T h e S t a t e o f t h e R e a l An Interdisciplinary Conference Glasgow School of Art, UK 21-22 November 2003 "How real can you get?" This two-day conference will debate the subject of Śthe realą in aesthetic philosophy, criticism and practice. "When is representation not real?" Recent years have seen notions of reality discussed in the open. What relationship do current views developed by this discourse have with those tenets of realism and representation that once provided the foundation for aesthetic study? What are the philosophical consequences of the introduction of technologies that increasingly blur the boundaries between art and popular culture? What is the effect of aesthetic culture on Realpolitik? What has happened to the notions of social realism, verisimilitude, and the imaginary? Are they still relevant, and how have they been changed, if at all? "Reclaiming the real." The organizers are also interested in how notions of reality are affected by, and continue to affect, aesthetic practice in the fields of art, design, and media production. With the popularity of haptic technologies, what has happened to Śrealą haptics? How do practitioners and academics view older technologies in the light of their electronic avatars? With the development of notions of virtual space, what has happened to our understanding of the body, the mind, and corporeal space? The conference will include panels on these issues, and also on The Body, Photography, Museum Studies, Design, Cinema and Urban Space.

During the late 80s he moved more into the area of experimental film, video art and soundtrack work, experimented with dub and mutant cut-up hiphop under the name Target Audience, and various media art, cut-up, culture jamming projects, worked with modified tapeloop mellotrons with John Jacobs, and worked with Garry Bradury to produce music from broken records glued back together (Sanity Clause). During the early 90s he became immersed in the techno scene, joined the anarchotechno band "Non Bossy Posse" and the live scratch video visuals crew Subvertigo, and became involved with Clan Analogue. In 1994 he began producing Dub and experimental drum & bass tracks under the name of Hypnoblob, and began working on a delinquent house/electro/minimal project under the name of Disco Stu. Recently he has returned to experimental music and has also been working with low bandwidth web based generative sound pieces. http://radioscopia.org BANG LASSIE. Dave Noyze (UK) (Audio) and Wade Marynowsky (Video) present a set that explores generative extremes: starting ambient and out of focus a subtle blend transforms into generative percussion with glitcher collage video moving further towards terrible textural destruction and noise. Dave triggering his favourite synths with custom cellular automata, Wade analysing Dave's audio to mash video via his lastest Nato patch. First of many collaborative sets.
