The Yuanfen New Media Art Space preserves its Bauhaus architectural tradition while continuously metamorphosing into new spaces with each exhibition as artists interact with the space creating site-specific projects. The space was originally part of the 798 Electronics Factory and produced ceramic resistors. An original industrial potter's wheel and Rapido scale from Radebeul, Germany, still in the space, bring the threads of the past into the new media fabric of the space.

Syneme will hold a ground breaking summer workshop on TeleArts
from July 5-23, 2010, at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada
at the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The workshop explores
the collaborative potential of mixed media/reality and live performance
over high-speed networks using the power of 1 gigabit research networks.
Real-time distance collaboration and performance will be the focus of
our exploration. Syneme’s Telearts summer workshop aims to attract
professional artists and musicians without year-round access to
high-speed networks. Attendees will implement projects utilizing
Syneme's (and those of our partner's) robust network infrastructure that
carries HD video and uncompressed multichannel audio. A major focus of
the course is to share ideas/methodologies in progress as related to
telearts projects. The workshop will conclude with an international
networked, real-time collaborative performance.
Syneme’s partners include the Banff Centre, Mcgill and Concordia
Montreal, IDC Emily Carr, CEMC and Peking Univ Beijing, NUS Singapore,
SARC Belfast, University of Waikata NZ, City University of Hong Kong,
Bournemouth UK, and Stanford and Indiana Purdue US.

Kodda - Metamorphy
Opening: November 28, 2009
Kodda
is a nomad in a digital matrix; he plays with his brushes as he
produces music and paintings - distorting time, sampling a color, a
texture, a gesture, and blending them with the constant ebb of
influences fed to himself to create a "unique and polyphonic"
interpretation of modern painting.
