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..

From: "A Virtiual Memorial" <agricola-w@netcologne.de>
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

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
sound: mp3

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.

Are you interested?

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
International / Palestine Section.

SUPERFLEX / TENANTSPIN IN NEW YORK  at the New Museum of Contemporary
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.

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.

CAMPAIGNS / COUNTER-CAMPAIGNS

Corporate Hacking & Culture Jams


De Balie
Thursday June 13
Start: 20.00 hrs

Web Cast @ http://www.balie.nl/live


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
critic Max Bruinsma, chaired by Eric Kluitenberg (De Balie).

URBAN DRIFT IS NOW ONLINE!

+++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....

<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.

http://www.hrw.org/iff/2002/ny/good.html

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.

http://www.hrw.org/iff/2002/ny/ravens.html

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:
