The winners in the World Summit Awards will have the opportunity to attend the Awards Celebration in Cairo, Egypt later in the year where they will receive their award and participate & present their projects in a three day get together for ‘Global Creatives.’ InternetNZ has backed the New Zealand arm of these awards since its inception. Says InternetNZ Chief Executive Vikram Kumar, “An open Internet is critical for New Zealand’s social and economic future. The breadth and impact of the innovation the Internet has sparked off is truly great. Year after year the WSA uncovers online content and services that surprise and delight us. They represent the best of New Zealand on the world stage.” The three winners are: e-Business & Commerce: Areoscan is a web based service that enables the user to create a 3D model of any area or object using digital photographs. In industries such as surveying, architecture, and design; Areoscan is proving a cost effective, flexible and time efficient solution for all sorts of jobs, ranging from complex land surveys, through to creative art projects. Whatever the need, Areoscan takes a real-life subject and automatically generates a 3D model in the same way a 3D laser scanner does, but without the need for specialized equipment.

Re: [Ada_list] NZ artist wins Prix Ars Electronica - congratulations, Julian!

by Julian Oliver

thankyou helen! all these congrats are making me feel terribly homesick! i'll be sure to turn some of the prize money into a plane ticket. promise! i really do hope to catch up with a lot of you on this list in person, with what you're working on and the scene back home more generally. in all seriousness i haven't had a holiday longer than a week in three years, let alone one in NZ. shameful really.. in any case, looking at your websites and reading about your work from time to time i'm regularly blown away. as regards the field i'm working in currently, Ian Clothier and Rob Carter are right up there with the best of them. Julian Priest is another i regularly mention when giving talks on the topic: a very early and strong voice positioning wireless networking as a plastic medium in itself (in fact he comes up in a talk i'm giving on the topic here in Toronto at Subtle Tech). being entirely independent is all very well but many makers living in NZ do what they do with very little, often no arts funding at all. i have been mentioning this in recent interviews when the question of support and origin comes up. Europeans (as i am myself now in part) are genuinely surprised at hearing of student loans and what's done with sub 10k grants; our country is popularly considered an antipodean Switzerland, it seems.. kia kaha, julian On Fri, May 27, 2011 11:04 am, helen varley jamieson wrote: > great, well done julian! :) > > On 26/05/11 3:58 PM, Honor Harger wrote: >> Hi ADA >> >> Not sure if you've heard yet, but New Zealand artist, Julian Oliver, >> has won the top prize at the world's most prestigious prize for >> digital art - the Prix Ars Electronica: >> >> http://new.aec.at/prix/en/gewinner/#interactive-art >> >> Julian Oliver won the highly coveted Golden Nica in Interactive Art >> for his work, "Newstweek" made in collaboration with Danja Vasiliev >> (RU). >> http://newstweek.com/ >> >> Horray! >> >> Honor > > > -- > ____________________________________________________________ > > helen varley jamieson: creative catalyst > helen(a)creative-catalyst.com > http://www.creative-catalyst.com > http://www.avatarbodycollision.org > http://www.upstage.org.nz > ____________________________________________________________ > > _______________________________________________ > Ada_list mailing list > Ada_list(a)list.waikato.ac.nz > http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/ > Julian Oliver home: New Zealand based: Berlin, Germany currently: Toronto, Canada about: http://julianoliver.com

Performances announced for the 11:11:11 UpStage Festival

by helen varley jamieson

We are delighted to announce the performances that have been selected for the 11:11:11 UpStage Festival, taking place on and around 11 November 2011. The formal announcement was made today, live in UpStage, with a wild collaborative audiovisual celebration featuring guest CJs Miljana Peric and Dan Untitled. The 11:11:11 festival programme showcases work by seasoned cyberformance artists, along with performances by artists from other disciplines working in the online environment for the first time, and by school students (some of whom are also seasoned cyberformers). Classical texts from Brecht and Shakespeare get the cyberformance treatment, and themes range from the moon to capitalism, and just about everything imaginable in between. The performances and artists are (more details on the web site <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350>): * Cyberian Chalk Circle <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350#ccc>: Christina Papagiannouli -- Director (UK) Evi Stamatiou -- Performer (UK) * Edward King <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350#ek>: Marlena Corcoran & collaborator(s) (Germany, World) * Flat Earth <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350#fe>: Petyr Veenstra (Netherlands) * In Pulses <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350#ip>: Deise Nunes, Paulucci Araújo, Luanda Carneiro Jacoel, Fernanda Branco (Brazil, Oslo/Valencia) * Magfalda meets the world in pieces <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350#mag>; Gabriella Sacco (Netherlands), Valentina Tibaldi (Italy) * *make-shift <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350#make-shift>* Paula Crutchlow (UK) & Helen Varley Jamieson (NZ/Germany) * Property Theft <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350#pt>: Olivia Furber, Harry Giles, et al (Scotland) * The Serious Moonlight <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350#moon>; Cindi L'Abbe (USA/Korea), Karoline Anderson (USA/Korea) * Student's Works <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350#sw>: students from Te Tai Poutini, Aotearoa/NZ * Wake <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350#wake>: Vicki Smith (Aotearoa/NZ) * Where are the clouds? <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2350#clouds>: Katarina DJ. Urosevic (Serbia), Francesco Buonaiuto (Italy) and The Levi@hans. The performances were selected by the 11:11:11 Curatorial Panel (Liz Bryce, Karla Ptác(ek, Ben Unterman, Becca Wood, Helen Varley Jamieson and Vicki Smith), who will mentor the artists on the development of the shows between now and the festival. Some shows will have public work-in-progress showings and previews before the festival - starting this Saturday 14th May, with the first presentation of the Cyberian Chalk Circle (details here: http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?p=2337); and on Friday 20th May there will be a presentation at another festival about make-shift, which can be joined online (details here: http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?p=2343). We also launched a donations appeal, to raise NZ$5000 towards the costs of the festival. Donations of any amount are gratefully appreciated, but we particularly appreciate amounts of $11, $111, $1111 and so on ... go to http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=278 to make your donation and watch the thermometer rise! The build-up to 11:11:11 has begun! :) ____________________________________________________________ helen varley jamieson: creative catalyst helen(a)creative-catalyst.com http://www.creative-catalyst.com http://www.avatarbodycollision.org http://www.upstage.org.nz ____________________________________________________________

call: Animating Time-space (Waikato, New Zealand, 1-2 October 11)

by Sonja van K

Call For Papers: Animating Time-space (Waikato, New Zealand, 1-2 October 11) Waikato, October 1-2, 2011 Deadline: June 15, 2011 Animating Time-space Saturday October 1 and Sunday October 2, 2011 The University of Waikato, New Zealand Keynote speakers: Suzanne Buchan (TBC) Recent years have witnessed the emergence of dynamic approaches toward creating, exhibiting and experiencing media forms. Animated imagery is now pervasive and ubiquitous, giving life to objects, environments and imaginative spaces. With increased access to cinematic and digital technologies, we are seeing a broadening participation in processes of creating animation, and diverse experimentation with time and space. While animation continues to be experienced widely and dynamically as a ‘screen’ form, the relationship between producer, text, screen and audience is re-configured by animated work that deviates from the notion of a two-dimensional screen encounter. This complexity is apparent in recent studies of the blurring of computer game producers and users, and where animation enlivens public spaces and events, such as art galleries, graffiti walls, architecture and the performance of visual music and sound art. These examples provide fertile material for an investigation into animating time-space and the generation of participatory culture. Animating Time-space brings together theoreticians and practitioners from a diverse range of disciplines in order to discuss a number of approaches toward the animation of time and space. It is intended that discussion will be inclusive of traditional, cinematic and ‘extra-cinematic’ approaches toward animation. The event comprises a two-day symposium, timed to coincide with the opening of the exhibition Handmade Pixels: Exposing the Animation Process, on 30th September. The symposium will be concluded by a screening of animated works from the exhibition. Both events are hosted by The University of Waikato. We invite proposals for 20-minute papers on all aspects of animated time and space. Proposals for papers may include (but are not limited to) the following topics: - animating space (on-screen space, off-screen space, narrative space, architectural space, environmental space, imaginative space etc) - anthropomorphism of space, objects, environments, plants, dead and decaying forms, ideas - creating other worlds; giving life to space and place - animation, time and memory - the temporality of animation: the relation between still and moving images - exploring the space in-between frames - the relation between handmade animation and digital technologies - the materiality of animation and changing technologies - audience experience, embodiment and perception of animated time and space - the animated body, manipulated physiognomy, pixilation and kinesthesis - animating sound and music: time-space considerations - the suspension of time in digital animation and Japanese Anime - suspended animation - animation and time travel Potential contributors are invited to submit a 300 word abstract accompanied by a brief biography (including name, institution, phone number and email) to the conference organisers at animation(a)waikato.ac.nz no later than 15th June 2011. Potential contributors selected for paper presentation may also be considered for subsequent publication of an edited collection on Animating Time-space. In this situation, contributors may be requested to provide a more substantial paper draft prior to the symposium. -- Sonja van KerkhoffART: http://www.sonjavank.com BLOG:www.sonjavank.wordpress.com DESIGN: www.sonjavank.com/design VIDEOS: www.youtube.com/sonjavank BOOKMARKS: http://del.icio.us/sonjavank

Laurent and Simon as the main facilitators were equally excited by the prospect of the weekend and what it might hold. All of the other teams were also full of enthusiasm. The demonstrations on mobile digital technology by Laurent were eye-openers to us and we just wanted to get out there and start exploring this 'new' media. With back up from the very knowledgeable technicians we were never out of our depth. My major concern was just how did all that time pass so quickly." –Tim. "I really enjoyed the workshop because it was quite inspirational and we were supported by artists who were experts in their field and were able to open up my mind to possibilities that I didn't even knew existed.

The realities of it are a number of boxes in a Mt Roskill factory that come out to play when the stars align and fortune smiles. In the boxes are machines, machines called shimsaws and playing these machines are two friends - Marcel and Rosy. This is Empirical. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Marcel-Bear/112357688779329?sk=info *** Sign of the Hag Erica Sklenars and Daniel Beban. Zoetropic / strobophonic duet of adapted spinning wheels.
