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 ...

URGENT - BEK: Call for support


Dates:
Sun Oct 12, 2003 00:00 - Wed Oct 15, 2003

Subject: URGENT - BEK: Call for support

BEK - Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts might be forced to close down
early next year due to lack of governmental support. For this reason we
call for your support. If you believe that BEK should continue to exist,
please express your support at our web page:

http://www.bek.no

or by sending a mail to demo@bek.no.

HISTORY

BEK - Bergen Centre of Electronic Arts, was found while Bergen, Norway,
was one of 9 cultural cities of Europe 2000. The founding of BEK was part
of a national strategy initiated by The Norwegian Council for Cultural
Affairs to better working conditions for artists working within the field
of new media arts in Norway. BEK is part of the Norwegian Production
Network for Electronic Arts (www.pnek.no). So far The Norwegian Council
for Cultural Affairs has provided most of the financial support for BEK.
The Norwegian Council for Cultural Affairs is not permitted to support
organizations for extended periods, and will not be able to support BEK in
the future. For this reason, we've applied for Governmental support from
2004. The proposed National Budget does not include future support for
BEK. For this reason we now fear that we will be forced to close down
early next year. If so, we believe that one of the strongest current
Norwegian voices on the international art scene will be silenced, causing
a severe setback to artistic exchange between the art community in Norway
and abroad.

ACTIVITY AND INTERNATIONAL PROFILE

BEK hosted the first international workshop dealing with Nato.0+55 in the
summer of 2000, and has been profiled as a valuable resource for artists
in Norway and abroad using live technologies such as Max, MSP, Nato.0+55,
streaming technology, Keystroke/Keyworx, etc. The mailing list /55 was
established when Netochka Nezvanova was thrown of the Max-MSP mailing
list. HC Gilje and Kurt Ralske of 242.pilots first met during the workshop
at BEK. 242.pilots has toured the world as pioneers of real time based
video performance, and the received the Image Award at Transmediale.03
International Media Art Festival in Berlin, February 2003.

The development of "MoB", Linux GNU software for real-time video
processing (mob.bek.no) has been a major project for the last two years.
In November 2003 BEK will host an international conference and festival,
Piksel, of artists/developers working with real-time video on Linux
(www.piksel.no). Piksel will be a valuable opportunity to coordinate
current development of real time video software for Linux around the
world. The workshop was overbooked before we got the opportunity to do a
call for participation.

BEK has been an important part of the Bergen electronic music and
electronica community. Torbjorn Brundtland of Royksopp was doing civil
service at BEK when Royksopp hit the British pop charts in 2001.
Underground artists such as Kaptein Kaliber, Jazzkammer, Alog and
Phonophani have been collaborating with BEK at a number of projects.
Pilota.fm started out as a net radio focusing on electronic and
contemporary music. The Trollofon concerts on a vintage trolley bus has
hosted artists such as Phonophani, Oval, Alog, Pita, Kim Hiortoy, Tujiko
Noriko, Maja Ratkje, Massimo and Fennesz. The concerts are available for
download as mp3 at Pilota.fm. The Pilota project also caused the
Municipality of Bergen to continue supporting the use of trolley buses in
Bergen two years ago. BEK also hosts another net radio focusing on the
local music scene (www.radiofetthode.no) and the mailing list CsoundTekno.

BEK has been affiliated with the most important Norwegian contemporary
theatre companies, such as BAK-truppen (www.baktruppen.org) and
Verdensteatret (www.verdensteatret.com). BEK has been involved in the
production of a number of short movies. The short movie "Love is the Law"
was presented as part of Semaine Internationale de la Critique at the
Cannes Film Festival 2003 and received "Prix Canal + du Meilleur court
metrage" and " Prix de la (Toute) Jeune Critique".

This year BEK is hosting 6 artists and students from abroad, participating
in the NIFCA Media Artist in Residence, Fulbright program, Leonardo da
Vinci EU training programme and other exchange programmes.
