Turbulence Commission: The Simultaneous Translator by John Roach and Willy
Whip
http://turbulence.org/Works/simtrans/
Requires Windows OS
LIVE PERFORMANCE: Sunday April 15; 12:00 PM EST to 3:00 PM EST [Mac users
can listen via the player of their choice]

The Simultaneous Translator (SimTrans) is a Windows based audio interface
that enables anyone to load audio streams and manipulate them in real time
on the Internet. SimTrans makes the delays and fluctuations of the Internet
visible and audible. The Internet becomes your collaborator as you create
your mix, and the instability you usually try to avoid becomes a tool for
creation. Distance and delay are manifest within the interface numerically
and as a series of sliding heads; there is also a link to Google Earth where
you can watch the dynamic flight of data travel between yourself and the
audio source. 

SimTrans is a 2007 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc., (aka
Ether-Ore) for its Turbulence web site. It was made possible with funding
from the Murray G. and Beatrice H. Sherman Charitable Trust.

THE PERFORMANCE: The Simultaneous Translator grew out of the artists' live
networked performance project Simultaneous Translation, in which the
delays of the internet are used to dynamically effect the live performances
of geographically distant artists. 

The upcoming performance will take place from 12:00 PM EST to 3:00 PM EST on
Sunday April 15. Log on via http://turbulence.org/Works/simtrans.

Participants: Greg Davis (USA), Kenneth Goldsmith (USA), John Hudak (USA),
Keyman (France), Lawrence Li (China), Mice69 (France), Miguel Ramos (Spain),
Joe Reinsel (USA), John Roach (USA) and Willy Whip (France).

BIOGRAPHIES

JOHN ROACH doesn't consider himself an installation artist, a sound artist,
or a sculptor, but prefers to think of himself as a nomad, touching down in
whatever place is most hospitable to his ideas. Recent projects have been an
installation at the 2B Gallery in Budapest, Hungary; a collaborative
performance with objects and video at the Saint Stephen Museum in
Szekesfehervar, Hungary; and a web video project called Sweet Music. He
continues to work with Willy Whip on their long-standing live networked
performance project Simultaneous Translation.

WILLY WHIP is a designer and teacher in hypermedia interactivity. Outside
his institutional work he likes to produce mashups that fertilize his own
secret garden. This personal research and development leads him on a quest
for hybrids: connect this information to that information; grow new
contents; release new senses. Recent activity includes projects with the
artists Anika Mignotte, Reynald Drouhin, and Du Zhenjun.

nettime-ann Second Open-Search Workshop

2007-04-17 Thread Erik Borra
.
When: Saturday April 28, 2007, 13.00h CET, 11.00h GMT, 06.00h EST, 4.00h
EET, 01.00h HST, 04.00h MST
Duration: official program will be 4 hours
Where (physical): CREA, room 204, Turfdraagsterpad 17, 1012 XT Amsterdam
(route: http://www.crea.uva.nl/contact/zoomplattegrond.html)
Where (virtual): http://www.open-search.net/Opensearch/SecondWorkshop
Cost: free attendance, free drinks
More info: http://www.open-search.net/Opensearch/SecondWorkshop

If you can hold a keyboard, you should be at this workshop!

The open-search project proposes to build a distributed, peer-to-peer,
search-engine. By combining the already existing technologies of
peer-to-peer file storage, distributed crawling and peer-to-peer
searching, we hope to solve the problems inherent to a centralized
search-engine: manipulation, censorship and profiling.

After a period of contemplation and reflection, the open-search project
is ready for some serious hacking and discussion. If you have any
programming skills, analytic skills, interface design skills or other
skills that you can use to contribute to the open search project, we
have todo list items with your name on them! Those concerned with the
legal and policy details of the project are also welcome for the
non-technical track, to discuss policies, legal issues, issues of
deployment and ideology versus users.

Virtual attendance will be possible through on-site A/V streaming and
internet relay chat (IRC, a web interface will be provided for those
unfamiliar with IRC clients). The details will be posted on
http://www.open-search.net/Opensearch/SecondWorkshop shortly. If you can
not be present physically, you don't have to miss this workshop. The
chat will be projected on a large screen during the workshop.

The preliminary program for this workshop is:

   1. an overview of our current progress and the current state of the
client (by Robin, our main developer)
   2. hands-on: there will be an install party to get the thing running
on everybodies computer (bring your laptop)
   3. hands-on: after installation the workshop will continue in two tracks:
  * technical: discuss, plan and code
  * theoretical: discussion about and planning of activities
related to p2p research, law (with guidance of Joris van Hoboken,
http://www.ivir.nl/staff/vanhoboken.html), motivation (elaboration on
http://www.open-search.net/Opensearch/WhyOpenSearch), community activation

The faculty to speak and the reflection about one's language are inherent
characteristics of human beings. According to Ferdinand de Saussure's thesis
human language can be divided into three fundamental aspects: the biological
preconditions for speaking (langage), the fixed system of rules and signs
(langue) and the act of speaking itself (parole). The supposition that the
language-system and the speechact are linked reciprocally and that there is
no backflow into the system without speaking, it gets clear that the human
language withdraws itself from an immediate observation. It can only be
examined in the course of the reconstructing its process of appearance, that
is, its articulation.

Is language thus an exclusively virtual product, the existence of which
begins and ends up with its realization?

Die Faehigkeit zu Sprechen und die Reflexion ueber die eigene Sprache sind
dem Menschen inhaerent. Den Thesen Ferdinand de Saussures folgend, koennen
drei fundamentale Aspekte der menschlichen Sprache unterschieden werden: die
biologischen Voraussetzungen zum Sprechen (langage), das abgeschlossene
Regelsystem von Zeichen (langue) und der Akt des Sprechens an sich (parole).
Nimmt man an, dass das Regelsystem und der individuelle Sprechakt in einem
wechselseitigen Verhaeltnis zueinander stehen und ohne Sprechakt kein
Rueckfluss in das System von statten gehen kann, so wird klar, dass sich die
menschliche Sprache unmittelbarer Beobachtung entzieht. Sie kann nur im Zuge
der Rekonstruktion ihres Entstehensprozesses, ihrer Artikulation, betrachtet
werden.

Ist Sprache ein rein virtuelles Erzeugnis, dessen Existenz mit seiner
Realisierung sowohl beginnt als auch endet?

The Neue Galerie in the Landesmuseum Joanneum Graz examines one of the 
most important international trends of the 1960s in the exhibition “bit 
international . [Nove] Tendencije computer and visual research”, which 
was of enormous influence at the time, but which has now slipped out of 
public consciousness and has virtually been lost to the history of the 
development of art. While numerous exhibitions have been held with the 
titles “New Tendencies” or “Nouvelle Tendance” in Venice and Paris, the 
place of origin - Zagreb, has vanished from the focus of attention. A 
biennial event developed in Zagreb starting with concrete and 
constructive art in 1961, maintained its avant-garde title by 
introducing the computer as a medium of “artistic research” in 1961. 
Simultaneous with the legendary Cybernetic Serendipity at the London 
ICA in 1968, which is regarded as the first major computer art 
exhibition, a colloquium also took place in Zagreb with an exhibition 
of computer generated art, tendencije 4.


The Gallery for Contemporary Art – today the Museum of Contemporary Art 
– dedicated a series of exhibitions, symposia and publications on the 
subject of the ‘Computer and Visual Research’. Original projects in 
both art and science were presented.  During the heyday of the Cold War 
artists and scientists from the entire world travelled to Zagreb – from 
Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Russia and the 
USA. The multi-lingual magazine published by the Gallery in Zagreb Bit 
International was an initiation point for aesthetic and media theory 
reflection and there was nothing that could be compared with it 
anywhere else in the world. ‘Tendencije 4’ attempted to both accompany 
and mould the historic transition in which the computer as a symbol 
processing machine first entered consciousness as a machine for 
artistic creation. The arts of the electronic media were not regarded 
as an isolated phenomenon, but were included in the history and the 
discourse on the fine arts and the performing arts.


A first review of the ‘Tendencije’ exhibitions and the publications of 
Bit International has now been assembled in cooperation with the Museum 
of Contemporary Art in Zagreb and with an international network of 
collectors and private archives in an exhibition curated by Darko 
Fritz. Graphic work, films, sculptures, poems, theatrical texts and 
artistic concepts. The English language anthology accompanying the 
exhibition (ed. Margit Rosen, in cooperation with Darko Fritz, Peter 
Weibel) has made the broad range – of both art works and theoretical 
writings accessible to a broader public of art and media historians and 
artists once again for the first in 30 years. The project also promotes 
an opening of awareness and sensitivity to the historical centres of 
the arts and culture in Eastern Europe.


Exhibition in the Neue Galerie in the Landesmuseum Joanneum Graz 
presents 93 artists and artists groups with more than 350 artworks, 
alongside computer programs and other working process documents.

nettime-ann 3-month Postdoctoral Fellowship (KNAW, Amsterdam)

2007-04-17 Thread Geert Lovink

.
Virtual Knowledge Studio, 3-month Postdoctoral Fellowship, KNAW, 
Amsterdam


Applications are invited for three-month fellowships within the
Virtual Knowledge Studio for the Humanities and Social Sciences
(VKS), a programme funded by the KNAW (Royal Dutch Academy for Arts
and Sciences). The VKS aims to support researchers in the humanities
and social sciences in the creation of new scholarly practices,
termed here e-research, as well as in their reflection on e-research
in relation to the development of their fields.

A core feature of the VKS is the integration of design and analysis
in a close co-operation between social scientists, humanities
researchers, information technology experts, and information
scientists. This integrated approach aims to provide insight into the
ways in which e-research can contribute to new research questions and
methods in the humanities and social sciences.

The Virtual Knowledge Studio has the following goals:

* to contribute to the design and conceptualisation of novel
scholarly practices in the humanities and social sciences;
* to support scholars in their experimental play with new ways of
doing research and emerging forms of collaboration and communication;
* to facilitate the travel of new methods, practices, resources
and techniques across different disciplines;
* to contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics of
knowledge creation.

The fellowship is designed for junior scholars who have recently
received their PhDs in order to provide the following: experience of
working within an interdisciplinary research group, an opportunity to
prepare material for publication and to develop new research ideas.
During the three months of the fellowship, a senior member of the VKS
staff will act as mentor.

Expectations:

* Deliver research seminar within internal VKS research meetings
during first month.
* Prepare at least one publication (in which VKS should be
acknowledged upon publication). A draft of the publication should be
circulated no later than 2 weeks before the end of the fellowship in
order to enable feedback to be given before the end of the fellowship.
* Prepare outline proposal for new research project.
* Attend all research meetings (held every 2-3 weeks) during
period of fellowship and be present at the VKS on a regular basis.

Qualifications:

* PhD in relevant field, from a university in the Netherlands or 
abroad.

* In most cases, the PhD should have been awarded no more than 12
months prior to the application deadline
Compensation:
* You will receive a total of 10,000 euro to cover your
accommodation and other costs.
* You will be expected to cover most travel as well as insurance
and other costs yourself.
* You will be reimbursed for the costs of one return trip
(economy/2nd class) between your main place of residence and Amsterdam.
* You will be provided with shared office space and a PC.
There is no formal application form. Applications are welcome in any
area of the work of the VKS. Applications are welcome from both Dutch
and non-Dutch candidates. To apply, please send your curriculum
vitae, a 2-page statement outlining what you will work on while at
the VKS and why you want to be based at the VKS, a copy of a
publication or dissertation chapter, and the names and addresses of
two referees.

Two fellowships will be awarded each year. The next two periods, with
deadlines, are:

* Autumn 2007 (deadline: 15 May 2007)
* Spring 2008 (deadline: 1 October 2007)

Exact dates of the fellowship will be negotiated with the successful 
candidate.


Application materials should be sent to: Jeannette Haagsma, VKS,
Cruquiusweg 31, 1019 AT Amsterdam, The Netherlands, tel: +31 (0)20

nettime-ann Announcing Atomic Sunshine - Article 9 and Japan related events

2007-04-17 Thread watanabe shinya

.
Dear friends and colleagues,

Hi, this is Shinya Watanabe, an independent curator and the chair of
Atomic Sunshine Exhibition Committee. How are you? I hope you are well.

Currently, I am curating an art exhibition Into the Atomic Sunshine -
Post-War Art under Japanese Peace Constitution Article 9, This
exhibition focuses on the influence of Japanese Peace Constitution
Article 9 written by US occupied military after the war, and its
relationship with Japanese post-war art. Prior to this event, I am
organizing a panel discussion event at Asia Society in New York and
film screening event at New York University. To launch this whole
project, I created the website. So please take a look.

http://spikyart.org/atomicsunshine/index.html

Especially this panel discussion event will be historically important,
because the real drafter of Japanese constitution as a part of US
occupied military will talk about what happened at that time, and on
the side of Japan, non-violent nationalist activist Kunio Suzuki will
ask some questions to American speakers regarding Japanese Peace
Constitution's peace clause.

Facing heightened global engagement, resurgent Japanese nationalism, and
the reality of a nuclear North Korea, Japan is considering taking steps
- for the first time in 60 years - to revise its Constitution to
abandon its unique peace clause adopted after World War II. Is this a
justified move? How would it affect Japan?s relationship with its
neighbors and the U.S.?

Documentary Film Screening

Japan's Peace Constitution

Date: Thursday, April 26th, 2007 at 6PM - 8PM
Place: Einstein Auditorium at New York University Barney Building
34 Stuyvesant Street (Cross of East 9th and 10th Street, between 2nd and
3rd Ave)

*Before the screening of the film, NHK Japan's Documentary on Hiroshi
Sunairi's art project Peace by Piece will be played (10 minutes)

Directed by John Junkerman
Produced by Yamagami Tetsujiro
Camera by Otsu Koshiro
Music by Soul Flower Union
(Japanese, with English subtitles)
78 min, 2005

In 2005, sixty years after the end of World War II, the conservative
Japanese government is pressing ahead with plans to revise the nation's
constitution and jettison its famous no-war clause, Article 9. This
timely, hard-hitting documentary places the ongoing debate over the
constitution in an international context: What will revision mean to
Japan's neighbors, Korea and China? How has the US-Japan military
alliance warped the constitution and Japan's role in the world? How is
the unprecedented involvement of Japan's Self-Defense Force in the
occupation of Iraq perceived in the Middle East?

Director John Junkerman is an American filmmaker, living in Tokyo. His
first film, Hellfire: A Journey from Hiroshima, was coproduced with
John Dower and nominated for an Academy Award. His 2002 film, Power and
Terror:Noam Chomsky in Our Times, also produced by Siglo, received
widespread theatrical distribution in Japan, the US, and Europe.

This event is open to the public, and is a free event sponsored by NYU
and First Run Icarus Film.

The art exhibition Into the Atomic Sunshine - Post-War Art under
Japanese Peace Constitution Article 9 will be held in June, and I will
keep you updated about this on the website. 


I created the PDF press file for these events. So if you have press
mailing list, blog or so, please send this PDF file, or make a link to
this file.

ENGLISH VERSION

Mal au Pixel / PixelAche Paris
International festival of Electronic Subcultures

14-21 avril, at Ars Longa, Confluences, Mains d’Œuvres

 Democracy ? Do it yourself ! 



The second edition of the Mal au Pixel festival will be held in April
2007, the very week before the first round of the French presidential
election. Given this pre-election context, Mal au Pixel tackles the
question of how artists, researchers and networked communities working in
the field of media can contribute to understanding, criticizing, and
imagining our political and social systems?

This topic aims to gather artists, designers, researchers, and social
workers, intends to drive us towards poetical or critical proposals,
rather than simply illustrate e-democracy trends. Marcel Duchamp taught us
that all Art is politics, time has come then to ask why politics shouldn’t
be aesthetical as well?

Mal au Pixel Festival also presents experimental installations, debates
and workshops, but also party times to share: five events of hybrid
performances, DJ/VJ, experimental or narrative lives, plenty of electronic
vibes from here and far away !

DIY simple-sample-and-hold modules with superfactory[tm]

Jelly neurons, noise modules and microphones will be integrated with
etched audio memory devices under the skilled direction of Martin
Kuentz from superfactory[tm]. A DIY micro-sampling kit (based around
the ISD recording integrated circuit for looping, sampling and some
granulation) will be assembled by all participants using circuit board
etching techniques and simple electronics skill-set. The workshop also
functions as an introduction to these DIY techniques.
