at second glance


at second glance

Most persistence of vision projects I have seen involve moving a strip of leds fast enough that our eye perceives it to be an image. Make magazine has covered many projects of this type.

Jens Wunderling, a student of the Digital Media Class at UDK Berlin, has created at second glance, an alternative approach to POV. Instead of moving the LEDs, Wunderling has them fixed in position, but plays with saccades (our eyes never look straight, but always make fast tiny movement around an area).

So if you happen to glance past the work, you may notice something unusual. On second glance, if you shake your head, you will be able to clearly see the symbol. Created as a “guerilla messaging device, made to place hidden critical messages within the abundant medial environment in the city”.

Developed using Arduino and Processing, the source code of which is available on his site, and 32 ultrabright LEDs.

John Cage performs Water Walk


cage.jpg John Cage performing Water Walk on TV game show I've got a secret in 1960, while being set up as something of a freakshow the presenter still goes to great lengths to convince the audience that Cage is 'serious'. Cage handles the occasion with a light touch and a good sense of humour, when the presenter warns Cage that while the audience are nice people ... some of them are going to laugh, is that alright he replies with a winning smile of course I consider laughter preferable to tears.

<nettime-ann> Call for Entries: Gameplay: Video Games in Contemprary Art Practice -- Chicago


Via: Mason Dixon

Call for submissions: Gameplay: Video Games in Contemporary Art Practice

The word gameplay refers to the creative, resistant, or artful manipulation of video games by users. It can be said that "gameplay" relates not only to the strategic, but also emotional framework of play, as it is a unique reflection the individual's meaningful bond to the game itself. According to Sid Meier, a world-renowned designer, a game is a "series of interesting choices." If art can also be considered a "series of interesting choices," what happens when the realms of art and video game intersect?

Around the Coyote is seeking submissions for our July 2007 group show, Gameplay: Video Games in Contemporary Art Practice. For Gameplay, we are looking for artists who use video games in a myriad of ways: Do you use video games or its software to explore your own identity or place in this world? Do you use it politically, as a site of resistance? Do you use it as a tool for interactivity or collaboration with other artists or subjects? Do you see virtual worlds as a site of meaning? Does your video game work result in art objects such as photographs, installations or performances?

If your practice is related to video games, and you would like to be considered for Gameplay: Video Games in Contemporary Art Practice, please apply in accordance with the following application procedures. For questions, please contact jessica@aroundthecoyote.org.

Deadline and Application procedure:
If would like to be considered for this exhibition, please submit the following to the Around the Coyote Gallery no later than May 5, 2007 at 6pm.
1. Digital documentation of each submitted piece - artists can submit a maximum of six images on CD. All submitted images must be of work that is available ...

Art & Media Symposium - First Encounter between latin-america and the iberian peninsula


Dates:
Thu Jun 02, 2005 00:00 - Sat May 28, 2005

SEASON OF ART AND MULTIMEDIA
Art & Media Symposium
First encounter of new tendencies in art and technology between latin-america and the iberian peninsula
http://www.mediatecaonline.net/artemedia/eng/

2, 3 and 4 June

Media art is becoming more and more relevant in the world scene of contemporary art. Creation activity is particularly prolific in the different countries of Latin America, as well as in Spain and Portugal, although the international resounding effects of this strong activity are small.
On the other hand, the contacts and interchanges among the different Latin American countries, as well as among them, Spain and Portugal are minimum.

Under these circumstances and in view of the need to establish an approach and a greater diffusion of the productions and originating agents, we have organized this First Latin American Meeting, which brings together artists, theorists, commissioners and representatives of academic and cultural institutions, that are developing a relevant role in the production, training, comprehension and diffusion of media art.

During the three days of the Symposium, more than 30 experts and artists of the various countries of Latin America, Portugal and Spain will talk, discuss and organize debates, to deal with the most cutting edge subjects related to the latest trends in art and digital technologies, paying special attention to Latin America.

The main objectives of this symposium are to create a first public forum -an unavoidable opportunity to know many of the most important figures that currently stand out, but also some younger proposals and related institutions-, as well as to promote the interchange of ideas and information about the present circumstances of media art in Latin America.

In order to achieve that, apart from the lectures, discussions and debates, the Symposium offers a parallel programme, including exhibitions of media art in Spain, Portugal, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Brazil and Chile.

Every day the Symposium will deal with a specific subject, about which the guest speakers will discuss.

Coordination: Claudia Giannetti, director of MECAD/ESDI.
Coorganized with MECAD/Media Centre d’Art i Disseny d’ESDi (FUNDIT).
In collaboration with Digi-Arts, portal of UNESCO.

PROGRAMME:

Networked Media Environments - Ravensbourne College MA Postgraduate


Deadline:
Fri May 27, 2005 02:51

Ravensbourne College MA Postgraduate Studies Programme

Networked Media Environments

The MA in Networked Media Environments at Ravensbourne College's
Postgraduate Studies programme offers itself as an opportunity for
students to engage with the latest developments in online publishing.
The
one-year full time MA course delivers a balanced course structure
consisting of practical work, technical studies and contemporary studies

and is aimed at making you become a creator of interactive and networked

applications on a wealth of platforms, including internet, mobiles and
interactive television.

The MA programme has subscribed to an Open Source College policy
which means that the use of open source software and licences is
encouraged whenever possible. The NME has created the Networked
Learning Lab, a unique facility where students can create experimental
applications in a Linux environment. Technical teaching introduces you to

key concepts behind the internet and networked information architectures,

before it progresses, according to your individual abilities, deeper into

programming and creative application development.

Latest networked tools such as wikis and web-logs are not only subject of

study but are deeply integrated into the teaching and learning
environment. You will have free webspace for your own web-pages, you
can write your own web-log and use the wiki as a sketchboard and for
group collaborations. You will also participate in the creation of the
Mazine
Online http://mazine.ws, a student led online magazine and Mazine, its
printed equivalent.

The MA core staff team brings together artistic, technical, theoretical
and
economic competency, as well as a working knowledge of current industry
practice and contact networks. The team works focusedly to deliver the
course with a student centred approach which means that your learning
experience is being put at the heart of the attention. You will be
masterminding your own Learning Plan, which contains your research
strategies and your own evaluation of your progress through the year.

The NME is looking for students with a wide variety of backgrounds, from

journalists, photographers and film makers who want to move into online
publishing to people with artistic and social aspirations who want to use

the internet more effectively as an environment for communication and
collaboration. With its emphasis on creation for and within networks the

NME is a unique course in the higher education landscape in the UK. No
other place offers such a cutting edge environment for a year of
learning,
experimenting and innovating in the networked domain.
