The venue was chosen due to its neutrality as a basis for the curatorial concept: the support, the fundament and the context where the artistic act sets and develops itself. In its attempt to move from the pictural canvas to the profecting screen, the concept of White Canvas aims at applying a new frame: the idea of film-painting. - The sequential and temporal dimension of the film image will be borrowed from the static feature of the painting ( and vice versa). -The support issue brings along the problem of intensifying the virtual artistic content that will populate the screen as a consequence to the assumed artistic decision; this will endow the artistic act with an apparently unlimited freedom but will lso appeal to both abstract and sensorial reasoning. -Video art as art manifesto explores the real mostly in a critical way, with its own means; it has as basic static support the place of the artist as related to the artistic object. -Thus, the support issue brings into discussion the issue of the context of the artist’s perspective, a fact that leads to the introspective aspect of questioning the creative act. The virtual space, the white space of innocence, perfection, honesty, purity, neutrality, light and exactness will be contaminated by the personal aesthetic experiences expressed through his perspective. The reason for discussing the concept of White Canvas is to propose video images that will open a whole new interrogative horizon for the viewer and where he stands in relation with the video art and the world to which this art is related.

[rohrpost] Announcing > DATA STUDIES - New low-residency MSc program
Dear Colleagues, With great enthusiasm we share our most currently developed excellence, low-residency, master’s program answering the continual evolving needs of the field. -- DATA STUDIES Masters of Science focuses on the critical juncture between the birth of new research paradigms, methods & tools, and the increasingly complex politics of social media as contested global platforms and data repositories. ==> POST-GRADUATE - (Masters of Science, 120 ECTS, 5-semester) (Academic Expert, 60 ECTS, 3-semester (Certified Program, 30 ECTS, 2-3 semester) ==> MODULARIZED – Created to accommodate the needs of working professionals, the modularized and low-residency program "Data Studies" conveys the core skills of contemporary digital science over seven intensive 4-6 day modules held in Austria. ==> START – 18. November 2014 ==> BRAIN TRUST - Data Studies brings together the best experts in the field - excerpt from the international faculty: David M. BERRY (London), Axel BRUNS (Sidney), Carolin GERLITZ (Amsterdam), Lev MANOVICH (New York), Warren SACK (Santa Cruz), Regine BUSCHAUER (Basel), Theo Röhle (Braunschweig), Annika RICHTERICH (Maastricht), Shintaro MIYAZAKI (BASEL), Ramón REICHERT (Vienna) and Oliver GRAU (DanubeU). ==> WHY - There has been a data rush in the past decade – one brought about by companies producing big amounts of data, another by the ubiquity of online communication, social media in particular (YouTube, Google Earth, Tumblr, Twitter, Pinterest, FeedBurner and Facebook), and by the adoption within the social sciences and digital humanities of analytical software-based tools. Big Data is the big challenge of our time in computing and humanities. It generates value from very large data sets, which cannot be analyzed with traditional computing techniques. ==> CONTENT - The new post-graduate course DATA STUDIES starting this November responds to the increasing demand for competencies bridged between cultural and computer sciences. It conveys to students comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge about the systematic application of computer-assisted and data-based processes with digital resources. The transdisciplinary aligned spectrum of the curriculum brings various methodological approaches together and offers an overview of knowledge fields in DIGITAL HUMANITIES, DIGITAL LITERACY, DIGITAL METHODS, COMPUTER PHILOLOGY, VISUAL CULTURE, DATA CRITICISM, HISTORICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE, COMPUTER LINGUISTICS, CULTURE & MEDIA HISTORY, POPULARIZATION & VISUALIZATION OF COMPLEX DATA STRUCTURES, DATA PRIVACY LAWS, INFORMATION MANAGEMENT and THEORIES OF DIGITAL MEDIA IN THE HUMANITIES & CULTURAL SCIENCES. In the fields of intermediation, collections and marketing of data, the LEGAL and ECONOMIC aspects are specifically tailored to play important roles. - ==> DANUBE UNIVERSITY - located 70km from Vienna in the UNESCO world heritage Wachau region, Danube University is the only public university in Europe specializing in advanced continuing education by developing low-residency degree programs for working professionals and life-long learners. The University’s Center for Image Science is housed in the Göttweig Monastery, a 14th century building remodeled to fit the needs of modern media arts research in singular surroundings and in the newly designed Campus Krems. www.donau-uni.ac.at www.donau-uni.ac.at/datastudies www.donau-uni.ac.at/datastudies/infotag www.facebook.com/datastudies -- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.in-mind.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
[rohrpost] DEKONSTRUKT in der AUSSTELLUNG „REVOLUTION“, Videoinstallation von Thomas Scheffer
Herzliche Einladung zur AUSSTELLUNG „REVOLUTION“ in der Galerie Nord, 23.05. bis 14.06.2014 Kunstverein Tiergarten | Galerie Nord, Turmstr. 75, 10551 Berlin Vor dem Hintergrund des 25-jährigen Jubiläums der Friedlichen Revolution von 1989, des Ausbruchs des 1. Weltkriegs vor 100 Jahren und der politischen Umwälzungen in Osteuropa und der arabischen Welt hat der Kunstverein Tiergarten Künstlerinnen und Künstler zu thematischen Beiträgen eingeladen und stellte die Frage nach einem persönlichen Bezug zum Thema Revolution. In diesem Zusammenhang wird eine Videoinstallation von Thomas Scheffer mit dem Titel DEKONSTRUKT gezeigt. Die Eröffnung ist am Freitag, 23.05. um 18 Uhr vor der Galerie Nord, Turmstraße 75, 10551 Berlin. http://www.kunstverein-tiergarten.de/upload/manuell/Ortstermin-Programm2014.pdf DEKONSTRUKT Das Fragmentarische der SYSTEMFRAGE2011+ inspirierte Thomas Scheffer. Er kreierte mit Johannes Sienknecht aus der SYSTEMFRAGE2011+ die computergesteuerte, zufallsgenerierte Videoinstallation DEKONSTRUKT. In DEKONSTRUKT werden zufällig vom Computer ausgewählte, kurze Interview- Passagen sämtlicher Videointerviews von SYSTEMFRAGE2011+ aneinandergereiht. Der Computer bestimmt Ausschnitt und Reihenfolge. So bleibt die Neutralität der Auswahl und die Gleichbehandlung der Interviews erhalten. Es entstehen in DEKONSTRUKT zwar zwischenzeitig auch Kakophonien und zusammenhangslose Gedankensprünge, es schliessen sich aber die Interview- Fetzen in weiten Teilen aufgrund des Zufalls zusammen und bilden eine ganz eigene Melodie und Metaebene. Infolge dessen entsteht ein erweiterter Sinnzusammenhang und Kontext. DEKONSTRUKT basiert auf der SYSTEMFRAGE2011+. Unter dem Pseudonym 'videoatonale' entstand zwischen 26.08.2011 und 25.09.2013 das Online Projekt SYSTEMFRAGE2011+ mit 140 Videos und einer Lauflänge von 46 Stunden. Menschen unterschiedlicher Herkunft und verschiedenen Alters sowie Aktivisten in bewusst ungeschnittenen Videointerviews und -statements kommen zu Wort. Die Interviewten kommen bzw. kamen teilweise aus sozialen wie auch politischen Bewegungen oder sind bzw. waren Einzelkämpfer, die sich ein Spezialgebiet gesellschaftlicher Relevanz erarbeitet haben.
