hi,
as Tim Nunn wrote Chris has asked me (two times) to do an introduction = to the list - and I have been 'lurking' for a while, too. so it is about = time for me, too.
I have learned about the list through our "backup_festival" and through = last years project "backup.lounge|lab" - some of our participants are = members of the list.
together with Marc Olff I do the board and concept of the = "backup_festival. new media in film" since 1999 at weimar/germany. please have a look at our web site www.backup-festival.com
we are students for media design at the bauhaus university of weimar. we = and our colleagues are working multidisciplinary, with a lot of = practice, mainly with video, dvd, internet (but also with film, photo, = graphic design, product design, architecture).=20 Marc Olff is directing an producing music videos and short films with = his company "sonnendeck_tv" (www.sonnendeck.tv)=20 there were reasons and motivations enough for us to organize the = backup_festival.=20 we wanted to create a platform for the investigation of the convergence = of new media and the medium of film.
with the backup.lounge|lab we want to investigate collaborative forms of = work between artists in all disciplines. based on the theory of "open source" the aim is to create artistic works = that are able to display the act of collaboration, the melting into one = another and overlapping as a continuous process. the invited = participants put a continual recontextualization of the spatial = structures into motion. we think it is an interesting addendum for the festival and for our = focus on 'screen presentation' and the cinema situation in the context = of our international "backup.award".
at the moment we received a lot of entries for this year's festival. the = call for entries was over on the 16th of august. the thematic starting point of this year's .lounge|lab is "Testing Truth = - XOR" (the metaphoric quality of binary code).
because of all these activities and ideas I wanted to learn more about = your 'ambit', too. and I wanted to provide information about us and = wanted to discuss them. that's why I joined the list.
and something more about me - before I started my studies at the bauhaus = university I was working for seven years as an executive producer and = later as a producer for theatre, video and for festivals.=20
