Convergence - new audiovisual experiences online and offline from Soundtoys.net
Convergence -The Soundtoys exhibition.2002. Convergence - new
audiovisual experiences online and offline. A showcase of artists who
use new musical interfaces and explore the audiovisual. Curated by
Stanza.
Convergence the soundtoys exhibition is being shown at the ICA in
London as part of the Cybersonica festival at the new media centre
from june 5 th to mid july. There is also an artists talk on june 13
th.
The exhibition showcases artists who use new musical interfaces and
explore new media for creative purposes. The exhibition reflects the
current fascination with creatives from all disciplines focusing on
new media and software for audio visual expression. Many artists
are developing their own programs, pushing beyond the boundaries
of the standard new media technologies, and standard interfaces.
Featured work includes Leafcutter John, and Pelado, both writing
their own applications in max and msp, used for manipulating sound.
Soundtoys also features Julian Baker and Ixi, both exploring
director software to make highly inventive stand-alone applications
and music tools. Another common area of exploration is with
sound controlled interfaces using the Antionne Schmitt's FFT extra,
for example artists like Toxi, Area 3 and Atty's Multi-amaze.
Meanwhile the likes of Schmitt and Bakteria are building
autonomous generative machines. Also installed on one of the machines
is Golin Levin's beautiful interactive Flong piece, written in Java
and only available as a stand alone. And working in the same
sphere we have artists like Peter Luining, Rechord and Stanza, all
with a fascination for interactive 'painting'. Stanza is also
exhibiting his new subvergence work, and the project 'inner city'.
Other premieres include Iriealist's new audio visual work and
Squidsoup's Alt Zero 4. And it wouldn't be fair to leave out some
of the audio visual artists who are currently working with 3-D
worlds like Christina Mc Phee. Soundtoys would also like to
acknowledge online contributions by Andy Wilson, Jim Andrews and Jay
Malaiperuman and the other hunfred artists exhibiting who have
allowed for this project to develop.
About Convergence.
The merging of the audio and the visual is increasingly becoming a
central issue in the development of interactive media. Web artists
are fusing the arts, incorporating a wide range of approaches to the
medium of the Internet and audio visual practice. Artists are
producing new audio visual experiences, and this includes art, games,
generative music and interactive environments. Advances in computer
and online technologies have provided a whole new way of artistic
expression and experience which incorporates opportunities for
non-linear experience and interactivity as well as this convergence.
Artists are attracted to a sense of connection and convergence which
is one of several qualities inherent to the Internet as a medium for
creative expression; sound,visual effect, time, movement and
interaction all provide new parameters for the development of
contemporary art. Artists have always been influenced by technology.
The convergence of hardware and software has enabled many types of
creatives to meet or converge. We are now seeing the emergence of a
new art form. As this newness unfolds a history will unfold with it.
At the moment there is a blurring of the boundaries as many
approaches are adopted, and this is confused further because of the
constantly changing and developing nature of technologies which also
allows for the artwork themselves to change. We are starting to see a
much bigger emphasis on works that generate and evolve. Formal
relationship to art will change as the artists relationship to the
process changes. Online, we have net.art - artists that are
specifically addressing the uses and abuses of the Internet as a
medium for creative expression. Within this context artists are
exploring many technologies including shockwave, flash, vrml and
java. And offline we see more application driven interface
experiments using technologies such as max, super collider, and
exploiting multi user systems, generative audio, and graphics
displays. This exhibition addresses the blurring of these boundaries
and presents artists working at the edge of software development and
arts practise and the new musical interface. The exhibition offers
insights into the diverse and creative nature of the web which is
available to today's artists. These works could been seen as a new
art form, or as a contribution to the new music and electronica.
About Soundtoys
In recognition of the pioneering experimental works continually being
produced by artists for the internet Soundtoys.net has been
established to provide a space for the exhibition of exciting new
works by a growing community of audio visual artists, while also
providing a forum for discourse around new technologies and the
nature of interactive media. The site is intended to provide a
meeting point for this growing community of artists and users..

Subject: Violence - Final call for entries
Please forward this call to all who might be interested in.
***********************************************************
'Violens' Festival Tabor (Czech Republic)
Call for submissions
Deadline 15 June 2002.
The call is also online or/and downloadable as PDF on
http://www.a-virtual-memorial.org/violence.htm
or www.newmediafest.org
***********************************************************
As the creator/editor/curator of 'A Virtual Memorial'
www.a-virtual-memorial.org -
I have been invited by 'Violens' Festival Tabor (Czech Republic)
to curate and organize an online art exhibition on the theme violence,
entitled simply 'Violence', as part of the festival this year.
The festival will take place from 15 - 25 August 2002
and is organized by CESTA (Cultural Exchange Station in Tábor).
Read more about CESTA below.
I would like to invite artists of all artistic disciplines
to participate und submit either net based works
or physical art works to be submitted as digital files,
i.e. poems, texts, paintings, videos, documenation, photographs, etc
which go down to the subject, in which way ever.
All kind of artistic approaches and views on the subject are welcome.
*Festival Statement:
'Art and violence both seem to stem from the abstract: that place beyond
logic, the realm of the emotion. When they intersect we are simultaneously
repelled and attracted, frightened and excited. Historically this meeting
has been wrought with complexity, and as cultural violence in every society
increases, we are prevented by paranoia, censorship and ethical demands from
asking, and sometimes even posing, some of the most important questions
violence and art together and separately produce: how is violence
represented, and what or how much of it do we need to resist the cultivation
of fear and the encouragement of dependency? Is violence a tool, a process
or a result? When are artistic portrayals of violence justifiable? As
intellectual exercise, ritual, or spiritual enhancement? For other purposes?
Or are they never justifiable? Is violence in art an action, reaction, or
reflection? '
**The art works can be submitted
a) net based works as URL
b) any other kind of art work as
following digital file typs:
text:.txt, .doc, plain email text
image:.jpg,.gif, .png

URBAN DRIFT IS NOW ONLINE!
http://www.urbandrift.org
+++Urban Drift Event ++ Berlin: October 09 12 2002 +++
+++From Formalism To Flux Management ++ Symposium ++ Mobile Cultures - New
Urban Strategies ++ Nightspace ++ Urban Interfaces ++ Open Workspaces ++
Call for contributions ++ DEADLINE 15 06 02 +++
URBAN DRIFT is an independent label and network based in Berlin, which
promotes a trans-cultural urban strategy employing all forms of media and
using the cityscape as both a medium and a sphere of action. Members of
Urban Drift act as tacticians for a contemporary urban praxis, developing
the discourse within Berlin as one of the primary cities of flux. Our aim is
to communicate architecture and urban design to a wider audience, to extend
the boundaries of the architectural discourse, and to maximize the potential
of interdisciplinary practice.
URBAN DRIFT is a hybrid urban praxis, opening up and communicating
architecture to a wider audience // urban survival strategies // time-based
architecture, temporary and ephemeral // urban transformation and the
reanimation of lost, forgotten, hidden city spaces // drift-inspired by
random movement // neon-inspired // trans-cultural collaboration // the city
as a medium // scavenging, remapping and resampling the city in light, sound
and text // urban nomadism // 24 hours nightwalking // the reinvention of
spaces // intervention // urban curating // 'cities need planners for the
next century, planners who are autonomous, able to grasp multiple aspects of
reality and refashion them as narratives, to link an increasingly
heterogeneous population in decision making processes' // working with the
city's second skin // fluid identities which are never fixed, communicating
a mobile, fluid urbanity /
Enjoy the drift....

Subject: <nettime> contra la videosurveillance! gegen video-ueberwachung! against video surveillance!
PLEASE TRANSLATE THIS MESSAGE INTO GERMAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN, SPANISH, ETC
AND DISTRIBUTE EVERYWHERE
On 7 September 2001, a network of groups staged an International Day
Against Video Surveillance. Click here for more information:
http://www.notbored.org/7s01.html
Though it was a great success (in action were 23 different groups from 8
different countries!), this protest was inevitably overshadowed by the
terrorist attacks on the USA, which occurred on 11 September 2001, just
four days later.
Since then, the governments of a great many countries -- the USA, Canada,
France, England, Italy, Germany and Israel, to name just a few -- have
cynically used the pretext of "fighting terrorism" to drastically increase
their powers of coercion at all levels of operation (i.e., local police
departments, national military forces, international intelligence
gathering and covert operations) and to use these expanded powers to wage
illegal war against both suspected "international terrorists" and
legitimate political dissidents and activists in their own countries.
And so it seems fitting that, in order to defend and reclaim our civil
liberties, we stage our *second* International Day Against Video
Surveillance on 11 September 2002, and not on its actual first
anniversary.

Between Home Sickness and the Home Front
Mini-conference about New Media and Diaspora
De Balie
Saturday June 15 / 14.00-17.00 hrs. / Grote Zaal
live stream: http://www.balie.nl/live
Special guest: Internet journalist Adam Hanieh from Ramallah
Internet enables cheap and fast communication across vast distances. It is
no coincidence the migrants and refugees make extensive use of new media to
keep in touch with their home land. In times of crisis these contacts are
even more crucial and they intensify. Web sites become message boards and
sources of up-to-date information, platforms to establish contacts and
develop new initiatives, to spread calls for action, for intervention and
projects, and to distribute self-made radio programs and videos.
Access to the required high-end technology often remains largely out of
reach for the population in the home land, which is why combinations with
older media are investigated: telephone, fax, print and radio. Thus local
post offices, call centres and call booths, and radio stations can emerge
that build a bridge between the international new media infrastructures and
the local population.
Within The Netherlands a number of different projects are currently
developed where internet and radio are used to establish contacts between
the Diaspora and the home land. How does it work and what is possible? What
contribution can these projects make to reconciliation and to the (re-)
construction of the home land? How can a sense of a shared destiny be
reinforced?
With Bruce Girard , author of "A passion for radio" and "Mixed Media"
http://www.comunica.org/ about the practical applications of old and new
media by migrants and exiles.
In this mini-conference we will present projects that are aimed at:
Afghanistan: Radio Rietfluit presented by Jo van der Spek
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jo
The Moluccas: SOS Maluku presented by Arjen Tupan
http://www.sos-maluku.org
Our special guest from the Palestinian territories is Adam Hanieh from
Ramallah. In Ramallah he was one of pioneers of internet radio and web
campaigning. He will report on the use of tactical media during the time
when his city was besieged.
Adam Hanieh is the research co-ordinator for Defence for Children

Art, New York , JUNE 13-16, 2002
As part of Open_Source_Art_Hack at the New Museum, a four -day community
project with Superflex ,Tenantspin channel and community organizations
in New York.
The event is taking place at the mezzanine of the New Museum of
Contemporary Art where Superflex/Tenantspin have build up a small
internet TV studio that will broadcast live.
The Tenantspin group will meet, discuss and exchange ideas with
different
elderly groups from New York and will train groups of local seniors to
build their own interactive internet TV channel.
The workshops at the Museum will run from 12 noon to 6 pm, and will be
very informal and relaxed.
Thursday, June 13th - Lincoln Square Neighborhood
Friday, June 14th - Henry Street Settlement
Saturday, June 15th - American Bible Society
Sunday, June 16th - Beans on Toast / DJ
If you want to follow the events online go to the Tenantspin channel on
www.superchannel.org and watch out for the "SPIN ON TOUR" shows. We will
be
broadcasting live on the following days - everything will be available
in
the archive after.
http://www.superchannel.org/Home/Profile/Channels/SPIN/
Superflex is a group of three Danish artists (Rasmus Nielsen, Jakob
Fenger and Bjřrnstjerne Christiansen) & tenantspin (featuring tenant
producers, Alan Dunn from FACT (the Foundation for Art & Creative
Technology), and representatives from the Liverpool Housing Action
Trust).
In 1999, with programmer Sean Treadway, Superflex developed the first
Superchannel project in Copenhagen, training local communities to
produce interactive, non-commercial, television programs on the
internet. There are now more than twenty Superchannels worldwide,
covering serious debates more lighthearted and humorous topics such as
food, leisure and pop stars.
Since 2000, the tenantspin channel has been produced by a group of
housing tenants in Liverpool (UK) -- the majority of whom are elderly
and in high rise accommodation --
Tenantspin is a live interactive web casting studio managed by and for
tenants of Liverpool's Housing Action Trust in collaboration with the
foundation for Art & Creative Technology.Tenantspin aims to promote
resident participation in regeneration and social housing issues through
constructive debate, the sharing of experiences and
the encouragement of responsible free speech. Tenantspin participants
are responsible for research, camerawork, computer operation, publicity,
presentation, training and studio management. Each week tenantspin
broadcast two one-hour shows that stimulate debate on issues as diverse
as smart homes, landlords, Elvis, the year 2040, sport, and E-Democracy.

A billboard with stark white characters against a red background, white
NIKE swoosh and a black and white images of a pair of boots: "The most
offensive boots we ever made 100% slave labour". If you thought that a
radical action group against child labour in Asian NIKE sweatshops
presented its agit-prop here, you are mislead. An advertisement agency in
Australia developed this controversial campaign for billboards in the urban
public space.
Are social groups still able to communicate in the aggressive visual
environments of contemporary capitalist societies?
What is left of the activist strategy of modified, "improved" or even
"liberated" billboards?
Does subvertising, the subversion of advertisement within its own visual
language - the genre on which Adbusters seems to hold a patent - still make
any sense, when companies re-appropriate the activist subversions so
effectively?
How do political and social movements campaign in this post-modern media
landscape?
An evening about the struggle for symbols, with: Jonathan Barnbrook,
designer - created several campaigns for Adbusters, Eveline Lubbers,
investigative journalist, she recently published a book about Corporate
Counter-Campaigns, Ilze Black on Subvertising in Riga (Latvia) and design

URBAN DRIFT is an independent label and network based in Berlin, which
promotes a trans-cultural urban strategy employing all forms of media and
using the cityscape as both a medium and a sphere of action. Members of
Urban Drift act as tacticians for a contemporary urban praxis, developing
the discourse within Berlin as one of the primary cities of flux. Our aim is
to communicate architecture and urban design to a wider audience, to extend
the boundaries of the architectural discourse, and to maximize the potential
of interdisciplinary practice.
URBAN DRIFT is ...a hybrid urban praxis, opening up and communicating
architecture to a wider audience // urban survival strategies // time-based
architecture, temporary and ephemeral // urban transformation and the
reanimation of lost, forgotten, hidden city spaces // drift-inspired by
random movement // neon-inspired // trans-cultural collaboration // the city
as a medium // scavenging, remapping and resampling the city in light, sound
and text // urban nomadism // 24 hours nightwalking // the reinvention of
spaces // intervention // urban curating // 'cities need planners for the
next century, planners who are autonomous, able to grasp multiple aspects of
reality and refashion them as narratives, to link an increasingly
heterogeneous population in decision making processes' // working with the
city's second skin // fluid identities which are never fixed, communicating
a mobile, fluid urbanity /
Enjoy the drift....

<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>------- Forwarded Message Follows -------</color>----------------
My name is Cindi Rowell and I am writing on behalf of the Human Rights
Watch
International Film Festival, the world's leading showcase for
distinguished
fiction, documentary, and animated films and videos that incorporate
human
rights themes. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about a
program of films related to the war in Bosnia and Kosovo and its
aftermath in
this year's festival (June 12-27):
GOOD HUSBAND, DEAR SON (US Premiere)
Heddy Honigmann - The Netherlands - 2001 - 50m - video - documentary
In the hills near Sarajevo is the village of Ahatovici, which fell into
Serbian hands during the war in former Yugoslavia. Almost all the men
were murdered and the village was burnt to the ground. Filmmaker
Honigmann, known for her strong and thoughtful documentaries,
commemorates these men through their wives, mothers and daughters, and
through the few remaining photographs and personal belongings. A memory
is attached to each object, but it takes the way a man's wife speaks of
him and holds his picture close to let us know exactly who he was. In
exposing the layers of grief, this intimate documentary tells in fine
detail the story of a forgotten genocide.

Preceded by:
A CONVERSATION WITH HARIS (NY Premiere)
Shelia M. Sofian - US - 2001 - 6m - 16mm - documentary
An eleven-year-old Bosnian immigrant to the U.S. recounts his
experiences in the Bosnian war and the tragedy it inflicted on his
family in this exquisitely painted animation.
http://www.hrw.org/iff/2002/ny/conversation.html
And:
RAVENS (US Premiere)
Zelimir Gvardiol - Yugoslavia - 2001 - 15m - 35mm - documentary
Ravens tells the story of Dusan Vukovic, who returned the bravery medal
awarded after his only son died in the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia during
Slobodan Milosevic's dictatorship.

Thursday, June 20 at 2:00pm and Friday, June 21 at 2:00pm and 6:30pm
Please spread the word about this film to others in your community! I
would
like to contact other organizations or publications in the New York City
area
that should be aware of this program and next month's screenings. Plus
we
have fliers that can be posted in local businesses, clubs, schools, etc.
Could you set some fliers out at The Space in Long Island City (near
where I
live so I can drop them off)? I would also be grateful if you could
point me
in the direction of other people & groups & e-mail list-servs to
contact. The
Festival is an important and highly visible forum to help educate and
galvanize people into fostering change. We appreciate your help in
promoting
the film. I hope you can join us for:
GOOD HUSBAND, DEAR SON and A CONVERSATION WITH HARIS and RAVENS;
Thursday,
June 20 at 2:00pm and Friday, June 21 at 2:00pm & 6:30pm
All films will screen (unless otherwise noted) at the Walter Reade
Theater at

York
City. If you have any questions about the film or the festival, please
feel
