Just found out that at the two closing events of the soundframe festival in Vienna. [15th and 16th of april 2010 @ Ottakringer Brauerei]

there will be an installation of AntiVJ.I am pretty curious what to see, if and how they can change the amtmosphere at the Brauerei!
Come and check it out with me!

Here some Videos of their previous works, just to get an idea what AntiVJ does:

McLuhan Salon- isuma.tv

Das Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin surrt wie ein warmer Bienenstock. Diese Metapher passt zum Thema, irgendwie. Künstler, Medienmenschen, Journalisten und Teilnehmer aus aller Welt haben sich hier getroffen, um zu sehen was die Transmediale 09 zum heurigen Motto “Deep North” zu sagen hat. Offensichtlich geht es um Grenzbereiche. Kunst, Technologie, Ökologie und Aktivismus sollen sich zuarbeiten und so das Thema Klimawandel in neuem Licht erscheinen lassen. Zu einem Großteil aber soll es um den Gedankenaustausch gehen. Leute in Verbindung bringen, gemeinsam Ideen für eine Zukunft voller Hochwasser und Tornados
schmieden. Auch wenn es anders wirken mag, der Schwerpunkt liegt doch beim Networking. Nicht nur hier im Realraum, wie wir bald feststellen.

Wir stehen vor dem Haupteingang und rauchen. Drinnen Verordnung, eh klar. Es ist eiskalt aber sonnig. Gleich wird uns der künstlerische Leiter der
Transmediale, Stephen Kovats, abholen und mit seinem Wagen in die kanadische Botschaft, genauer in den Marshall McLuhan Salon bringen. Dort werden wir mit dem renommierten Inuit-Politiker Paul Quassa bekannt gemacht. Das Projekt, das wir mit ihm besprechen nennt sich isuma.tv, eine Videoplattform im Internet, die primär für den Austausch indigener Filmemacher ins Leben gerufen wurde. Das klingt abwegiger als es eigentlich ist. Bald wird uns Paul Quassar erzählen, dass besonders Nomadenvölker sehr schnell neue Technologien für sich beansprucht haben. Weniger schriftlich als visuell orientiert, bietet ihnen das Netz die optimale Form des Austausches für traditionelles Wissen, aber auch Nachrichten und Alltägliches. Nicht von ungefähr treffen wir Quassar im McLuhan Salon.

Das einst von McLuhan prophezeite “Global Village” wurde bei isuma.tv nicht bloß zur Praxis. Es ist beinahe dessen Überaffirmation: Über modernste Technologien können so wissenschaftliche Diskurse über Klimawandel mit idigener Naturweisheit abgeglichen werden. Näheres erzählten uns die Beteiligten selbst, von Angesicht zu Angesicht – und über den Bildschirm erzählen sie es so der ganzen Welt.

We are standing outside the “Haus der Kulturen der Welt” in Berlin, smoking. Forbidden indoors, all over Germany by now. We are waiting for Steven Kovats, the artistic director of the transmediale 09. He personally is going to drive us to the Canadian embassy, where the Marshall McLuhan Salon is located and we are about to meet the famous Inuit spokesman Paul Quassar to hear more about isuma.tv, a project director Kovats is very proud to present at this years transmediale. isuma.tv, as we are about to learn, is an independent platform for indigenous film-makers, exchanging traditional knowledge, as well as news and footage documenting an aboriginal way of life. Paul Quassar, sitting in the futuristic McLuhan Salon, tells us why new technologies were quickly absorbed by aboriginal tribes, how traditional
knowledge about nature and the environment can help us to deal with an impending climate change and how isuma.tv exactly works.

Beijing 6 Free

According to Students for a free Tibet (SFT) and a Facebook Group, the “Beijing6” - James Powderly GRL, Brian Conley Alive In Baghdad, Jeffrey Rae, Jeff Rae, Michael Liss, Tom Grant) are free and on their way home.

This happened after the AFP reported on Friday, that “Beijing police said Thursday it had handed out 10-day detention terms to six foreigners believed by an overseas activist group to be pro-Tibet campaigners involved in Olympic protests this week.”

The IHT wrote yesterday, that Washington’s top diplomat in China pressed the government to immediately free foreign activists jailed for protesting at the Olympics and criticized Beijing on Sunday for failing to use the games to show “greater tolerance and openness.”

My guess is: They just don’t care anymore since the games are over and want to get rid of them - asap. We’re waiting for a Statement of the persons concerned and will publish it here - asap.

Immodesty, Day 1

I’ve chosen to join Karolina Sobecka’s Project mmodesty. We’ll build o low-cost virtual camera system. Therefore we will hack a bunch of single-use cameras in order to make them readable and release at the same time.

1st day: We started to break up some PDA readers that use the same interface like the single-use cameras.

cam_interface

The plan is to connect 30 cameras to one arduino in order to release the shutter simultanously. To do so we need to extend the outputs of the arduino, which originally has only 13 outputs. So, to get the ammount of output needed we built a Serial to Parallel Shifting-Out with a 74HC595 chip as explained on the arduino hompepage.

shift_out

Since the hardware tasks of the day were fulfilled with excellence we started a test shooting with one of the cameras. Our testsetup was a half circle with a radius of 3.2m, with marks every 20cm.

this is the output of the first testshooting: file formats troubles

AV performances Part I @ Mapping Festival 2008

The first weekend of the Mapping Festival in Geneva past by too fast… and i tried to see and document every event… but to be honest it was not possible! What i saw… or let’s say experianced was great and all the different kinds of performances gave a good overview of how and in which context av technics might be used.
This ranges from the classical VJ set going along with a DJ playing or live audio visual sets in a night club to more experimental audio visual performances and installations shown in a museum of contemporary art.
The Festival still goes on till Sunday! So get your things packed and come!

And have a look at those videos…. even if the quality is not the best! i am gonna work on that… when i am back home, I promise.

yves netzmann, the subjectivisation of..

… Repetitation. The swiss pavillon shows a hybrid between classical paintings and video art. On a huge wall, rotated app. 45 degrees towards the spectator, i see surrealistic paintings of faceless, naked women eating chickenwings, while overlayed by 3d renderings. I can definitely state the fact, that yves is a better painter than 3d modeller. But who cares
