[NetBehaviour] Seeking panelists/thinkers around NFT's and performing arts

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

IJAD Dance plans to host an insightful and informative panel discussion
around potential opportunities from / implications of NFTs for performing
artists. We’re looking for the right panelists, so please let us know if
you're interested or have any ideas, recommendations or even thoughts
around how to frame the conversation. The Connective Matrix panel will be
live streamed as part of OOT Festival in April 2022. Connective Matrix is
an evolutionary network of specialists and researchers at the intersections
of performing arts, technology and multiple realities discussing future
potentials and challenges of new and hybrid forms.

Thank you!

Re: [NetBehaviour] Canyon Music

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

The music surely is both hollowed and hallowed: transporting, mystical,
meditative and sometimes scary - love it. It's like what Morricone
essentially meant at some point, or hinted at, or left buried as a nuance
within the commerciality of his scores. And thanks for advice re not
getting sick in the 1800s, will keep that in mind.

Re: What would happen if art institutions would work with energy
  budgets? (Joana Moll)

I’m enjoying this thread a lot and have just requested a website health
check from erjjio studio. I’m sure someone has done the following and yet I
can’t find the evidence of it: I’d like to know how during a performance
using tech and possibly live-streaming, I can monitor and share the carbon
cost of the activity. I mean, can I say to audiences: this activity has
used up x amount of energy and x amount is renewable? Or is that simplistic?

[NetBehaviour] Scottish music/dance tech

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

I unexpectedly find myself living in Stonehaven in the north east of
Scotland! I plan to embark on a project shelved during Covid, using limb
mounted NGIMU sensors to track improvised and martial arts based movement
to create performative soundscapes. I’m particularly interested in how the
spiral movements in the martial arts form that I practice will translate
into music via the accelerometer, gyroscope & magnetometer in the sensors.
Does anyone have contacts in Scotland that this might relate to? I’m
applying for funding and some potential Scottish partners would be good - I
can also offer interactive demos to Music Tech students, so am looking at
the relevant Scottish Universities. I need Scottish engagement at this
stage, though keen to hear of anyone anywhere that might be interested in
engaging with this going forward. Thank you, or Tapadh leibh!

[NetBehaviour] Performing arts and tech development opportunity

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

Dear netbehavourists
Please note this opportunity and share it with your networks or with
performing artists keen to explore the use of creative tech to share and
evolve their practice. Open Online Theatre seeks such artists for their
cohort starting training in Nov 2021.
This programme offers training in the science/art of Sensography: how to
create work specifically for live streaming using 4- 8 cams/ VR/AR and a
radical rethink of how to present live work, unlike traditional theatre
forms which many companies are simply filming as is, and live streaming. We
realise this is not making the best of available tech, and we would like to
offer a new generation of upcoming artists relevant new skills and a chance
to explore exciting creative possibilities. The course also offers business
skills and mentorship for a sustainable independent career.
Here is an info link and application form.
https://ijaddancecompany.com/jobs-auditions-opportunities/
Please share this as we (at IJAD Dance)  want to maximise the support we
can give to artists.
Thanks!

[NetBehaviour] Operation Edna

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

'What’s old, really old? Imagine Edna, *Methuselah*’s mum outliving her
son.  Landscape does that, what about artefacts? How can 4 artists from
Tipperary and 4 older artists from across southern UK tell each other
stories about objects, places, and living a long life?'
On Sunday at 19:00 BST I'm participating in a live streamed durational
performance with live art gang FBI+ in conjunction with Live Art Ireland as
part of the Bealtaine Festival. It's of particular interest for me as I'll
be creating a collaborative live soundscape with Irish sound artist Nick
Ward at distance using Sonobus. I haven't experimented with this before.
Operation Edna a free event, but you need a ticket:

Re: I'm This (Alan Sondheim)

Thank you for this piece, or subpiece, which I am very glad to
be experiencing today, and tomorrow will remember having experienced, and
probably even beyond. I enjoyed it so much that I read it aloud to Soren
James, my partner, here in our London Sunday, and he liked it too. He said
it reminded him of Beckett, except with Becket it might have been moving a
stone from one pocket to another every day instead.

Hi Michael

Well done for adapting your anti-racism protest. I will gladly contribute.
Just wondering what music you'll use. Perhaps good to use some music from
an unpublished BAME musician who will get some exposure from it ?

A 46 second audiovisual collaboration with my partner, writer and artist
Soren James. We made the soundtrack using what we call 'Fresco Puppy'
methodology- which works a bit like exquisite corpse, by us taking turns to
add a sound file. The video highlights some of the weirdness of isolation,
imagination, hallucination . . . or . . .

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

Re: Re: 3rd Be-coming Tree Global Live Art Event (Ruth Catlow and Max
Herman)

Ruth, I am so excited by the article you shared. Such a great thought to
extend our kinship to AI. On one level, if we are imprinting the AI with
our own patterns then surely this can only lead to best outcomes in how
they develop; also for our own psyches to move on from seeing anyone or
anything as simply a tool or servant to our needs has to be an important
part of our evolution beyond hierarchical beliefs and structures. Thank you
so much for sharing. I have been looking at Robin Kimmerer, who from an
indigenous viewpoint also promotes kinship with all beings and natural
forms.

Matthew, loving the thought of your surreptitious tree-hugging. Perhaps we
should do it more openly so others feel safe to do so. Particularly now
that human hugging is so very much out of style. Am also reading Powers'
The Overstory, which is very worthwhile and inspiring.

See if you can attend Be-coming Tree tomorrow and let us know how it was
for you.

[NetBehaviour] 3rd Be-coming Tree Global Live Art Event

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

Be-coming Tree

On Saturday Jan 9th 31 live artists from across the globe will interact
with a chosen tree simultaneously for one hour. These durational artworks
will be accessed via a shared Zoom webinar. Audiences will see artists in
their landscapes in Africa, Asia, North and South America, and all over
Europe on the same screen. There will be a live soundscape created from
tree data via analogue synths playing throughout. Tickets (pay what you
can) include a donation to plant a rainforest tree.
I am humbled by the quality of artists taking part in the event!
This entanglement with nature and technology inspires reciprocity with
nature and a sense of global kinship with artists and their trees, while
contributing to reforestation. Tickets: *https://tinyurl.com/y8n3unu3*

[NetBehaviour] Matters: A Rising

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

I'd been making 1 minute Zoom videos with my friend Yolande in the US for a
while (I'm in the UK) and then we went way out of our comfort zone and made
an 18 minute video around Black Lives Matters. It features black voices in
the UK and the US aged from 17 to 70 discussing the protests and attendant
feelings, via Zoom. Tried to work creatively with Zoom footage. The good
news is that a few online journals are up for publishing it, and here is
the first publication!

[NetBehaviour] Y go outside

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

I shared a 1 minute film here in April, (Y Lockdown) made via Zoom with a
quarantined friend Yolande in NY (I’m in London). We'd repurposed a project
we'd intended to create in shared physical space. She was ill with Covid at
the time, and though apparently better, she still isn't fully recovered.
Anyway, we made a synchronised Zoom follow-up, around the easing of
lockdown.

Re: [NetBehaviour] NetBehaviour Digest, Vol 940, Issue 1

Re: Re: [NetBehaviour] 60 years ago today - music transmission
across 4 generations of Catlows
Loving the stories of cultural inheritance, music lessons and sewing.
I suppose my mother being a pharmacist is connected with my fascination
with, and dabbling in, herbal medicine. And when younger a real love of
pharmaceuticals :)
But the piano . . . I have a long-held grievance about a teacher not liking
me and refusing to teach me piano when I was small. Always carried it
around as a ‘could’ve been’ - among other things. And at 47 I did learn
some piano, and then let it drop. Now 10 years later a combination of
Lockdown and The Artist’s Way has got me learning and practising daily. I
suddenly thought - no of course I’m not too old - I could be an ok player
by the time I’m 70. (God willing.) Also have picked up bass guitar again
-played in bands when younger - and am finally learning chords, because of
re-starting piano. It is all a real joy.
Thank you Ruth and thank you everyone

Re: [NetBehaviour] Blackout to event horizon

Well I thought you've made your bed now lie in it really dark as phrase and
concept and then the black spikey visuals I was ready to think even darker
darker still but the music was thrilling and exciting and so the whole
thing became energising and uplifting! Great soundtrack.

[NetBehaviour] Nowhere to Run

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

I was very happy to see my looped lockdown video series Nowhere to Run
published by Live Art Club Online alongside some fascinating work on the
lockdown/isolation theme. I shared a small taste of this work with you, and
now here it is in context with itself and other items.
Someone here on netbehaviour said they liked the bath legs best. How do
people navigate searching for past posts on here? Past comments remembered
but not who made them? And of course not the exact wording, which would
help in a search. Do I just let it go because it doesn't matter who says
what as it's all just information? Anyway, I wanted to say, that the Live
Art Club online seems to have felt the same as whoever said they liked the
bath legs better, because they posted them twice.
On some devices all the videos can run simultaneously and to see all the
lockdown legs wiggling simultaneously  it a source of great satisfaction
to me.
I hope this sounds intriguing not simply bizarre. Here is the link:

Re: Plague Fall (Alan Sondheim)

The video a fully immersive experience.

A dark Solaris and strangely I saw rodents (Lots) Were they there?

The initial sound seemed like an othercuture othertimes chant for the dead,
then rose, or fell, fantastically into here and now.

I do get the philosophy of offering nothing at all, yet will point out the
video is an offering and it is effective and affecting and it does give
satisfaction by mirroring the inexplicable; and for me is a deep and
relevant experience. Thank you.

[NetBehaviour] New post

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

My friend is in quarantine. My friend is in New York and I am in London. We
were discussing a collaborative project via email and text. She'd said she
had the virus. When I called her I wasn't prepared for the broken
sentences, the frightening deep wheezing that under usual circumstances
would've had her hospitalised.
We made this 1 minute film. It's about the restlessness of lockdown and
isolation; and connectedness despite physical separation. We made it via
Zoom (demodé and mistrusted, I know) and the audio is from a recorded phone
chat once she was feeling a bit better.

It's published here, alongside various interesting works:
http://retro.newmediafest.org/corona-shutdown/

We are 8th down.
If you want to cut to the chase, here's a Vimeo link:

[NetBehaviour] 5. Re: THE UNPRECEDENTED - March 2020

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

Thank you Dr Ruffino, I enjoyed your  ‘unprecedented’ piece. As someone who
has needed to send out emails regarding adaptation of projects to this
‘unprecedented’ situation, I found myself repeatedly using the word, and at
the same time questioning it. It was a convenient adjective and yet as I
used it I knew I was being lazy, and trying to sound officious, or
something, and that it was actually inaccurate. I mean, everything has
precedents, surely?  (Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 and the yellow fever
outbreaks of the 18th century for example)

but it’s probably fair to say Coronavirus Outbreak's Impact on Airlines is

Re: [NetBehaviour] Max, Genius and 2020 again

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

So, Max, another less arsey and highly idealistic thought I had about
genius and 2020:
2020’s lockdown means many who spend their lives doing everyday jobs with
little interest or enthusiasm, may now have the time and opportunity to be
creative and and express their own genius. And show that we are all
geniuses (genii?) in our own ways.

Also, The Noemata Undocumented Events exhibition is Genius. And it’s 2020

Re: Max and Alan, Genius and 2020

'Genius' and the 'year 2020' are connected because they are meaningless
definitions,
aiding our navigation of pre-agreed structures and systems.

“That is genius!” Is a way ‘genius’ can be used that you might hate less,
Alan.

Re: [NetBehaviour] How is everyone

[Danielle Imara via NetBehaviour]

Here in London
UK was late in its lockdown. People finally, for the most part paying
attention. Many getting angry with those that aren't taking care.
I called a friend on the phone in NY and she couldn't breathe. She went to
hospital and was told they couldn't treat her unless she needed immediate
intubation. They said they think everyone in NY has the virus or is
carrying it.
Have formed an online communication with a small circle of old friends most
of whom live alone. This is leading to immediate creative use of ZOOM,
collaborative projects and sharing in new ways. This has become important.
Am concerned that people are too screen based though and not taking
advantage of this opportunity to experience themselves in quiet.
No planes passing.

Re: [NetBehaviour] book ends black exits

Some brief comments on you rmessage:

"given the difficult state of the planet does it make any sense to try to
formulate a new theory and practice of the aesthetic to help compensate or
ameliorate the crises, as has sometimes occurred for humanity in times of
drastic change?  Or, would such attempts at "theories," "practices,"
"formulations," and "newness" all be ill-advised meddling in the natural
flow of things and lives?"

*We and our ideas are part of the 'natural flow of things'. Go for it. *
*However, theorising lacks the immediacy of doing.*

"i note, among students in my theatre groups, on race and inequality; some
have objected to the attention awarded to Greta Thunberg, and proposed a
"deblanchiment" of climate protest."

*I get that Ms Thunberg gets a lot of attention and she is blanche of skin.
And this is not the time for divisionism. Everyone has the opportunity to
join in and also lead these movements for change.  The point of XR is that
it has decentralised 'leadership'.*

*Love,*
