We’re glad to invite Jérôme Abel to give a workshop in the framework of the “Figures of Interactivity” Biennial.

“Copy-pasting… combining the collective imagination”
Emancipation and drifts around the tools for art.

The aim of the workshop is to build an hybrid, digital artwork prototype based on copy-pasting.
Reusing existing works is the rule in free and open source environment. Datas, libraries of functions, memory locations, can all be transported, altered, recorded. Besides the assembly is a very effective method for learning techniques as it’s based on experience. Starting from various sources of information (files, artworks, sensors, etc..) that will feed our algorithms, our program will be shaped connection by connection.
The students will be familiarized with the graphical programming environment Pure Data, along with Unix commands and networking protocols.

The workshop is taught by Jérôme Abel, member of the artist collective Impala Utopia.

When? 25, 26 and 27 November 2010, 9:30-17:30
Where? EESI, Poitiers (France)
Entrance: free
Language: French
Registration: please send us an email with a few lines explaining your motivations to attend the workshop

“Copier-coller… assembler l’imagination collective”
Emancipation et dérives autour des outils informatiques dans l’art.

L’objectif de l’atelier est de concevoir un prototype d’oeuvre numérique hybride basé sur le copier-coller.
En environnement libre et open source, la réutilisation de travaux existants est la règle. Les données, les bibliothèques de fonctions, les emplacements mémoires, sont tous susceptibles d’être transportés, modifiés, enregistrés. De plus, le montage est une méthode très efficace pour l’apprentissage des techniques, car basé sur l’expérience. Nous partirons de différentes sources d’informations (fichiers, oeuvres artistiques, capteurs, etc.), pour nourrir nos algorithmes, et de connexions en connexions tisser notre programme.
Pour cela, nous nous familiariserons avec l’environnement de programmation graphique Pure Data, couplé aux commandes Unix et aux protocoles réseau.

L’atelier est conduit par Jérôme Abel, membre du collectif d’artistes Impala Utopia.

Quand? 25, 26 et 27 novembre 2010, 9:30-17:30
Où? EESI, Poitiers (France)
Entrée: libre, sur inscription (nombre de places limité)

« in-between design: rediscovering collaboration in digital art »

make art is an international festival dedicated to free/libre arts and technologies, distributed digital artworks and net art. The sixth edition of make art focuses on works halfway between art and design, collaborative, scalable and participative methods. The adventure “in-between design” begins here, to be imagined in this creative development, where everyone can participate and where artwork keeps on evolving. Are these projects just curiosities or a real alternative to the graphic conformism ruled by an industry that dictates its aesthetic codes? Please come and join us to answer this question…

with Awkward Family Photos (Greece), Marije Baalman (Netherlands), Emanuele Bonetti (Italy), Loredana Bontempi (Italy), Vito Campanelli (Italy), Benjamin Cadon (France), Calcyum (France), Alberto de Campo (Austria), Andrés Colubri
(Argentina), ginger coons (Canada), Dorothé Depeauw (Belgium), Luc Döbereiner (Germany), LAFKON (Germany), Aditya Mandayam (India), Xavi Manzanares (Spain), Oscar Martin (Spain), Gabriel Menotti (Brazil), Yota Morimoto (Japan), Jaime

« in-between design :la redécouverte de la collaboration dans les arts numériques »

make art est un festival international dédié aux arts et technologies libres, aux oeuvres numériques distribuées et à l’art en réseau. La sixième édition de make art se penche sur les créations à mi-chemin entre art et design, aux méthodes participatives, évolutives et collaboratives. L’aventure “in-between design” débute ici, elle s’imagine dans ce développement créatif, où la participation de chacun est possible et où l’oeuvre ne cesse d’évoluer. Ces projets sont-ils juste des curiosités ou bien une véritable alternative au conformisme graphique régi par une industrie qui nous impose ses codes esthétiques ? Venez nous rejoindre pour répondre à cette question…

Ljubljana Digital Media Lab

Ljudmila is a  digital media lab that focuses on digital production as well
as education, research and development of hardware and software. It also
provides knowledge, equipment, Internet access, server space, electronic
publishing and other affordable networking services to non-governmental and
non-profit organisations, art collectives, active individuals, and others.
In 2004, for its work as the Slovene epicentre of digital creation for group
projects and autonomous artists and researchers, Ljudmila was bestowed
the Golden
Bird Award <goog_1090993002> for the section of new media.

IRZU – the Institute for sonic Arts Research was founded in 2008 in Ljubljana with the aim of filling a local content gap in the interdisciplinary field of contemporary sonic arts. Our activities cover the following three main areas: audio technology research (digital signal processing, sonic interaction design, music information retrieval, non-linear acoustics, etc.), artistic productions (performances, exhibitions, installations, films) and educational projects (lectures, workshops), which are mostly aimed at transmitting basic knowledge on the use of digital technologies and conceptual approaches in sonic arts, to local composers and inter-media artists.

GOTO10 is supported by SPACE through the PERMACULTURES programme. PERMACULTURES supports artists using technology and exploring media culture against the backdrop of apparent ecological crisis. SPACE hosts 1-3 month residencies in the MediaLab supporting artists to develop and produce new work.

During the residency SPACE have offered GOTO10 time and space to develop new projects,  the residency will also host a puredyne code sprint as well as workshops and public events  related to the projects developed during the residency.

The residency can be followed here: http://permacultures.goto10.org/ or if you are in London feel free to drop in to say hello!

SPACE is London’s original radical artist support organization. Set up in East London in 1968 to provide affordable studio space for visual artists, SPACE remains at the vanguard in promoting the role of artists in society. SPACE provide platforms which enable creative people to experiment, develop and thrive, and for a broad public to engage with this creativity, through exhibitions, residencies, courses and workshops.

GOTO10 will be in residency in SPACE until late October 2010.

GOTO10 is pleased to introduce the “Buddha Buddha” workshop in partnership with Digiark of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts.

In the workshop, participants will first produce sounds of their own using FLOSS tools. The results of these sound experiments are subsequently loaded into custom manufactured Buddha boxes(small IC based sound loop player, best known for the works by Chinese duo FM3). Participants will then learn the basics of circuit bending and electronics to carry on their experiments in the realm of hardware.

Art and Design students of the world, come join us for a speed geeking session the 5th of March :) You can either teach a 30 minute workshop about your new hobby, high tech invention or solution to the worlds problems, or you can follow 6 workshops by your genius collegues.

6 short workshops. In this “speed geeking” session you teach each other in a short amount of time a technique, skill or concept. Multiple workshop tables are set up in the space, groups are made. The workshops take place simultaneously. Just like in speed dating, after 30 minutes a bell rings and each group goes to another workshop table. Workshops of all shapes and colours are welcome, from Processing in a nutshell to copyleft ashtray clay modelling. Exchange ideas and make new friends!
