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!

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.

A code sprint is a “time-boxed period of software development focused on a given list of goals” (source: wikipedia). It is a great opportunity for developers to meet in real life and work together on some issues. The Puredyne team use this technique for a couple of years now and have been doing sprints in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Spain. During a sprint, other developers and members of the community can follow our progress and discussion via IRC and/or stream and are welcome to contribute!

During 3 days developers from the Puredyne Team and guests Dave Griffiths and Gabor Papp will work together on improving Puredyne as a tool for live audiovisual performances and work towards better integration of software such as Fluxus. We are working from the 22nd until the 24th in the HIAP residency studio of the Suomenlinna island and you are welcome to drop by and work with us!

GOTO10 collective has been invited to design some parts of the Pixelache 2010 programme. The preliminary plan is to organise a seminar about FLOSS+Art and to present an exhibition featuring software art.

Yesterday the exhibition chmod +x opened in Sign gallery, Groningen. The works exhibited are “love2″ by Wayne Clements, “island2″ by Martin Howse, “Microcodes” by Pall Thayer and “Class Library” by Graham Harwood. The exhibition presents works that use the computer as a space for social revolution, as location, an ungraspable island that slowly transmits itself to other computers, as actor, mimicking other machines. Executable language, thoughts, ideas and actions translated into code that can be interpreted and executed by a machine. Each of the works show aspects of our relation and history with computers. Even though for non-programmers it might at first be hard to approach the code and the processes it describes, there are fascinating stories to be found.

You can visit chmod +x art at sign in Groningen until the 7th of March. more
