[spectre] Emergences festival | 29, 30 sept. and 1st oct. 2006
Emergences festival new artistic forms and new media Sept. 29th till Oct.1st 2006 Maison de la Villette / Performances | Concerts | Installations | Shows /// Conferences | Works in progress /// International festival dedicated to electronic cultures and emerging artistic forms, Emergences brings together, every year in Paris, French and international actors in digital creation (cultural centers, art groups, research labs, multimedia production firms...) all gathered around a prolific and international artistic program at the crossroad between performing & visual arts, multimedia, design, architecture and electronic music. This fourth edition of the festival asks the question of artistic diversion of everyday objects by invinting artists to express their position vis-à-vis the market place of the information society (video game consoles, cell phoning, GPS, web services, videoconferencing...) and especialy the video game culture. The program is revolves around evening events at la Maison de la Villette: shows, music lives, performances, animated films inspired by video games and twisting their codes and esthetics; around an artistic process dedicated to the "Game art" which will spread from la Maison de la Villette to the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie thus connecting the two spaces. At daytime, conferences and works in progress are going to supplement this artistic programming. Lastly, somewhere between Paris and Strasbourg, Emergences is once again getting off its territorial borders to develop arty ties with its partner "Les Nuits Electroniques de l'Ososphère", a festival in Strasbourg which takes place over the same period: simultaneously program network creations and performances, numerical experiments, live retransmissions and ephemeral radio in the two events. All in all, they are more than 30 artists who are to participate to this new edition of Emergences : Marcel.lí Antúnez Roca, Marnix de Nijs, Yan Duyvendak, //fur///, Habbo Hotel, MEC (Motards En Colère), the art group Exyzt,... http://www.festival-emergences.info http://www.dedale.info Best regards, Dedales team Emergences festival is organized by Dedale and funded by the French Ministry of Culture, the « Région Ile-de-France » and the city of Paris. __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre

There are several flavors of grey areas: ▪ A grey area of definitions signifies a problem of sorting reality into clearly cut categories. Example: where is the border between erotica and pornography? ▪ A grey area of law is an area where no clear law or precedent exists, or where the law has not been applied in a long time thus making it unclear if it is applicable at all. ▪ A grey area of ethics signifies an ethical dilemma, where the border between right and wrong is blurred. Example: is killing always abominable? Grey areas are widely accepted in democratic societies and have a clear connection to the notion of tolerance, whereas in societies of totalitarianism, grey areas are typically not accepted on any level. Many people accept grey areas as a natural part of the human experience, whereas others may react with suspicion and a feeling of defectness or uncompleteness of any thought-system (or paradigm) accepting grey areas. __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre

[spectre] Hyperyarn: a conceptual artware overcoded in 20 minutes during ISEA2006 by criticalartware + friends
# ANNOUNCEMENT:
Hyperyarn, a conceptual artware, will be overcoded by criticalartware
core.developers in 20 minutes during ISEA2006!
criticalartware core.developers based in Chicago IL .US are
participating in ISEA2006 in San Jose CA .US via the re:mote program
curated by Adam Hyde with an 'overcoded' [presentation/performance].
join criticalartware to collaboratively overcode the Open Source
Hyperyarn artware application during this 20 minute artware
development session:
http://hyperyarn.criticalartware.net
[+/or] just view the source tree grow as script kittens get stuck
climbing in these branching metastructures:

Enjoy extreme programming style collaborative codeworking, discursive
hyperactivity + deeply self-referential intertwingularity in this
experimental Multi-Protocol Realtime Communication Client Server
Application + Live Coding Environment!
Hyperyarn will be overcoded on FRI 2006.08.11 @ 3 PM PDT (Pacific

# SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Hyperyarn: A Multi-Protocol Realtime Communication Client Server
Application + Live Coding Environment
Hyperyarn is a conceptual artware project by criticalartware
functioning as an Open Source experimental Multi-Protocol Realtime
Communication Client Server Application + Live Coding Environment.
Inspired by + intertwingled with Ted Nelson's Xanadu system + Marcel
Duchamp's Mile of String project, Hyperyarn hopes to entangle script
kitties in playful games of pseudo-codes, self-recursive systems,
extreme programming, realtime data processing + collaborative
exchange. Enabling + decentralizing discourse, Hyperyarn facilitates
realtime communication on a distributed network between client/server
applications. These applications, otherwise known as criticalartware
core.developers, will collectively improvise live codework,
discursive hyperactivity + extreme programming of Open Source artware
systems. criticalartware presents Hyperyarn within the ISEA2006
re:mote program during criticalartware's "overcoded: live codework,
artware discussion + hyperweaving session" [performance/
presentation]. As a Live Coding Environment, Hyperyarn includes a
self-modifying source code editor, compiler, virtual machine +
debugger with network support for collaborative + performative
programming projects. Hyperyarn is written in Hyperyarn to increase
self-reflexivity + recursiveness. Allowing users to connect through
insecure proxies during live coding sessions, Hyperyarn further
complicates + problematizes assumptions + foregrounds conceptual
artware instability, temporality + speculativity. Hyperyarn provides
cross platform support for human computers, computational systems +
mobile devices + is released under the GNU GPL.

// start coding: 2006.08.11 13:00 PM CST
// end coding: 2006.08.11 13:20 PM CST
Hyperyarn is a conceptual artware project by criticalartware
functioning as an Open Source experimental Multi-Protocol Realtime
Communication Client Server Application + Live Coding Environment.
Hyperyarn is inspired by + intertwingled with ideas such as Ted
Nelson's speculative Xanadu systems + Marcel Duchamp's Mile of String
project. Hyperyarn hopes to variously entangle script kitties across
multiple interwoven {ports|paths} including runme.org, _arc.hive_,
Rhizome.org + other ports in playful pseudo-codes, self-recursive
systems, extreme programming, realtime data processing +
collaborative exchange. Enabling + decentralizing discourse,
Hyperyarn facilitates realtime communication on a distributed network
between client/server applications. These applications, otherwise
known as criticalartware core.developers, will utilize Hyperyarn's
encrypted modes (including 1337 speak, artspeak, Jargon Files,
critical discourse + Hyperyarn source codes) to collectively
improvise live codework, discursive hyperactivity + extreme
programming of Open Source artware systems. As a conceptual artware
project, Hyperyarn is {actualized|activated} through the process of
it's own articulation + documentation of the conversational exchanges
that constitute this open artware system.
criticalartware presents Hyperyarn within the ISEA2006 re:mote
program during criticalartware's "overcoded: live codework, artware
discussion + hyperweaving session" [performance/presentation]. during
"overcoded" criticalartware core.developers engage multiple
discursive modalities simultaneously in an open cacophonious jam,
improvising collaborative strategies of live codework,
