<< FINE PIXELS >> BY RICARDO MBARKHO - OPENING MAY 15, 2012 @ 6 PM

FRENCH BELOW ================ RICARDO MBARKHO << FINE PIXELS >> OPENING: TUESDAY MAY 15, 2012 @ 6 pm Artist Talk starts @ 7 pm www.ricardombarkho.com at Galerie Mark Hachem - Beirut Monday - Saturday, 10 am - 7 pm Galerie Mark Hachem (Beirut) is proud to present “FINE PIXELS” by Lebanese artist RICARDO MBARKHO. The exhibition opens on Tuesday, 15 of May 2012 and will run until Tuesday, 29 of May 2012. The exhibition will showcase Ricardo Mbarkho’s images: The artist manipulates different layers of significations by investigating multiple questions related to language, communication, cultural industries, history of art as well as the visual representation within the sociopolitical sphere. Mbarkho’s images are made from texts. The artist uses the computer as a tool to transcend texts into images; the text's binary codes, those simple digits that computers use to stock information, are transposed into a unique corresponding visual. By this creative process, the shapes and colors of Ricardo Mbarkho’s art are constantly unveiling new facets of the initial texts. Ricardo Mbarkho’s work stems from the vibrant scene of today’s global digital art practices. Mbarkho divulges alternative readings to issues pertaining to his local cultural and sociopolitical environments, where the latter’s significance and information are embodied and channeled through the artist’s own flux. Galerie Mark Hachem invites the public to share the artist’s doubts and findings through Ricardo Mbarkho’s solo show, “Fine Pixels”. mark hachem I contemporary art gallery Capital Gardens Bldg. | Salloum St. | Mina el Hosn | Beirut Central District | Lebanon T +961 1 999313 | E beirut(a)markhachem.com | W www.markhachem.com | SKYPE beirut.markhachem FRANCAIS =========== RICARDO MBARKHO << FINE PIXELS >> VERNISSAGE LE 15 MAI 2012 A 18h Artist Talk à 19h www.ricardombarkho.com à la Galerie Mark Hachem - Beyrouth Lundi - Samedi, 10h - 19h La Galerie Mark Hachem (Beyrouth) a le plaisir de vous inviter au vernissage de “FINE PIXELS”, l’exposition de l’artiste libanais RICARDO MBARKHO, le mardi 15 mai 2012. L’exposition se poursuit jusqu’au mardi 29 mai 2012. Au programme, les images numériques de Ricardo Mbarkho: Le langage, la communication, les industries culturelles, l’histoire de l’art ou encore la représentation visuelle de l’espace sociopolitique, autant d’aspects que l’artiste met en exergue en manipulant moult strates de sens relatives à l’objet de son questionnement. A l’origine, il y’a un texte. L’artiste le prend tel quel, ou le compose dans l’optique particulière de l’œuvre finale. Puis il y’a l’ordinateur, outil de choix de Mbarkho, cet outil de mutation des textes initiaux en visuels. Des images uniques vont ainsi se révéler à chaque fois, images générées par les codes binaires de ces textes, codes qui ne sont autre que la simple unité de base dont l’ordinateur use pour stocker l’information. En phase avec les pratiques contemporaines de l’art numérique, l’œuvre de Ricardo Mbarkho propose une lecture renouvelée de l’environnement culturel et sociopolitique de l’artiste. Un momentum très particulier que nous livre Ricardo Mbarkho ; une transcendance, une sorte de mise à nu de textes, de leurs mots, de leurs sens. De ces textes, l’artiste ne retient que l’essentiel, la moelle substantifique. mark hachem I contemporary art gallery Imm.

CFP - 1st International Workshop on Musical Metacreation (MUME2012)
by Graeme McCaig 08 May '12

08 May '12

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ====================== ((( MUME 2012 ))) 1st International Workshop on Musical Metacreation http://www.metacreation.net/mume2012/ Held at the Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE'12) Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, USA October 9, 2012 ---------------------- Deadline for Paper and Demo Submissions: *** July 6, 2012 *** ====================== We are delighted to announce the 1st International Workshop on Musical Metacreation (MUME2012) to be held October 9, 2012, in conjunction with the Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE'12). Thanks to continued progress in artistic and scientific research, a new possibility is emerging in our musical relationship with technology: Generative Music or Musical Metacreation, the design and use of computer music systems which are "creative on their own". Metacreation involves using tools and techniques from artificial intelligence, artificial life, and machine learning, themselves often inspired by cognitive and life sciences. Musical Metacreation suggests exciting new opportunities to enter creative music making: discovery and exploration of novel musical styles and content, collaboration between human performers and creative software "partners", and design of systems in gaming and entertainment that dynamically generate or modify music. The workshop will bring together artists, practitioners and researchers interested in developing software and systems that autonomously (or interactively) recognize, learn, represent, complete, accompany, compose or interpret music. In particular, emphasis will be put on systems with real-time aspects, since these are relevant to both art and entertainment communities. Topics ====== We encourage paper and demo submissions on topics including the following: * Novel representations of musical information * Systems for autonomous or interactive music composition * Systems for automatic generation of expressive musical interpretation * Systems for learning or modelling music style and structure * Systems for intelligently remixing or recombining musical material * Advances or applications of AI, machine learning, and statistical techniques for musical purposes * Advances or applications of evolutionary computing or agent and multiagent-based systems for musical purposes * Computational models of human musical creativity * Techniques and systems for supporting human musical creativity * Online musical systems (i.e. systems with a real-time element) * Adaptive music in video games * Methodologies for, and studies reporting on, evaluation of musical metacreations * Emerging musical styles and approaches to music production and performance involving the use of AI systems Format and Submissions ====================== The workshop will be a one day event including: * Presentations of TECHNICAL PAPERS * Presentations of POSITION PAPERS relevant to Musical Metacreation and its future * Presentations of DEMONSTRATIONS * One or more PANEL SESSIONS (potential topics include international collaborations, evaluation methodologies, industry engagement, generative music in art vs. games) For complete details on attendance, submissions and formatting, please visit the workshop website: *** http://www.metacreation.net/mume2012/ *** Important Dates =============== Submission deadline: July 6, 2012 Notification date: August 3, 2012 Accepted Author CRC due to AAAI Press: August 17, 2012 Workshop date: October 9, 2012 Workshop Organizers =================== Dr. Philippe Pasquier (Workshop Chair) School of Interactive Arts + Technology (SIAT) Simon Fraser University Dr. Arne Eigenfeldt The School for the Contemporary Arts Simon Fraser University Dr. Oliver Bown Design Lab, Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning The University of Sydney ---------------------- http://www.metacreation.net/mume2012/ ======================

They let us use the space but we have to take care about having the meeting without producing any disturbance to them, and to clean the space after the meeting. We would apreciate if you would send us a small mail to steiner AT block4 DOT com with your name, Pd experience and interests, so that we know how many people might be coming. Or put your name in the pd-berlin wiki page. We would like to thank the support and willingness of NK in the organization of these events.
