[Yasmin_announcements] Moderating week

Dear Yasminers,

It was a pleasure for me to moderate the list during last week.

I would like to mention that our first open day to scientific park of
Universitat de València had a tremendous success. Valencian society seems to
be very interested on the scientific research, and at the same time it were
presented some interdisciplinary works concerning Art/Science interaction.

All the best,

Guillermo Muñoz.

[Yasmin_announcements] Zeppelin 2009 - Sounds of Power / Listening of Fear. Call for electronic sound works

Zeppelin 2009
Sounds of Power / Listening of Fear . Call for electronic sound works

[ENG]

Call for electronic sound works for Zeppelin 2009 – Sounds of Power /
Listening of Fear

We dedicate Zeppelin 2009 – Sounds of Power / Listening to Fear to
thinking about issues that have been insidiously encircling us for
some time. We are concerned about signs that might suggest we're going
backwards in terms of hard-won social and intellectual achievements
and freedoms. This concern led us to pose the following series of
questions, which we hope will go some way to inspiring the pieces
presented:

1. What does it mean to receive and/or give an order?

2. The verbs 'obey' and 'hear' are known to be closely linked. How,
then, should we view a society that appears increasingly ready to obey
without stopping to think? What link is there between obeying and
believing?

3. Why do we have a need for absolute truths, even where we know it's
impossible? Why do we think we already know everything? Do we need to
learn techniques or not? Why do we think anyone can do anything?
Shouldn't we respect the ability to do things? To what extent is the
term 'art' relevant or not?

4. In what sense have we moved from alienation at work to alienation
in every, or almost every, sphere in life? Are we losing our awareness
of alienation?

5. What does it mean to talk about control in the name of security?
Don't we feel safe? Why do we allow things to be done in the name of
democracy that we'd condemn in a dictatorship?

6. Does a welfare society mean a growth society? (Cage said: "I don't
know if life is characterised by progress.") Why do we think we live
in the best of worlds?

7. What role or roles do sounds play in a welfare society and a growth
society? Are they related to a loss of privacy? To what extent have
neighbours become a new system of control in the hands of the state?

8. How do we view the fact that our instruments for organising sounds
are linked to instruments designed to control? Is there a relationship
between organising and controlling?

9. At a time when words are being chipped away at until they have a
new meaning set down by law, and people who disagree with the criteria
of others risk being branded as intolerant, how can we unmask this
warped language without discrediting things further?

We invite people interested in sound to think about these questions
and send us their sound works.

The pieces will be played through a system of eight loudspeakers on
10, 11 and 12 December 2009 at the Barcelona Centre for Contemporary
Culture.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

All works received will be accepted provided they meet the following
conditions:

1. Pieces should be NO LONGER than ten (10) minutes.

2. The format for the pieces should be WAV or AIFF at 44.1 kHz and 16
bits. Pieces may have up to eight tracks. Each track should be in a
separate file (so a piece with eight tracks should have eight files
each containing a single track).

3. The following documentation should be included:
3.1. Comments on the piece.
3.2. An artistic biography of the author.
3.3. A document signed by the author either giving or refusing
explicit authorisation for the piece to be posted on the internet.
3.4. A document signed by the author giving authorisation for the
piece to form part of the Sonoscop sound art archive.

4. The pieces and documentation should be sent on a CD/DVD by 15

2η ΜΠΙΕΝΑΛΕ ΣΥΓΧΡΟΝΗΣ ΤΕΧΝΗΣ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗΣ
Παράλληλο Πρόγραμμα
e-MobiLArt / Έκθεση του European Mobile Lab for Interactive Media Artists
Διάρκεια: 20 Μαΐου – 10 Ιουνίου
Χώρος: Αποθήκη Β1, Λιμάνι Θεσσαλονίκης
Εγκαίνια: Τετάρτη 20 Μαΐου, 20:00
 
 
Έντεκα συμμετοχικά και διαδραστικά έργα ψηφιακής τέχνης παρουσιάζονται
στο πλαίσιο του European Mobile Lab for interactive media Artists (e-MobiLArt),
έργου συγχρηματοδοτούμενου από την Ε.Ε. που συντονίζεται από το Εργαστήριο Νέων
Τεχνολογιών του Τμήματος Επικοινωνίας και Μέσων Μαζικής Ενημέρωσης του
Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών.
 
Στόχος του έργου e-MobiLArt είναι η προώθηση της κινητικότητας και της δημιουργικής συνεργασίας καλλιτεχνών και επιστημόνων, κυρίως από χώρες της Ε.Ε., αλλά και από τρίτες χώρες, για την δημιουργία διαδραστικών έργων τέχνης και αλληλεπιδραστικών εγκαταστάσεων.
 
Πιο συγκεκριμένα, κατά τη διάρκεια του διετούς ευρωπαϊκού έργου e-MobiLArt, το Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών, το Πανεπιστήμιο της Λαπωνίας και το Πανεπιστήμιο Εφαρμοσμένων Τεχνών της Βιέννης διοργάνωσαν τρία καλλιτεχνικά εργαστήρια (workshops) στην Αθήνα (Ελλάδα, Ιούνιος 2008), στο Ροβανιέμι (Φιλανδία, Αύγουστος 2008) και στη Βιέννη (Αυστρία, Φεβρουάριος 2009) αντιστοίχως.
 
Στα καλλιτεχνικά αυτά εργαστήρια έγιναν εισηγήσεις από θεωρητικούς ή καλλιτέχνες που έχουν να επιδείξουν σημαντικό έργο στο συγκεκριμένο καλλιτεχνικό χώρο, καθώς και παρουσιάσεις που αφορούν στην χρήση και στον προγραμματισμό εξειδικευμένου τεχνολογικού εξοπλισμού και λογισμικού.
 
Κυρίως όμως, προωθήθηκε ο σχηματισμός ομάδων ανάμεσα στους καλλιτέχνες και
υποστηρίχθηκε από τους διοργανωτές η μεταξύ τους συνεργασία τόσο κατά τη
διάρκεια των εργαστηρίων όσο και στα ενδιάμεσα μεταξύ αυτών χρονικά διαστήματα, μέσω ειδικής πλατφόρμας on-line επικοινωνίας και συνεργασίας που υλοποιήθηκε από το Εργαστήριο Νέων Τεχνολογιών.
 
Τα έργα που προέκυψαν εκτίθενται αρχικά στην 2η Μπιενάλε Σύγχρονης Τέχνης Θεσσαλονίκης και τον Οκτώβριο του 2009 θα ταξιδέψουν στην γκαλερί της Ακαδημίας Καλών Τεχνών του Κατοβίτσε της Πολωνίας.
 
Οι επισκέπτες της έκθεσης θα έχουν την ευκαιρία να δουν ψηφιακά αλληλεπιδραστικά έργα, κυρίως εγκαταστάσεις, που αξιοποιούν τις δυνατότητες νέων μέσων και εξελιγμένων τεχνολογιών, όπως πχ. αλληλεπιδραστικών γραφικών, ήχου και βίντεο, «πανταχού παρόντων» υπολογιστών (ubiquitous computing), κινητής τηλεφωνίας και μέσων εντοπισμού (locative media).
 
Δημιουργοί τους είναι 33 καταξιωμένοι καλλιτέχνες οι οποίοι προέρχονται κυρίως από χώρες τις Ε.Ε., αλλά και από την Αμερική, τον Καναδά, την Αυστραλία και τη Βραζιλία και οι οποίοι έχουν σημαντική εκθεσιακή παρουσία και πορεία στον διεθνή εικαστικό χώρο και συγκεκριμένα στο πεδίο της σύγκλισης των τεχνών με την τεχνολογία.

[Yasmin_announcements] Astronomical delight: stars shine in soap opera

*Apologies for cross posting

Astronomical delight: stars shine in soap opera

It may sound like a strange way to explore astronomy, but the formation
of the Universe contains complicated storylines that are perfect for a
soap opera.

This is why artists Nicky Forster and Willoh S Weiland have created
their 'online cosmological drama', Void Love.

The artists will screen the pilot episode of their sound and video work
on 31 May 2009 at Head Quarters, a presentation space for cross
disciplinary art practice in Melbourne. Subsequent episodes will be
available online.

"Surely there is no greater melodrama than the unfolding of the
Universe itself," Forster said.

Completed during the International Year of Astronomy, Void Love was
inspired by research done at Swinburne University of Technology's
Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing. The work is the result of a
four-month residency based at the centre.

The 'Synapse' residencies, presented by the Australian Network for Art
and Technology (ANAT) in partnership with the Australia Council for the
Arts, support intensive partnerships between media artists and
scientists in research settings both in Australia and internationally.

Void Love will be narrated by Australian recording artist Kamahl. Its
plot centres on a woman awakening from a coma to explore what is known
and unknown about the formation of the Universe.

After basing artwork on astronomy research, Forster and Weiland
admitted it was a challenge to understand the breadth of the material.

"At first, it was like being on an astrophysics bootcamp," Forster
said. "The beauty of astronomy is that regardless of how difficult it
gets, it remains endlessly fascinating."

Dr Christopher Fluke, Swinburne astronomer and scientific partner on
the project, thinks it has enormous potential. "There is a very long
history of people telling stories about the night sky, which has
motivated many new discoveries in astronomy. Void Love is a great way
to continue that tradition."

Event details
What: Screening of Void Love's pilot episode
Where: Head Quarters, 55 High St, Northcote, Melbourne, Victoria.
When: Sunday 31 May 2009, 6.00pm to 7.30pm
Further episodes will be broadcast online from August 2009.

"Día Internacional del Videoarte"

Una conciencia implica la formación de una cultura. Y ésta se da mediante
un proceso. Si lo deseamos, el videoarte puede consolidarse como una de
las manifestaciones artísticas más importantes de nuestros días. Tan sólo
es necesaria la voluntad de unos cientos de personas en todo el mundo.

El próximo 22 de Junio celebraremos el "Día Internacional del Videoarte".
Se trata de una iniciativa de Optica Festival. Desde aquí, te invitamos a
participar de forma individual o en grupo, allí donde te encuentres.

Nuestro objetivo es que durante ese día, el mayor número posible de
personas celebren y/o tomen conciencia del valor e importancia de la
cultura audiovisual.

Se trata de hacerse una fotografía individual o colectiva y luego
enviárnosla por correo electrónico. Con todas las imágenes recibidas
crearemos una memoria documental de lo sucedido ese día en todo el mundo.

Si estás interesado/a en participar, puedes escribirnos un e-mail con tu
nombre, apellidos, ciudad y país a videoart.day@opticafestival.com.

El lugar, la hora y la compañía los eliges tú, nosotros te enviamos el
archivo PDF con el diseño del poster con el que hay que fotografiarse ese
día.

Un cordial saludo,
