dear all, greetings, and sorry for having been quite for quite a while, adjusting to a few things after moving to the countryside. For those of you who've heard of ISEA or attended the annual ISEA events, well this year, it's held in the lovely city of Paris.
[image: image.png] I decided not to attend the whole spectacle anymore, as it overwhelmed, irritated me last year in Barcelona. Some friends from Greece formed a panel, which took place yesterday and I participated virtually. Our panel was held at the Forum des Images and titled: "Networked Collaborative Performance: Frugal Strategies and Cultural Impact of Technology." If you're interested in my 3-minute provocation (we were eight people and given very little time), I include the link to the video*. The overall approach of our panel was to raise questions and stimulate discussion of the frugal (i am not quite happy to speak of innovation here): "As open-source software and human-machine-interaction hardware become more accessible, more culturally diverse groups put them to artistic uses. However, collaboration across cultural and disciplinary borders poses a host of problems not just of technical but also of cultural communication. In this context, the proposed panel investigates the impact of internet collaboration with live coding and other live interaction technologies on culture and the new kinds of art forms that arise from it, especially under the perspective of frugal innovation, i.e. the combination of technical skills, DIY economy of means and an intuitive approach to technology. The premise that this panel ultimately intends to raise as a challenge, is that such work requires a global approach on the technical, organizational, social and cultural aspects in order to be sustainable..." * https://youtu.be/gBBYoPLQnqU regards Johannes Birringer Interaktionslabor http://interaktionslabor.de
