lca 2006 digital art miniconf

by Douglas Bagnall

hi everyone, Way back in February[1] we talked about attaching a digital art mini-conference to next year's Linux Conference Australia[2], which, despite the name, will be held in Dunedin. [1]http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/ada_list/2005-February/000798.html [2]http://lca2006.linux.org.au/ Now the organisers are getting around to wanting a more definite pitch. Before I attempt any hard work, I want to check whether people here are still interested. We had the following vague proposals (apologies if I missed any): Julian: [http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/ada_list/2005-February/000800.html] > how about an open-source tools for new-media artists workshop? > a suite of free and open-soure tools i enjoy teaching to beginners; > Blender (mesh-modelling, rendering to film, animation > (skeletal/track/constraint), 3D game engines (real-time 3D, use of > game-engines for VJ'ing), Pure Data (number shaping, event > processing, DSP overview), Python (the artists' swiss-army knife). Helen: [http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/ada_list/2005-February/000801.html] > i have no idea what i'll be doing in january but i'm sure between me > & various others we could work up an upstage element to such a > programme (also upstage has been picked up by european linux types & > is being written up in the american linux journal & has a chapter in > linux-tag proceedings so there may well be interest from other linux > people). Michelle: [http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/ada_list/2005-February/000815.html] > a show of Linux works could be hosted/curated by Window online > parallel to the conf. Also both radioqualia offered enthusiasm and ideas, while Caro thought she might be able to help with on-the-ground stuff. Is anyone still keen? douglas

UpStage Open Session & Improv - 7 September

by Helen Varley Jamieson

The next open session in UpStage will take place on Wednesday 7 September at the times below. This time we will divide into two groups, with a beginners' session happening on the Introduction stage while those who've already learned the basics will go to another stage to improvise a short performance for an hour. In the second hour, we will invite everyone to watch and interact with the performance. Wednesday 7 September: California: 2am New York: 5am UK: 10am Western Europe: 11am Finland: 12 noon Australia (NSW/QLD): 7pm Aotearoa NZ: 9pm Check http://www.worldtimeserver.com/ for your local times. If you want to come and learn, email me for a log-in. come to http://upstage.org.nz:8081/ to log in, then follow the link in the top right hand corner to the Introduction stage. If you want to come & improvise a performance, you still need to email me (in case we run into double-ups with guest log-ins) & we'll also meet at the introduction stage, then move to another stage to work. I'm proposing the theme of "water" as a starting point (given recent floods in Europe & the global problem of the growing lack of fresh water in the world) so you can think about backdrops & avatars that relate to that theme. If you upload any graphics, assign them to the Virtual Tourist stage & we'll use this one for the improv. If you'd just like to come to watch the performance, you don't need to log in. Come to the Introduction stage (http://upstage.org.nz:8081/stages/presentation) towards the end of the first hour of the session, & when the performers are ready you will be led through to another stage. Any questions, email me, & i hope to see you next week. h : ) -- ____________________________________________________________ helen varley jamieson: creative catalyst helen(a)creative-catalyst.com http://www.creative-catalyst.com http://www.avatarbodycollision.org http://www.writerfind.com/hjamieson.htm ____________________________________________________________

Does anyone have a picture of the Poly computer

by Tony Thompson

Hi all, I'm new to this list. I see some people on the list are active talking about the NZ educational computer called Poly. Does anyone have a picture of it? I saw one in college once when they were demo'ing it. The school eventually got C64's - cheaper. I'm really interested in seeing a picture of one and if possible buying one for my collection of old computers. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Cheers, Tony Thompson

cfp UNESCO digital art awards

by Sean Cubitt

Call for participation: UNESCO Digital Arts Award 2005 Young artists from around the world are invited to take part in this year's award devoted to the theme of "Cities and creative media". Organized in collaboration with Art Center Nabi, the Award would be delivered to non-realized project proposals in order to embrace a wider audience of creators, who have the innovative artistic ideas but not necessarily the means. The call specifically aims at encouraging young emerging artists to cultivate new forms of expressions using new media and technology in reflecting on how urban spaces and city environments could be transformed into creative outlets. The submission deadline is 14 September 2005. All project proposals should be submitted online at the official website of submission (http://www.nabi.or.kr/unesco_award), where participants will also be able to find further detailed information (description of sub-themes, general guidelines, submission criteria, etc). All submissions should be in English. The total prize money is US $10,000, which would be divided into and given to more than one laureate, in some cases a group of artists. In addition, the Nabi center (Seoul, Republic of Korea) is organizing a "special honorary mention" category to the Award, targeting realized projects that could be re-embodied within the urban context of the city Seoul. The award-winning projects would be selected by an international jury, assembled on this occasion representing the five geo-cultural regions (Africa, Arab States, Asia/Pacific, Europe/North America, and Latin America/Caribbean).
