‘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?

Chaos theory, finite state machines, randomness, entropy, non linear systems and non deterministic automata, l-systems, self-similar series, recursions and iterations. WTF? LOLZ

The term generative art should not attempt to describe any art-movement or ideology. It’s a method of making digital art. This term refers to how the art is made, and not taking into account why it was made, what the content of the artwork is or what the intention of the artist is.

Generative techniques applied to digital art and sound art can greatly enhance and widen the field of possibilities brought inside an artwork by giving an extra degree of freedom to creative processes designed by the artist.

Here it is! The Digital Artists Handbook!

WHAT?
The Handbook is a new, up to date, reliable and accessible source of information that introduces artists and students to different tools, resources and ways of working related to digital art with a strong focus on the use of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS).

HOW?
The goal of the Handbook is to be a signpost, a source of practical information and content that bridges the gap between new users and the platforms and resources that are available, but not always very accessible. The Handbook will be slowly filled with articles written by invited artists, theoreticians and practitioners from a wide range of media art and media design fields.

Members of Goto10 will take part in a performance event at the Transmediale festival 2008 on the first of February in Berlin. The even, Moving Forest, is a 12 hour 5 act sonic performance to be intervened by an expandable citywide operatic manoeuver with public wifi and mobile technology. Derived from Kurosawa’s film version of Macbeth, Spider Web Castle. Moving Forest renders the film’s final sequences (12 minutes in length) into a 12 hour sonica of grand scale.

Moving Forest reinvents a modern edition of a Castle Central and a city in revolt. Inside the castle, the downfall of the assumed power; outside in the city, the mobilized urbanites march with generated sounds of insurgence towards the imaginary Central. Moving Forest collaborates with sound artists to compose acts and scores, at the same time, drafts a PD (pure data) conspiracy scheme, performing live with citywide wifi transmitted intervention.

Chun Lee (aka Lee Jun) will give a performance on the 5th of January 2008 in Taipei, as part of the Lacking Sound Festival.

During their residency at the Waag, they were working on Meshy, an interactive installation and a next step in their Metabiosis project, a collection of works about digital life and autonomous creation processes. The Artists-in-residence programme is kindly supported by the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts and the GATE programme of ICTRegie.
