Interactíves? - call for proposals
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Call for proposals Project development and production advanced workshop Deadline 31 March (soon!) Workshops April 18th-30th. http://www.medialabmadrid.org/medialab/medialab.php?l=0&a=a&i=472 The purpose of the call is a selection of a maximum of 10 projects of digital and sound art, critical design, educational applications, etc. for their collaborative production in an advanced workshop from the 18th to the 30th of April 2006. Directed by: David Cuartielles, Zachary Lieberman, Casey Reas, and Hans-Christoph Steiner. The medialabmadrid programme of the Conde Duque Cultural Centre issues a call for projects to be produced within the Interactives? event during the months of April and May 2006. Interactives? proposes a transformation of the exhibition venue into a space for production, meeting, and debate. The workshop focuses on hacking - hacking via open hardware, open software and programming - in order to create new forms and modes of expression. The programme invites a distinguished group of developers to work side by side with participants on advanced projects. What ties this invited group together are their involvements in open (hardware / software) projects which facilitate the creative process and their commitment to education and the advancement of work in the field. At the centre of this endeavour is an investigation of the meaning of interactivity, on a conceptual, technological, and social level. Interactives? Objectives - To deepen the use of electronic and programming tools for artists and designers. - To promote the collaborative production of digital and sound art, critical design, educational applications, etc., which use interactive technologies and are inscribed within the philosophy of open hardware and free software. - To create local synergies among different agents for long-term projects. Other Objectives: - To dynamise the exhibition venue as a space for production, debate and communication. - To explore the confluence between artistic, educational and technological practice. - To demystify the technological through its direct use and understanding. - To spread knowledge through the use of open and free tools. - To turn the exhibition venue into a meeting place for different institutions, collectives and individuals (universities, wireless communities, social and art collectives etc.). - To critically review the production forms of cultural administration and to propose a productive re-distribution of resources. ________________________________________________________________________ ____ "The arc of history bends towards justice." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Pure Data workshop + "resonanCITY" live cinema performance: Portland OR USA March 28,29,30
by derek holzer 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Pure Data workshop + "resonanCITY" live cinema performance Apotheke Portland Oregon USA March 28,29,30 Apotheke is hosting a multi-faceted audio/video event at the end of this month. 1) "resonanCITY" live cinema performance Tuesday March 28, 9 pm + 2) Pure Data Workshop for Sound and Vision Wednesday March 29 - Thursday March 30, 1-5 pm Details>> 1) "resonanCITY" live cinema performance Tuesday March 28, 9 pm resonanCITY is a live cinema performance by Sara Kolster (NL, 1978) and Derek Holzer (USA, 1972). It has been performed live in the USA, Canada, Holland, Brazil, Poland, Serbia, the Baltic States and at the Transmediale 05 festival in Berlin. Their Portland date is part of a limited North American engagement. Both Sara and Derek find inspiration in the history of experimental cinema and electroacoustic music, as well as in contemporary video and microsound practices, and a variety of live sources such as photographic film and found objects are used to generate the visions and sounds. Kolster and Holzer also reject the use of common, commercial production methods and the default, commercial artworks that these methods often produce, preferring instead to program their own software, build their own hardware interfaces and actively participate in the free and open source communities which surround these activities.They also explore contemporary ideas about "Live Cinema" and demonstrate the principles and tools explained during their Pure Data workshops. This evening will also feature improvisational audio and video from local artists Zachary Reno, Seth Nehil, and Rob Tyler, among others. Cost is $5 at the door, starts around 9pm. 2) Pure Data Workshop for Sound and Vision Wednesday March 29 - Thursday March 30, 1-5 pm A workshop on Pure Data, GEM and PDP for sound and video artists. Pure Data is a free and open source software, a modular and object-oriented programming environment geared towards manipulation and synthesis of both audio and video. It is similar to the commercial package "Max/MSP" , and can be used on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows. Participants will learn the basic "grammar" and "vocabulary" of Pure Data, GEM and PDP, upon which objects for sound, 3D and video will be added. Emphasis will be placed on direct connections between sound and image through three different methods: influence of sound on image, influence of image on sound and the use of common "control data" for both image and sound. The workshop spans two days, and is geared as a ground-up introduction and interface between the programming environment and artist. Attendance of the first day is a prerequisite for the second day, since information and concepts introduced in the beginning of the workshop will be used later on. Students will also be required to bring their own computer, however PD software will be provided, for either Linux, Mac OS 10.3/4 or Windows. (With the exception of PDP, which is not available for Windows.) The workshop starts at 1pm each day, and should last about four hours. Registration costs $75, or $50 with a Student ID. You can sign up at Apotheke, payment will be required to hold a spot. Sign up early, as space is limited. Full schedule info is tagged to the end of this release, and can also be found at the venue's website, http://www.apotheke-nw.com. - More information on both of these events, and about some of the artists involved, can be found on these websites: http://www.umatic.nl http://www.sarako.net http://www.onomato.org http://sethnehil.artdocuments.org/ http://www.vcr100.com Thanks! Hope to see you there. Apotheke 1314 NW Glisan St., #2a . 503.241.7866 www.apotheke-nw.com ****** Workshop Schedule >> DAY ONE: BASICS & AUDIO Installation Clinic. The first part of the workshop will be devoted to installing Pure Data, GEM, PDP and several other externals on the participants' computers. For PD and GEM, Mac OSX, Windows and most Linux distributions can be accommodated. Please note that PDP is NOT available for Windows, and only runs on Linux or OSX 10.3/4! Pure Data as a Language. Like learning any new language, PD starts with learning vocabulary and grammar. In this case, we will learn the names of many common objects and the syntax of how to use them, in a clear "Geek-to-English" translation which makes the complex data-flow operations of PD understandable to non-programmers. Pure Data for Sound Synthesis. PD has powerful signal-processing abilities, and we will explore these by building a simple, monophonic synthesizer controllable from either a MIDI device or from the keyboard of your computer. Different types of sound synthesis, such as Additive, Subtractive, Amplitude Modulation, Frequency Modulation and Wavetable Synthesis will be covered, along with the use of filters and delays for a variety of effects. Pure Data for Sample Manipulation. Because PD uses a range of very basic building-blocks to store and playback sampled sound, a wide range of manipulations are possible. Here, we will explore pitchshifting, time stretching, looping and basic granular synthesis. Other uses of data stored in tables for control purposes will also be touched on. DAY TWO: VIDEO & CROSS-SYNTHESIS. Pure Data for 3D: GEM. GEM is an external library used in PD for moving 3D graphics under the OpenGL protocol. It is also an ideal environment for VJ mixing. We will explore how to create and manipulate simple 3D objects, how to texture them with images, how to playback and mix video clips in GEM and how to use a live camera input. Pure Data for Video: PDP. PDP (Pure Data Packet) is used primarily for video playback and effects filters. We will investigate PDP for direct video synthesis, for the playback and mixing of (audio)visual clips and for the processing of a live camera input. PDP includes several tools for the analysis of video for movement, change and color, which in turn can be used to control sound playback and other events in PD. Pure Data for Audio Analysis. We continue our investigation of the audio side of Pure Data by looking at different methods of analyzing sound signals for pitch and amplitude information. The data we extract from the audio can be used to either (re)synthesize new sounds or to control 3D or video graphics manipulations. Pure Data for Cross-Synthesis. Combining what we have learned so far about sound and image in PD, we'll explore the interrelation of sound and image in three ways: the analysis of sound to control video (PD-->GEM/PDP), the analysis of video to control sound (PDP-->PD) and the use of data to simultaneously control sound and image (PD, GEM, PDP). -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ---Oblique Strategy # 73: "From nothing to more than nothing"

Vancouver BC: Derek Holzer & Sara Kolster @ Video In Studios
by derek holzer 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE UPCOMING EVENTS + EXHIBITIONS Sara Kolster and Derek Holzer visibleSOUND/audibleIMAGE * resonanCITY: performance Friday, March 10th, 2006 @ 8pm * SoundTransit.nl: presentation Sunday, March 12th, 2006 @ 2pm *visibleSOUND/audibleIMAGE: screening and lecture Thursday, March 16th, 2006 @ 8pm * Pure Data: workshop Saturday, March 18th & Sunday, March 19th, 2006 @ 11-4pm both days Video In Studios / Satellite Video Exchange Society 1969 Main Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada 604-872-8337 ext. 3, event(a)videoinstudios.com http://www.videoinstudios.com Hours of Operation: Monday thru Saturday 11am-6pm The term visibleSOUND/audibleIMAGE implies the equal relationship or balanced use of image and sound. Within this theme, visiting artists Sara Kolster and Derek Holzer explore the connections between experimental audiovisual culture using the Internet and open source software. Kolster and Holzer find inspiration in the history of experimental cinema and electroacoustic music, as well as contemporary video and microsound practices. Together they explore contemporary ideas about “Live Cinema” through the use of Pure Data, an open source tool for manipulating sound and image. Gathered from various locations around the world, sound and image manifest into dream like journeys through Kolster and Holzer's live performance and net.art projects. Visually, Kolster's work deconstructs the analog/digital dichotomy while similarly, Holzer's digital sound treatments highlight and enhance the phonographic sources he collects. Kolster and Holzer reject the use of common, commercial production methods and the default, commercial artworks that these methods often produce, preferring instead to program their own software, build their own hardware interfaces and actively participate in the free and open source communities which surround these activities. Traveling from the Netherlands, Kolster and Holzer will be performing, presenting and teaching their practice at Video In Studios, 1965 Main Street, Vancouver, BC, throughout the month of March 2006. 1. resonanCITY: performance Friday, March 10th, 2006 @ 8pm Live audiovisual performance Both Holzer and Kolster find inspiration in the history of experimental cinema and electro acoustic music, as well as in contemporary "live cinema", improv and microsound practices. Many sounds and images in our everyday lives slip past our notice simply because they are too small, or because we lack the proper receivers to pick them up. resonanCITY is an ongoing project to gather these microscopic sights and sounds from various cities, and to amplify and transform them. Their performance work centers around the use of photographic transparencies, found objects, field recordings and sparse instrumentals to create layers of interrelated sound and image. 2. SoundTransit.nl: presentation Sunday, March 12th, 2006 @ 2pm SoundTransit.nl is an online, collaborative soundscape project by Sara Kolster, Marc Boon and Derek Holzer dedicated to field recording and phonography. On this site, you can book a sonic transit through a wide range of different locations recorded from around the world, or you can search the database for specific sounds by keyword, artist, country or location. A presentation of this project can include an introduction to field recording and phonography, a discussion on the importance of open licenses such as Creative Commons, or a technical discussion of the structure of the website. 3. visibleSOUND/audibleIMAGE: screening and lecture Thursday, March 16th, 2006 @ 8pm This lecture and screening, made up of "historic" and contemporary works from the collection of Montevideo/Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst (Amsterdam), investigates the interrelation of what has often considered to be two separate disciplines: sound and image. Works shown will include: 1) Steina & Woody Vasulka: Violin Power [US][1978] 2) Steina & Woody Vasulka: BAD [US][1979] 3) Servaas: 4 Poems [NL][1981] 4) Matthew Schlanger: Lizard Hearts [US][1986] 5) Nicolas Provost: Papillon d'Amour [BE][2003] 6) Jan van Nuenen: SET_4 [NL][2003] 7) Bas van Koolwijk: five [NL][2002] 8) Derek Holzer & Sara Kolster: resonanCITY [NL] [2005] 4. Pure Data: workshop Saturday, March 18th & Sunday, March 19th, 2006 @ 11-4pm both days A two-day Pure-Data workshop based on Sara and Derek's working style. $60 for members, $95 for non-members Email event(a)videoinstudios.com to register. Classes have a limited capacity. Workshop Details: http://www.videoinstudios.com/programming_details.php About the Artists Sara Kolster [NL 1978] is a visual artist with a background in design. Recently, the focus of her work shifted more towards video and film; capturing details from urban locations, visualizing fragments of stories of these environments. She uses different strategies, from time-based media (video, film, photography) to appropriated research methods belonging to different observational disciplines (journalism, documentary & archeology). Derek Holzer [USA 1972] is a sound artist with a background in radio and streaming media technologies. His work has focused on capturing and transforming small, unnoticed sounds from various natural and urban locations, networked collaboration strategies, experiments in improvisational sound and on the use of free software such as Linux and Pure-Data. Their work resonanCITY has been performed live in the US, Holland, Brazil, former Yugoslavia, the Baltic States and at the Transmediale 05 festival in Berlin. resonanCITY also took the Second Prize at the 11th International WRO Media Art Biennale in Wroclaw, Poland in May 2005.
