Hi, here's a video by Reuters UK on RjDj that allows you to have a glimpse at how our shiny new offices in London look like (actually I haven't seen this floor myself yet. :) http://uk.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=113812&videoChannel=6 (Hint for the Linux-users like myself: I could only view this by downloading to referenced Flash video from http://videocdn.reuters.com/20091028/RCDOVE59R76R1F.FLV directly and playing it with mplayer) Ciao -- Frank

PD installation in Sewanee, Tennessee
by Greg Pond 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

There is currently a PD installation in our university's gallery in Sewanee Tennessee ( hometown of Miller Puckette) http://art.sewanee.edu/art/2009/10/21/nowcasting-reception-and-talk/ the press release is below. Greg Sewanee’s University Art Gallery presents Nowcasting, an installation created by the collaborative group TEH. It will be on view in the University Gallery from October 9 – November 22, 2009. There will be an artists’ talk and reception on Friday, October 23rd at 4:30 pm in Convocation Hall, immediately adjacent to the University Art Gallery. Visitors to Nowcasting will experience the building of a digitized storm in the confines of the gallery. Like TEH’s other works, this installation is intended to “challenge the senses through the use of simulation, and present weather/environment through mediated, virtual and physical processes.” Entering a gallery space transformed by sound, visitors will question the reality of what their senses tell them about the surrounding environment. TEH includes the artists Phillip Andrew Lewis, Adam Trowbridge and Jessica Westbrook. They named their collaboration TEH after a mistake commonly made when using a keyboard – typing “teh” instead of “the.” This name represents the group’s interest in how an actively participating audience can be a factor in the meaning of an artwork. Individuals have unintended and surprising effects on the messages they create and receive. This name also represents the group’s interest in the difficulties of communication. Messages are often scrambled, or mean different things to different people. Representations intended to simulate reality can never be exactly the same thing. TEH uses modern interactive technologies to create their installations, but is also interested in examining the impact and meaning of those technologies for their users. In a world where we are surrounded by televisions, wii games, computers and cell phones, how is our experience of that world changed? The group’s current focus is on the intersection of technology with weather and specific physical sites. In today’s world, we experience even something as essential as the weather mediated through technology. What are the implications if technology can fool our senses and convincingly simulate real physical experience? Phillip Andrew Lewis often explores the viewer’s navigation of mental and physical environments in his work. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Memphis, and his MFA from the Memphis College of Art. In 2005 Lewis established Medicine Factory, a contemporary art space in downtown Memphis, and has exhibited nationally and internationally. His professional awards include a 2009 Digital Art Commission from the Austin Peay State University New Media Program, a 2008 Tennessee Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship, and a 2008 Public Art Grant from the Urban Art Commission, Memphis. Lewis teaches Photography and Media Arts at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga. Adam Trowbridge uses a variety of approaches and media, including performance, video and computer-driven installations, to explore the connections, and the gaps, between what we experience and what we understand. Trowbridge received his MFA in Electronic Visualization / Responsive Art from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and his work has been featured nationally and internationally, including at the Anthology Film Archives in New York, and at the Square Eyes Festival in the Netherlands. Jessica Westbrook works with photography, video, language, and information design. In her work she explores subjective and often contradictory responses to anything from cultural artifacts to extreme situations. Westbrook received her MFA from the Tyler School of Art. In 2005 she established the artist’s collective SEED in Chattanooga, and has exhibited nationally and internationally. She has recently been featured in Static, the Journal of the London Consortium, and in Chicago’s artstorage.org. She teaches Photography and Graphic Design at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga. Sewanee’s University Art Gallery is located on Georgia Avenue on the campus of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. The gallery is free, accessible, and open to the public. Hours are 10 – 5 Tuesday through Friday and 12 – 4 on Saturday and Sunday. Please call (931) 598-1223 for more information, or visit our website at http://www.sewanee.edu/gallery .

pd-extended for ALT Linux
by Timur Batyrshin 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

I have built RPM of pd-extended (0.42.5 from SVN) for ALT Linux recently. It is available through standard apt-get/synaptic or from http://www.sisyphus.ru/en/srpm/Sisyphus/pd/get though I don't think it will work and even install on other distributions but ALT Linux. You can also check my git I build RPM from if interested: http://git.altlinux.org/people/erthad/packages/pd-extended.git
