Appel à projet Résidences Vidéophonic - octobre 2010

AADN — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:11:08 +0200

Sous l'appellation confuse d'Arts Numériques se développent de plus en plus des formats de création hybrides, natifs des technologies et des usages multimédia. Parallèlement, on voit fleurir des rencontres
indisciplinaires, des fusions de genres, des métissages esthétiques; sous couvert de technologie, de l'innovation artistique qui ne dit pas son nom.

C'est dans ce champs élargi du spectacle vivant «augmenté» par les TIC, allant de l'installation performative ou interactive au live-cinéma, que l'AADN offre aux artistes depuis 2008 un espace d'expérimentation et de création : les Résidences VIDEOPHONIC.

Le principe est simple : accueillir en résidence des créations en développement, croisant une dimension sonore, une dimension visuelle et plus si affinités, dans des dispositifs questionnant l'espace scénique et la relation au public.
L'objectif des résidences est de proposer, à des projets multimédia émergents, une étape de travail pour améliorer ou développer un dispositif technique, une scénographie innovante, expérimenter une forme de monstration originale...

Nous proposons quatre résidences par an, dont les sorties publiques se transforment en rendez-vous trimestriels croisant rencontres d'artistes et apéro professionnel au-delà de la confrontation au public.

Pour cette prochaine saison, nous collaborons avec le Projet Bizarre, pôle de développement d'artistes émergents de l'agglomération lyonnaise, et proposons d'accueillir, veejays, musiciens, vidéastes, geeks, chorégraphes, robots ou cuisiniers... venant de Lyon, de Rhône-Alpes et d'ailleurs...

Season In Hell by Randall Packer

ZER01 — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 06:58:48 +0200

Don't miss A Season in Hell at the 01SJ Biennial. Check out his interview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MGou0tk2ak&feature=channel

Created by Randall Packer, A Season in Hell (2010) is a historical portrait of political and social turmoil in the post-9/11 era, a hallucinatory spectacle of America as a vision of Hell. The work is a collaboration with tenor Charles Lane, director Melissa Weaver, and designer Gregory Kuhn. A Season in Hellchronicles an artist’s journey through the Underworld of America as told by his doppelgänger, the rogue government official, Secretary-at-Large of the US Department of Art & Technology (USDAT). The forerunner of A Season in Hellwas the creation of USDAT in 2001, which gave sociopolitical voice to the artist in times of crisis. A Season in Hell is a ground-breaking multimedia performance work that integrates a complex electronic musical score and vocal performance with multiple forms of digital media, video projection, surround-sound, objects, and storytelling to fuse live performance, installation, and sculpture into an otherworldly theatrical experience.

Call for Papers - ENVIRONMENT 2.0

MCD — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 12:33:09 +0200

Guest Editor: Drew Hemment

Leonardo calls for papers documenting cross-disciplinary thinking on participatory observation and mapping of the environment, climate and biodiversity; environmental data systems and services; and environmental sustainability in a networked society.

Leonardo is soliciting texts that document the works of artists, researchers and scholars involved in the exploration of citizens as environmental data gatherers, and new approaches to environmental data systems and environmental sustainability.

There is no deadline for this call - submissions may be made at any time.

Themes and issues may include:
- Participatory mass observation of the environment, climate and
biodiversity
- New approaches to accessing, visualizing and using environmental data
- Open data and the environment
- Citizen science and issues of participation
- Environmental sustainability in a networked society
- Ubiquitous, pervasive, locative and mobile communication technology and the environment.

In urban environments in particular we are separated from the consequences of our actions as surely as the tarmac of the road cuts us
off from the earth beneath. This physical boundary encourages a phenomenological separation. Innovative approaches to participatory
observation and mapping can overcome this separation, when combined with the way the Internet and digital media have enabled individuals to produce and share information globally and instantly. An ability for citizens to generate environmental data, augmented by freely available public environmental data and combined with new techniques of accessing, visualizing and using that data can help to reconnect people to the environment and contribute to the movement toward environmental sustainability.

Linked activities exploring the Environment 2.0 theme have been led by FutureEverything (Futuresonic) and Lancaster University (U.K.). Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts or proposals to <leonardomanuscripts@gmail.com>.

Leonardo submission guidelines can be found at Leonardo On-Line: www.leonardo.info.

Just Noticeable Difference

MCD — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 12:24:36 +0200

An installation by Chris Salter,
in collaboration with Marije Baalman and Harry Smoak

Just Noticeable Difference is a sensory environment for one person at a time
in which total darkness is accompanied by extraordinary small variations of sense
stimuli. Barely detectable body motions are sensed and affect the patterns and
intensity of a composition of touch, light and sound. The installation explores the
fluctuation between noise and order, sensation and sense making directly at the
level of bodily perception.

Results of the 2nd edition of the international workshop in interactive media

mediars — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 10:44:10 +0200

The 2nd edition of the international workshop in interactive media and cultural heritage ended. Here some photos of the program and exhibit at the underground Rieti Roman town 400b.c.:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/11277772@N00/sets/72157624483173355/

detailed program:
http://www.mediars.eu/share/Calendario_workshop2010_mediars.pdf

The participant artists:

We arrived to the Mediars workshop for a two week course. Three of us come from California, and one from Verona. None of us had met before. Nor had we met Alessandro Marianantoni prior to the workshop, but were attracted by his reputation in the area of interactive media and the prospect of studying new technologies in the ancient setting of Contigliano Italy.

Anne Herlihy is an artist from Santa Monica California who learned about the program through involvement in an upcoming exhibition in Santa Monica called GLOW 2010 for which she will be creating an interactive installation. New to interactive artwork, she welcomed the chance to learn from Alessandro, and the many experienced lecturers presenting at the workshop.

Daniel Lint arrived from San Francisco, a recent graduate in communication design with an option in media arts and a minor in broadcasting. The Mediars program was recommended by Chiara Ferrari, a media arts professor at California State University at Chico. Daniel will take this opportunity to travel through Italy before returning to the United States to begin his career.

Paola Mileto traveled to Contigliano from her home in Verona. Her field of interest began with Artificial Intelligence and grew to encompass networking and multimedia technology. As a computer scientist, Paola looked forward to exploring new ways to utilize this technology in an expressive and artistic way.

Yoshie Sakai is a multi media artist from Los Angeles who was encouraged to enroll in the Mediars program by Anne Bray, executive director of Freewaves, a non profit organization that promotes the work of new media artists. Yoshie enrolled in the course to learn more about interactive technology and its possibilities for her fine art practice.

In the course of this program we were exposed to the culture, warmth and generous intelligence of Alessandro, his visiting lecturers and the many people we met in Rieti and Contigliano. For this, and our new friendships, we are very grateful.

About the installation we created during this program:

We see our emotions echoed in nature, and imagine that nature may be sensitive to our existence. Throughout history, in myth and literature, this reflection has been a source of artistic inspiration.

As visiting artists we were struck in particular by the significance of water to the cultural history of Rieti province. In our exploration, we encountered water in all of its many guises. Our installation transcends our cultural differences by demonstrating that each of us can find our moods mirrored in the many sounds and images of water’s expression.

The workshop provides conceptual background and technical skills to develop interactive installations for arts, museums, facade projections and cultural exhibits. Previous works will provide examples on how to merge innovative interactive technology with history and culture.

It is a 2-week full-time course on visual arts, media theory and technology in their relation to the place. The workshop is designed for students, scholars and artists from architecture, design, media arts and science fields. Classes are in English with a high quality tutoring, they are thought for the students to produce at the end of the training, an interactive multimedia art work that will be exhibited in the Rieti Sotterranea.

The theme of this year was the water and its relationship with the technique, the power and the place.

Inglobe Technologies supports MEDIARS and the 2nd International Workshop on Interactive Media with the donation of the Augmented Reality plug-in for Google SketchUp (100euro license value) to each participant.

Lights contacts - Interactive sound and light installation with body and skin from public

Scenocosme — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:07:58 +0200

An interactive sound and light installation with body and skin from public

"Contacts" or "Lights Contacts" is an interactive artwork perceptible by two people or more. This sensory installation is tactile and sonorous. It proposes an original and interactive staging among spectators’ bodies. They are transformed into real sonorous human instruments. In a poetic way, we invite the spectator to question the perception of the other one.

This artwork is composed by a small interactive shiny ball. A first person is invited to put his hand on the shiny ball. In contact with this object, his body gets sensitive and reactive to other living bodies. If the person remains alone, nothing happens, there is no reaction. He must invite another person to touch him. They must touch each other’s skin. For example, they can shake hands, caress or kiss each other. Each touch generates variable sounds. The various sonorous vibrations change with the proximity of contacts and spectators.

When it’s possible we present the installation with a structure for lights. In fact, Contacts can also be connected to spots lights RVB inside a specific structure or integrate in the exhibition space. Then each contacts between the people can also interact with the color and the intensivity of the lights. When we use lights the name of this artwok become «Lights contacts»

With the artwork idea of «Lights contacts» we want to design each presentation and light scenography according to the specificity and the size of the exhibition space.

Contacts implicates spectators, and provokes intimate or funny situations. Couples kiss or make sonorous caress to each other, or unknown people touch their hands timidly, or many people play together... Many kind of reactions are possible. According to cultural areas, the contact with other people is different.

In this artwork, the energetic clouds of bodies (electrostatic energy) are musically felt. We propose a sensory experience with the other person’s body in order to animate what we cannot detect. In this situation, energetic contacts with other human bodies become sonorous. We want to provoke, to overturn degrees of proximity that we use in our relationships with known or unknown people.

SphèrAléas

Scenocosme — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:03:10 +0200

SphèrAléas is made of a half-spherical structure and of an evolutionary device wich makes man, image and sound interact thanks to digital tools. SphèrAléas is ideal for collective performances. It's a safe space of oneiric creations in which the public creates, handles, juxtaposes, superimposes sonorous, pictural shapes unstable and reactive.

Like for the learning of a musical instrument, people must take time to experiment it. Collectively, they must pay particular attention to compose a melody. Spectators are sitting around a hearth which is materialized by a hemispherical mirror. They can manipulate sensitive device in order to create visual and sonorous symphonies. By manipulating the sensors, the spectator-musician can continuously intervene on the whole structure by playing with the different variables: order, side-by-side positioning, overlapping, speed, rhythm, harmonic pitch… It is a kind of orchestra : there is a conductor who guides musicians, and coordinates the organization of visual and sonorous objects.

The scenography is designed for complete immersion of the spectator thanks to interactive sensors, a multipoint sound diffusion, a video projection system (180°), within a half spherical membranous architecture. This original shared experiment becomes a poem of sensations: inside this womb-like space, sensitive perceptions are amplified, modified until a multitude of unexpected metaphorical worlds resonate.

Scenocosme — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:00:19 +0200

The spectator enter inside a fantastic forest, with a flashlight. The fluorescent flowers react by a sound to the modifications of luminous flows. Each flower camouflaged light sensors in their pistil.

Akousmaflore - Sensitive and interactive musical plants

Scenocosme — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:35:13 +0200

Akousmaflore is a interactive garden composed of living musical plants, which react to human gestures and to gentle contact. Each plant reacts in a different way to contact or warmth by producing a specific sound. The plant «language» or song occurs through touch and the close proximity of the spectator. Our invisible electrical aura acts on the plant branches and encourages them to react. The plants sing when the audience is touching or stroking lightly them. A plant concert is created.

Body as an Input Surface

MCD — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 10:57:46 +0200

Chris Harrison, student
in the Human-Computer
Interaction
Institute at Carnegie Mellon
University has made Skinput, a technology that appropriates the
human body for acoustic transmission, allowing the skin to be used as a
finger input surface : "In particular, we resolve the location of finger
taps on the arm and hand by analyzing mechanical vibrations that
propagate through the body. We collect these signals using a novel array
of sensors worn as an armband. This approach provides an
always-available, naturally-portable, and on-body interactive surface.
To illustrate the potential of our approach, we developed several
proof-of-concept applications on top of our sensing and classification
system."

OFFF'10 festival

MCD — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:08:05 +0200

06/24-26/2010

Grande Halle de la Villette, Paris.

The three-day festival showcases top digital artists, web, print and
interactive designers, motion graphics studios, and new music
adventurous. OFFF festival provides insight into all culture media
platforms.
But OFFF is more than an event about any of these disciplines. More than
a design conference, a multimedia trade fair, or a digital animation
festival. OFFF is an enthusiastic celebration of a new visual culture.
After eight years on the frontline of digital arts events, OFFF has
trascended its own nature as a festival to become a synonym for
modernity, both aesthetic and technological.
OFFF is spreading the work of a generation of creators that are breaking
all kind of limits. Those separating the commercial arena from the
worlds of art and design; music from illustration, or ink and chalk from
pixels. Artists that have grown with the web and receive inspiration
from digital tools, even when their canvas is not the screen.
OFFF dreams about the future, and then writes the code for it.
