Re: [NetBehaviour] Mu6ic: Networked Artistic Performance over IPV6

[Kenneth Fields]

Hi Joumana,
I’d be happy to Skype with you and give you a tutorial
on the Artsmesh application, which combines connection logistics,
audio, video, open sound control and network testing tools,
performance score scrolling and sync’d metronome/clocks, 
youtube streaming, etc…

Invitation is for all; anytime.

For dance, you'd utilize open sound control (OSC) to communicate 
across the network to control any interactive aspect of sound, video, 
or device controller. There is a max patch for a Kinect for example,
that tracks body points and sends over the network.

The IPV6 issue is a special problem for me (in China), as IPV4 
is useless here. But you can use Artsmesh on a normal internet2,
university network, or a wide broadband home/commercial network (at least 50M,
up and down). Or more generally and practically, you can simply utilize 
the local network more (different rooms in the same building) and not have 
all those wires going all over the place. Local networks are mostly 1 gbps.
Instead of bringing all my equipment to the performance space now, 
I simply use my school practice studio as control booth for 
routing all the audio/video to the concert hall over ethernet.

IPV6 launch day (2012) apparently happened everywhere but in academia,
which is strictly cost/benefit minded these days - not knowledge/benefit.

See you,
Ken

[NetBehaviour] Things to do

[Pall Thayer]

I was going to see Hawkwind at the Gramercy Theater but it was cancelled
due to "health issues". Now I´m considering getting tickets to see Gary
Numan perform Replicas at the Gramercy Theater. I have tons of work to do
though. Spent the day writing up the syllabus for my course this
semester... Programming for Visual Artists. I'm going to have students read
Kandinsky's "Point and Line to Plane" as we learn about creating visual
artifacts through programming. At the end of the day, I had to play with my
Moog Werkstatt: https://soundcloud.com/pall-thayer/frikkenwerkstatt-session

Hah, that would have been a nice show -- I played 'Spirit of the Age" on my 
first ever radio gig in early 1977 on the Denver 'rock' station KAZY when the 
Quark, Strangeness, & Charm album had just come out -- I was a wet-behind-the 
-ears engineering student ... hope those old rockers are okay!


Your Moog piece was appropriately retro! ;-)

Good idea on the Kandinsky text -- you know Juha Huuskonen from Helsinki - I was 
always impressed when he told me that he was having his programming students 
learn knitting at the UIAH Media Lab...


Oh, and a head's up to the rest of the list -- I'm going to be doing a 
live/online sonic improv performance this coming Saturday 16 January as part of 
this year's global Art's Birthday party -- for details, see:


http://tech-no-mad.net/blog/archives/79869

We'll be on IRC freenode -- chat.freenode.net #artsbirthday for back-channel 
chatting...


Cheers all,

Re: [NetBehaviour] Things to do

[Pall Thayer]

When I lived in Minneapolis, I had the opportunity to see "Nik Turner's
Hawkwind" before he was forbidden by the courts to use the name "Hawkwind".
T'was an amazing show! Around the same time, I also saw Television, which
was also amazing and then I saw King Krimson with Adrian Belew and I was
thoroughly disappointed and have hated him ever since.

I think teaching something like knitting alongside programming is
interesting in a particular way. It exercises algorithmic thinking. But I
think having students read Kandinsky's "Point and Line to Plane" while
learning about points, lines and 2d shapes serves a very different purpose.
Kandinsky's writing is more of a manifesto than a treatise. It represents
the train-of-thought process of an artist discovering something on his own
terms. It's pretty much the opposite of what they'll be learning in
programming but, at the same time, encourages them to think like artists.
Anyway, that's my reasoning. The title of the course is "Programming for
Visual Artists".

I've just ordered an Arturia Microbrute. More analog synth experiments to
follow

[NetBehaviour] Bowie n' stuff...

[marc garrett]

Hi all,

Bowie was an inspiring figure for me as I grew up in the 70s and on-wards,
as well as Punk. His rebellious and imaginative spirit informed me that
life does not have to be the way that the establishment tells us. We own
our own expectations, dreams and futures, and Bowie was a great example of
how it could be done; from his social context, history and conditions. We
live in an age when there is a continual war against our imaginations. Let
his death be a positive reminder that we can indeed take risks, be wild,
love life, and be less conformist than the usual, top-down, market of
blandness which is dictated to all. Let’s rattle a few neo-liberal cages,
and free up things a lot more this year...

wishing you all well.

marc

Love Shark - Kaffe Matthews
Sharks are older than dinosaurs. They have evolved with the planet
developing extraordinary perceptive mechanisms, and have learnt to navigate
in straight lines by tracing the shifts in the earth's magnetic crust at
depths as great as 400m. They are still considered violent aggressors and
continue to be slaughtered in vast numbers just for their fins to make
soup. The truth is that a shark has to be one of the most sophisticated and
beautiful of animals.

Love Shark is a new four channel solo by Kaffe Matthews in which she duets
with 6 oscillators driven by 6 hammerhead sharks whose journeys were
recorded north of Wolf Island, Galapagos April 2009. Matthews dived with,
recorded underwater and filmed hammerheads whilst on a month's residency on
the Galapagos islands 2009. She later worked with shark scientists who gave
her this shark hunting journey data. Her 3D sound installation, You might
come out of the water every time singing has shown in Liverpool, Edinburgh,
Lisbon and the St Pieters Caves, Maastricht.

Software instrument collaboration and programming Adam Parkinson.

[NetBehaviour] "TOTAL TERRORISM SOLUTION" AT EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

[furtherfield]

"TOTAL TERRORISM SOLUTION" AT EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
Hoax highlights failures of military approaches to terrorism

Photos, video, and talk text: www.yeslab.org/parliament
Contact: i...@theyesmen.org

Today in the European Parliament in Brussels, a "defense and security
consultant" (actually Andy Bichlbaum of the Yes Men, working together with
Greek MEP Stelios Kouloglou) (http://yeslab.org/parliament-talk) presented
an "industrial solution to terrorism" which—unlike all other military and
security solutions—is guaranteed to actually work

During the presentation, Bichlbaum described the failures of military
action, drone operations, assassinations, surveillance, and policing to
reduce terrorism in any way—before presenting the "solution" (
http://yeslab.org/parliament-media): a fully-defended orb called the
"ENDURAsphere," that gives well-heeled citizens the ability to outlast any
terrorist attack. The audience, which included media, members of the
public, and several MEPs, asked over 10 minutes' worth of questions.

"This hoax was about highlighting that there really is no solution to
terrorism within the defense and security paradigm," said Bichlbaum.
"Military 'solutions' backfire badly."

Bichlbaum wore a colonial-era moustache (http://yeslab.org/parliament-media).
"Any 'solution' to terrorism that doesn't take colonial history into
account is bound to fail completely," said Bichlbaum. "From the parcelling
of the Middle East after WWI to the invasion of Iraq by the US, there are
reasons things are as they are."

Speaking to press after the event, MEP Kouloglou (
https://www.google.be/search?q=MEP+Stelios+Kouloglou) highlighted some
actual solutions to terrorism. "Bombing is a recruiting tool for ISIS," he
said. "If we want to undermine terrorists, we need to end the war in Syria,
welcome Middle Eastern refugees, and marginalize extremists by establishing
better relationships with moderate forces in Islam. We also need to better
integrate the youth of our most disadvantaged communities."

Today's hoax, part of a Charlie Hebdo commemoration organized by Kouloglou
together with MEP Martin Sonneborn (
https://www.google.be/search?q=MEP+Martin+Sonneborn), represents the first
action of its sort to take place within the European Parliament. It's also
the first time the Yes Men have collaborated with any national
representatives to develop an action.

The Wrong Biennial: The Wrong Project that’s So Right – a metacritique.

The Wrong Biennial, organized by David Quiles Guilló, is possibly the
largest internet-based exhibition to date. Patrick Lichty gives a
