INAUDIO: John Lyall
Sunday 5 March 1pm
Auckland Art Gallery - New Gallery
WOLFGANG LAIB
(Entry fee)
On the last day of the Wolfgang Laib exhibition, artist John Lyall will respond to Laib's interest in seasons and cycles, sifting sound in a similar manner to Laib sifting pollen, and evolving the work into a full ecology of distilled audio in 12 movements.
The depiction of nature is a central theme in much of Lyall's work, which spans the disciplines of sculpture, photography, performance and sound. Last year he appeared in the Nine Dragon Heads environmental art symposium in Korea, and featured in the Artspace exhibition Uncanny: The unnaturally strange. His work featured in the inaugural Auckland Triennial, Bright Paradise, in 2001, he performed in Artspace's inaugural Sound/Watch festival in 1989 and again in 1992. He represented New Zealand at Soundculture, Tokyo in 1993 and, for the 1999 Auckland instalment of Soundculture, Lyall presented his cyber-opera, Requiem for Electronic Moa. He is co-author of the books Putting Our Town on the Map (1995) and The Accelerated Sublime (2002) and has published numerous articles and chapters in international journals and books.

Wolfgang Laib
10 December 2005 - 5 March 2006
Wolfgang Laib likes to retreat from worldly affairs, limiting his dealings solely to nature. Nature is the point of departure for his work. He seeks the motifs for his art from the natural world, creating beautiful installations using pollen, milk, beeswax, marble, rice, and sealing wax. He lives and works embedded in the seasons: gathering materials outdoors when the dandelions, hazelnut, and pines are blooming and in winter working in his studio where he polishes marble for his milk stones.

heyho
I am after a favour form some Ak based resident. Luka Princic has just
finished the first low-res van residency and he is leaving next week.
>From what I can tell he had a wonderful time :)
So, he leaves on Wednesday and the next time the van is used is by me in
June. Is there anyone near Ak that has a spot to park the van potentially
till June. Its likely that it will be a shorter time as I am waiting to
hear from a friend that may look after it but shes on the road at the
moment and I (typically) left it too late to sort out. Additonally, if
this doesnt work out Heath Bunting may still be coming (or another low-res
resident) and would take the van off your hands earlier.
Anyone have the space where my lovely van can sit for a few weeks, or till
june?
I can trade some good bottles of vino in return :)

it takes a bit to see past the 'coolness' factor (tip, turn off the sound) but
i like the way images were resized and windows were navigated through. i can
see myself being quicker and more accurate using one of these.

hey
i just got a request from a friend (Gerbrand) in the Netherlands. he runs a tactical media outfit, and one of his employees is coming to nz mid march for a year.
Gerbrand wanted to know if I knew of any jobs for a 19 year old computer geek. He said minimal paying jobs were ok, which I guess means that Paul (the chap coming
to nz) just wants something to bring in a little money to survive for a while. Does anyone on the list need a geek for hire? perhaps for a new media project that
you've always wanted to do and just now decided you'd only do it if you could find a cheap programmer...
if there is anyone in this kind of position let me know and I will get more details about this chap and forward them for your leisurely reading
anyone goto Lukas PD workshop? any feedback to the list on it?
:)

New on The Hyperliterature Exchange for February 2006: my review of "The Syllabary", a work-in-progress by Peter McCarey, which maps all the monosyllabic words in the English/Scottish language onto a huge grid, and will eventually include a short poem for every one of them.
"Whatever its merits or demerits as a piece of new media, The Syllabary undoubtedly succeeds as a piece of writing. The originality of its concept and the 'sound poem' of monosyllables would make it worth a visit by themselves: but what makes it worth going back to time after time is the unfailingly high quality of the little poems it contains..."

Hey . all's
Still buzzing on Creative Commons .. well there are a whole bunch
of links below to net labels lapping up the CC vibe.
Otherwise . get the show (speakeasy) . have a listen ' ..
... typical Turnstyle sounds . lost in dubs ' breaking the breaks and
a excursion into the grind ' but keeping the melodic flowing ..
Net casting is an interesting device ' that remains squarely in the
"heaps of potential" box.
I am subscribed to quite a few ' from Tech Talks ' to music mixes
even poetry reading ..
Most interesting are the video blog's .. cool watching the edge as people
begin to release short films ' books ' visual works . through podcasting
and other downloading techniques.
Interestingly itunes ' has started to make TV shows available ' through
their music store. (blah!)
The advantage is still strong for indy media & art to utilize the digital
medium for distribution of works.
However the pipes are filling up fast with home video bloopers ' and
coast to coast white boy rap competitions .. ?!
Meanwhile locally . I'm just fleshing out my interesting in electronic
music, Creative Commons .. and the ability to interact in a global
scene from my bedroom.
enjoy

2006 FALL AAAI SYMPOSIUM
October 12-15, 2006, at the Hyatt Crystal City in Arlington, VA
INTERACTION AND EMERGENT PHENOMENA IN SOCIETIES OF AGENTS
http://pages.towson.edu/gtrajkov/FSS2006
Whereas multiagent systems have been extremely helpful in solving engineering problems, much of what we find exciting lies in their applications to contemporary human life. In particular, the focus of this meeting will be on self-constituting systems and networks composed of human and non-human agents characteristic of emergent cyber cultures, including e-commerce, e-learning as well as other human/non-human agent systems in medicine, law, science and online interactions of all kinds. It represents an opportunity not only to share insights and experiments in multiagent systems composed of robot- and software agents, but to theorize hybridity formed at the junction of the human- and non-human.
Multiagent systems, we submit, cross-disciplinary boundaries by focusing on society and culture as emerging from the interactions of autonomous agents. Poised at the intersection of AI, cybernetics, sociology, semiotics and anthropology, this strand of multiagent systems research enables a powerful perspective illuminating not only how we live and learn now, but also, through focusing on emergence, how we anticipate the future.
Moreover, by convening this interdisciplinary symposium, we hope to form new network assemblages of variegated agents of researchers and their techniques out of which may arise new perspectives on heretofore parochial questions in our respective disciplines. From here, there are manifold policy implications: multiagent systems research, we believe, can be a powerful reagent, interrogating the teleological, emergentist assumptions underlying, for example, the adoption and institutionalization of IT in universities, businesses, hospitals and NGOs, and suggesting other, networked possibilities.
Key questions:
-Emergence of pre-linguistic concepts
-Emergence of shared representations
-Emergence of meaning and language
-How can we characterize the fungible, shifting networks created by human and non-human agents?
-How do the environment and the society influence the individual agent and vice versa?
-What are the knowledges, translations or other hierarchies that emerge in such settings?
-What tools do we use in these explorations?
-Are emergent phenomena surprising? If so, to whom? And what effects might such surprise register in a system composed of agents, phenomena and observer?
-Are they surprising to the agent?
-How do these phenomena reflect on the off and on-line societies?

The project ³Seven sisters² is part of the exhibition ³Silicon chips are
made of sand² at the Quay Gallery in Wanganui New Zealand, by Ian M
Clothier. The work has two parts - website and installation. The
installation involves the display of seven symbolic forms in the gallery.
The audience can participate in the art work by filling in an online form.
³Seven sisters² maps a personal response to the notion of seven sisters - a
subject that has reference points in Hong Kong, China, Australia, Hawaii,
USA, Scotland, India and Greece, and includes subject areas such as
astrology, geology, geometry, gender issues, gay rights, DNA and music, to
name just a few. This seven sisters project engages with these
interconnections and locates a place for audience interconnection the
audience determines the sequence of symbols displayed in the gallery. Please
go to the website and fill out the selection form. The show opens this
Friday, 24th of February at 5pm, so responses must be lodged by that date.
