Performance
25 September 2009, Peninsula Arts Gallery, 7.00pm
4NX performance by Aymeric Mansoux

4NX is an audiovisual noise sculpture, starting with the panic of a flat signal, turning it into image then back into sound, the bootstrapping of a stochastic noise generator, the search for structure and frozen moments of accidental beauty. A cornucopia of clicks, pops and glitches. 4NX is violent but draws you into this world of chaos through its black and white aesthetics, melancholic atmosphere and unexpected shaping of raw noise into hypnotic patterns. 4NX is on ongoing research on noise aesthetics.

Lecture
22 October 2009, Theatre 2 Roland Levinsky Building, 6.30pm
Transiting the Net by Professor Roy Ascott

Cybernetics and behaviour, mind and technology, connectivity and syncretism, chance and change, constitute the parameters of practice of Roy Ascott, whose talk will chart his passage through the Net, from analogue to digital and beyond. Ascott has exhibited widely, from Venice Biennale to Ars Electronica, is published in at least twelve languages, and recognised internationally as an innovator and visionary. He is president of the Planetary Collegium at University of Plymouth.

At a time when intellectual property is fiercely debated, while some people cling on to their little bits of territory, others have chosen to share knowledge, art and networks.

Why? How? And.. what can free and open culture contribute to artistic creation beyond the proposal for an alternative technological palette?

A presentation from aymeric mansoux, part of the conference cycle “Libre comme l’eau, l’air…” produced by Nathalie Magnan.

Liwoli 2009 is a three day long Hacklab and an open invitation to all who would like to participate in an active process of learning, producing and sharing around the areas of Free/Libre Open Source
Software and Art. FLOSS developers, artists and programmers such as the collective GOTO10 or activists from HAIP (Hack Act Interact Progress) and many others form the basis for the event and share their knowledge in the form of workshops, hacklabs, presentations, installations and
performances.
