Dear ada-ers
This is the email adam was referring to... a bit of a list-cross, cause
i only got around to posting it to the af list last night, so here it
is for those who aren't subscribed to both. And I think a campervan
residency programme is an extremely excellent idea!
Anyway, PD can be used for sound, graphic, and video purposes, so this
could be very useful and enlightening for all...
We will be hosting a small + friendly workshop on making sound with
Pure Data (open source, free, multi-platform, graphical programming
environment) on the weekend of Feb 25 and 26 at the wee home of myself
and Adam Willetts in Freemans Bay, Auckland. It will run from 10am to
5pm each day, and will cost $40 per person for the two days. Our
living room isn't all that big (but it's free!), so numbers will be
restricted to about 5 people.
The workshop will be taught by Slovenian musician Luka Princic, who is
currently touring the North Island in Adam Hyde's palatial camper van.
Luka is an electronic musician and DJ, who has collaborated, performed
with or worked for various and varied artists, researchers, musicians,
theoreticians, from various fields like new media, sound/noise, music,
art, video, film, music for advertising, programing, curating and
writing. And he knows a lot about Linux audio.
There's more about Luka and gigs etc that he's doing in nz, here:
<http://viator.si/nz2006/>
He says that "the workshop will cover an overview of installation
options of Pure Data over three platforms, basic syntax, run-through of
most of objects, how to use help and tutorial patches, overview of
available libraries out in the wild and then some good examples - like
building a very basic granular synthesizer - or basic VJ tool. The rest
is up to playfulness of all."
We can cover all skill levels, as long as you can bring a computer
(preferably a laptop, it can be running linux, OSX, or windows).
So, if you'd like to come and be playful with some data, please email
me asap to reserve a place.
thanks

heyho
i hope all you southern dwellers are truly basking in the sun and
forgetting just how lucky you all are...-15 degrees here in riga and
falling...ouch
just thought i would add something to zitas last post about Luka and the
van..the van is actually owned by both luka and myself and it is now a
residency. Luka and I are opening it up for international artists to use
so they can come see nz, and integrate a little with the local scene on
a
social or practical level...i have spoken with a few ADA-ers off list
and
in person to see if we can get some form of circuit going so that
artists
(curators/theorists/etc) can travel to nz, use the van and then do some
lectures to help pay for the trip. They has been some good support for
this and so its time now to open it up and kick it off. So if you have
an
idea how for a presentation/lecture for those coming through that pays
(even a little bit) then please let me know.
Additionally, can anyone send some feedback about how Su Ballards
presentation went at Transmediale (I just missed it :/ )
also, I have just finshed the first public version of my manual

The National Library of New Zealand has a large chunck of money to build
and maintain the National Digital Heritage Archive. This has a
relationship to recent changes to the copyright act which extended the
concept of legal deposit, to enable them to collect electronic material,
and store, preserve, and provide access to in the future. I don't think
there is any public documentation on this - it seems to be falling under
the umbrella of the NZ Digital Strategy.
What has not been made public is the scope and breadth of the project -
there was some public consultation in 2004 - but I have seen no results.
I belive the "process" stuff will be Gazetted some time before the
collection policy goes into force.
The British Library drive web archiving project is using a variation of
the Pandora toolkit, and I imagine that the NLNZ will also be using
similar tools.
That said relying on that to archive material is probably not the best
idea, and even less is the Internet Archive - who have bits - but for
all its valour has a "odd" relationship to Alexa.comhttp://pages.alexa.com/help/webmasters/ and may get swamped with
petabytes of live recordings of the GravelDead.
That said I have used the internet archive to help reconstruct some
early Physicsroom content (but not the earliest...)
There is an enormous ammount of work happening globably around digital
preservation the NLA gateway http://www.nla.gov.au/padi/ is a good start
- the EU funded Digicult - technolgy challenges for digital culture is
more fun - and more relevent to cultural pursuits.
What will happen when vodaphone ge bored with the hard to find
http://www.vodafone.co.nz/vdaa/
I think for the "stuff" we are talking about it is actually not about
archiving, but collecting and curating.
Maybe what is needed is a funded bucket to put stuff in that can be
kept.

hello,
This is the CfP for a digital arts mini-conference to be held in
Dunedin on the 23rd and 24th of January. It is associated with
Linux Conference Australia 2006, which follows immediately after.
More info at http://halo.gen.nz/lca2006/
As well as papers and stuff, there will be a nighttime concert,
featuring musicians using Linux. If you are such a creature, and
might want to play, please write to lca-digital-arts(a)upstage.org.nz.
Appropriate forwarding is encouraged.
Douglas Bagnall
-------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Participation
The Linux Digital Arts Mini-Conf @ LCA2006 will be held before
linux.conf.au, Australia's national Linux conference, in January 2006
at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.
In keeping with the developer focus of linux.conf.au, this mini-conf
will allow Linux audio, video and arts developers to meet and share
ideas, and also to discuss audio/video-related issues with the
developers of the kernel, networking and desktop systems. For all
users, this will be a great way to see and hear the variety of tools
available. Suggested topic areas include:
* Linux for Digital Audio Workstations and musical instruments
* Video for Linux
* low latency and reliable audio in the Linux kernel and userspace
* Networked & distributed audio-visual applications on Linux
* systems for connecting music, processing and control hardware
* core Linux audio subsystems: Jack, ALSA, LADSPA, etc.
* Linux media frameworks: gstreamer, vlc, xine, etc.
* software synthesis and sequencing applications
* recording, editing and mastering applications
* audio & video file formats and codecs
* streaming and network services for audio and video
* telephony and speech technologies
* multicast video conferencing on Linux
* usability of music and audio applications
* audio & video on Linux devices, e.g. mobile phones, set-top box, IPTV
* audio/video podcasting on Linux
* video editing on Linux
* Linux Radio applications
* Uses of non-standard I/O, e.g. mechanical control, blinkenlights
* Linux games
Presentations must relate to Free and open source software and/or open
standards.
If you would like to present a technical session, please mail a brief
abstract (100-300 words) to lca-digital-arts(a)upstage.org.nz by Monday,
19 December 2005.
Hi again,
this is the abstract for the paper, of course like all abstracts it
will change.
Considering digital arts in New Zealand
Aotearoa Digital Arts is New Zealand’s only digital artist network.
Only three years old, ADA exists both on and off line as a discussion
list and series of symposia. The 70 artists associated with ADA are
engaged in discussions of the nature of digital practice; the ways
that these histories are being recorded and constructed; and the
kinds of relationships that might be emerging across public and
gallery spaces. Within the New Zealand context, it is interesting to
consider how the presence of a strong artists network constructs
digital histories. On one level, the processes and tools suggested by
a number of recent artworks highlight shared concerns with sound,
noise, space and networked culture. However, it is the opening up of
these emergent histories to other methods of formation both inside
and outside the institutions which house them that indicates some
specific differences from other locations. When introducing New
Zealand collective et. al’s computer controlled large scale
industrial installation the fundamental practice to the international
audiences of Venice, curator Gregory Burke wrote “Ultimately the
viewer’s experience will be one of disorientation given that the
fundamental practice juxtaposes conjecture, refutation and opposition
– elements that are the very opposite of fundamentalism.” This paper
takes these ideas of disorientation, conjecture, refutation and
opposition as tools to look at the ways in which ADA and its artists
are constructing digital histories in New Zealand Aotearoa.
