artstream: Holger Mohaupt http://www.arcprojects.org/artstream Through sound, photography and moving image, Holger Mohaupt explores perceptions of Jamaican culture, based on the recipes of a local cook. The work is part of a collaboration between Graham Fagen and Holger Mohaupt. Both artists went to Jamaica to make new pieces of work: Graham Fagen for an exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow to commemorate the abolition of slavery 200 years ago; and Holger Mohaupt to make a piece of work exploring the manifestations of current culture in Jamaica. artstream is an experiment exploring the potentials of artists’ use of streaming media. artstream comprises occasional projects with live and prerecorded material. Follow this link to experience the current project: http://www.arcprojects.org/artstream/artstream.html Holger Mohaupt is an artist based in Glasgow. He is interested in the manifestations of culture in urban and rural environments, in particular the relationship between architecture and its inhabitants. He is currently undertaking a PhD at the School of Media Arts & Imaging, University of Dundee.

Some Highlights PAPERS Allison Sant Redefining the Basemap Current collaborative mapping projects using locative media technologies have often overlooked the conventions of the basemap as a site for reinvention. Although these projects imagine alternative organizations of urban space through the way it is digitally mapped, they remain bounded by datasets that reinforce a Cartesian and static notion of urban space. This paper questions the methodology of the basemap, as it is utilized in these projects, and proposes alternative tactics for mapping the city.

On Friday, 5 May, Horsecross is delighted to unveil two world premieres: Beginning Ending and spring_alpha: audiography in the context of two specially curated events at Threshold artspace. Join us for a great night out in one of Europe's most dynamic small cities. About Beginning Ending This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But perhaps it is the end of the beginning. Beginning Ending is an artist's film partly inspired by Anne Frank’s Diary of A Young Girl and partly by popular culture TV programmes. Created in the tradition of the performance art for camera, Beginning Ending employs the power of the written word and offers a cinematic journey through time. This new work by Edinburgh-based artist Michael Windle is the latest Horsecross commission to be added to the growing Threshold artspace collection of digital public art. For the Threshold Wave, Michael recreated a statement from Anne Frank's diary as a letter-by-letter writing on his studio wall. It unravels gradually, a word per screen, revealing the entire statement at the end. This short sequence is accompanied by a new atmospheric soundtrack created by composer Brian Cope. Beginning Ending is an emotional audio-visual tour de force with strong references to the war-torn world of Anne Frank and to issues which are still topical today: hate, conflicts, freedom, care for others and identity. The first ever showing of Beginning Ending will also coincide with the final stage of Dr Skin – a Perth-wide public art project which started a year ago. The origins of Beginning Ending can be traced back to the Dr Skin project. Michael was one of 16 Scottish artists commissioned to create artworks in the form of temporary tattoos to be worn by people from across Perthshire. "This tattoo was drawn for me by my niece Heather Colvin", said Michael Windle. "She was doing a school project about Anne Frank who was the same age as her when she first wrote the words in her diary" . To celebrate the finissage of Dr. Skin, Michael will be joined by fellow 'tattoo artist' Graham Fagen, co-curators Kirsty Duncan and Edward Summerton and art historian Neil Mulholland for an informal discussion chaired by Horsecross curator Iliyana Nedkova. Dr Skin finissage is also a reunion of all the people involved. The evening will be opened by the premiere screening of Michael's creative documentary following the lives of the tattoos. The discussion will then try to unravel why tattooing, practiced since prehistoric times, has only in the past decade moved from the margins towards the mainstream of our culture. An opportunity to talk about other contemporary artworks which consider the effect and popularity of tattoo imagery today as well as the use of people's skin as a mobile exhibition venue or canvas for artists' works. About spring_alpha: audiography It is Spring. A high-density council estate is apparent, bordered by a river and a railway ... spring_alpha: audiography is the latest release of the Sims-like gameworld by Glasgow based artist, writer and programmer Simon Yuill. spring_alpha: audiography is the brand new module of spring_alpha – Simon's long-term project based upon a series of drawings by the artist Chad McCail and the principles of free open source software. This is the first time a version of Simon's project is publicly exhibited in Scotland. Th
[spectre] Re: How International is Media Art ? The Role of the Curatorial Practice
Dear Jose-Carlos, You raise some important questions. Actually there was a great deal of discussion amongst the Symposium steering group as to how best we could reflect the kind of discourse you are suggesting around "non-Western" approaches. When organising an event at a specific time and place this does not always chime with the availability of individuals who could contribute meaningfully to such a discussion. So it's fair to say that we have not been able to represent that discourse directly, that is through the presence of a person who could talk from that perspective. To avoid the syndrome you describe of "a bunch a friends that talk about the same stuff over and over again", we asked presenters at the Symposium to emphasise wider questions, talk about the practice of others, in order to broaden the debate. Hopefully this will also enable some critical distance. Too often at festivals and conferences we are treated to the speaker's illustrated curriculum vitae, which can be very interesting and illuminating, but when such presenters do the rounds of the international circuit, this makes it increasingly difficult to tell one event from another. We hope to provide something distinctive. When the Symposium takes place, we'll know if our aspirations were fulfilled. Regards Chris On 7 Mar 2006, at 06:06, Jose-Carlos Mariategui wrote: Dear Chris and friends: I just came up with this interesting announcement of the International Symposium on Curating New Media Art. Yes, but it is Western-side International Symposium, not a real International one. It is a pity that though there are so many projects going on at a wide (real) International Scale, there is still the need to "Westernize" as much as possible the arts. This is similar to the reasons why in the majority of books on the so-called history of New Media there is not a single discussion on what happened outside Europe, Japan or the USA. This reflects a conformism and lack of a real consideration of the ways in which new media art has been evolving, quite successfully in many cases, through out the world, and I say the world (including the so-called emergent 'others' that in economic terms represented in 2005 more than half world's GDP). So when you discuss of point out questions around 'learning from pioneers', to what pioneers are you referring, to the semi-blind western sight? Is that what makes a good curator of media art? I believe that one of the most important points around the curatorial process is to understand a context and the development of a history (in that sense perhaps the work/efforts of Oliver Grau are worth mentioning) but lets be OPEN, not just in OpenSource terms, lets admit that media art and therefore its curatorial practice is a wide international activity and not just a bunch a friends that talk about the same stuff over and over again. I hope we try in the future to talk about the concept of International in a much more real (or critical) sense, and not just by defining it from one side of the world.
