// The Artvertiser source code is now available! //

by Julian Oliver

(Apologies for any cross posting) //--------------------------------------------------------------------------> We take great pleasure in announcing that The Artvertiser source code is now (finally) available, licensed under the GPLv3. Introduction: The Artvertiser is an Improved Reality platform, designed for the live substitution of advertisements in a video stream with alternative 2D content. The code was initially developed by Julian Oliver before being significantly improved by Damian Stewart. A typical application of The Artvertiser at work might be the Product Replacement of street billboards with 2D art using a laptop with webcam or camera-enabled mobile device. You might also want to have your own personal exhibition in the Louvre, substituting well known paintings with your own creations and inviting others to enjoy the show. Counter-propaganda operations are also well suited to the platform, like changing the imagery of a disliked political campaigner before uploading the recorded result for all to see. Alternatively, it can be used to product replace planar images in archival video, like a HollyWood movie or TV advert, using popular films as an 'exhibition surface'. You can see a couple of examples of The Artvertiser at work using our own specially crafted digital binoculars, The Billboard Interception Unit, on the project website: http://theartvertiser.com The Code: The entire project tree exists as a git repository, cloned like so on your local system: git clone git://repo.or.cz/The-Artvertiser.git The code should currently build on any modern Linux-based OS with the addition of a couple of dependencies and - thanks to Damian - should also compile on OS X with the correct prior tweaks in place. See the README file in the top-level directory for more information. A special 'mob' user has been set up allowing complete Read/Write access for anyone at all. Once you've cloned the repository as above, just: git checkout mob .. to move to the mob branch. It's all yours! We look forward to your improvements, forks, derivations and vandalisms. Happy (urban) hacking!

Manifest Dynasty : Media Arts in China 彰显的王朝：新媒体艺术在中国

by Melinda Rackham

-empyre- in November Manifest Dynasty : Media Arts in China 彰显的王朝：新媒体艺术在中国 [Scroll down for Mandarin] It is said that a new Gallery or Museum opens in China every 3 days; Ai Weiwei installs another monumental sculpture across the globe; and 70 million visitors trudge through the World Expo in Shanghai. Three or so centuries after Chinoiserie entered the Western Art Vocabulary, and despite some recent market deflation, China is definitely still IT. Like Chinese contemporary art, media art is flourishing beyond the Great Firewall, and increasingly appearing in the international Media Festival scene. There has been a rush in Western Europe and Australia to introduce regional specific art to China and embrace Chinese cultural exchanges. Whilst the concept of equal exchange beyond the social, political and geographical constraints of a supposed globalised world is problematic in so many ways, the number of new collaborative projects is accelerating. A recent example is 2010 -The Year of Australian Culture in China, where a dizzying array of Opera, Exhibition, Film, Theatre and Dance events were produced and mediatised. Reciprocally, 2011 is The Year of Chinese Culture in Australia. As part of this cultural exchange the DreamWorlds: Australian Moving Image introduced diverse genres of Australian media art to Chinese audiences outside the art gallery context, exhibiting continually on massive urban screens in Beijing and Xi’an. The DreamWorlds project was also designed as catalyst for a more specific exploration of media art in China:- How do exhibitions, symposia or publications decode across cultural sexual and political bounds to Chinese audiences? What are the emergences, frictions and dialogues between artists and curators within contemporary Chinese distributed and digital practices? We welcome you join us at -empyre- in November to engage in critical enquiry, beyond the 20th century spectres of censorship and conservatism, of the complexity of media art production, curation, exhibition and networks in China.

***Last days to contribute room/space recordings***

by Luke Munn

Hey AF and ADAers, (apologies for any cross-posting) Quick note to let you know the deadline for submitting a recording of your work/live space for inclusion into the Big Room online work is 31st of October. We've had some wonderful spaces captured: quietly whispering bedroom studios, droning cockpits, reverberant museum offices, and a wind whipped beach house, amongst others. To contribute, simply record 1 to 3 minutes that capture the 'essence' of your work/live space and submit it here: http://www.thebigidea.co.nz/node/add/the-big-room Alternatively you can simply email me a file, with some basic information such as name and city, or as anonymous as you prefer. For those wanting more specifics, I'm looking for recordings that simply document everyday activity (e.g. footsteps, typing, computer humming, for an office environment), and or recordings that define the space (e.g. near silence for a bedroom, echoic washes for a concrete workshop, etc). Thanks, Luke lukemunn.com you.arehere.eu

SCREENS launches with projects from Seung Yul Oh and William Boling

by Luke Munn

Greetings ADAers, We're pleased to announce the launch of Screens, a new series of commissioned online works running over the next few months. Seung Yul Oh opens the series with ‘Rain’, a playful, chaotic interactive which invites users to germinate an unpredictable kaleidoscope of objects, images, and sounds. http://www.screens.org.nz/seung-yul-oh-rain/ William Bolings 'Marco Polo' is a long duration project, where the US photographer invites participants to post snapshots, memories and moments which are responded to daily - embracing, compiling or ignoring their input into his own. http://www.screens.org.nz/william-boling-marco-polo/ Working at the intersection of art and interactivity, Screens seeks to expand this space by providing curatorial and technical support to artists, to realise works in this new field. We welcome your participation, discussion, and sharing of the series with others. Best, Luke Munn and Jeff Nusz SCREENS screens.org.nz

WE-ARE-MAKING-DIGITAL-ART - PARATISSIMA, TURIN, ITALY

by Ennio Bertrand

(italiano a seguire) *WE-ARE-MAKING-DIGITAL-ART* *PARATISSIMA, TURIN, ITALY* Opening: November 3-7, 2010 c/o Stefilm Via Galliari 5 3: h 21-23 5: h 20-23 6/7: h 10-13/18-23 we-are-making-digital-art.com Program The first exhibition by a group of artists who have been working over a period of years with electronic media in the field of performance art, dance, sound, video and digital light. ____________________________________________________________ *“Hymn” Interactive sound installation by Ennio Bertrand* “Hymn” is a work that is realised through sound. It is an interactive installation managed by a digital automatism that senses the proximity of the hands of visitors – participants, who approach or move away from the symbolic objects exhibited. It is a small personal digital theatre, populated by “magical” concealed actors who echo our creative childhood gestures. The movement of the hands becomes, in real time, associated with one of the ten sounds contained in the computer’s memory. As the hand gradually moves closer to the object, the sound will be played in advance , if the hand stops the sound also ceases. And if the hand withdraws the sound also ‘retreats’ and turns back on itself. A sort of slow motion in sound. The material, the sounds, are phrases freely derived from a part of “Kaddish” by Allen Ginsberg and are automatically repeated by the computer’s voice. Written at the end of the 1950’s Ginsberg’s mournful poem was dedicated to his mother who died in a mental asylum. This work of reinterpretation is a shamanistic and propitious hymn so that poetic writings reappear that enlighten our dark contemporary state. The installation was realised using Theremino, a new digital system that I have just developed for managing the interaction of sound and digital material. ____________________________________________________________ *“Analogical metamorphoses” interactive video installation by fannidada* The analogical metamorphoses by Fannidada are interactive video installations where the public, analogically manipulating the video signal, metamorphose the electronic images that become coloured, kaleidoscopically disintegrating the quality. *To Follow the Bye-ways* To follow the bye-ways can be a way of living. To leave the certain for the uncertain, to search for new visions in everyday life. Two bicycle wheels fixed to a tubular iron structure that supports four monitors, running, analogic metamorphosis that, modifying the colours of the visualised images, offers new images to the spectators. *The suitcase of the Metamorphosis* What is inside the suitcase? tales of the journey, images, sensations but, above all, the pleasure of the surprise is in the unexpected. A suitcase, a monitor, two pre-amplified microphones, a good mix to create a “fantastic” journey. www.fannidada.com ____________________________________________________________ *“Synthesis”, interactive dance performance by Micron* Documentary video of the performance and exhibition of the digital paintings and mixed media created during the show. On stage two performers and SUMI, an interactive system for painting with light, that inspires the SUMI - in the pictorial style of the far east. The technology becomes part of the search in the creation of new forms of expression that confer on the actor the role of a warrior of art, of an art visible, coloured. The dance animates the colour, “ the bodily gesture traces graphic signs sensed and replayed by another body”. Throughout the picture of the mixed media and digital actions one enters into the space, becoming space. ____________________________________________________________ *“Rossore”, Sensible interactive light installation by Pietro Mussini* The system consists of a case that houses the hardware needed to activate the performance. It is made up by leds which have an intermittent, fast, sparse and punctiform effect. Getting closer to the system, the visitor activates a luminous exuberance with a single, strong and saturated tone, which is meant to activate a relationship with the world, with our body, with its extension, space and border, with others, with the materiality of the body, of the hands, of the eyes. The telling of what is happening, of what is expected, comes with the encounter of apparently extraneous bodies that reveal, through a gesture, what is being exposed: seizure of outlines, eyes, interaction of bodies. ____________________________________________________________ www.we-are-making-digital-art.com ITALIANO ____________________________________________________________ *WE-ARE-MAKING-DIGITAL-ART* *PARATISSIMA, TORINO, ITALY* Opertura: Novembre 3-7, 2010 c/o Stefilm Via Galliari 5 3: h 21-23 5: h 20-23 6/7: h 10-13/18-23 we-are-making-digital-art Programma La prima mostra del gruppo di artisti che operano da anni con media elettronici nel campo delle arti performative, danza, suono, video e luci digitali. ____________________________________________________________ *“Hymn”, installazione Sonora interattiva di Ennio Bertrand* Hymn è un lavoro che si manifesta attraverso i suoni. È una installazione interattiva gestita da un automatismo digitale che percepisce la prossimità delle mani dei visitatori-partecipanti che le avvicinano o allontanano da oggetti simbolici esposti. È un piccolo teatro digitale personale, popolato di “magici” attori nascosti che recitano seguendo in nostro infantile gesto creatore. Il movimento della mani viene in tempo reale associato a uno delle decine di suoni contenuti nella memoria del computer. Man mano che la mano procede avvicinandosi all’oggetto, il suono verrà “suonato” in avanti, se la mano si ferma anche il suono si arresta. E se la mano arretra anche il suono torna sui suoi passi suonato alla rovescia. Una sorta di moviola sonora. Il contenuto, i suoni, sono le frasi liberamente tratte da una parte di Kaddish di Allen Ginsberg e rilette automaticamente dalla voce del computer. Scritta alla fine degli anni 50 la disperata poesia di Ginsberg è dedicata alla madre morta in manicomio. Questo lavoro di reinterpretazione è un inno sciamanico e propiziatorio affinché ricompaiano poeti che ci illuminino la nostra buia contemporaneità. L’installazione è realizzata impiegando Theremino, un nuovo sistema digitale che ho appena realizzato per la gestione interattiva di suoni e contenuti digitali. ____________________________________________________________ *“Analogiche metamorfosi”, installazione video interattiva di fannidada* Le analogiche metamorfosi di fannidada sono videoinstallazioni interattive dove il pubblico, manipolando analogicamente il segnale video, metamorfizza le immagini elettroniche che si colorano caleidoscopicamente disintegrandone la qualità. *Percorrere strade secondarie* Percorrere strade secondarie può essere un modo di vivere. Lasciare il certo per l’incerto, cercare nuove visioni nella quotidianità. Due ruote di bicicletta fissate ad una struttura tubolare in ferro che supporta quattro monitor generano, ruotando, analogiche metamorfosi che, modificando i colori delle immagini visualizzate, offrono allo spettatore nuove visioni. *La valigia delle Metamorfosi* Dentro una valigia cosa si può trovare? racconti di viaggio, immagini, sensazioni, ma soprattutto, il piacere della sorpresa e dell’imprevisto. Una valigia, un monitor, due preamplificatori microfonici un buon mix per creare un viaggio “fantastico” www.fannidada.com ____________________________________________________________ *“Synthesis”, interactive dance performance by micron* Documentazione video della performance ed esposizione dei dipinti digitali e materici creati durante lo spettacolo. In scena due performer e SUMI, un sistema interattivo per dipingere con la luce, che si ispira al Sumi-e, stile pittorico dell'Estremo Oriente. La tecnologia si inserisce come ricerca nella creazione di nuove forme di espressività che conferiscono all'attore il ruolo di guerriero dell'arte, di un'arte visiva, colorata. La danza muove i colori, “il gesto corporeo traccia segni grafici percepiti e rielaborati da un altro corpo”. Attraverso la pittura d'azione materica e digitale si entra nello spazio per essere spazio. ____________________________________________________________ *“Rossore”, Installazione luminosa interattiva e sensibile di Pietro Mussini * Il sistema è formato da un involucro che contiene la parte di hardware per l’attivazione della performance. E’ composto da led ad effetto intermittente, veloce, rado e puntiforme dal quale, avvicinandoci, si attiva un’esuberanza luminosa di tonalità unica, forte e satura, un invito ad attivare un rapporto col mondo, con il nostro corpo, con l’altro, la materialità del corpo, delle mani, degli occhi, la sua estensione, il suo spazio, la sua frontiera. Nell’incontro, nella captazione dei corpi si svela la narrazione di ciò che avviene, che deve accadere, nell’avvicinamento, nella prossimità, corpi apparentemente estranei che nella loro narrazione, nell’approssimarsi, svelano nel gesto ciò che è esposto, captazione di figure e di occhi, captazione fra corpi, interazione tra corpi. ____________________________________________________________ www.we-are-making-digital-art.com

by monica

Call for entries: VIDA 13.0 Art and artificial life international awards Deadline: 7th of November 2010 Fundación Telefonica announces the VIDA 13.0 Art & Artificial Life International Competition, which for the last twelve years has awarded prizes for artistic projects using technological mediums offering innovative approaches to research into life and artificial life. At a time when the notion of life is once again located in an uncertain domain, a wide range of artistic initiatives come together to illustrate and investigate this phenomenon; they examine the impact on the collective conscience and the way it is manifested in cultural, technological and social thought. Over the last decade, in the same formal space, VIDA has been bringing together interdisciplinary projects that respond to this situation. By means of formal strategies that defy the boundaries between existing practices, these projects offer new ways of reflecting on what we understand by life and artificial life. There are two categories to the competition: FINISHED PROJECTS In this category VIDA 13.0 will award prizes to artistic ALife projects developed after 2008. The sum of 40,000 Euros will be shared between the projects selected by the jury: - First Prize: 18,000 Euros, - Second Prize: 14,000 Euros - Third Prize: 8,000 Euros. In addition seven honourable mentions will be awarded. PRODUCTION INCENTIVES In this category VIDA 13.0 helps to fund artistic ALife projects that have not yet been produced. This is aimed at citizens or residents of countries comprising Latin America, Spain and Portugal. The sum of 40,000 Euros will be shared between the selected projects. ------------- mónica bello bugallo artistic director of VIDA art and artificial life international competition www.fundaciontelefonica.com/vida
