Post Me_new id - forum Festspielhaus Hellerau 31.10. - 2.11. http://www.postme-newid.net International media art festival CYNETart_08 held in Dresden, Germany, will host forum Post Me_New ID from 31st October to 2nd November 2008. The international media art festival CYNETart_08 held in Dresden, Germany, will host the forum Post Me_New ID from 31st October to 2nd November 2008. The forum will bring together interdisciplinary practitioners in art, science and technology to discuss in various formats, from keynotes to Quickfires, issues concerning contemporary and future forms of networked creations and multi-identities. Among the speakers and performers there will be Yacov Sharir (USA), Steve Dixon (GB), Masaki Fujihata (JP), Martin Kusch Marie Claude-Poulin (kondition pluriel, CA), Hellen Sky (AUT), Johannes Birringer (GB/GER), Mika Satomi (JP), Denisa Kera (CZ/Singapur), Michael Takeo Magruder (USA/GB), Sita Popat (GB), Susanne Berkenheger (GER) and many more. The forum is planned as a platform for reflection on how we are creatively and socially engaged in digital networks, how we perform our online and offline identities, how we have become plural and variable post human bodies. We are asking ourselves what is next? applying the to-be-presented theories to our own cultural/art creating and networking practices says Ghislaine Boddington, one of the forum organisers. Title: Post Me_New ID Format: International forum Dates: 31st October 2nd November 2008 Place: Festspielhaus Hellerau, Dresden, Germany Co-producers: bodydataspace (London, UK), CIANT | International Centre for Art and New Technologies (Prague, Czech Republic), TMA | Trans-Media-Academy Hellerau (Dresden, Germany) and KIBLA (Maribor, Slovenia) Url: http://www.postme-newid.net/ There will be a call for Quickfire presentations, designed to enable speakers and delegates to present their ideas in a dynamic and innovative way.

Networked Creations How will digital and physical mobility affect and interact with the way people create and the aesthetic of the output? How are new networks based on Web 2.0 services enabling temporary autonomous identity zones (TAIZ), that encourage participation, provoke socialization and collaboration, even, if only for short fluid time spaces? Can inter-authorship tools enable a state of honest collaboration and multi-authorship acknowledgement? How can creative common ideas be developed for future use? As networks become components of our everyday lives how will our networked identity/ies, practiced in Web 2.0, move from semi-passive to truly active? Will we develop a sense of a collective networked identity? Will identity itself be the main theme of the work to emerge? This day will explore the physical and digital, the social and work-based networking of creation processes for interdisciplinary artistic and technology projects. The aim is to envision the creative output of generations to come in relation to the emergence of second generation realtime globally networked tools. 11am-1pm 2nd session of kondition pluriel »passage« 2pm Welcome, Keynote Speech I Yacov Sharir Choreographer Associate Professor of Theatre and Dance at the University of Texas-Austin 4pm Panel 1 In Conversation Pavel Sedlak, Hellen Sky, Martin Kusch, Johannes Birringer and Sita Popat 5.30pm Empfang 5.30 to 6.30pm 3rd session of kondition pluriels »passage« 7pm QuickFire (45min x 2) 9.30 12pm 4th session of kondition pluriels »passage« 01.11. Multi-Identities What is the relationship between identity and digital culture? How does the use of digital tools and network potentials shift identity psychologies in Europe in the 21st century? Are the Western I politics of the 1990s still dominant or is there now a space for the we potentials of the next generation to emerge and make new multi-identity citizens? Are intergenerational identity misunderstandings becoming restrictive to the evolution of new processes and new ID politics? Can a new collective identity emerge in a Europe still emerging from separated systems based in an I/we syndrome? Is the precondition of the self-conception now linked to that of collective identity? This day will focus on the issues of identity shifts in relation to a new Europe and its digital culture, drawing from the experience of the attendees, and in particular visioning forward to the next generations of young Europeans and the way they will form their (multi-)identities through their work

Re: [NetBehaviour] pure:dyne discussion
Hi James, james jwm-art net said : Hi Aymeric, everyone, Sorry reply is a bit late now.. mine too :) Concerning Debian, I can't recall if I mentionned it previously, our goal is also not to leave our packages in a nich repository, the mid term plan for the pure:dyne team is to start moving as much things as possible in Debian itself, so it will benefit to an even wider audience. Good stuff. But does this mean pure:dyne is a tempory project? Or will pure:dyne be more cutting edge than Debian? Certainly though, Debian is not tailored in the same way as the multimedia specific distros. pure:dyne is not a temp project. pure:dyne as a whole aim to produce a good environment for media artists to work and make art with free software, and that mean the operating system, but also a serie of workshop outlines and material publicaly available, and a collection of HOWTO and tutorial targetted to artist needs. On the operating system, we also focus on the live distro aspects, so how to build a system that can be used an booted in all kind of weird situations, on all kind of exotic medium and hardware (as long as it is x86 ... for now). As mentionned previously, pure:dyne is based on 3 repos Debian testing, Marillat's Multimedia repos and ours. So In the end it doesn't matter at all for us if a package is coming from our repos or Debian's, because the 3 are combined in the process of building the live distro. On the other hand we find important to not keep this stuff in a niche repos (like it is done with a lot of launchpad-like repos on Ubuntu) and we don't want to have to branch completely Debian neither (like 64 Studio does). So we just aim to contribute as much as possible to the mothership and only keep software in our repos that cannot be included in Debian. The live distro will always be available, like it is now, as a very specific system, build on top of Debian. As you said Debian is not tailored in the same way as some multimedias distro, it is beyond the scope of this email to try to explain why from the technical, historical and also political reasons, but to keep it short, yes Debian sucks for these type of things, but we're crazy enough to think that we can try to move things forward :) (and also help the Debian developers and maintainers who think multimedia is not only about playing pr0n DVDrips). There are no CD/DVD available to order, it's only available as direct downloads or torrents. http://code.goto10.org/projects/puredyne/wiki/GetPureDyne But, the next milestone, leek and potato, will be available as liveUSB keys that we will sell, we're still trying to figure out how to do that with as little extra cost added to make it cheap, but sustainable. For those in London tonight, you'll be able to get one or see it in action. I'm in the dark ages of the 'net here. No broadband and it's hassle to get friends to download ISO's for me, so a liveUSB key would be a good thing for people like me. Hopefully BT is (going to be/meant to be??) rolling out upgrades to it's exchanges in the not-too-distant future. Ah I see, if you subscribe to the GOTO10 list, we'll probably announce the liveUSB thingy there when it's ready to order. Also, if you send me your snail-mail address off-list I can post you an ISO of the latest dev version. you should be able to cat it in an ISO file later on, and rsync over the final one, should be OK on a dialup. a. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

Marc Garrett invited two team members of the GOTO10 collective, Heather Corcoran and Aymeric Mansoux to discuss pure:dyne on the Netbehaviour.org list. This fascinating and dynamic discussion took place from the October 16th - 23rd Oct 08. An interview and an open discussion was joined by other list members of Netbehaviour. pure:dyne is a GNU/Linux live distribution based on Debian. It is dedicated to live audiovisual processing and streaming, and focuses largely on the Pure Data audio synthesis system, although it also includes SuperCollider, Csound as well as live video-processing systems such as Packet Forth and Fluxus. Another aspect of pure:dyne is that it is maintained by media artists for media artists. --- G.H. Hovagimyan interviewed by Rant Interview - Eliza Fernbach G.H. Hovagimyan a Performance and New Media artist based in New York has harnessed the power of this seething population. His ongoing Rant series started in the 70's. In the raging shadows of punk and performance art, the content of these works have evolved while maintaining the raw energy and volume of the first recorded rant. --- Grow Your Own Media Lab (The Graphic Novel) by Access Space. Text by James Wallbank, Pictures by Michael Tesh, Design by Scott Hawkins. Review by Rob Myers. Access Space is an open access media lab based in Sheffield. Access Space encourages people to learn how to use hardware re-used from local companies and Free Software from the GNU project and others. This saves money and builds skills. Since being founded in the year 2000 Access Space has thrived where many community and government schemes have failed. This has drawn attention from groups eager to understand and reproduce its success. This has led to the Arts-Council-funded study Grow Your Own Media Lab, of which the final report is the graphic novel of the same name Grow Your Own Media Lab (The Graphic Novel) or GYOML for short. --- The Jeremy Bailey Interview on Netbehaviour. Interview conducted by Marc Garrett. Canadian artist Jeremy Bailey recently completed a five week residency at Furtherfield.org which culminated with his first UK exhibition, The Jeremy Bailey Show at HTTP Gallery, in North London (Sept 19th - Oct 19th 2008). The centrepiece of this exhibition is 'WarMail' commissioned by HTTP/Furtherfield.org and completed during his residency. As part of the residency experience Jeremy was invited to take part in an interview on the Netbehaviour list. We discussed the works in the exhibition and the critical approaches and contemporary contexts that inspire him to create his art work. We also discussed 'WarMail' which was performed with a participating audience at the HTTP Gallery at the opening night. ---+ ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
