Another submission we could make: CNZ strategic plan

by Douglas Bagnall

So this one is really boring. I mean, "Creative New Zealand Strategic Plan" -- any one of these words would send you to sleep by itself. I won't be surprised if no-one answers. Here's the link http://www.creativenz.govt.nz/WhatWeDo/StrategicPlan/StrategicPlanPublicCon… but don't look. It's boring. It is better that we have an uninformed and interesting debate. Supposing we did submit something, what should we say? The obvious and expected tactic would be to notify them of our unrecognised brilliance and diversity, of the exceptional art experiences that we offer New Zealand and International Audiences, of the warm glow they will feel from seeing our well-funded, important, edgy work rise up on the world stage and represent the wise, culturally aware, courageous CNZ. But we will be cunning, and carefully frame it in such a way that we don't look like greedy sycophants. We don't like money, but we will accept it for the good of the nation. We will also not mention that they are funding our rivals to make crap, nor that they are a bunch of conservative retards, nor anything else at all that might sound disparaging of bureaucrats or strategic plans. That would be expected, and it would probably be wise. Perhaps accurate. But it also sets up the temptation to do the opposite, to scream and yell, and let them know that they have no idea about anything. They are at best irrelevant, we'd say. They should disband and give the money back to the paupers who bought lotto tickets. Then, of course, there's an expanse of middle ground, where we outline the areas about which they have no clue, and try to tell them how they could do better. Most likely they would like to. Which brings us back to: what should they do, actually? Personally, I have few ideas at the moment. That's mainly because it is one in the morning, but also because I haven't had much to do with them for a while. The paperwork is not worth it for the piddly amounts I apply for: I do better just getting a job for the days that I would spend writing proposals and aquittals, and I don't get bound up in the kinds of idiotic commitments I put in funding proposals, nor do I have to wait at the letterbox to know what I'll be doing over the next six months. But you lot will have ideas. Douglas

A new list for those interested in copyright. Also a chance to practice your Spanish, if you wish. http://copysouth.org/mailman/listinfo/copysouth_copysouth.org douglas -------- Original Message -------- Subject: <nettime> Check out this network: CopySouth Resent-Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:03:14 +0200 Resent-From: nettime(a)kein.org Resent-To: Nettime <nettime-l(a)kein.org> Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2009 04:36:32 +0530 From: Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरोनया] فريدريك نورونيا <fred(a)bytesforall.org> To: nettime-l(a)kein.org References: <8ea78e010909281604r29a05a10y65859105d43fb08e(a)mail.gmail.com> <8ea78e010909281605g15273066k455ae38b628d64a3(a)mail.gmail.com> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: A.C.Story <A.C.Story(a)kent.ac.uk> Date: 2009/9/27 Subject: [CopySouth] Breaking the ice / Rompiendo el hielo To: "copysouth(a)copysouth.org" <copysouth(a)copysouth.org> Cc: "acs3(a)kent.ac.uk" <A.C.Story(a)kent.ac.uk> First in English, luego en español Someone has to “break the ice” on a new list and so I will. Debbie Halbert, one of the list’s two moderators, has just told me that we now have 67 people on this list. They are from many countries and from six continents; if you know anybody from Antarctica, we will have them all. So we have a good potential to open up a valuable discussion and debate about the issues that concern this list. What are these issues? They are copyright and related issues in the global South. To be clear: we are interested in FAR MORE than copyright law. We want to get into a whole range of questions such as cultural diversity, who benefits from the copyright system, and how this oppressive system stops us from communicating with each other, sharing what we know, and learning from others. And we also want to figure out ways that we can work together. That work may be researching the above questions and others or it may be taking practical action. BOTH are badly needed. Just a few introductory comments: a) Some of us on this new list know each other and some of us do not. So in your FIRST POST to the list, can you include one or two sentences about who you are. In this spirit, let me say: My name is Alan Story. I live in Whitstable in the United Kingdom and I teach intellectual property law at the University of Kent. I have been in CopySouth for a number of years. b) All posts to the list should be sent in at least English and Spanish. How to translate your message into other language? Do it yourself or use one of the online translators, such as: http://translate.google.com/translate_t#<http://translate.google.com/translate_t> http://www.online-translator.com/text_Translation.aspx http://www.euroresidentes.com/translation/spanish_english_translation.htm If you speak and write in another language, such as Portuguese or Urdu, please translate it twice. Machine translation is far from perfect. But it does allow a certain level of communications between people who speak different languages. The first CopySouth list used such machine translation for more than 12 months. We had very few problems. A multi-language list respects the languages of its members and allows a type of global communications which very few lists permit. A few tips for the best possible translation: 1) Keep the sentences shorter than normal. 2) Keep the sentence structure simpler than normal; sentences with two or three clauses tend to blow the computer’s brain; 3) Before sending your original message to the translation machine, check it for spelling mistakes and typographical errors. c) The value of an e-mail list is almost entirely dependent on the quality of the messages sent in to it and the quality of the debate that occurs. We have high hopes for the value of this list. d) Pay a visit to our new website, www.copysouth.org<http://www.copysouth.org/> <http://www.copysouth.org/> .With the assistance of others, it was created by Fatima Lasay of CopySouth, another one of the moderators of this list, and it was opened up just last week. Pass on this link to friends and colleagues. And also consider posting your own article or suggesting good articles written by others. I have some things I want to say about the subject of copyright piracy. But I will wait for another day. It is now your turn. Best wishes Alan zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. En primer lugar, en Inglés, luego en español: Alguien tiene que hacerlo? Romper el hielo? en una nueva lista y así lo haré. Debbie Halbert, uno de la lista? S dos moderadores, me acaba de decir que ahora tenemos a 67 personas en esta lista. Son de muchos países y de seis continentes, si conoces a alguien de la Antártida, tendremos a todos. Así que tenemos un buen potencial para abrir una valiosa discusión y el debate sobre las cuestiones que esta lista de preocupación. ¿Cuáles son estos problemas? Son los derechos de autor y cuestiones conexas en el Sur global. Para ser claro: nos interesa mucho más que el derecho de autor. Queremos llegar a toda una serie de cuestiones tales como la diversidad cultural, que se beneficia del sistema de derechos de autor, y cómo este sistema de opresión que nos impide comunicar unos con otros, compartir lo que sabemos, y aprender de otros. Y también queremos encontrar formas de que podemos trabajar juntos. Esa labor puede ser la investigación de las preguntas anteriores y otros o puede ser la adopción de medidas prácticas. Ambos son muy necesarios. Sólo unas pocas observaciones de introducción: a) Algunas de nosotros en esta nueva lista se conocen entre sí y algunos de nosotros no. Así que en su primer mensaje a la lista, se puede incluir una o dos frases acerca de quién es usted. En este espíritu, quiero decir: Mi nombre es Alan Story. Yo vivo en Whitstable en el Reino Unido y la enseñanza del derecho de propiedad intelectual en la Universidad de Kent. He estado en CopySouth para un número de años. b) Todos los puestos de la lista debe ser enviada por lo menos en Inglés y Español. ¿Cómo traducir su mensaje en otro idioma? Hágalo usted mismo o utilizar uno de los traductores en línea, tales como: http://translate.google.com/translate_t # http://www.online-translator.com/text_Translation.aspx http://www.euroresidentes.com/translation/spanish_english_translation.htm Si hablar y escribir en otro idioma, como el portugués o el urdu, por favor traduce en dos ocasiones. La traducción automática no es perfecta. Sin embargo, sí permite un cierto nivel de comunicaciones entre personas que hablan idiomas diferentes. La lista CopySouth utilizó por primera vez la traducción automática como por más de 12 meses. Hemos tenido muy pocos problemas. Una lista de varios idiomas respeta los idiomas de sus miembros y permite un tipo de comunicación global que enumera muy pocos permisos. Algunos consejos para la mejor traducción posible: 1) Mantener las frases más cortas de lo normal. 2) Mantener la estructura más simple frase que lo normal; frases con dos o tres cláusulas tienden a soplar el equipo? S del cerebro; 3) Antes de enviar el mensaje original a la máquina de traducción, compruebe que no faltas de ortografía y errores tipográficos. c) El valor de una lista de correo electrónico es casi totalmente dependiente de la calidad de los mensajes enviados a la misma y la calidad del debate que se produce. Tenemos grandes esperanzas en el valor de esta lista. d) Pagar una visita a nuestra nueva página web, www.copysouth.org. Con la ayuda de otros, fue creado por Fatima Lasay de CopySouth, otro de los moderadores de esta lista, y se abrió la semana pasada. Pase en este enlace a tus amigos y colegas. Y también considerar publicar su propio artículo o sugiriendo buenos artículos escritos por otros. Tengo algunas cosas que quiero decir sobre el tema de la piratería de derechos de autor.

Chris Watson (UK) and PSN Electronic (Dunedin, NZ) @ the DPAG

by alexander mackinnon

Altmusic and the Dunedin Public Art Gallery are very proud to present Chris Watson, for a live multichannel diffusion mix of the pieces 'Midnight at the Oasis' and 'Oceanus pacificus'. Chris Watson is a heavyweight in the avante garde world for his work with field recordings. A founding member of late '70s techno and synth-pop innovators Cabaret Voltaire and, later, ambient-industrial fusioners the Hafler Trio. In something of an odd switch, Watson left the music industry behind in 1985 to work as a sound recordist for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He quickly branched out into production for film and television and has since handled field recording for a number of nature programs and documentaries, including David Attenborough's "The Life of Birds" which won him a BAFTA for best factual sound in 1998. In 1996, after collecting hundreds of hours of location recordings from less accessible regions of the world, Watson returned to music production, releasing his first-ever solo album "Stepping into the Dark", on the Touch label. Actually a compilation of recordings of natural settings spanning from Inverness to Kenya to Venezuela to Cumbria, the release was lauded internationally and received an Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria. His second album "Outside the Circle of Fire" was released in 1998 and "Weather Report" from 2003 was listed amongst the Guardian newspaper's "1000 albums to listen to before you die". In 2006 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Technology degree by the University of the West of England "in recognition of his outstanding contribution to sound recording technology, especially in the field of natural history and documentary location sound" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PSN Electronic: Ten Years of Bad Sleep PSN Electronic (Peter Stapleton, Nathan Thompson and Susan Ballard) explore the alchemical process of turning electricity into sound. Each of their performances is formed through a system of constraint. In this performance the group will improvise with a collection of faulty CDs and processed electronics. The work will make audible the sounds of the technologies used as well as the dislocated messages they transmit, sculpting them into a work that explores sound through electronic and analogue corruption. For this, PSN Electronic will use a collection of CDs originating from a faulty pressing of a Sleep album released in 1999. These CDs will be further damaged making audible the cut and paste aesthetic of packeted information. The piece will last around 40 min. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chris Watson PSN Electronic Dunedin Public Art Gallery Mezzanine 8th October 8pm (Sharp!) $10, $8 with R1 card, student, etc.

ADA AGM Sunday October 11 at 4.30pm

by Stella

Dear Ada members, Our first Annual General Meeting will be held on Sunday October 11, from 4:30 till 6pm. The AGM is the official forum for the board to account for the activities of the ADA Trust, and an opportunity to discuss future activities and plans. All ADA members are welcome to attend, either in person or virtually. A member of ADA is an individual who has been subscribed to the ADA list for at least 6 months who has identified themselves in an email to the list, or in some other contribution to the online archive, or in person at a previous ADA meeting. Because the board and membership of ADA is spread around the country we are going to try to do this in a way that is as distributed and accessible as possible. To this end we will have four physical locations linked via ichat with video, and we will also have an open online chat forum for people who can't make it to one of those locations. The four venues are: Auckland (Starkwhite, Karangahape Road), Wellington (The Southern Cross Hotel), Christchurch (The Physics Room) and Dunedin (Otago Polytechnic School of Art). We will announce details of the chat forum closer to the time. The current board was voted by the membership at a meeting at SCANZ in New Plymouth in 2006. Our role was to gain charitable trust status for ADA, and to develop the role of ADA in supporting digital art in Aotearoa New Zealand. ADA finally became a charitable trust in April 2008. Our trust deed requires that from the first AGM the board's membership be divided evenly between people appointed by the board itself, and those voted by the membership of ADA. There are currently four board members: Zita Joyce (chair), Stella Brennan (Secretary), Su Ballard (treasurer), and Douglas Bagnall. To maintain continuity the three office-holders will remain in place as appointed board positions, and three positions will be opened to voting by the membership. Nominations for those three positions may now be submitted to our returning officer Zoe Drayton (zoe(a)audiofoundation.org.nz). A nomination needs to be accompanied by a 50-word summary of why the person would be a good board member, and each nomination needs a seconder. You may nominate yourself – but you will need someone else to second it! Nominations close on Friday October 9th at 5pm. The nominations will be posted to the list, and voting will be opened after close of the AGM at 6pm on Sunday 11, until 6pm Friday 16 October. To assist in voting for those not able to attend the AGM in person, the minutes and other information about the structure and finances of ADA will be posted on the ADA website within 24 hours of the close of the AGM ********** Aotearoa Digital Arts Trust Founding Trustees: Stella Brennan (Secretary), Douglas Bagnall, Zita Joyce (Chair), Su Ballard (treasurer), Janine Randerson. ********** AGM Agenda *********** 1. Activity Report to 30 Sept 2008 1.1 Cloudland 1.2 The ADA Reader 1.3 Symposium 08, Christchurch 2. Activity Report from 30 Sept 2008 to 11 October 2009 2.1 Symposium 09, Wellington 2.2 ADA/ Physics Room Agreement 3. Financial Statements 4. General Business 5.

Illustrating the Unseeable - Dunedin symposium

by su b

Dear ADA, Although this is intended to be a Dunedin-based event may of you out there might be interested in participating. And yes many of the things we are talking about may be old/new news too ... the point of the symposium is to get people from all over the art/ science continuum from both academia and industry to meet and talk and share. Be great to have some ADA faces there! Illustrating the Unseeable: Reconnecting Art and Science Participants are invited to a one day Symposium hosted by David Green and Susan Ballard, from Electronic Arts section of the School of Art, Dunedin 28 October 2009, School of Art Dunedin. The “Infotainment” industry perpetually hungers for innovation in the popular delivery of scientific visualisations. At the same time developments in computer graphic imaging and computer enhanced media offer uncharted potential for illustrating the unseeable. Even so, at present, key expositional elements for feature film and broadcast media are commonly created by commercial animation studios whose graphic designers primarily reference a cache of pre-existing broadcast and feature film work to solve graphic concept puzzles. We think there is scope for a different kind of engagement between art and science. In a parallel universe – far flung artists, stimulated by the fecund muse of scientific theory explore "lateral" ways to illustrate and embody ground breaking theoretical concepts. Artists are developing new ways to interpret science, creating a rich reservoir of ideas; a vastly extended idiom. Nearly 500 years ago Renaissance artists and scientists illuminated worlds of imagination, theory, function and possibility. With the industrial revolution came the inevitable segregation of art and science toward functional material efficiency driven largely by the trade of the day. But in the twenty-first century economics have irrevocably expanded. Now abstractions and their symbolic expression are traded with the same currency as more “tangible” cargo. As surely as industrial fetishism dictates a schism between art and science, network economics enable a reunion. We view this as an opportune moment to begin a discussion given Dunedin’s rich academic and creative environment. With a focus toward bringing arts practice in touch with the popular dissemination of innovative ideas, through a variety of media conduits - from traditional broadcast to cutting edge graphical interfaces in location based museum installations - Electronic Arts will host a symposium to encourage cross-media and cross-disciplinary connections. Electronic Arts within the School of Art is dedicated to critical research practices in digital and electronic media. Being positioned within a School of Art allows us a unique perspective on digital media and technologies. This symposium will provide a forum for discussions of scientific illustration within our city. A range of invited participants will present short talks addressing scientific illustration as it relates to their research and development focus. Comprised neither of formal papers nor trade pitches, this symposium is intended to stimulate a Dunedin nexus between world and local contemporary arts practice and cutting edge science toward media dissemination. If you would like to be involved, send us a short paragraph indicating how your interests fit to the theme before 10 October 2009. sballard(a)tekotago.ac.nz dgreen(a)tekotago.ac.nz http://www.otagopolytechnic.ac.nz/Schools-departments/art.html
