[spectre] (fwd) dmax - Announcing (New) Media Art Blog

2008-07-09 Diskussionsfäden Andreas Broeckmann
[funnily, in germany there is a tv channel called DMAX 'for the 
greatest people in the world: men.' lot's of cars and bikes, no sex; 
and i am glad that even the initiators in the bay area are beginning 
to have doubts about the word 'new' which will, we can hope, soon be 
swalled up by that gaping paranthesis; -ab]




Announcing the DMAX Blog
http://dmax.bampfa.berkeley.edu/blog

As an epicenter of the digital revolution, the San Francisco Bay Area
is a buzzing hive of constant activity and energy around digital
culture and art made possible by technological innovation. A critical
feedback forum contributes to a thriving, evolving and intellectually
playful cultural community. For this reason, the Berkeley Art Museum/
Pacific Film Archive's Digital Media Art Access and Exhibitions
program (DMAX) and the UC Berkeley Center for New Media (BCNM) are
hosting such a critical forum - in the form of the new DMAX blog - to
sustain our community of thinkers.

This blog has a loose and flexible focus on: Bay Area regional /
digital / art and culture. The regional focus supports a geo-physical
community of familiar faces. The broad digital culture focus reflects
the fact that this community spans many professional fields, creating
a need for a different kind of apparatus from the traditional academic
or art review.

Serving as a civic cultural forum for this broad and diverse community
is a natural role for a public museum and a public university. In this
spirit, this blog will not limit the public to behind-the-scenes
comments, but will be open to public participation at all levels (top-
level posts, comments, events) in addition to featuring bloggers drawn
from the DMAX and BCNM programs. The DMAX Blog provides our community
with a gathering place to let each other know what's going on, what
people think, and what's next. Welcome home!

re all,

first thanks for the discussion, i'm an online discussion junkie.

 Melinda, Alex,
 
 I would clearly  be the last one to excuse  imperialisms of the past
 or   ofthe   present.   however,   ifind   this   relativism
 problematic.  sure,  australia   has  a  disgusting  policy  towards
 immigrants,  as have  by now  nearly all  european countries.  in my
 posting  I was also  addressing the  justified concern  with western
 democracies  regression to a  type of  democracy which  becomes ever
 more similar to efficient regimes.
 
 But,  although I  am not  blind  to those  mistakes, I  still see  a
 difference with China style one party capitalism, where workers have
 no right  to demonstrate, where  supposed criminals are  executed in
 their thousands after fast lane  trials, and where a revolt, such as
 in tibet, has  just been bloodily suppressed. You may  say it is not
 worth  having  a  discussion  about  that. Well,  I  dont  see  that
 discussion happening at  all. I only notice a  deafening silence. In
 this overall climate, surely it is  necessary to think and act a bit
 more politically?

but  then yes  that's the  whole point  Armin and,  with or  without a
relativism that gives up in judging who is best or worst, still we can
act  as assertive  individuals in  all  contexts to  carry on  healthy
doubts and displaced experiences.

I'm going to  Singapore for ISEA and  I'm happy I can: as  I refuse to
give  up  my biometric  data  I could  even  argue  Singapore is  more
accessible than USA for people like me. Of course the plan is to carry
there all the contents and instruments and practices which, in digital
form, can  be compared to the  same gear the Stubnitz  was carrying to
Russia in those  good old days, and  you know we share a  lot of those
visions.

Even  more,  since  a trip  to  Asia  is  very expensive,  I'm  taking
advantage to visit the south of that world right after, paying a visit
to Jogja's  amazing media art  scene for the  (grassroot!) Cellsbutton
festival,  which i recommend  to all  ISEA participants:  please don't
hesitate to ask me about logistics on how to comfortably reach it.

In conclusion i think it is  good you raise such issues, but still you
should  consider  the action  of  people  going  there as  a  positive
approach to regimes which, whatever and wherever they are, can benefit
from an alternative  input - at least before  that input is silenced
by the same democratic countries where it struggles to survive.

ciao

Incontri di musica, suoni e arti elettroniche sperimentali
Terza edizione

Venerdì 11 luglio 2008

Ursula Scherrer live video
Domenico Sciajno live audio e video
Samuele Calabro' live audio


Ultimo appuntamento XS [n.o.s.a.] Doves Day prima della chiusura  
estiva con il ritorno di Ursula Scherrer (live video) artista  
poliedrica che da tempo esplora le possibilità offerte  
dall’elaborazione dell’immagine dal vivo. Piazzetta Resuttano si  
anima a partire dalle ore 20 con FADES  video installazione open air  
dell’artista che rivestirà di immagini e colori lo spazio ed i  
prospetti circostanti. L’ambiente diventa parte del video ed il video  
parte dell’ambiente in cui lo spettatore si troverà immerso.
Alle ore 22 la piazza si trasforma invece in palcoscenico per la  
performance audiovisiva dal vivo open air di Ursula Scherrer e dei  
palermitani Domenico Sciajno e Samuele Calabrò. Durante le sue  
performances la Scherrer miscela dal vivo immagini preregistrate e  
processate alla ricerca di combinazioni ritmico-visive capaci di  
grande suggestione e di stimoli sinestetici.  Affascinata dal ritmo  
costante degli oggetti in movimento che cambia impercettibilmente,  
sembra capace di sospendere il tempo inteso come pulsazione metrica  
per estrarne la sua vera essenza a-ritmica. Tale approccio rende il  
suo lavoro dal vivo particolarmente idoneo ad essere affiancato ad un  
analogo trattamento del suono. Spesso infatti la Sherrer si esibisce  
al fianco di musicisti e manipolatori di suono. In questa occasione  
la affiancheranno il giovane artista Samuele Calabrò (live audio) che  
interverrà con i propri materiali sonori e Domenico Sciajno  (ive  
audiovideo), che oltre a fornire il supporto musicale e sonoro,  
genererà materiale video che la Scherrer  miscelerà dal vivo con le  
proprie immagini.


I tre artisti creeranno così uno spazio in cui immagini e suono  
rivestono la stessa importanza spostando il centro focale dall’uno  
all’altro, di momento in momento. Il risultato è un complesso dialogo  
tra i tre artisti ed il loro lavoro.

Environment 2.0 theme, the interface between our digital footprint  
and our environmental footprint. Through Cracks In The Pavement is an  
exhibition featuring artworks that seek to inspire social change, and  
local innovations that enhance sustainability. Post-Car Futures is an  
exhibition exploring new mobilities from the wheel to wirelessness,  
and new ways of travelling and new ways to stay still.


Futuresonic invites submissions of artworks, social innovations or  
technological interventions for inclusion in the Futuresonic 2009  
festival and on the Environment 2.0 theme.

URBAN TRACES - TELEPHONE | The bank of images - PUBLIC TELEPHONE
http://oberliht.org.md/GM.html
a side event to the INTERVENTIONS3* project
http://oberliht.org.md/interventii3.html

July 1 - 31, 2008

poster (print and forward):
http://www.oberliht.org.md/GM/program/2008/07_focAR/focarafis_en.pdf


The Telephone has become an exponent for urban society. It is a part of
our life; it creates connections between us and helps us in making
relations. There are telephones inside every apartment, on main streets
and boulevards there are telephone booths and every person has a mobile
phone at hand.
Telephone means motion and it expresses the identity of the one who uses it.
We start up from the idea that the identity cannot be anything else but
the object of a horizontal analysis and can’t be simply defined as an
urban artefact. It represents a cultural sign as long as the virulent
changes affecting all the social structures register as a natural answer a
form of resistance over the all these mutations.
TEL. continues the series of unconventional spaces as part of the Urban
Traces project. Following the interactive “Up in the flat there’s a house”
and “Courier” projects, this one brings in front a small but… sizeable
space, which is ignored.
We have chosen the public phone because it is getting sick of daily urban
life syndrome. It has become a place for passers by to have rest, a
shelter to hide from the rain… it is vandalised and almost none of the
phone booths has the door.
This project is a warning sign regarding the collective indifference that
is representative for big cities.

STATISTICS
In present in Bucharest there are about 7.600 public telephones, 400 more
than it was in 2000. On the country level there are at least 50.000 public
telephone posts installed, out of which 12.500 in the rural areas.
According to the Penal Code, articles 217, 219, damaging a phone booth
represents an illegal act penalized from 1 to 3 months of imprisonement.
If there is a damage or degradation registered due to arson, explosion or
any other similar act and if it results in public danger the penalty can
be from 3 to 15 years of imprisonement.
