Wonderful forum, I'm a total lurker but a huge appreciator. I'm a media artist 
in Toronto, also graduate program director of a practice-based visual arts PhD 
at York University. I especially appreciate the discussion that sheds light on 
those initiatives, well-established in Australia and the UK but relatively new 
in North America. Sean, thanks so much for the pointer to your article - 
developing methods for the way we work is crucial.

Long time lurker, first time contributor.
Thank you Melinda and Amanda. Once in 1997 as an artist at 200 Gertrude
Street, Melbourne Australia, then investigating:

immersion environments with an emphasis on hybridising 3D computer
worlds. Participant of the 7th ANAT National Summer school in web
authoring and
internet site design part of the artist collective, nervous-objects.
nervous-objects is an eclectic, accidental experiment in internet artistic
collaboration. They once digested bandwidth, explore notions of real-time
internet conferencing and the manipulation of artistic pursuit in virtual
and
physical space |
|Then|
My main methodology has to do with an interest
in a multidimensional transformative practice rather than adhering to the
transcriptive language the web provides. As a functioning nervous_object
these
ideas also intersect within the constructs of the net-collaborations. The
outcome is continual.
|As with all good collectives nervous_objects no
longer exists|
|Today 2013|
I am still unpacking the phenomenon of being in large
scale interactive immersive visualization environments.  These immersive
settings encourage sensorial and
experiential engagement by and places for visitors to create, generate and
absorb a range of media afforded by presence and kinaesthetics. Research
into
embodied experience of IIVEs reveals new dynamics of participant
co-experience
with the present; the relationship between other visitors in the space
and; the
relationship with the agents and artefacts presented. A new real-time
visitor
evaluation tool, I Sho U (literally ³I Show You²), engages visitors in
IIVE¹s through creative
interactive visualisation to help generated new insights into the triad of
dynamics between visitor, content and technology. Its early days and I am
discovering aspects of proprioception, co experience, scopophilia and
subjective states of Œfelt life¹. I
am unpacking this phenomenon by borrowing methods of qualitative
evaluation in
the social sciences and design research methods for a way to describe
abstract
not easily to repeat experiences of visitors in visualization spaces. Mark
Johnson (Lakoff  Johnson 1980; Johnson 2007) propositions or
Œimage-schemes¹; abstract representations of process, thinking and
visualizing
inform the diagrams that frame these visualization spaces. Introspection
through visitor engagement mediated by design semiotics and interaction
informed by the image schemes is used to ascertain visitor¹s experience. It
might not stand up in the Positivist school of deportment but holistic
human
centred enquiry is a messy organic business.

Paul Vanouse has been working in emerging media forms since 1990.  
Interdisciplinarity and impassioned amateurism guide his art practice. His 
electronic cinema, biological experiments, and interactive installations have 
been exhibited in over 20 countries and widely across the US. Venues have 
included: Walker Art Center, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Carnegie Museum, Andy 
Warhol Museum, New Museum, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires, 
Louvre in Paris, Haus Der Kulturen Der Welt, Berlin, Zentrum fur Kunst und 
Medientechnologie in Karlsrhue, Centre de Cultura Contemporania in Barcelona, 
and TePapa Museum in Wellington, New Zealand.
 
Recent solo exhibitions include: Schering Foundation in Berlin (2011), Kapelica 
Gallery in Ljubljana (2011), Muffathalle in Munich (2012), and Beall Center at 
UC Irvine, California (2013).  This work has been discussed in journals 
including: Art Journal, Art Papers, Art News, Flash Art International, 
Leonardo, New Scientist, New Art Examiner, New York Times and numerous academic 
books on art and technology.
 
Vanouse’s artworks have been funded by Renew Media Arts Fellowship (formerly 
known as Rockefeller New Media Fellowship, 2008), Creative Capital (2006), New 
York State Council on the Arts project grant (2000, 2005), New York Foundation 
for the Arts Fellowship (2002), Pennsylvania Council on the Arts project grants 
(94, 95, 98), PCA Fellowship (98), Mellon Charitable Trust (98), Heinz 
Foundation (98), Pennsylvania Humanities Council (98), Sun Microsystems 
equipment grant (2000), National Science Foundation (1997).  He has received 
awards at festivals including Prix ARS Electronica (2010 and 2007) in Linz, 
Austria, and Vida, Art and Artificial Life competition (2002, 2011), in Madrid, 
Spain.  Museum commissions include the Walker Art Center for “The Consensual 
Fantasy Engine online” (1998), and the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle for “The 
Relative Velocity Inscription Device” (2002).
 
Vanouse is a Professor of Visual Studies at the University at Buffalo, NY. He 
has been a Senior Artist at Banff Center, Alberta, Canada (2011), Foreign 
Expert at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, China (2006) Honorary Research Fellow at 
SymbioticA, University of Western Australia (2005), Visiting Scholar at the 
Center for Research and Computing in the Arts, UC San Diego (1997), and 
Research Fellow at the Studio for Creative Inquiry, Carnegie Mellon University 
(1997-2003). He holds a BFA from the University at Buffalo (1990) and an MFA 
from Carnegie Mellon University (1996).
 
For the past decade, Vanouse has been specifically concerned with forcing the 
arcane codes of scientific communication into a broader cultural language. In 
The Relative Velocity Inscription Device (2002), he literally races DNA from 
his Jamaican-American family members, in a DNA sequencing gel, in a 
installation/scientific experiment that explores the relationship between early 
20th Century Eugenics and late 20th Century Human Genomics.  The double 
entendre of race highlights the obsession with “genetic fitness” within these 
historical endeavors. Similarly, his recent projects, “Latent Figure Protocol” 
(2007), “Ocular Revision” (2010) and “Suspect Inversion Center” (2012) use 
molecular biology techniques to challenge “genome-hype” and to confront issues 
surrounding DNA fingerprinting.

--empyre- soft-skinned space--Apologies for the delay from another lurker!

+++
Mark Shepard is an artist, architect and researcher whose post-disciplinary 
practice addresses new social spaces and signifying structures of contemporary 
network cultures. His current research investigates the entaglements of mobile 
and pervasive media, communication and information technologies with everyday 
urban life.

His current project, the Sentient City Survival Kit, is a collection of 
artifacts, spaces and media for survival in the near-future “sentient” city. It 
has been exhibited at the 13th Venice International Architecture Biennial; Ars 
Electronica, Linz, Austria; Transmediale, Berlin Germany; The Dutch Electronic 
Arts Festival (DEAF 2012), Rotterdam, the Netherlands; Haus für elektronische 
Künst, Basel, Switzerland; Arte.Mov Festival for Mobile Media Art, São Paulo, 
Brazil; Center for Architecture, New York; the International Architecture 
Biennial Rotterdam, the Netherlands; LABoral Center for Art and Industrial 
Creation, Gijon, Spain; ISEA 2010 RUHR, Dortmund Germany, and the Albright-Knox 
Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York. The project received an honorary mention in the 
Interactive Arts category of the 2011 Prix Ars Electronica and was nominated 
for the 2011 Transmediale Award.

Recent work includes the Tactical Sound Garden [TSG], an open source software 
platform for cultivating virtual sound gardens in urban public space. It has 
been presented at museums, festivals and arts events internationally, including 
the Design Museum, Barcelona; The Contemporary Museum, Baltimore, Maryland; 
Conflux Festival 2006, Brooklyn, New York; ISEA 2006, San Jose, California; 
SIGGRAPH 2007, San Diego, California; Futuresonic, Manchester, UK; Sonar 
Festival, Barcelona, Spain; The Electronic Language International Festival – 
FILE 2007, São Paolo, Brazil; and the Arte.Mov Festival for Mobile Media Art, 
Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

In 2006 he organized Architecture and Situated Technologies (with Omar Khan and 
Trebor Scholz), a 3-day symposium bringing together researchers and 
practitioners from art, architecture, technology and sociology to explore the 
emerging role of “situated” technologies in the design and inhabitation of the 
contemporary city. In the fall of 2009, he curated Toward the Sentient City, an 
exhibition that critically explored the evolving relationship between 
ubiquitous computing, architecture and urban space. Organized by the 
Architectural League of New York, this exhibition consisted of five newly 
commissioned projects by interdisciplinary teams distributed throughout New 
York City.

He recently edited a book based on the exhibition titled Sentient City: 
ubiquitous computing, architecture and the future of urban space, published by 
MIT Press and the Architectural League of New York. He is an editor of the 
Situated Technologies Pamphlet Series, published by the Architectural League of 
New York and co-author with Adam Greenfield of the first pamphlet in the 
series, “Urban Computing and its Discontents.” Other publications include 
“Structures of Discord (After Balanchine’s Agon)” in Pro+agonist: The Art of 
Opposition, published by the Walker Art Center; “Surviving the Sentient City” 
in Inscribing a Square: Urban Data as Public Space; “Tactical Sound Garden 
[TSG] Toolkit”, in 306090 v.9 – Regarding Public Space, published by Princeton 
Architectural Press; “Situating the Device” and “working title: Industrian 
Pilz”, in Shark, a Journal of Poetics and Art Criticism, v.1  2; and “Extreme 
Informatics: Toward the De-saturated City” in Urban Informatics: The Practice 
and Promise of the Real-time City.

Mark received an MS in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University; 
an MFA in Combined Media from Hunter College, City University of New York; and 
a BArch from Cornell University. He is an Associate Professor at the University 
at Buffalo, State University of New York, where he holds a joint appointment in 
the departments of Architecture and Media Study and directs the
Media Arts and Architecture Program (MAAP). He was a visiting researcher with 
the Network Architecture Lab at Studio-X, a studio for experimental design and 
research run by the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation 
of Columbia University, and a fellow at Eyebeam Art + Technology Center in New 
York.

Vanouse's artworks have been funded by Renew Media Arts Fellowship 
(formerly known as Rockefeller New Media Fellowship, 2008), Creative

2011), in Madrid, Spain.  Museum commissions include the Walker 
Art Center for The Consensual Fantasy Engine online (1998), and 
the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle for The Relative Velocity 
Inscription Device (2002).


Vanouse is a Professor of Visual Studies at the University at Buffalo, 
NY. He has been a Senior Artist at Banff Center, Alberta, Canada 
(2011), Foreign Expert at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, 
China (2006) Honorary Research Fellow at SymbioticA, University of 
Western Australia (2005), Visiting Scholar at the Center for Research 
and Computing in the Arts, UC San Diego (1997), and Research Fellow at 
the Studio for Creative Inquiry, Carnegie Mellon University 
(1997-2003). He holds a BFA from the University at Buffalo (1990) and 
an MFA from Carnegie Mellon University (1996).


For the past decade, Vanouse has been specifically concerned with 
forcing the arcane codes of scientific communication into a broader 
cultural language. In The Relative Velocity Inscription 
Device (2002), he literally races DNA from his Jamaican-American 
family members, in a DNA sequencing gel, in a installation/scientific 
experiment that explores the relationship between early 20th Century 
Eugenics and late 20th Century Human Genomics.  The double entendre of 
race highlights the obsession with genetic fitness within these 
historical endeavors. Similarly, his recent projects, Latent Figure 
Protocol (2007), Ocular Revision (2010) and Suspect Inversion 
Center (2012) use molecular biology techniques to challenge 
genome-hype and to confront issues surrounding DNA fingerprinting.

2013-06-30 Thread Amanda McDonald Crowley
--empyre- soft-skinned space--Thank you Renate and Tim for this invitation. Just squeaking in on the deadline!

I have been an occasional contributor and a consistent lurker on the list since 
its inception. Thanks Melinda, and to every member of this community who enrich 
and inspire my thinking and my work.

A native of Australia now based in New York, I am a cultural worker, curator, 
and facilitator who specializes in creating new media and contemporary art 
events and programs that encourage cross-disciplinary practice, collaboration 
and exchange. My interests are at the intersection of art, culture, technology, 
science and social change. My current key research focus has been on art food 
and technology, and I've been collecting resources here 
http://www.scoop.it/t/arttechfood. I'm also currently doing some research on 
internet art, investigating virtual performance, continuing to explore urban 
research/ media in public spaces. I am also currently a Board member of the 
National Alliance for Media Art + Culture (NAMAC) in the USA. Being a bit of a 
nomad, I've lived and worked in Australia, Germany, Finland, and the USA; and 
done residencies and presented curatorial programs in Canada, Korea, India, the 
UK, and Italy.
Recent curatorial efforts include CONSUME at gallery@calIT2 at the University 
of California, San Diego (April – June 2013) and Our Haus, the 10th Anniversary 
exhibition for the Austrian Cultural Forum, NY (May – August 2012). In late 
2012 I did a residency as a Bogliasco Fellow, at Liguria Study Center for the 
Arts and Humanities in Italy, where I undertook curatorial research on 
ArtTechFood. I've also just  done a food-info-activism micro-resident, with 
Pixelache, Helsinki and will be returning to Helsinki in September to do a 
Residency with HIAP and FRAME. I'll again work with Pixelache on their Foodycle 
event, and also with the Finnish Bioart Society on their Field_Notes event.

I was Executive Director of Eyebeam Art and Technology Center in New York City 
from 2005 to 2011. Eyebeam is recognized internationally as a model for 
collaboration and innovation in art + technology. Additional contributions to 
the field of electronic art also include my work as executive producer for 
ISEA2004 (the International Symposium for Electronic Arts 2004) held in 
Tallinn, Estonia and Helsinki, Finland, and on a cruiser ferry in the Baltic 
sea. In 2002, I was Associate Director of the Adelaide Festival in Australia, 
and in this position was also co-chair of the working group that organized the 
exhibition and symposium ‘conVerge: where art and science meet’. From 1995 to 
2000 I was Director of the Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) 
where I made links with science and industry by developing a range of 
residencies for artists in settings such as science organizations, contemporary 
art spaces and virtual residencies online, ran peer-learning masterclasses for 
artists and in 1999 and 2000 also for curators wishing to up-skill in media and 
technology; and set up a range of research initiatives, including art  
science, technology  theology, and laying some of the groundwork to establish 
networks in the Asia and Pacific regions.

I have also worked with a range of arts organizations in Australia including 
the Australia Council for the Arts, Arts Training Australia, and Electronic 
Media Arts Australia (including the Australian Video Festival). I did my MA in 
Arts Administration at the College of Fine Arts, UNSW in Sydney in the mid 
1990s and did my curatorial internship with the online artist network, System 
X. I fairly regularly speak at international conferences and festivals, 
occasionally writes for journals such as Artlink, RealTime, the Sarai Reader, 
and Art Asia Pacific; and lurk on a lot of media, technology and culture 
related email lists.

--empyre- soft-skinned space--Dear all,
I have been an avid reader of the empyre discussions for a few years and 
discovered more than I can say. When I dared intervene, I gained a beautiful 
friend in Michael Angelo Tata. 

I was born in Italy, but live and work in the UK. I am an artist and a 
researcher, planning to finish my practice-based PhD at the University of 
Westminster in London in 2014. My present core interest is Videoperformance art 
practices and the mediated relationships they produce. I work with video, 
performance, photography and digital tools to explore and question 
interpersonal relationships and performative intersubjective spaces. 

I have been a member of the research cluster Critical Practice 
(criticalpracticechelsea.org ) based at Chelsea College of Art, University of 
the Arts London since 2007. I have been a little passive lately, but I'm 
planning to become fully engaged again once my doctoral research is completed. 

In the meantime, I am Course Leader for the MA Contemporary Art and 
Professional Practice at the Colchester Institute. I am also Honorary Research 
Fellow on the project Rewind Italia based at the University of Dundee 
(http://www.rewind.ac.uk/rewind/index.php/REWINDItalia ). 

Between 2008 and 2010 I co-curated the moving image series of events Visions in 
the Nunnery with Tessa Garland at The Nunnery Gallery in London, where I will 
also have a solo show in 2014. 

I have enjoyed discovering more about many of you this month. This will be a 
great addition to the archived discussions. A great idea!

Take care,

Cinzia

--empyre- soft-skinned space--HI All

Much to my regret, I have turned into more of a lurker than a contributor.  The 
discourse moves fast, and often by the time I have my thoughts together it has 
moved on.  Reading who is on this wonderful list (thanks Tim and Renate) 
inspires me, and perhaps those of us who might be a bit out of sync might just 
go ahead and post more in the future.

I am an early adopter of digital imaging, making the transition from painting 
to digital medial from 1984 - 1988.  By 1988 the paints went into a box (where 
they remain, in whatever state . . . ) but I continue to think like a painter 
trained in the era of Abstract Expressionism.  Process gives rise to the 
imagery, the inter-twining of gestures, photos, representation and 
non-representation.  I have made some successful videos (computer 
animations...) but I do not story board.  They come from the abstract painter's 
way of thinking --do your research,  gather your sources, mix it all together, 
and dig your way out of the mess into a new synthesis of imagery and insights.

Digital imaging has informed my artistic development, as my work developed in 
sync with the technology.  Before practical scanning, my work was focused on 
compositional structure and the power of repetitive patterns, which was what I 
was already exploring in my painting by cutting stencils, and was heavily 
influenced by Persian and Indian painting and the interweaving of image and 
text in a non-Western space.  Turning to sources outside of the usual painting 
heros was a personal political choice, and the interest in the inter-weaving of 
different kinds of information also came from studying Hegel while in grad 
school at the Maryland Institute / Johns Hopkins (where I met Tim Murray).

Around 1987 I discovered the Hebrew manuscript tradition, which coincided with 
interweaving of text, commentary, and decor - with commentary often taking the 
form of animals and flowers.  Scanning in black and white (not grayscale, but 
black and white) allowed me to work more closely with compositional motifs, so 
that by the time that grayscale scanning came along and I had discovered that 
the Hebrew manuscripts referred to place as much as text, I was ready to use 
photographic material to infuse the images with my photographs of towers and 
arches and all kinds of decor.  
http://www.cbrubin.net/early

Place took over as the overriding focus as accurate scanning and later digital 
photography came on the scene.  I tried to imagine the thoughts and feelings 
associated with Cultural Heritage, using the inter-weaving of imagery to get 
past the documentation of the vestiges of history and into the spirit of the 
lives of those who went before.  One of my best known works from that period is 
the video les affinités recouvrées  based on Jewish Morocco  (music by Atau 
Tanaka - who undertook similarly interesting research of his own)
http://www.cbrubin.net/affin
https://vimeo.com/59953654

Another important work is the inter-active installation which I did in 
collaboration with the composer Bob Gluck.  In Layered HIstories: the Wandering 
Bible of Marseilles we explored both the concepts of place and the 
compositional motifs of a Hebrew Bible produced in Spain in 1260, putting the 
viewer in the position of exploring the overlaps in historical Sacred Object 
and historical Memory of place.
http://www.cbrubin.net/layered_histories
https://vimeo.com/21958545

Teaching part-time at the Rhode Island School of Design led my work to take an 
unexpected turn.  For many years I have been teaching Digital Nature.  I am 
now artist in residence in the Menden-Deuer lab of Oceanography at the 
University of Rhode Island.  Although I know that plankton do not have 
feelings, I am working to bring some of the same wonder of deep human 
connection that we feel in Cultural Heritage projects to the ways in which we 
represent and relate to the smallest part of our food chain.  Some of this work 
will be at SIGGRAPH this year - come see it!

Finally, on the Community front: I served on the Board of ISEA for about 10 
years, and was vice-president for a bit until I decided that we did not really 
need a vice-president on such a small board.  I have just been appointed to a 3 
year term a the Chair of the Digital Arts Community of ACM-SIGGRAPH, and I urge 
you all to join our group site to post your work.

I also have worked with other artists to organize some artist-organized 
exhibitions, most notably the Cultural Heritage Artists Project for the Orchard 
Street Shul, which included notable contributions and hard work by some of 
incredible people who are on this list (Nancy Austin, Christina Spiesel, Greg 
Garvey, Jeanne Criscola, lots of advice from Patrick Lichty many others who may

From my website. Thanks for the opportunity!

I am a Professor of Media Studies at Pitzer College where I teach media 
production, history  and theory.

I have written on feminist, fake, and AIDS documentary.

My current work is on and about YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/mediapraxisme, 
and other more radicalhttp://www.mediapraxis.org uses of digital media.


[http://pzacad.pitzer.edu/%7Eajuhasz/pages/images/is_single_pixel_gif.gif]

I produced the feature films, The Owlhttp://www.theowlsmovie.coms (Cheryl 
Dunye, 2012) and The Watermelon Woman (Dunye, 1996), as well as nearly fifteen 
educational 
documentarieshttp://pzacad.pitzer.edu/%7Eajuhasz/pages/filmography.htm on 
feminist issues like teenage sexuality, AIDS, and sex education.

My first book, AIDS TV: Identity, Community and Alternative Video (Duke 
University Press, 1996) is about the contributions of low-end video production 
to political organizing and individual and community growth. My second book is 
comprised of transcribed interviews from my documentary about feminist film 
history, Women of Visionhttp://pzacad.pitzer.edu/%7Eajuhasz/pages/books.htm, 
with accompanying introductions (Minnesota University Press). My third book, F 
is for Phony: Fake Documentary and Truth’s Undoing, edited with Jesse Lerner, 
is recently out from University of MN Presshttp://www.upress.umn.edu.

My innovative video-book, Learning from YouTube (2011), is recently published

My earlier digital effort is Media Praxis:http://www.mediapraxis.org A 
Radical Web-Site Integrating Theory, Practice and Politics.

 I blog on this and other projects at 
www.aljean.wordpress.comhttp://www.aljean.wordpress.com.

I have another website: FeministOnline 
Spaceshttp://www.feministonlinespaces.com/ about my course and thinking about 
those questions and places.

to submit a post with:

1) a brief bio, with contact information

• My name is Christine Palma and I’m a radio producer, writer and visual
artist living in Los Angeles.
I can be reach directly at christinepa...@gmail.com

I am probably best known as the producer and host of *Echo in the
Sense*http://echointhesense.com/,
a radio program which has been broadcasting weekly, anywhere from 1 to 3
hours, on KXLU Los Angeles 88.9 FM since 1994. It currently can be picked
up on Sunday nights from 8 to 9 PM both on the radio and through a live web
stream http://www.live365.com/stations/kxlu1?site=pro on KXLU’s
homepagehttp://www.kxlu.com/ at
www.kxlu.com. I am also the Public Affairs Director for the radio station.
The focus has always been on public affairs, arts and culture, and giving
airtime to people, issues and topics you would not normally hear about on
prime-time stations and which deserve a broader audience. KXLU’s radio
signal encompasses Los Angeles County and the San Fernando Valley, but its
internet signal is picked up around the world.

2) a two-paragraph description of your practice, current/recent
projects, or writing or curatorial activities

• In writing, I am currently building my art criticism portfolio at
http://www.13waysoflookingatablackbird.com (due to launch in September).

• With my art, I am working on a series of artwork using the iconography of
sheep, to explore issues of domestication, how we have been domesticated
from childhood and have entered into agreements in order to live in
society. I am also looking at issues surrounding group identity, as
described by literary theorist Michael Hardt in his writings about the
multitude. I will be exhibiting a video and installation at a gallery in
July 13th (see below).

• This Summer, I am again one of the co-directors (not the curator)
organizing four group exhibitions on each Saturday evening in July.
Information can be found at www.take-off-and-landing.com   The website will
be updated as the exhibitions take place to show all artwork and video from
the shows. The event will feature art, live music, food, and is free to the
public.

 Dear all,
 I have been an avid reader of the empyre discussions for a few years and
 discovered more than I can say. When I dared intervene, I gained a
 beautiful friend in Michael Angelo Tata.

 I was born in Italy, but live and work in the UK. I am an artist and a
 researcher, planning to finish my practice-based PhD at the University of
 Westminster in London in 2014. My present core interest is Videoperformance
 art practices and the mediated relationships they produce. I work with
 video, performance, photography and digital tools to explore and question
 interpersonal relationships and performative intersubjective spaces.

 I have been a member of the research cluster Critical Practice (
 criticalpracticechelsea.org ) based at Chelsea College of Art, University
 of the Arts London since 2007. I have been a little passive lately, but I'm
 planning to become fully engaged again once my doctoral research is
 completed.

 In the meantime, I am Course Leader for the MA Contemporary Art and
 Professional Practice at the Colchester Institute. I am also Honorary
 Research Fellow on the project Rewind Italia based at the University of
 Dundee (http://www.rewind.ac.uk/rewind/index.php/REWINDItalia ).

 Between 2008 and 2010 I co-curated the moving image series of events
 Visions in the Nunnery with Tessa Garland at The Nunnery Gallery in London,
 where I will also have a solo show in 2014.

 I have enjoyed discovering more about many of you this month. This will be
 a great addition to the archived discussions. A great idea!

 Take care,

 Cinzia

Dear Everyone.

I am Danish lurker. Since January 2013 I have enjoyed looking into  
this list - trying to get more into academic methodologies of  
Artistic Research and Interdisciplinary Studies. Thank you!


I am a singer, writer and director and have a master in Modern  
Culture and Cultural Dissemination.  I have written articles about  
film, gender, family and identity from a perspective of queer-theory.




Mostly, though, I have worked artistically with music, film and  
words. The last few years I have got more into performing. This  
summer I am recording my second music album. (Link to BIO further down).


I applied for a Ph.D. at Copenhagen University, DK (that I didn’t get  
so far) in Artistic Research with a project about voice, music and  
(different kinds of) female subjectivity
(whether or how it makes sense to say that female subjectivity exists  
at all when it comes down to it! – culturally and psychosomatically).


According to that, my concept music album: The Book of the Mermaid  
and it's other artistic bi-products probably have most relevance:



The Book of the Mermaid (2009) is inspired by the fairytale, The  
Little Mermaid, written by the storyteller H.C. Andersen. (There is a  
sculpture of her in Copenhagen which serves as the icon for  
Copenhagen and which is the most must-see attraction for many  
tourists coming to Denmark):

http://www.pernillerp-mix.dk/index.php/music/the-book-of-the-mermaid

Music video (has another ending than the fairytale): I’m gonna love  
you (2012)

Concert trailer (work in progress): The Mermaid Has Got The Blues (2012)

Bio: http://www.pernillerp-mix.dk/index.php/bio-english

Work of Art: http://www.pernillerp-mix.dk/index.php/bio-english/work- 
of-art


I am not so much into New Media and Technologies – as it seems that  
many people are in this forum. Therefore I am thinking, that if  
anyone knows about other lists of academic discussions that might  
serve my quest, I would be happy to know about it.


Also, Artistic research is not so common in Denmark and being older  
that 40 (I am 46 years old), it is said in Denmark, that getting a  
Ph.D. project funded can be quite difficult. So I figured that I  
ought to apply at other universities abroad as well. The Academy of  
Music and Drama in Gothenburg would be perfect(!) - for that matter  
but this university hasn’t accept applications for some time.


If anyone knows about universities in England or France (where a  
degree can be taken in English) that would be suitable for my  
project, I will appreciate it very much to get to know about them.

I guess one becomes a lurker when one stops posting for more than a few
conversations (It's been at least a few months since I've been able to post,
not for lack of energy, but time). I've been part of this list for quite a
few years, and want to thank Timothy, Melinda and everyone who oversees the
mailing list for doing such a great job. I enjoy the conversations very
