Hey all,
I'll be giving a talk at the Culture Lab in Newcastle this week on
Thursday. I'll mostly be talking about the ideas behind the mapping
and hid libraries for Pd:

Hello list,
Our next exhibition at Imal (Bruxelles/Brussels).
If you are interested by the subject, you are welcome (and all is

ANTIDATAMINING, RYBN 2006-2009
http://www.antidatamining.net
Antidatamining est une série de représentations visuelles des données
financières qui transitent sur internet. L'économie contemporaine y
est incarnée par ses principaux acteurs - entreprises, place
boursières, banques et fonds d'investissement, grands groupes - et
par leurs interactions : liens capitalistiques entre les acteurs
économiques, déploiements géographiques, articulation autour des
places de marchés. Au-delà de la crise actuelle, de sa médiatisation
et des leviers politiques qu'elle génère, Antidatamining est un
dispositif de veille permanente qui tente de mettre en évidence la
structure de l'économie mondiale, envisagée comme un système
dynamique complexe.
Antidatamining is a series of visualizations of financial data
extracted from the web. Economy is represented by its main agents -
companies, groups and holdings, stock exchanges, banks and investment
funds - and their interactions : capital relationships, geographic
deployments, structuralization on market places. Beyond the current
crisis, its mediatic and polictic levers, Antidatamining is a
permanent monitoring device, which aims to highlight the structure of
the contemporary economy, seen as a complex dynamic system.

Hey, come join me in Liverpool at FACT and hack your iPod! It starts
tomorrow, its pretty last minute, we have dates, but the times aren't
ironed out yet.
Where: http://fact.co.uk/ in Liverpool, England
When: March 12th thru 17th (check the website for times)
Have an iPod you want to repurpose into a hackable music machine?
Install iPodLinux and make music with Pd! Want to play Doom on your
iPod Video? Come install Rockbox! Did your trusty iPod’s battery
finally die, or disk give in? Come and break open your iPod, either
the software, the hardware or both. Give it new life and new purpose.
Also, we have on hand our stash of old iPods for harvesting parts, and
the newfound skills for frankensteining dead iPods into living ones.
Join Hans-Christoph Steiner and Chris “the Widget” DiMauro with your
own iPod, or try your hand to see if you can create a living one from
our pile.
This workshop is a place to get exposed to the possibilities. We’ve
been hacking on some iPods to see what’s possible. Lots of this
software is kind of raw, but you can do lots of fun stuff now. We are
just getting started, we are having fun exploring the options. Now we
want to help you do the same.
Check out our web page to see if your devices are supported:

Access to computers should be unlimited and total. - the hacker ethic
This is quite last minute, so I am just emailed out about it now. At
the Art And Code conference at CMU in Pittsburgh, PA, I'll be giving a
talk about Pd on Sunday and a demo/workshop on Monday. You have to be
registered for the talk part, but I think that the demo on monday is
more or less open.

NEW MUSIC COMPILATION, NEW NETLABEL
Various Artists - Substrate (GOSUB10-001)
--
The new netlabel GOSUB10 today launches Substrate, its inaugural
release. A 12-track compilation of music from across the electronic
music genre, it features friends and family of the GOTO10 collective,
illustrating the strong networks by which the label will grow and
providing insight into future directions.
/Substrate/ features tracks by: Earweego, krgn, vacca, 0xA, Bazterrak,
Frank Barknecht, Yee-King, Soudo, Julian Brook, Martin Howse, Rob
Canning and Ultrageranium.
Dedicated to innovative music and audio/visuals, the GOSUB10 label will
feature an eclectic group of musicians drawn together by their shared
use of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS). Freely distributed by
stream, download and special DVD releases, and made available through an
open license, GOSUB10 is run by the GOTO10 collective, an international
group of artists, musicians and programmers, dedicated to FLOSS and
digital arts. Brought to life in a intensive three day work sprint, the
GOSUB10 netlabel is a natural extension of GOTO10's activities
supporting and promoting digital art alongside FLOSS tools through
workshops, festivals, exhibitions, writing, and more.

We would like to thank the Institute of Network Cultures
(http://networkcultures.org) for hosting us during this sprint and we
also want to thank the GISS team (http://giss.tv) who is providing the
streaming infrastucture of the GOSUB10 radio.

Taller de Algoritmia
Informática Aplicada a las Artes. Técnicas en programación
audiovisual con Pure Data y MaxMSP*.
Resumen:
La orientación del taller es la integración de conocimientos prácticos de
programación visual
para la formulación de micro-proyectos audiovisuales/acústicos/musicales
haciendo uso de la
herramienta Pure Data (Pd)*.
Durante cuatro sesiones se tratarán de forma representativa y práctica los
temas de
instalación, uso y dirección de la herramienta Pd al control lógico de
métodos básicos en audio y
video. Al integrar los métodos, los participantes deberán imaginar un cauce
de acción con la interfaz
lógica de Pd, para aplicar y formular alternativas en torno a las formas
disponibles para la
realización concreta en base a estructura, función y experiencia
acústico/visual. Todo esto se
resumirá en una obra que será debatida en grupo.
- Fecha: 9, 16, 23 y 30 de marzo.
- Horario: 16:00 a 17:30 hrs.
- Lugar: dōjō 道場. Valenzuela Castillo 1269-B, Providencia, Santiago.
- Información e Inscripciones: al correo algoritmia(a)labormedia.cl o al
teléfono (562) 880 54 76.

Sobre el expositor guía:
diego correa t. ha promovido una profunda curiosidad por las plataformas
que dan pie a proyectos relacionados con la concepción y experimentación
tanto en música y arte como en matemáticas. desde los inicios en 2003 del
trabajo en modelado de agentes con programación convexa, mientras era alumno
de economía, su interés por el uso de herramientas para el modelado
matemático se ha desarrollado. en 2004 en el Centro de Música y Tecnología
(CMT), actual Laboratorio Arcis de Informática Musical (LAIM), en santiago
de chile, se instruyó para el aprendizaje por medio de software libre en
interpretación musical y multimedial desarrollado en el instituto de
investigación y coordinación acústica/musical (IRCAM) de francia. entre el
2006 y el 2008 desempeñó labores de producción e investigación para el
Laboratorio de Medios de la Universidad Católica de Chile (MDLB UC), fundado
por el neurobiólogo y artista de medios de la Universidad de Nueva York
(NYU), José Miguel Tagle. desde entonces ha estado desarrollando modelos de
adaptación de herramientas digitales al uso en áreas no solo matemáticas y
acústico/musicales, sino también en economía, cibernética, inteligencia
artificial, neurociencia teórica y teoría de la información.
