/// SATELLITE VOYEURISM
Hartware MedienKunstVerein at PHOENIX Halle Dortmund, Germany
Workshop Call, July 20 - 22, 2007
The Workshop Satellite Voyeurism" addresses
questions of production and reception of
satellite images. In addition to public lectures
by international media artists, committed
scientists and commercial companies'
representatives of the regions' geo-data
industry, a two day workshop program with up to
12 participants takes place. Within the hands-on
part the participants learn how to use a simple
antenna, computer, soundcard combination to
retrieve satellite images of NOAA satellites, and
share own ideas and projects with the other
participants. Both lectures and workshop discuss
the image quality of satellite images but of
course the subject will also touch upon the field
of locative media, as GPS, GIS.
Through the workshop the basis for a publication
shall be created, which includes documentation
about recent media art projects in the field of
mapping, satellite images and satellite
technology.
The workshop is open to 12 participants.
Participants will get free accommodation and
depending on the distance we can partly support
the travel costs. There is no workshop fee. With
the participation in the workshop the
participants agree to actively support the
production of a documentation (deadline for texts
