoir, ou une division des groupes, comme le seront les avant gardes suivantes). Mouvement litt?raire en pr?sence sociale dans la vie culturelle et ses media, action po?tique de se donner une tranche de vie non conformiste partag?e, inform?e par les rencontres, et plus largement immerg?e. Mouvement du groupe parmi les groupes, dont la virtualit? intellectuelle et la diversit? sensible peuvent ?tre consid?r?es, par son dynamisme ouvert et non repr?sent? (tout le contraire du surr?alisme sous le leadership de Breton) et l'impact de son interf?rence dans la soci?t?, pr?dictible des r?seaux sociaux sur Internet, apr?s les avant-gardes historiques. Marguerite Audoux est bien plac?e pour ?voquer la sensibilit? de son camarade d'?criture, dans le large hommage rendu par la NRF... Tous les deux tiennent un nom civil impossible, lui Louis Philippe, elle Marguerite Donquichote. Elle originaire du Cher, lui originaire de l'Allier, o? chacun conna?t sa condition de la mis?re pour commencer dans la vie et l?, on ne va pas tenir la comptabilit? de la pauvret? mais informer tout de m?me le d?nuement particulier de Marguerite, qui cumule la grande pauvret? et l'orphelinat (sa m?re morte en couche d'h?morragie ou de fi?vre puerp?rale et son p?re devenu alcoolique par d?sespoir), puis d'?tre plac?e dans une ferme au lieu de poursuivre l'?cole (seize ans s?parent sa naissance de l'institution de l'?cole publique obligatoire en France) ; sans compter ensuite les affres de la libre sexualit? f?minine du petit peuple, en un temps o? la contraception n'est pas accessible et l'avortement particuli?rement dangereux. Lui, au moins, fait partie de la g?n?ration de la scolarisation gratuite obligatoire, dont sa date de naissance ne le s?pare de la fondation que de quatre ans, ?cole primaire r?ussie donc suivie d'?tudes secondaires puis sup?rieures comme boursier de l'?tat jusqu'aux classes pr?paratoires aux Grandes ?coles. Du c?t? d'Audoux, ce fut l'?preuve du travail manuel pour s'extraire du besoin. Chacun malgr? tout a re?u un moment de tendresse durant son enfance qui lui permet ne pas se sentir vaincu, et l'amour corps et ?me tiendra une place importante dans leur libert? respective... Leur filiation sociale, celle de la pauvret?, est rare dans le milieu parisien litt?raire contemporain, tout le contraire du fortun? Val?ry Larbaud, le grand ami lettr? de Charles-Louis Philippe qui ?coute ses conseils ?ditoriaux et qui deviendra plus pr?cis?ment l'ami de Fargue apr?s 1907. L'aide de Fargue deviendra pr?cieuse pour Larbaud, lorsque qu'? Vichy celui-ci deviendra paralys? puis aphasique (au milieu des ann?es 30). Curieusement, L?on-Paul Fargue ? son tour sera frapp? d'h?mipl?gie ? la fin de sa vie, mais moins afflig? que Val?ry Larbaud il pourra poursuivre d'?crire. L'?vidence du style, qui construit le r?cit de l'int?gration des ?migr?s provinciaux dans la soci?t? de la capitale, se caract?rise par un d?pouillement existentiel. On peut penser ? un film comme " L'Aurore " de Murnau, dont le lyrisme permet d'approcher la modernit? sociale de ces ouvrages, ou des livres comme " En joue " de Philippe Soupault (1925), ou " Mes amis " (1924) d'Emmanuel Bove, dont le r?alisme d?sertique est peut-?tre pr?dit par la contraction de la po?sie et du roman, tels qu'ils ressortent des textes des membres du groupe de Carnetin. Du moins L?on-Paul Fargue qui ne cr??e pas pendant ces ann?es mais ?crit des critiques et poursuit d'entreprendre les relations qui le m?neront ? d'autres cr?ations de groupes et de revues (il fondera Commerce avec Val?ry Larbaud et Paul Val?ry, en 1924 mais d?j? datant d'un si?cle ?), se r?v?lera-t-il ensuite le d?tenteur de l'abstraction du roman et de la nouvelle, dans un r?alisme qui ?voque le parti pris des choses de Francis Ponge plut?t que l'entr?e du surr?alisme ou la continuation du symbolisme. Quant ? lui il restera une figure du radicalisme litt?raire au del? de la po?sie de " Tancr?de " qui l'y a superbement conduit, po?me par lequel il dit avoir choisi parmi ses affinit?s l'?criture par narcissisme, pour s?duire les femmes qui le destinaient par l? ? sa plus belle image. De l'amiti? entre ?crivains comme une recherche exp?rimentale et ?motionnelle de la cr?ation, dans la solidarit? des id?es ? plusieurs... Fargue, ? travers tous les autres mouvements qu'il contribuera d'innover plut?t que les suivre, comme Les Apaches de Paris, avec les musiciens contemporains qui ne veulent pas s'identifier ? une ?cole ou une avant-garde, lui qui avait commenc? par le salon du mardi chez Mallarm? et son enseignement au lyc?e et par Bergson ? Normale Sup et conna?t Marcel Proust. " Bubu de Montparnasse " (1901) est le premier roman publi? de Charles-Louis Philippe, au titre ?ponyme du nom du personnage principal, une petite gouape prox?n?te d'une jeune prostitu?e qui inspira l'auteur qui l'avait rencontr?e, Berthe M?t?nier, rencontre dont c'est en quelque sorte le r?cit fictionnel. Cette biofiction est l'ouvrage le plus connu de Charles-Louis Philippe. Marguerite Audoux ?voque Berthe M?t?nier dans son rapport d'existence r?el avec Charles-Louis Philippe, lui restant secourable, et elle ?voque d'autre part Marie Donadieu, femme ?galement aim?e succ?dant ? Berthe M?t?nier et qui inspirera ? son tour une oeuvre ?ponyme, en 1904. Puis elle t?moigne des derniers moments de l'auteur... Affirmer le soi de classe face au nationalisme bourgeois de celui qui vous a aid? ? vous nourrir, chez Charles-Louis Philippe, ne rel?ve pas de la dialectique du ma?tre et de l'esclave mais de la politesse populaire. M?me Barr?s, auquel le sinistre Maurras r?f?rera a donc admis du jeune ?crivain, au changement du si?cle, le radicalisme de l'alternative critique de classe, quand la capitale fran?aise est encore traumatis?e par l'?crasement sanglant de La Commune. Paradoxalement, Jules Ferry qui avait fui sous les accusations d'accabler de famine le peuple insurg?, est celui qui r?cup?rera les miettes jet?es en p?ture par les socialistes ? l'activisme la?que pour l'?cole publique, ? partir de 1879.

Time: 24-25.3.2010 10-17h Location: Auditorium, Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, Kaikukatu 4. Accessible for everyone and free entry Detailed schedule and more information: www.kuva.fi www.kilpiscope.net www.pixelache.fi Keynotes by Roy Ascott and Jill Scott The beginning of the 21st century is characterized by an overwhelming awareness of environmental issues. Facing the threat of global warming, the findings of scientific research have become a subject of intensive political debate. The ethical questions traditionally discussed in the green-wing marginals have become mainstream, as science has become a coffee-table topic. The field of art that interacts with the practices of science and its technologies is commonly referred to as ART&SCIENCE. During the past decades, this hybrid field has become more or less established, with landmark works, major institutions and written histories. However, with the new wave of environmentalism, a further wave of artists working with methods and questions related to scientific research has also emerged. The conference seeks to contextualize the practices of ART&SCIENCE both in the contemporary political atmosphere and the history of contemporary art. The first day of the two-day conference focuses on the practices in transformation as a result of research-orientation and cross-disciplinarity, characteristic to the field of ART&SCIENCE. The second day of the conference looks at the technologies of encounter between human and non-human worlds. The aim is to address the ethical discourse taking place in art practices which look at the interaction between humans and non-humans. Speakers include: Pau Alsina (researcher, ESP) Roy Ascott (artist, theorist, UK) Laura Beloff (artist, researcher, FI) Erich Berger (artist, coordinator ArsBioarctica, AUT/FI) Andy Gracie (artist, UK/ESP) Terike Haapoja (artist, FI) Eija Juurola (forest researcher, FI) Jan Kaila (artist, professor, FI) Tuija Kokkonen (theatre director, FI) Minna L?ngstr?m (artist, lecturer, FI Anu Osva (artist, FI) Ingeborg Reichle (art historian, DE) Antti Sajantila (professor, medical doctor, FI) Jill Scott (artist, researcher, AUS/CH) Helena Sederholm (professor, FI) Raitis Smits (artist, curator, LV) Ulla Taipale (curator, FI/ESP) Manu Tamminen (microbiologist, FI) Adam Zaretsky (artist, US) Contact Erich Berger Coordinator ArsBioarctica eb@randomseed.org http://kilpiscope.net Terike Haapoja Artist, Phd researcher mail@terikehaapoja.net http://kuva.fi ---------------------------------------------------- ART AND TECHNOSCIENCE - taiteen muuttuvat praktiikat Kansainv?linen konferenssi, j?rjest?j?n?

Tilaisuus on avoin yleis?lle. Vapaa p??sy. Konferenssiohjelma ja tarkemmat tiedot osoitteissa: www.kuva.fi www.kilpiscope.net www.pixelache.fi Keynotes: Roy Ascott ja Jill Scott 2000-luvun alkua leimaa ymp?rist?kysymysten voimallinen politisoituminen. Ilmastonmuutoksen edess? tieteellisest? tutkimuksesta on tullut poliittisen tarkastelun kohde ja kiihkeiden v?ittelyiden v?likappale. Perinteisesti vihre??n marginaaliin liitetyt aiheet ovat virranneet valtavirtaan, samalla kun tieteest? on tullut kahvip?yt?keskustelujen puheenaihe. Tieteen ja teknologian suhteita tarkasteleva, leimallisesti monialainen ja poikkitieteinen nykytaiteenalue otsikoidaan usein sananparilla ART&SCIENCE. Viime vuosikymmenten aikana t?m? perinteisi? genrerajoja ylitt?v? kentt? on vakiinnuttanut asemansa: merkkiteokset ja alan instituutiot ovat jo osa taiteen kirjoitettua historiaa. Ymp?rist?kysymysten politisoitumisen my?t? on kuitenkin noussut esiin uusi aalto tieteen ja sen teknologioiden parissa ty?skentelevi? taiteilijoita. Konferenssi pyrkii hahmottamaan art&science -kent?n praktiikoita sek? suhteessa ajankohtaisiin poliittisiin kysymyksiin, ett? nykytaiteen perinteisiin. Konferenssin ensimm?inen p?iv? keskittyy taiteen muuttuviin praktiikoihin tutkimuksellisuuden ja poikkitieteellisyyden seurauksena. Konferenssin toinen p?iv? tarkastelee ihmisen ja ei-inhimillisen suhteita m??ritt?vi? kohtaamisen teknologioita ja niit? eettisi? kysymyksi?, joita ihmisen ja ei-inhimillisen suhteita tieteen kehyksess? k?sittelev? taide nostaa esiin.

un encuentro inicial entre los artistas integrantes del proyecto con una estancia de veinte d?as en johannesburgo y richmond, que sirvi? tanto para la ejecuci?n de las primeras obras como de contacto y primer v?nculo. el proceso comprendi? el encuentro de los artistas en la zona del karoo, sus habitantes y su ubicaci?n a lo largo de la carretera nacional n1. los resultados de este encuentro fueron expuestos durante una presentaci?n en la fundaci?n nirox, con el apoyo de la embajada espa?ola. en 2009 prosiguen los talleres en valencia, con una duraci?n de dos semanas. de manera cerrada y s?lo entre los propios integrantes del proyecto, para avanzar en los pasos dados el a?o anterior y retomar el trabajo, siempre con la posibilidad de que la comunidad art?stica local participe en sus debates. de este segundo cap?tulo se ocup?

expuesto al p?blico en la fase final del proyecto entre los a?os 2010 y 2011. en las palmas de gran canaria habr? una jornada de exposici?n p?blica de la obra, el viernes 12 de marzo en el centro de arte la regenta, a las 20.30 horas, que se cerrar?

HTML Color Codes. Reviewed by Susan Ballard. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=383 Curated by Carolyn Kane for Rhizome.org September, 2009. The HTML Color Codes exhibition features a selection of internet based artwork that address the topic of digital color. The central question that the exhibition poses is whether or not artists working with the internet are in fact limited to a "ready-made" color palette, a premise that many artists working with film, photography, and mass produced, standardized paint sets have assumed. The rationale for this question stems from theories of perception that argue that color is a not ready-made object found in a paint set or machine, but rather it is an experience that results from a complex process of light interacting with the retina and human nervous system. Dr. Susan Ballard is a writer, curator, musician and artist who spends her time writing, thinking and teaching about contemporary digital and time-based installation art, sound and noise. Her current research investigates the contribution of artists to contemporary notions of utopia and the political and cultural implications of a materialist reading of media cultures in antipodean environments. Su is the Principal Lecturer in Electronic Arts at the Dunedin School of Art, in New Zealand. Her book The Aotearoa Digital Arts Reader was published in 2008.

The simple question if communication technology can help us to do something about the continuous growth of mobility reveals a world of complexity: Do these new technologies not lead to a dramatic increase of electro-magnetic pollution ("electrosmog" - think of the discussion around umts transmitters)? And isn't the desire for physical encounter actually heightened by all these new connections, leading to more travel instead of less? When is a remote experience rich enough so that a physical encounter is not always necessary? How do we design sustainable immobility? The format of the festival is an exploration of sustainable immobility in itself. As a collaborative project it is developed by a network of organisations and initiatives spread over more than ten countries and 5 continents. No one is allowed to travel and all connections are established on-line. ElectroSmog offers a diverse program with art projects by among others Bureau des Etudes, Karen Lancel en Hermen Maat, Costas Bissas, Esther Polak, Jon Cors and Kai-Oi Jay Yung, Sean Kerr, Kevin McCourt, live performances, screenings, book and project-presentations, and a series of live connected thematic discussions with participants from 5 continents, covering a time-difference of 20 hours. De Balie in Amsterdam is the initiator of the ElectroSmog festival and a central node in this extensive international network. The aim is locally to stage an intimate festival that links, reproduces and multiplies itself via the various participating locations. The festival can be followed on-line in its entirety, where audiences can actively contribute to discussions, follow live webcasts, or alternatively can participate via virtual theatres set up in second life. The ElectroSmog festival brings together a broad coalition of designers, environmentalists, urban and spatial planners, technologists, artists, theorists, and engaged and concerned citizens, to explore and ?design? sustainable immobility. www.electrosmogfestival.net ------------------------- High-lights from the festival program: HIGH-LIGHTS FROM THE FESTIVAL PROGRAM: The ElectroSmog festival-program is organised around a series of interlocking thematic programs, discussions and debates. www.electrosmogfestival.net/program/#themes Around this main program a host of satellite events is organised locally and translocally, including ?

Bureau d'Etudes: Electro-Magnetic Propaganda - the statement of industrial dogma www.electrosmogfestival.net/program/#electroprop A downloadable do-it-yourself exhibition. Locations: Amsterdam (exhibition) / on-line The art collective Bureau d'Etudes (Paris/Strasbourg) created an enigmatic mapping of the influence of electromagnetic waves on the biological body. This map is now transformed for the ElectroSmog festival into a downloadable exhibition to print out and display in your own locality. The exhibition and download URL will be launched at the start of the festival. ?Humanity has known electromagnetic waves for a century, but their massive use for technical applications only began with the Second World War. Since then, the density of electromagnetic radiation has doubled every four years, and electromagnetic pollution has been multiplied a hundredfold over the past thirty years. Medical and epidemiological research has accumulated over the past few decades showing the destructive effects of these fields on our organisms, affecting our health or even modifying our ways of apprehending the world.?

TeleTrust Participatory performance by Karen lancel & Hermen Maat www.electrosmogfestival.net/program/#teletrust Daily: 9.00 ? 11.00 & 20.00 ? 22.00 hrs CET (GMT+1) Venues: De Balie, Amsterdam / Banff Center for the Arts / Dunedin, New Zealand Artists Karen Lancel and Hermen Maat are conducting a series of networked performances in public spaces involving a wearable ?data-veil? that covers the entire body. The veil is touch sensitive allowing the wearer to trigger stories he/she can listen to inside the veil, while the audience observes the same stories on public screens and via the web. All stories are interviews conducted around the public performances with the TeleTrust veil, and centre on issues of trust and veiled presence in public space: ?Do I need to see your eyes in order to trust you?? How is trust established under veiled conditions? The project can also be seen as a metaphor for the hidden presence of people in digital networks, where ?the design of trust? (Nevejan) remains a highly problematic issue. The performance will be staged simultaneously in Banff, Canada, Dunedin, New Zealand and Amsterdam, The Netherlands ? covering a time-zone stretch of 20 hours. www.lancelmaat.nl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=128 ?

Hyper-mobility and the urban condition 16.00 ? 18.00 CET (GMT+1) Venues: De Balie, Amsterdam / Medialab Prado Madrid www.electrosmogfestival.net/program/#urbancondition Hyper-mobility poses a myriad of challenges for urban planners: How is urban planning responding to conditions of hyper-mobility? Are networking technologies playing a role in policies and actions? Can technology offer solutions in the urban zones most affected by the mobility catastrophe? With Bas Boorsma, Director, Internet Business Solutions Group at Cisco, on Connected Urban Development (CUD): www.connectedurbandevelopment.org Nerea Calvillo & Medialab Prado, Madrid In the air - a visualisation project which aims to make visible the microscopic and invisible agents of Madrid?s air (gases, particles, pollen, diseases, etc), to see how they perform, react and interact with the rest of the city. The project proposes a platform for individual and collective awareness and decision making, where the interpretation of results can be used for real time navigation through the city, opportunistic selection of locations according to their air conditions and a base for political action.? www.intheair.es Jean-Paul Close: Stad van Morgen (Tomorrow?s City) A network of profits and non-profits for sustainable renewal of urban conditions set up from the city of Eindhoven. www.stadvanmorgen.com Martijn de Waal, writer, researcher, curator and consultant based in Amsterdam, specialised in the relation between technology, media and society. www.themobilecity.nl ? City & country branding debate Discussion hosts: Merijn Oudenampsen & Ana M?ndez 21.00 ? 23.00 CET (GMT+1) Venues: De Balie, Amsterdam / Eyebeam, New York / Medialab Prado Madrid / ADA Network, New Zealand www.electrosmogfestival.net/program/#branding City and regional branding strategies contribute disproportionally to increased travel and mobility, both for touristic purposes as well as for professional travel and conference-mania. In a broader sense the critique of city branding addresses the question of whether it is a good idea to profile a cities as products (in an international market) instead of living environments for its inhabitants? Is an ecologically more responsible approach possible? Are cities and regions economically viable at all without effective branding and promotion strategies? With: Daniel van der Velden, designer and writer, Meta-haven, Brussels / Amsterdam www.metahaven.net Beka Economopoulos, Not An Alternative, New York Jason Jones, Not An Alternative, New York www.notanalternative.net Ana M?ndez, Observatorio Metropolitano, Madrid Isidro L?pez, Observatorio Metropolitano, Madrid www.observatoriometropolitano.org Eva Ramos L?pez, Town Planning and Housing Area, Madrid City Council Merijn Oudenampsen, Amsterdam Essay: On Dog Shit and Open Source Urbanism Damoclash, Amsterdam Invited responses from the ADA network, New Zealand Friday March 19 ? Deep local and remote technologies 10.00 ? 12.00 CET (GMT+1) Venues: ADA Network, New Zealand / De Balie, Amsterdam / Remote: Montr?al / Forres www.electrosmogfestival.net/program/#deeplocal What does it mean to become Deep Local (again)? How can we reconnect to the local, without giving up the rest of the world and without burning up the last remaining carbon-hydrates? Can we reconnect the remote by means of the new networking and communication technologies without ravaging the environment? Can traditional life-styles be accommodated with global connectivity?

Designing for (im)mobility Hosted by: John Thackara 13.00 ? 15.00 CET (GMT+1) Venues: De Balie Amsterdam / Land of NoR: Virtual World www.electrosmogfestival.net/program/#design ICT developers have been working on video communication since 1946 ? but the experience still ?sucks?. If massive amounts of bandwidth are not the answer, are there more artful ways to enhance remote communication? John Thackara discusses how they would approach it with game designers, theatre directors and artists. With: John Thackara, director of Doors of Perception an international network that tries to find new ways of designing information and communication technology (ICT).

Even though at the same time it slows down business opportunities. Thereby the system of filtering and blocking on line content is sophisticated. Both countries have a young population (50 ? 70% younger than 30 years) and lots of them want to connect with and have access to information. No surprise that circumvention tools are widely used. How can this politically induced slowness of networks be addressed in a discussion of global connectivity? In collaboration with Monique Doppert, Hivos, The Hague & Tactical Technology Collective (London).

Energy and information 10.00 ? 12.00 CET (GMT+1) Venues: ADA Network, New Zealand / RIXC, Riga / De Balie, Amsterdam www.electrosmogfestival.net/program/#energy Exploring the energetic implications of global communications. The most challenging direction of this debate revolves around the emergence of smart electricity grids that can monitor in detail actual energy use patterns and allocate peek capacities much more efficiently. Such smart grids raise important privacy concerns for individual customers, however. With the old idea of fusing energy and information infrastructures back on the table, these concerns increase exponentially. What are the trade-offs between sustainability and the necessary safeguards of the personal sphere? With: Julian Priest, artist and director of Green Bench, New Zealand http://greenbench.org Michiel Karskens, policy advisor on energy matters, Consumentenbond (national consumer association), The Netherlands.

ElectroSmog is Good for You! Exploring artists? engagements with the spectral ecology 13.00 ? 15.00 CET (GMT+1) Venues: RIXC, Riga / De Balie, Amsterdam / Remote: Strasbourg / ADA Network New Zealand This program brings together artists fascinated by the invisible and most ephemeral side of electronic media, the varying densities of the electro-magnetic spectrum. The program continues the discussion started at the RIXC?s Spectral Ecology event in 2007. Besides the exploration of the invisible and intangible, also critical environmental issues are addressed. How is the body, the brain and the nervous system affected by the increasing density of electromagnetic waves around us? Since the nervous system relies on electromagnetic energy flows there are certainly effects, but which? In many countries heated debates flared up in the past about the effects of new umts transmitters (high capacity mobile phone networks), and scandals erupted over transmitters fitted on apartment buildings, apparently making residents sick.

Food and global mobility Tracing the path of food to our kitchen-table 16.00 ? 18.00 CET (GMT+1) Venues: De Balie, Amsterdam / Skulpturenpark, Berlin / Remote: Barcelona www.electrosmogfestival.net/program/#food Join the on-line discussion on food and global mobility in the run up to the festival. www.electrosmogfestival.net/discussions/ What does food mean for us today? There is a growing understanding that food is not only a fuel to keep our bodies working, a source of pleasure, and for some also a source of income. It is also an important link between us and our environments, natural and social, local and global. More and more people are trying to rethink our relationships with the world through food and different forms of engagement with it. The issue of sustainability in the age of hyper-mobility is one of the most urgent ones. Should we reduce global food mobility and start buying more local products? But what then about farmers and communities in the developing countries for whom supplying us with fruits and vegetables is of great economic significance? What exactly would we like to know about the pre-shelf life of our food in order to make an informed responsible choice? How can we access this information? What alternative ideas for sustainable food strategies are out there? Is urban farming a promising way to reconnect to your food? And what does it actually mean ? ?sustainable food strategies?? This panel brings together people involved in practical and theoretical research related to sustainable food strategies. With: Tania Goryucheva, editor of the Food and Global Mobility theme, and co-founder of the Cool Mediators Foundation. www.coolmediators.net Artist Esther Polak will present findings from her project under development NomadicMILK http://nomadicmilk.net/?page_id=2 Ir.

Stephanie Hankey, co-founder of Tactical Tech, about 10Tactics: ?The project came about when we hosted an info-activism camp in India earlier this year. The event brought together more than 100 rights advocates, technologists and designers from around the world who we knew had really interesting stories to tell about how they had turned information into action using digital technologies. We decided to document and explore people?s stories throughout the camp. When we had finished we knew that what we had collected was pretty remarkable. Many of the stories highlighted ground-breaking use of the internet and digital technologies. They show what is possible for rights advocates to achieve now even with very few resources.? 10 tactics features 35 info-activism stories told from the point of view of advocates in 24 different countries including Lebanon, India, Tunisia, Egypt, Kenya, Indonesia, South Africa and the UK.

Urban Wilderness Amsterdam ElectroSmog goes Schijnheilig Venue: Schijnheilg, Amsterdam (note alternate venue: Schijnheilig!) www.electrosmogfestival.net/program/#wildamsterdam Amsterdam, a city once known as a happening place, is suffering from the bureaucratic drive to over regulate. In the nineties, an abundance of underground initiatives marked Amsterdam as a home of spontaneity and experimentation. Squatted cultural centres lined the waterfront, free radio stations populated the air waves. Due to sparked up property prices and an ever growing political pressure to formalise everything and anything, Amsterdam underground culture has dissipated. In stead of the metropolis it claims to be, it has become the village we all know it to be. Where one has little chance of running into the unexpected. As a necessary antidote, the closing event of the Amsterdam Electrosmog festival will take place in the squatted gallery Schijnheilig. There will be lectures on branding and public space, streamed guerilla gardening actions from around New York, London and Berlin, performances, ex-pirateers of radio 100 behind turntables, and much much more. Come along and play! Saturday March 20, 20.00 ? till late? (CET) www.schijnheilig.org WORKSHOPS www.electrosmogfestival.net/program/#workshops ? SkillShare on tools and models for online collaboration Venue: Eyebeam, New York Saturday, March 20, 2010 | 10AM ? 5PM (Eastern Standard Time / 16.00 ? 23.00 CET (GMT+1)) Free with RSVP Limit of 30 participants (in New York). http://eyebeam.org/events/electrosmog-skillshare-tools-and-models-for-online-collaboration On Saturday, March 20 Eyebeam will run a day-long series of presentations on tools and strategies for online creative collaboration. Eyebeam?s senior fellows will cover software solutions as well as practical and conceptual models for making and distributing collaborative work. This SkillShare was conceived as part of the ElectroSmog Festival, a new, three-day, international festival that will introduce and explore of concept of ?Sustainable Immobility?: a critique of current systems of hyper mobility of people and products in travel and transport, and their ecological unsustainability. ? Riverrun: A collective and experimental online artwork. Venue: Medialab Prado, Madrid Thursday, March 18, 18.00 - 20.00 CET (GMT+1) http://medialab-prado.es/article/electrosmog_festival Riverrun could be described as an emergent ?Exquisite Corpse.? It focuses on social interaction, with more than a hundred creators collaborating in the making of a collective story in real time. Each person participates, using their own computer (client), by writing a small part of the collective story which is housed in a central computer (server). Each participant is asked to log on to the project from their own computer for a short period of time (the duration of the experiment). These creative experiments can be performed in different languages and the story will be available online to the general public. The project of artist Kevin McCourt and theoretical physicist Bartolo Luque is executed as an open, participatory workshop during ElectroSmog, organised and hosted by the Medialab Prado, Madrid. ---- www.electrosmogfestival.net/program From info at transfera.es Mon Mar 15 20:35:54 2010 From: info at transfera.es (info@transfera.es) Date: Mon Mar 15 20:36:27 2010 Subject: [spectre] TRANSFERA #39 VIDEOART TV PROGRAM_MADATAC AUDIO-VISUAL ART FESTIVAL CALL Message-ID: <4B9E8C1A.80408@transfera.es> Dear followers, This Friday, December 19th at 21:00 PM and Saturday 20 at 09:00 AM Transfera, a tv space that broadcasts from Madrid by Canal Autor, returns again to keep awake the mysteries of contemporary audio-visual creation with the following program: VIDEOFORMANCE_You can access to the complete information at: http://www.transfera.es/programa39.html IRIS TENKINK FIGHTING OF THE SPIRITS (DUELO DE ESP?RITUS, 2008) SUGURU GOTO L'HOMME TRANSCEND?

[Heraclitus. Frag. 16] As a sequel to The White Visitation, conducted last year at the HMKV in Dortmund, WV2: Beyond the Zero / Poza zerem projects a further series of practical investigations within the realms of haunted media and psychogeophysics with particular attention to phenomena of light and revealing. WV2 actively traces an interface line between contemporary technology and a certain Breakthrough, the very shattering of a notion of the real which is both haunted and provoked by modern physics and the history of communication media (telegraph, radio). The popular disciplines of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena)/ EIP (Electronic Image Phenomena)/ITC (Instrumental Transcommunication), established by figures such as Konstantin Raudive, and Friedrich Jurgenson, articulate this fault line, providing for a clear examination of the relations of environment, modulation (signal, transmission), detection, measurement and interpretation within frameworks which reject notions of causality. Projected activities include the establishment of an overnight psychogeophysical measurement laboratory, repurposing of common media apparatus (tape recorder, television, video recorder) as scrying medium, psychogeophysical walk/fieldtrip, time axis manipulation and studies in light as a revealing. Applicants should be motivated with an active interest in the research field.

Hi there, Tonight some of the Furtherfield (www.furtherfield.org) crew, Ruth Catlow, Marc Garrett and Olga Panades, Jake Harries from Access Space (www.access-space.org/) will be at Dorkbot - talking about the Zero Dollar Laptop Workshops, and the project itself. The Zero Dollar Laptop Project aims to change the way we all think about technology. Workshops have been running in London since January 2010 with clients of St Mungo?s charity for homeless people. We are recycling hardware, breaking Windows and installing Free and Open Source Software to build media laptops and create music, graphics and video for distribution over the Internet. Participants will leave the project with street-smart technical knowledge and a wireless enabled media laptop, classier than any shiny power-book. The Zero Dollar Laptop is a recycled computer, running Free Open Source Software (FOSS) that is fast and effective- now and long into the future. http://www.furtherfield.org/zerodollarlaptop/ --------------------------------------- Also presenting at Dorkbot tonight is furtherfield's current artist in residence - Danja Vasiliev. http://www.http.uk.net/residencies/danja.shtml A Russian born computer artist currently living between Berlin and Rotterdam.

These presentation-and-discussion meetings aim to explore different forms of live visuals (live video, live film, live slide projection and their variations and combinations) and the different ways they can come into interaction with live audio. Each evening features two different live visual artists or groups of artists who each perform a set with the live sound artists of their choice. The presentations are followed by an informal discussion about the artists' practices over a cup of green tea. A third artist, from previous generations of visualists or related fields, is invited specifically to participate in this discussion so as to create a dialogue between current and past practices and provide different perspectives on the present and the future. Organized by Katherine Liberovskaya and Ursula Scherrer OptoSonic Tea is partly funded by the Experimental Television Center. The Experimental Television Center?s Presentation Funds program is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts. About the artists: Dan Conrad lives in Baltimore. In recent years he has been making ?light paintings?, configurations of automatic color-changing light behind a translucent screen. A collection of these works can be seen at www.chromaccord.net . Conrad?s statement for the Optosonic Tea: My interest in color sequencing began in 1968 when I read Josef Albers? Interaction of Color. In 1971 in San Francisco I built a color sculpture/light machine that changed color using multiple dimmers that were manipulated during a performance. This instrument evolved into the chromaccord color instrument built in 1999. I have performed the chromaccord with a variety of musicians, and silently. Compared to other senses, visual perception has remarkable latency properties that function in space and time. The chromaccord juxtaposes two or more areas of mutable color. At any moment lateral neural responses in the retina create simultaneous contrasts that are characteristic of each color juxtaposition. As colors are altered, afterimage effects cause sequential contrasts that are characteristic of the particular color change. The chromaccord is designed to elicit these visual latency effects, and it relies almost entirely on them for its expression. Jorge Martins, who was born in Portugal, has been living in Baltimore for three years, where he is active with several forms of music, from improvisation to composition. He describes his approach to performing with Dan Conrad on chromaccord as follows: I will play electric guitar in the style of Lizard Music, the music of a fat lizard in the summer lying on a hot stone, motionless listening. I listen and play after I listen. Listening usually takes me longer than playing. Lizard Music is chord-based without chord progression, away from constant sound. George O. Stadnik, Lumia Artist. "The science of light inspires my art. My curiosity, discovery, imagination, creativity and discipline transform the cool formulas and calculations of optical physics into a temporal reality of color, motion and emotion. My Lumia artworks are the result of experiments and inspirations across a wide range of media. My formal art education includes a BFA in Experimental Studios from Syracuse University in 1972. From 1976 through 1984, I built a Lumiagraphtm Studio in Worcester, MA. The studio was comprised of a 10' x 12' x 8' light-tight room - a sort of camera obscura. In it, I created still image compositions using discarded industrial optics - dichroic glass, lenses, diffraction gratings, liquids with optical properties. A variety of light sources - tungsten, halogen, laser and even sunlight and moonlight were used. With these simple elements, I created large format Lumia compositions that were recorded as direct, one of a kind, still images onto large sheets of CibaChrometm film. Lumiagraphstm were exhibited in Boston, New York and London. Today, they can be found in private and corporate collections around the world. My original inspiration for this lifetime of work was a Lumia composition, created by Thomas Wilfred called Opus 158, which I saw as an art student in 1968, at MOMA in New York City.The Visual Music of Digital Lumia and Synaesthesia - Digital Lumia owes its very existence to pure inspiration from seeing the work of the 20th Century artist Thomas Wilfred, who invented the art form of Lumia. Mr. Wilfred performed his compositions in Clavilux concerts and exhibited animated versions of his light sculptures, called Clavilux Juniors throughout the United States and Europe. His compositions were silent. They were intended to be experienced as visual music. Mr. Wilfred intended that his audiences interpret the imagery synaesthetically - what the eye saw in the composition, triggered the mind to create the complementary or contrasting sound, flavor, texture or feelings; there were no narratives, although Wilfred's pieces could evoke fantastic landscapes, futuristic cities, elegant gardens or the most primitive, primal moments. My work builds on this tradition and brings it into a contemporary cultural context to inspire and stimulate each viewer?s imagination to discover and create their own visions, stories and emotions within themselves. Digital Lumia is created using optical simulation algorithms and software to construct virtual optical machines. The elements within each machine are adjusted over time so that a visual sequence of changes in color, refraction, reflection and shadow is composed. The resulting sequence is tested with key frames, it is then rendered in one of several resolution and file formats for output and display. Digital Lumia Compositions are available as high resolution DVDs (movies), or high resolution, archival LightJet prints (still images)." For more information about the Art of Digital Lumia - contact: stadnik@erols.com or visit: http://www.photonlightguitars.com James Ross is a guitarist and composer living in Brooklyn, NY. Originally from the Pittsburgh, Pa., area, Mr. Ross has studied guitar at the University of Pittsburgh and the Mannes College of Music. He has written music for orchestral and chamber ensembles, electronic works, as well as solo music for the guitar and the zhongruan (a type of Chinese lute). His album ?Three Pieces,? a combination of environmental sounds, guitars, flutes, voices and electronic drones, can be heard at http://www.archive.org/details/nnm004 . He is currently studying North Indian classical music and composition with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela. Visit http://www.facebook.com/jrossmusic for updates on new recordings, performances and links to more music. Eric Rosenzveig is an artist who's collaborative work with Willy LeMaitre straddled the line between sound and image - performed media in the mid-'90's, then autonomous systems at the end of the decade and finally encompassing consumer electronics as artworks. He currently runs the Center for Audio-Visual Studies Department at FAMU, the National Film School in Prague, CZ. for more information about OptoSonic Tea please visit: http://www.diapasongallery.org/optosonic.html From gabriel.menotti at gmail.com Mon Mar 8 19:34:35 2010 From: gabriel.menotti at gmail.com (Gabriel Menotti) Date: Fri Mar 19 08:24:12 2010 Subject: [spectre] Call for Papers: "Besides the Screen: Moving Images during Distribution, Exhibition and Consumption" Message-ID: Sorry for the crosspost! Please help circulate. Thanks =) * * * Call for Papers ? "Besides the Screen: Moving Images during Distribution, Exhibition and Consumption" New media technologies impact cinema well beyond the screen; they also promote the reorganization of its logic of distribution, modes of consumption and viewing regimes. Once, it was video and television broadcast that disturbed traditional cinematographic experience, revealing the image as soon as it was captured and bringing it into the home of the audience. Nowadays, computer imaging and online networks cause an even stronger effect to the medium, increasing the public agency in the movie market dynamics. In order to understand how these significant changes in the modes of accessing and distributing moving images might affect cinematographic experience, economy and historiography, we are obliged to rethink not only of its future, but its past as well. Besides the Screen is a one-day international symposium that aims to map research projects on new and old forms of moving image distribution, exhibition and consumption. The conference will be hosted in Goldsmiths College (University of London) in November, with the support of the Goldsmiths Graduate School. We invite proposals for paper presentations in the form of 250-word abstracts, to be sent to the email besidesthescreen@gmail.com until June 11th 2010. The list of selected works will be published online at besidesthescreen.blogspot.com (under construction). Suggested topics / themes: ? Contemporary views of traditional exhibition venues ? Online video archives and directories (archive.org, youtube) ? Non-traditional distribution networks ? Peer-to-peer and filesharing ? Film & video piracy ? Transnational distribution ? Projection-based performances (vjing/ live cinema/ etc.) ? Market regulations (DVD distributions, release windows, ratings) ? Contemporary and historical film societies ? Non-commercial exhibition spaces (art galleries, outdoor screenings, etc.) ? Intersections between IPR, copyright & film distribution/exhibition.

M?rz 2010, jeweils 11-17 Uhr im Edith-Ru?-Haus f?r Medienkunst, Seminarraum "Kein Bild mehr ohne dass der Computer mitwirkte. Na ja, fast keines. Der Computer wirkt auch nur dann mit, wenn der Mensch mitwirkt. Eine Bewegung ist am Entstehen, die unter Begriffen wie "generatives Design" oder "generative Kunst" das Programmieren entdeckt. Mit der Programmiersprache "Processing" geht das (fast) spielend. Ihrer nehmen wir uns an. Eine neue Welt wird sich auftun..." Frieder Nake, K?nstler und Informatiker und einer der Pioniere, die bereits Mitte der 1960er Jahre auf den Computer zur Entwicklung von Kunst zur?ckgegriffen haben, bietet in diesem Workshop die M?glichkeit, in die Welt des Programmierens einzusteigen.

On one hand, it is a methodical articulation of the elusive idea of virtual space. On the other, it is a historical overview of works of architecture that were made specifically as the content of pictorial works of art. What brings these two seemingly distinct topics together is the realization that they are in fact complementary * that is, that researching one would provide answers for the other, and vice versa. As such, this study is a work of media theory as well as a work of architectural theory. Media Theory: A theory of virtual space. Presently, the terms *virtual* and *virtual space* are very loosely defined. With all their widespread use in both popular culture and academic discourse, what do these terms actually mean? Computer-generated? Online? Fictitious? Imagined? Metaphysical? In the absence of a consistent definition, confusion reigns supreme and *virtual* ends up being just an empty buzzword * meaning practically nothing at all. Therefore, rather than simply reiterating known technological, psychological, or philosophical concerns, this study approaches the topic as an architectural issue; it seeks to define virtuality in terms of the actual space that is perceived through visual media. It is a theoretical attempt at defining virtual space itself, in a lucid, down-to-earth, and systematic manner. The result is a comprehensive work which restores the connection between older art theories and new media phenomena, proposing a single coherent theory of the pictorial image. Architectural Theory: Architectural content in the pictorial arts. The history of architecture addresses mainly two forms of architecture: the physically built, and the wished-to-be-built. And yet, in addition to these two, there is a third form of architecture that has received very limited attention as such. This is the architecture that serves as the visible content of paintings, films, video games, and so on * architectural projects that were designed and intended from their outset to reside nowhere else but within a pictorial image. Through an analysis of a carefully-made selection of artworks spanning two millennia, this study is an introduction to the wealth and beauty of a largely overlooked branch of architectural creation. The result is both a valuable reference for the fields of art and architecture in general, and a theoretical foundation for the emerging fields of virtual architecture and virtual worlds. Through both its methodology and its contents, this study seamlessly combines architecture and media, along with the history and theory of art, film theory, digital imaging, and information design. By fusing them together, the book provides a fresh view on each of these fields and reveals the underlying principles that are common to all of them.

Make it! - Ghent boasts Belgium's first real public fabLab. It is part of the timelab. Anyone and everyone can come along to the Friday Open Lab Days to realize their very own designs. There is also scope for larger projects. For example, Lieven Standaert is working with timelab to make a 3-axis CNC table. Artists-in-residence - timelab invites artists from diverse backgrounds to take part in a residential programme. For some the link with technology is all-important; others prefer to start from a contemplative standpoint about. Nikolaus Gansterer will put in various appearances at the timelab during the course of 2010. Geert-Jan Hobijn (Staalplaat Soundsystem) will lead a project during a short, intensive residential programme in the fall in Ghent. fabCases and Talklabs - The fabCases examine the social relevance of technology and the fabLab/timelab. The fabCases are part of wider research into developing a methodology about the relationship between the fabLab and timelab and its environment. For the Talklabs, timelab invites not only artists but also stakeholders, policy and opinion-makers to debate themes which the workplace sets store by. It's all about the people - In addition to the numerous get-togethers in the fabLab and a series of training programmes, there is an annual summer camp, an intensive ten-day programme in the city for15 local and international artists. The 2010 edition runs from June 20th to 30th. Every month there is the international network meeting Dorkbot, "people doing strange things with electricity", where makers explain the technical aspects of their creations or research to a group of interested people. Finally, every year in early spring the timelab OPEN assesses the state of play. On the programme: 14 - 17.00 hrs fabLab workshop - 'how do I use the fabLab?' - Kurt Van Houtte presents the machines and demonstrates how they are used. 17 - 18.00 hrs The internet of things After the revolution of the internet comes the internet of things. Rob van Kranenburg gives a talk about how everything is now linked to everything else. >From 18.00 hrs Open Lab with documentation and continuous explanation about the different parts of timelab. 19.00 hrs Presentation of timelab by Evi Swinnen Word from the Chairman Chantal De Smet.

We are looking for interesting new software art projects that can be developed in the period of June ? November 2010 through a shared residency. The new work developed during the residency will be presented in the Funware exhibition at MU in Eindhoven, at HMKV in Dortmund and as part of the Piksel festival 2010. This residency is a collaboration between three labs, based on a desire to investigate the ways and potential of working within a network of labs that support the exchange and sharing of resources and knowledge. The form of this collaboration aims to provide the most specific and relevant support to artists working on art and technology projects in residence. Knowing the capacities and competences of each lab/organisation, the residency exchange will offer targeted support (in the form of resources, space, technical support, local context and time) to be provided at different stages of the research and development of the project specific to each organisation. Off- and online dissemination of form and content via this partnership and the building of structural relationships are crucial to the collaboration. FUNWARE Funware, conceptualised by Olga Goriunova (runme.org), is an exhibition about the fun in software. Making and using what has become known as software is experimental, humorous, and eventful. However improbable it might sound for today?s all encompassing dullness of forms, databases, schedules and processors, ?fun? has informed and guided the development of software from its very inception. The rise of net art and the changes the Internet and desktop computers brought to culture gave rise to software art at the turn of the millennia. Performed by amateurs, artists, alternative coders or professional programmers for ?fun?, software art as an aesthetic practice questions, tangles and experiments with the materiality of software has subsequently lost its visibility again, as attention is turned to the social web and software applications for third generation mobile phones, which all harness some of the energies constitutive of aesthetic software. Funware reflects on the history of engagement with software, that demonstrates its non-industrial, non-professional, non-commercial, or non-academic character. The exhibition demonstrates the trajectory of humour and affect as constitutional to software and computing. The exhibition aims to make such an ?obscure? technological object as software, open, palpable and approachable, bridging a gap between ?serious? production such as technology and ?non-serious? production such as different forms of art. The exhibition has a few distinct threads: games; ASCII; code art; a few vectors of AI; computers in popular culture; spyware, conceptual software, hardware modification, hacker/virus approaches, sound, software modification, pranks, participatory web. And as software is intertwined with the hardware it runs upon and the networks that construct the society in which it rules, the exhibition features a lot of projects dealing explicitly with computer hardware or the materiality of hardwareas well as engaging projects experimenting with sound. We offer: - Residency period at each of the different labs (residency time at location will be project dependent) in the period of June ? November 2010. Specific dates at each location are to be determined in collaboration with the selected artist. - Artist(s) fee. - Production budget (including support of travel and accommodation, accommodation is not provided for in Amsterdam). - Presentation of the project in the Funware exhibition in Eindhoven (MU) and Dortmund (HMKV). - Public presentation of the results of the artist?s research at BALTAN Laboratories, NIMk and Piksel; - Support for the documentation of the research and final work, and dissemination of this documentation. Requirements: - Proposals are welcome from professional artists worldwide; - The concept should fit within the theme of the exhibition Funware, in which it will be presented; - The work should be created using free/open source software; - The artist should have experience working in collaborative settings with people from different disciplines; - The artist must be willing and able to travel to Eindhoven, Amsterdam and Bergen for residency periods (exact dates and period will be made in accordance with the artist); - The artist must be willing to openly and thoroughly document the artistic process. What are we looking for: - Outline of the concept underlying the work that you wish to develop (200 words max). - General outline of the scope of the final work (200 words max ? please include visual sketches). - Outline of the research and development plan for the work (250 words max) - Motivation for why you would like to work in the context of this particular residency as well as an overview of your interest in the technologies mentioned above (250 words max). - Indication of your planning divided between the three labs, i.e. what would you like to develop where. - Up-to-date CV including links to previous work. Please send your submission to call@nimk.nl Deadline for submission is Friday 23 April 2010. The candidate is chosen by representatives from the three partner organisations. Applicants will be informed by May 10th. ABOUT THE DIFFERENT VENUES Netherlands Media Art Institute (Amsterdam, NL) http://www.nimk.nl The Artist in Residence (AiR) programme at the Netherlands Media Art Institute supports the exploration and development of new work in digital/interactive/network media and technology based arts practice. The residency provides time and resources to artists in a supportive environment to facilitate the creation of new work that is produced from an open source perspective. We encourage a cross disciplinary and experimental approach. This is a practice based residency designed to enable the development and completion of a new work. The Netherlands Media Art Institute offers an open environment with technical assistance and an active advisory board which will give feedback and support in technical, conceptual and presentation issues. There is access to studio and exhibition equipment, technical support from the Institute's staff and production help from interns. We expect the artist to have knowledge and insight in the technical realisation of the concept. BALTAN Laboratories (Eindhoven, NL) http://www.baltanlaboratories.org BALTAN Laboratories initiates, supports and disseminates innovative research and development activities in the field of art, technology and culture. A two-year pilot initiative located in a space of 500 m2 at Strijp S in Eindhoven, it is a first step towards a broader Art Science Lab in the former NatLab (Philips physics laboratory). BALTAN is a laboratory in-the-making that aims to ?do things differently?, providing space, a critical framework and support for artistic research into technological culture. The pilot phase is intended to develop a radical and sustainable identity for the laboratory of the future in relation to the current state of technological art and culture, and the total context of BALTAN Laboratories (including its local context, history and peers). The Funware residency exchange with NIMk and Piksel in 2010 is an integral part of this research. BALTAN offers an open and flexible residency context in which we dialogue closely with the artist throughout the development of their project. Interaction with other research projects being undertaken at BALTAN is key to all residencies at BALTAN. We provide support for documenting, disseminating and reflecting on the research process and results of the residency, and offer a unique local context in which to work. BALTAN?s core team includes four artistic advisors: Marc Maurer (Maurer United Architects), Geert Mul, Gideon Kiers and Lucas van der Velden (Telcosystems). Piksel (Bergen, Norway) http://www.piksel.no/ Piksel is an annual event for artists and developers working with free and open source software, hardware and art. Part workshop, part festival, it is organised in Bergen, Norway, and involves participants from more than a dozen countries exchanging ideas, coding, presenting art and software projects, doing workshops, performances and discussions on the aesthetics and politics of free and open source software. The development, and therefore use, of digital technology today is mainly controlled by multinational corporations. Despite the prospects of technology expanding the means of artistic expression, the commercial demands of the software industries severely limit them instead. Piksel is focusing on the open source movement as a strategy for regaining artistic control of the technology, but also a means to bring attention to the close connections between art, politics, technology and economy.

The exact investigations (they claim that they are multiple) under way have yet to be clarified by UCOP or other UC entities, but in the interviews thus far, TBT members have been questioned about the usage of the funds and the originality of the project. The investigation has ?arrested? TBT?s developmental process and core research matrix. - Indeed, due to widespread media coverage of the Transborder Immigrant Tool members of bang.lab and EDT also have been receiving copious hateful email and paper letters, some including threats of physical violence and murder [http://bang.calit2.net/xborderblog/?page_id=193]. Beyond the racist, xenophobic, classist, misogynist, homophobic and transphobic ?excitable speech? of the threats, the gendered nature of these hyperbolic responses has been as clear as the correspondence received in recent weeks by national representatives who voted for health care legislation or federal justices charged with representing those accused of terrorist acts. - On March 2nd, http://Markyudof.com publicly declared the resignation of UCOP Mark Yudof in a gesture of minor simulation to encourage the imagining of other possible futures. On March 21st, bang.lab received notice that a faculty member at UC Riverside was being investigated in relation to this action. - On March 4th, http://bang.calit2.net hosted a virtual sit-in against the UCOP website, providing a space for many people concerned with public education to embody their dissent online. As a result, UCSD IT Security shut down our server's access to the Internet for eight days. After that, we were informed that an investigation by the Senior Vice Chancellor (SVC) was begun by the UCOP of Ricardo Dominguez seeking criminal charges for the virtual sit-in, despite the legal precedent that a virtual sit-in is political speech, not a DDOS attack. This investigation has been framed by SVC as potential reason to end Professor Dominguez's tenure. We feel that these events indicate a number of troubling trends within the current transnational struggle for education (and more equal distribution of resources, more generally speaking!): - A complete disregard for our academic freedom as researchers engaging in trajectories of art, literature and technology research that the Visuals Arts Department and CALIT2 consider to be extremely valuable, and for which Professor Dominguez earned tenure for. -The use of bureaucracy as a weapon, to prevent our research from continuing by bogging us down in endless meetings with accountants and investigations. - The criminalization of dissent: across the UC system and the world on March 4th people engaged in actions, including civil disobedience, to try to restore public education, stop the budget cuts and work towards a better future for education. We are among hundreds of people facing charges for engaging in dissent from the very institutions that claim to foster independent thinking. While we feel that poetry, walking art and queer technology cannot be quantified, ?spread-sheet Excel-ed,? we in the bang lab harbor our own concerns for the lack of accountability that enables the UC system to continue transforming a public university for the state of California into a private corporation, accessible to a select few. That same selective lack of accountability fails to count the number of deaths tragically occurring because of international borders. To perform our own due diligence in the spirit of accounting for the here and now, we seek to ?queer the census?: if you feel that you are a part of the bang.lab or have participated in any of our activities in mind, body, spirit (in real or virtual timespace), get up, stand up, sign your name in a comment at: http://bang.calit2.net/2010/03/bang-lab-edt-update-call-for-accountability-and-the-criminalization-of-research/ -- micha c?rdenas / azdel slade Lecturer, Visual Arts Department, University of California, San Diego Artist/Researcher, Experimental Game Lab, http://experimentalgamelab.net Calit2 Researcher, http://bang.calit2.net blog: http://transreal.org From julian.percy at gmx.de Tue Mar 30 11:32:50 2010 From: julian.percy at gmx.de (julian percy) Date: Tue Mar 30 11:33:37 2010 Subject: [spectre] Ryan Jordan D.i.Y Stroboscopic Goggles and Synth Building Workshop. @NK Berlin Message-ID: <20100330093250.108290@gmx.net> WORKSHOP | 15/04/2010 Ryan Jordan D.i.Y Stroboscopic Goggles and Synth Building Workshop.

During the practical process of baking, the workshop leaders and participants will discuss the necessity of having physical production in local communities. Participants will experience how working together to produce food with their own hands fosters a feeling of being part of the world and ultimately creates a sense of the importance of finding ways to live that diffuse power as much as possible.

'Intimacy White' (2009), the first dress in the series, is made out of smart foil that becomes transparent when electrified. The distance of a spectator to the dress determines the level of transparency. This first dress received a lot of media attention and is considered highly successful. V2_Lab and Daan Roosegaarde now intend to make a series of 'Intimacy' dresses, each playing with a different material to create a sensual play of shared control. 1. 'Intimacy Lotus' is a new heat-sensitive material by Studio Roosegaarde, responding and physically moving to the subtlest amount of warmth. We invite one designer to create a new interactive dress with the Lotus foil. 2. 'Intimacy Black' is the dark sister of 'Intimacy White'. We invite one designer to create accessories with the black foil that become transparent when electrified. Daan Roosegaarde says: ?Technology is used here not merely functional but also as a tool to create intimacy as well as privacy on a direct, personal level ... which in our contemporary tech society is becoming increasingly important.? In order to take this step from one dress to a series of fashion items, V2_Lab and Daan Roosegaarde are looking for: ? Recently graduated or senior year fashion designers (M/F); ? He or she must be able to participate in thought process along the lines set out by V2_Lab and Studio Roosegaarde in the preliminary stages and therefore must be a good team player; ? He or she must be ambitious and determined to achieve our request for success; ? The project starts on 1 May 2010. It is a full-time position for a period of 8 weeks. What we offer: ? Access to functioning new technology, an existing prototype and an artist' Impression of the intended final product; ? A workplace at V2_Lab; ? The opportunity to collaborate with an experienced, interdisciplinary team; ? Technical support and backup; ? Exhibition of the end result; ? Name credit. Please send your resume/portfolio and motivation before 15 April, preferably by email, to piem@v2.nl V2_Institute for the Unstable Media Attn. Piem Wirtz Eendrachtsstraat 10 3012 XL Rotterdam Eligible designers will be invited for an interview end of April.

Theory and Practice of Art PORTO, PORTUGAL, MAY 10-14, 2010 - REGISTRATION NOW OPEN http://unneeded.fba.up.pt The first edition of the international conference ?UNNEEDED CONVERSATIONS ? Theory and Practice of Art? will be held in May 2010 in the city of Porto, Portugal. Organized by the Faculty of Fine Arts of University of Porto (FBAUP), this conference aims at establishing an intellectual platform to discuss fluidity of contemporary art practice through a series of interdisciplinary interventions. Held in school of arts, UNNEEDED CONVERSATIONS is also meant at being a connection axis between different contexts by interconnecting and mixing different forms and approaches. The 2010 edition of UNNEEDED CONVERSATIONS will have three main topics for debate ? UNTANGLE: The Future Past of Media Art; UNSUSPICIOUS: The Politics of Aesthetics; UNCUT: Time-Based Art ? which are at the core of today?s problems of art practice. At the same time, those topics will also be addressed so that they will contribute to the conceptual definition of the recent multimedia/ intermedia branch in FBAUP courses. The conferences will be held in an old cinema of Porto city center (Cinema Passos Manuel), which is only a five minute walk from the Faculty of Fine Arts, and they will be divided into two categories: Talks and Conversations. The first ones ? a more conventional format ? will take place in the afternoon, and Conversations ? a more hybrid format ? will take place in the evening. A simultaneous program will include exhibitions, workshops, screenings or concerts in different places in the city center and at the Faculty of Fine Arts. After the conference a book will be published ? UNNEEDED TEXTS / Vol. one ? including both the papers presented and further relevant documentation on the event. A call for papers to be included in this book is now open. Papers will be blind-peer reviewed by a panel of international referees. The book will be fully published in English in print and electronic format. ============ More info: ============ http://unneeded.fba.up.pt Cordination: Fernando Jos?
