Exhibition of ‘hello process!’ at Observatori, Valencia, ES

From the 5th till the 29th of July, hello process! will be exhibited at Observatori festival in Valencia, Spain. Hello process is part of the exhibition ‘After the net’. Like the film ‘The Net’ by Lutz Dammbeck (2003), the exhibition explores systems of technological control and presents works that draw attention to historical shifts of network power: from cybernetics to free and open source software, and in turn to social networking platforms. The works in the exhibition explore some of the historical roots of technological open systems in relation to ethics and artistic practice and reactivate some of the founding paradoxes. On the one hand, there is an emphasis on the social promises of global networking and instantaneous communication, and on the other, an emphasis on intrusive systems of technological control. hello process! is a project by Aymeric Mansoux and Marloes de Valk

Agents of distributed performance: In this workshop we will work on a collaborative playground for an audiovisual performance/installation.

Focusing on using scsynth to generate sound, hold data and build a sequencer for networked play, we’ll use the Supercollider language as an intermediate between the server and external clients. From thursday 29th - saturday 31st of May, led by Jan-Kees van Kampen.

On saturday at 20h, Arjen Keesmaat and Jan-Kees van Kampen will close the event with a networked performance.

‘hello process’ lectures: in rand() we trust!
13 March 2008, 20.00 - 22.30
Sign, Winschoterkade 10, Groningen
Guests: Florian Cramer, Arie Altena, Adger Stokvisch, Aymeric Mansoux, and Marloes de Valk

During this evening we will be questioning the nature and purpose of generative art. With 4 lectures and an open talk, we investigate whether or not generative art is indeed an art form or just a technique. Is it possible to make a distinction between generative processes, applications of generative processes and generative processes as a conceptual ground for software art? Does the term generative art apply to screen savers, alife, fractal art,, conceptual software/code art and poetry alike?
