Workshop `hello process` 5-6-7 March 2008 10:00 - 13:00 and 14:00 - 17:00 Sign, Winschoterkade 10, Groningen, NL Booking: signnl -at- gmail -dot- com Costs: Free! Max: 12 participants Level: Beginner
Chaos theory, finite state machines, randomness, entropy, non linear systems and non deterministic automata, l-systems, self-similar series, recursions and iterations. WTF? LOLZ
During this 3 day workshop, the participants will be introduced to dataflow programming, simple Digital Signal Processing, generative and algorithmic techniques that they will be able to apply in any other field once the course is completed.
The goal of the workshop is not to learn a new software, but to get acquainted with certain techniques and strategies for the creation of a media art work or design. The software Pure Data will be used to illustrate most of the different techniques, but the emphasis will be put on introducing and explaining the generative processes so the participant can understand them and will be able to implement these techniques in his/her work.
The participants who are interested in learning more about the software used in the workshop, can come to the Openlab sessions following the workshop.
The workshop is based on 100% Free/Libre/Open Source Software. All the material used during the workshop will be available on-line under an open content license. During the workshop we’ll work with the pure:dyne GNU/Linux operating system.
No previous knowledge of programming is required, but knowing how to use computers is :)

Openlab Groningen Kickstart 11, 13, 18, 20, 25 and 27 March 2008 between 14.00 and 18.00 Sign, Winschoterkade 10, Groningen Costs: Free!
Join us for 6 afternoon sessions of Openlab Groningen! The Openlab is a workspace equipped with 6 workstations running a wide variety of open source software for artists and designers. The goal of the lab is to kick start a community in Groningen that brings together local artists/designers/programmers that work with or are interested to work with open source software.
The lab in Groningen will kick off with the 3 day workshop 'hello process'. After the workshop the lab will be open for 3 weeks on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 14.00 until 18.00. The lab is open to everyone interested in making, researching, exchanging, learning or simply working, having a (lot of) coffee and a chat. Permanent inhabitants of the lab: 'hello process' artists Aymeric Mansoux and Marloes de Valk from digital art collective GOTO10 (bring cookies plz).
Openlab Groningen will be the third European Openlab. The first Openlab started 3 years ago in London. The lab organises performances, exhibitions and meetings. The project stimulates the use of open source software through the organisation of events. The second lab in existence is Openlab Glasgow. It started a year ago, and is a collective that is open to artists who are interested in the use of technology within their arts practice. The group is based on the sharing and exchange of skills, collaborative projects and the exchange of ideas.

`hello process` lectures: in rand() we trust! 13 March 2008, 20.00 - 22.30 Sign, Winschoterkade 10, Groningen Guests: Florian Cramer, Dave Griffiths, Arie Altena, Adger Stokvisch, Aymeric Mansoux, and Marloes de Valk Costs: Free!
During this evening we will be questioning the nature and purpose of generative art. With 4 lectures and an open talk, we investigate whether or not generative art is indeed an art form or just a technique. Is it possible to make a distinction between generative processes, applications of generative processes and generative processes as a conceptual ground for software art? Does the term generative art apply to screen savers, alife, fractal art,, conceptual software/code art and poetry alike? Is it even important to make this distinction? The term generative art has been around for a while now, and is applied to extremely diverse works and opposite artistic approaches. No more! It's time to fork! (again!)
