web hosting

by Damian Stewart

hey ada, i was talking yesterday to a semi-famous Austrian net/code artist, about New Zealand artists. i realised a know a lot of artists (in the traditional sense - painting and sculpture and whatnot) but that their work is practically invisible to the rest of the world because most of them don't have any kind of web presence. she was saying that there are a lot of people with money (eg in the US) who would love to have access to a pool of talented artists who are currently undiscovered - and why on earth don't these people have websites? we went on to talk about Austria and the Netherlands - the Austrian scene eg Farmersmanual got a real head-start because of government-sponsored web access - in particular Farmersmanual were offered the use of streaming video technology virtually for free, at a time when this was incredibly expensive; the Dutch used to lead net-art because of the government sponsored XS4ALL service. would a similar thing for NZ artists help gaining international recognition? in an election year, do you think we could convince some party to offer sponsorship of artists websites - covering at least hosting (which would be very, very cheap to implement) and at best web site development for those without web-knowledgeable friends...? thoughts? d -- damian stewart | skype: damiansnz | damian(a)frey.co.nz frey | live art with machines | http://www.frey.co.nz

NZ Open Source Awards 2008; ADA: 1.5 wins, 1.25 runners up.

by Douglas Bagnall

Floss Manuals, i.e. adam, won the "Open Source Use for Community Organisations" award. Someone who wasn't adam collected the award. Matt Holloway won a special prize for the docvert project and general subversive activities. He is an ada-list-member-in-law, so he counts as half a win for us. Te Tuhi Video Game System was a finalist in the "Open Source in Education" category. SOUNZ was a runner up behind Floss Manuals. They exist on the fringes of our sibling group, the Audio Foundation, so they count as quarter a finalist. Someone called Amie McCarron was a finalist for "Open Source Use in Business". She uses free software to make websites that promote NZ artists. I don't think I can tally her up as an ADA triumph, but at least it's topical. The minister, David Cunliffe, announced he would reconsider section 92 of the copyright act, but promised nothing on ACTA. Douglas

Embracing Anode Press Release

by ANAT Communications

Media Release For Immediate Release 23 September 2008 **Embracing Anode** The Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT)'s Embracing Sound Program (ESP) is pleased to be associated with Anode and a presenter of the Field Trip program. There is a long and strong history of the sounds of society and public spaces being the creative intermediary and catalyst for artists. Such creative approaches and observations are attributed to the concept of the 'arts of sound', a broad term that encapsulates the many, varied and constantly evolving practice approaches of sound artists that have emerged this past century. The Field Trip program, which starts in Sydney's Hyde Park and moves audiences through to the Domain Carpark, utilises temporal interventionist approaches to embrace the possibilities of the 'arts of sound' and individual/communal interpretations of public space. Find Anode; a new fringe art event inspired by Node London, Next Wave festival in Melbourne and the inspiring public art interventions of Creative Time in New York. From Thursday 25th to Sunday 28th September, Anode will connect various nodes of practice across Sydney through art, music, excursions, shows and installations. Over 250 artists, musicians and performers will take over galleries, venues, shop front windows, a public car park and bars around the clock in this jam packed, mostly free program. Field Trip is a free subterranean excursion through art and sound, projections, performance, installation, photography, and music. Along the way you'll find artist Jess Cook musing on Sydney, and Token Imagination giving a moving performance. ANAT presents the live improvised sound art of the 20-piece Splinter Orchestra. Check out Perran Costi's Portable City installation, odd travel photography by Alex Crowfoot, take a seat in the pop-up cinema to see animation by Ingrid K Brooker, or hang out at the Bodega crew's car park deck party. Get the full program, maps, tickets and information from http://www.anode.net.au/ Through publications, a web portal, DVD productions and a presence at sound art events, esp supports and encourages our emerging sound artists, promotes and profiles mid-career artists, and acknowledges and celebrates Australian pioneers in sound arts and experimental music. http://esp.anat.org.au/ www.anat.org.au <Ends> ANAT is assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts http://www.ozco.gov.au its arts funding and advisory body, by the South Australian Government through Arts SA http://www.arts.sa.gov.au and the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy, an initiative of the Australian, State and Territory Governments.
