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?

applications, the resultant digital content and the visibility of the
applications to a global audience.
The WSA results in a global showcase of 40 outstanding projects, in

the benefits of information and communication technology for the
development of communities and society at large.

Douglas or someone: save me wading through the legislation, would you: what is section 92?

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.

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.

Council for the Arts http://www.ozco.gov.au its arts funding and
advisory body, by the South Australian Government through Arts SA
