hi everyone, May is shaping up to be a busy month for UpStage: as well as announcing the shows selected for this year's festival, there will be a performance, several presentations, and the ongoing development of the software. Plus, the UpStage User Manual has now been transferred to FLOSS Manuals, an online repository of open source software manuals. It is, as always, a work-in-progress; you can read and contribute to it here: http://en.flossmanuals.net/upstage-user-manual/ **************************************** *111111 Selection Announcement Event, 11 May* The performances selected for the 111111 UpStage Festival will be announced at a live event in UpStage <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?p=2298> on 11 May 2011, 10am Europe, 8pm NZ -- find your local time here <http://tinyurl.com/5vke89r>. The announcement will be followed by live cybersets from guest CJs Dan Untitled & Miljana Peric -- regular UpStagers known for their skills in spinning cyber-sounds. Join the artists and organisers of the festival in celebrating the beginning of the build-up to 111111, the 5th UpStage festival! The event will take place on the 111111 stage <http://upstage.org.nz:8084/stages/111111> (click to enter). **************************************** *Performance: Cyberian Chalk Circle, 14 May* Etheatre presents */Cyberian Chalk Circle/* ... an interactive cyberformance ... an online game ... a political chat room ...

LiWoLi <http://liwoli.at/> is an annual gathering for artists, developers and educators using and creating FLOSS (free/libre open source software) and Open Hardware in the artistic and cultural context, held in Linz, Austria. This year it's happening 12-14 May and Helen will give a presentation entitled "Performing Open Source <http://liwoli.at/programm/2011/performing-open-source>" on Friday 13th. Her presentation will explore the artist-developer relationship in artist-led open source software projects, drawing on her own personal experience with UpStage. Two presentations at the Live Performers Meeting <http://www.liveperformersmeeting.net/> (Rome, 19-22 May) will feature UpStage: on Friday 20th Paula Crutchlow (online from the UK) and Helen Varley Jamieson will give a presentation about their networked performance make-shift <http://www.make-shift.net/>, which uses UpStage in conjunction with streaming audio & video and live performance; and on Saturday 21st Helen will give a talk about cyberformance and online tools for live performance. She will demonstrate UpStage and Visitors' Studio <http://www.visitorsstudio.org/>, and discuss other platforms. **************************************** *Development* Martin Eisenbarth is busy with his research project "DownStage", developing a prototype for an updated rebuild of UpStage in a way that is more extensible and open for contributions from other open source developers. You can follow his progress on his wiki, https://projects.foobarlab.net/projects/downstage, and join the UpStage developers' mailing list <https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/upstage-list> if you want to get involved in this and other development. **************************************** looking forward to seeing you in UpStage in May, helen : ) ____________________________________________________________ helen varley jamieson: creative catalyst helen(a)creative-catalyst.com http://www.creative-catalyst.com http://www.avatarbodycollision.org http://www.upstage.org.nz ____________________________________________________________

"make-shift" in nz next summer

by helen varley jamieson

hi adas, i'm planning a homeward visit next southern summer, combined with touring "make-shift", a networked performance that i made last year with paula crutchlow. "make-shift" is performed simultaneously from 2 houses in different places (paula will be in the uk while i'm in nz) & also accessible to online audiences via a web interface that combines UpStage with streaming audio & video; there's more info about it here: http://www.make-shift.net we're planning our tour schedule now so we are looking for people & organisations who might be interested in hosting, & any other opportunities for presenting & promoting the work. the dates are flexible but i expect to be in nz something like mid-december to late january/early feb (yep, that time when you're all either super-busy or totally on holiday, i know ...). the performances will be late evening events (e.g. 10pm start), since we're coordinating with audiences in the uk 12 hours behind. "make-shift" addresses environmental themes & explores local/global relationships/communities; it's very engaging, fun & participatory - a small audience of about 15 gathered at a house creating half of the performance in collaboration with a small audience in another house on the other side of the world - plus the online audience scattered around the globe & potentially down the road. it's also possible for galleries & venues to screen the online interface for a gathered audience. if you're interested in being involved in any way, please email me off-list & we can discuss it further. thanks in advance, & i'm looking forward to catching up with some of you next summer :) h : ) ____________________________________________________________ helen varley jamieson: creative catalyst helen(a)creative-catalyst.com http://www.creative-catalyst.com http://www.avatarbodycollision.org http://www.upstage.org.nz ____________________________________________________________

Expanding Documentary Conference 2011. Auckland - Aotearoa New Zealand. Dec. 7-9.

by Geraldene Peters

Hi Everyone Apologies for crosspostingl. Please do distribute to your networks. Very best Geraldene and Annie ----------------------------------------------------------- EXPANDING DOCUMENTARY: SOUND, IMAGE, TEXT Nga Wae o Horotiu Marae Auckland University of Technology Aotearoa New Zealand December 7-9, 2011 Website: www.aut.ac.nz/expanding-documentary-2011 ----------------------------------------------------------- Organised in association with Auckland University of Technology (Schools of Communication Studies and Art & Design, Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies) and the University of Auckland (Department of Film, Television and Media Studies, Faculty of Arts). EXPANDING DOCUMENTARY: SOUND, IMAGE, TEXT 2011 is the eighth biennial documentary conference held in Aotearoa New Zealand. Arising out of a ‘small country’ context, the event has been distinguished over the years by its concern to engage artists, makers, academics, writers, industry professionals and community activists interested in questions of theory and practice. Focusing on non-fiction and documentary-related work produced within Aotearoa, Australia and the Asia Pacific region, the conference includes presentations of works-in-progress or recently completed works, as well as academic papers. In 2011, the overarching, interdisciplinary ethos of Expanding Documentary continues the event’s emphasis on new and revised directions in thinking and practice while keeping in sight significant questions of subjectivity, embodiment, ethics, history, politics, economy and technology in the process of making and interpreting documentary works. Four key areas of interest guide programming: 1. Ways in which culturally distinctive knowledge systems inform the production, representation and interpretation of documentary work. 2. The mediation of documentary through augmented realities, mobile media, web 2.0 apps, interactive game technology and other digital platforms. 3. Thinking practices through production, creativity and pedagogy. 4. Political and social documentary screens – large and small. Keynote guests include Professor Jon Dovey (Director, Digital Cultures Research Centre, UWE) - most recently involved with organizing the i-Docs symposium in Bristol http://i-docs.org/ Other guests representing a cross-section of Indigenous, filmmaker, photographer and digital interface interests are to be confirmed in the next few weeks – please sign up to “Expanding Documentary News” on the website homepage for updates. Expanding Documentary welcomes papers and works (moving image, photography, installation, sound, digital and multimedia) that engage creatively and critically with the following questions: ** What has changed and what remains the same when thinking about, making and distributing documentary in digital environments? ** In what ways can practices of participation, collaboration, and location in place and time be thought differently - and how might this inform the ‘doing’ of practice? How do shifts in social, political, economic and cultural environments impact on documentary work locally? Globally? In what ways do identity and subjectivity currently influence forms of documentary expression? ** How do we conceive of the relationships between history, theory and practice of documentary – as makers, as educators, as writers? ** How do technologies and their uses factor in present day making, teaching and thinking around documentary matters? PROGRAMMING STRANDS 1. Indigenous 2. Theory and Practice 3. Sound 4. Image 5. Community, activist and social practice. 6. Emerging Researchers: Doctoral and Postgraduate 7. Open PANEL STRUCTURE 3-4 papers, 20 minute with 20-30 minutes discussion time 2 parallel strands of panels In the interests of peer review processes, panels have not been pre-constituted. However, suggestions for panel topics are welcome and updates will be posted to the website. SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCEDURE 250 word abstracts submitted to documentary(a)aut.ac.nz by Friday June 11. Subject Header: Abstract Abstracts may be accompanied by images of your work (exclusive of your name) if creative practice is your focus. Please include the title of your paper or work, but not your name. In addition to the abstract, please include a separate front page detailing: * title of the paper or work * name and contact details * programming strand your paper or work best fits within (as a guideline) * technical requirements for presentation * institutional or other work affiliation * a brief biography * links to websites displaying work are welcome if you prefer single blind peer review for creative work Abstracts will go through a double blind peer review process (or single blind review where necessary for creative practice).

I've been unable to find that link. Can anyone on the list point me in the right direction? I don't know what you're looking for in particular but if you're after a media arts related course I can thoroughly recommend Piet Zwart Institute (Willem de Kooning Akademy) in Rotterdam. http://pzwart.wdka.nl/home/ They have a pretty groundbreaking Networked Media course - some incredible work comes out of there. Broader in scope than the name implies, it's perhaps the most rigorous media arts education in the EU. They sort out all the VISA arrangements if you're accepted. Knowing your work and technical ability you'd have a very good chance. Applications due in a week ;) (BIAS WARNING: I have some affiliations/history with Piet Zwart and think it's super) Cheers, Julian
