Subject: Emergent Art
Under the right conditions, complex patterns and sequences emerge
from the interaction of simple events.
Please see my new work called Emergent Art at
http://www.paulstgeorge.com/emergence/
On the left you will see patterns emerge from the interaction of
cells as they obey the rules of Conway's Game of Life.
On the right you will see a different representation of the same
emerging patterns. The square cells are replaced by vertical lines
and the position and colour of the lines are determined according to
the sequences of coloured cells.
I welcome comments, criticism and also any information about other
forms of emergent art.
Thank you.

Subject: New Work on Turbulence: David Crawford's "Stop Motion Studies"
November 22, 2002
For Immediate Release
Artist's Studios: David Crawford
http://turbulence.org/studios/crawford/index.html
At its heart, the Stop Motion Studies (SMS) series celebrates what can be accomplished within the file size constraints presented by current network architectures. Flash MX is used as both sequencer and streaming technology for what might be referred to as "poor man's video." In any case, the experience is rich while being specific to the online environment.
In terms of conceptual underpinning, the SMS series continues Crawford's investigation into the relationship between technology and our experience of time, space and identity. On top of this is an added interest in exploring public space and in particular, public transportation as a stage on which social dynamics and individual identities are increasingly mediated by technology.
David Crawford is an artist, designer and teacher. As an artist, he has been internationally recognized and received numerous grants, honors and awards from organizations including the National Endowment for the Arts and the San Francisco Modern Museum of Art. As a designer, Crawford has held posts at some of the most preeminent organizations in the world including WGBH Boston, where he is currently working on projects funded by Annenberg/CPB and the National Science Foundation. As a teacher, he has pioneered programs at both the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Pratt Institute and is currently a faculty member at both schools where he is actively engaged in curricular development. He studied at the Massachusetts College of Art with filmmaker Mark Lapore and video artist Julia Scher.

TONIGHT 2 - Werkgespräche am Mittwoch
JAN-HOLGER MAUSS (Hamburg)
eingeladen von Stefanie Grebe
Mittwoch, 13.11.2002, 20.00 Uhr
Jan-Holger Mauss beschäftigt sich mit der Transformation von
Zeichen in verschiedenen Medien- und Zeichensystemen,
besonders mit Systemen, deren Referenzprioritäten nicht mehr
eindeutig sind.
ÑWie die Erfahrung zeigt, kommen wir alleine nicht weiter. Um
die 'Anderweite' der Individualität von Persönlichkeiten zu
erfahren, realisiere ich künstlerische Projekte wie B2B. Dafür
kopierte ich mir aus Eva Grubingers Internetinstallation
'Netzbikini'
(http://www.thing.or.at/thing/netzbikini/print.html) die
Schnittmusterbogenkombination Top-Small/Bottom-Medium für
einen Netzbikini. Da jeder, der Eva ein Abbild von sich im
selbstgeschneiderten Netzbikini zusendet, von ihr ein
Echtheitslabel zum Einnähen bekommt, stellt sich für mich die
Frage: Wer macht das Bild? Seitdem lasse ich mich von
KünstlerInnen in meinem Bikini abbilden. Nach über hundert
Sitzungen bin ich ein geübtes Model, aber auch Muse, denn die
Arbeiten entstehen im Dialog. Da die eingeladenen
KünstlerInnen selbst die Entscheidung über die Art und Weise
der Ausführung treffen, bleiben die Arbeiten in ihrem Besitz.
Der Erfahrungsaustausch erlaubt mir aber die entstandenen
Werke in Absprache auszustellen. Die Zusammenstellungen der
unterschiedlichen Abbildungen von mir sind mein multiples
Selbstportrait - mehr noch die Präsentation der Haltungen der
beteiligten KünstlerInnen.
Seit 1997 fotografiere ich weltweit Cruising Areas mit
Schwarz/Weiß Diapositivfilmen. Diese Abbildungen von
Freizeitlandschaften, die von ihren Benutzern aus
vorgefundenen räumlichen Gegebenheiten bewusst oder unbewusst
für ihre kommunikativen Bedürfnisse gestaltet werden,
präsentiere ich als Projektionen."
(Jan-Holger Mauss)
Zur Projektreihe TONIGHT laden wir internationale
KünstlerInnen ein, die sich im Grenzbereich zwischen Kunst,
Wissenschaft, Politik, Architektur, Fotografie und Film
bewegen. Ziel ist es, ein Forum des Austausches zu schaffen,
bei dem es neben der Auseinandersetzung mit unterschiedlichen
künstlerischen Positionen vor allem darum geht, etwas über das
Selbstverständnis der KünstlerInnen zu erfahren. Werkgespräche
ermöglichen einen intensiven Diskurs, bei dem auch Aspekte wie
persönliche Motivation, politische und soziale Hintergründe
sowie unterschiedliche Arbeitsweisen und -bedingungen ins
Blickfeld geraten.

Doors of Perception 7 (14-15-16 november)
=46low: the design challenge of pervasive computing
P r e s e n t e e r t
De Open Doors Design Grand Prix
15 November 2002, RAI, Amsterdam
15:00 deuren open. 19:30 Einde van de Open Doors presentaties. 20:00
De winnaar wordt bekendgemaakt!
Entree: 10 euro, aan de kassa. Geen reserveringen!
Wat?
Spannend nieuw onderdeel van de 7e Doors of Perception conferentie is
de Open Doors Design Grand Prix. Er worden 22, wereldwijd
geselecteerde, designprojecten gepresenteerd door hun makers. Wat is
het beste scenario voor pervasive computing?
Welk project is het meest opwindend, vernieuwend en zinvol?
Waarom?
We staan aan de vooravond van een wereld waarin de computer is
verdwenen. Kunnen we ons de ultieme connectiviteit van de dingen
voorstellen? Dingen die praten, dingen die discussi=EBren, dingen die
denken? Als de computer verdwijnt, wordt de omgeving de interface.
Waar gaan we ons dan op richten, op zoek naar een knop, een toets,
een button? Waar is je vertrouwde dashboard als je achter het stuur
zit? Voor deze wereld waarin digitale connectiveit alomaanwezig is,
zijn andere dashboards nodig, andere manieren van visualiseren en
nieuwe vaardigheden, die gebruikmaken van al onze zintuigen.
Dat is de ontwerpuitdaging waar Flow over gaat. En waarvoor we deze
designprijs in het leven hebben geroepen.
Een selectie uit de deelnemers:
Jussi =C4ngeslev=E4 van Media Lab Europe presenteert Body Mnemonics:
meta-gereedschap voor draagbare apparaten. Josephine Pletts & Usman
Haque van ontwerpbureau Pletts Haque laten in Hardspace and Softspace
zien hoe 'architectuur' een werkwoord is geworden. Rein Jansma, van
Zwarts & Jansma, combineert in Interactive Carparks, ori=EBntatie,
identiteit en veiligheidsthema's. Lavrans Lovlie & Chris Downs van
Livework versmelten service-ontwerp en duurzaamheidsprincipes in hun
project loome - your personal information broker. Esther Polak &
Jeroen Kee & the Waag Society presenteren in Amsterdam REALTIME een
dagboek in sporen van dagelijkse persoonlijke routes. Welke data
worden informatie? Analia Cervini & Juan Kayser van het Interaction
Design Institute Ivrea stellen in Mobile Embodiments vragen naar de
aard van de mobiele apparaten van de toekomst in een slimme omgeving.
Gary McDarby & John Sharry van Media Lab Europe nemen Mental Leaps
en presenteren brein-computer-interfaces; vergeet de joystick, speel
met je gedachten! Lizbeth Goodman & Jo Gell van SMARTlab, Central
Saint Martins, dansen in Flutterfly waar flow relevant wordt in
bewegingstudies. Liselott Brunnberg van Mobility Studio, Interactive
Institute Zweden, onderzoekt in Backseat Gaming snelle
scenarioveranderingen en het gevoel van beweging; alsof je achterin
een auto meerijdt... Marcus Gosling & Alexander Gr=FCnsteidl van IDEO
vragen zich in cameras wide shut af wat de sociale implicaties zijn
als optische technologie=EBn zo wijdverspreid zijn als onze
lichtknopjes en lampen.
De jury
Ole Bouman (Archis), Sascha Kosch (de:Bug), Chee Pearlman
(correspondent van Wired en de New York Times, Petra Schmidt (Form)
en Deyan Sudjic (Domus, The Observer).

Cinema exhibition. Soft Cinema (screen version) will be shown in other
venues along with the earlier projects Little Movies (1994-1997) and Anna
and Andy (2000). Conceived for the Web in 1994, Little Movies is a eulogy to
the earliest form of digital cinema ‹ QuickTime. Anna and Andy is a
³streaming novel² which uses Tolstoy's Anna Karenina as a script that drives
a computer-generated re-creation of Warhol's Screen Tests.
Soft Cinema Book (limited edition) will be available at ICA and ZKM
bookstores.

SOFT CINEMA
How to represent the subjective experience of living in a global information
society? If daily interaction with volumes of data and numerous messages is
part of our new ³data-subjectivity,² how can we visualize this subjectivity
in new ways using new media?
Soft(ware) Cinema investigates a few approaches toward answering these
questions. Fictional stories excerpted from a collection entitled GUI
(Global User Interface) are presented as a series of short movies. While the
voice over which narrates the stories was edited before hand, everything
else is constructed by the software in real time, including what appears on
the screen, where, and in which sequence. The decisions are based partly on
a system of rules, and are partly random. In other words, Soft Cinema can be
thought of as a semi-automatic VJ (Video Jockey) ‹or more precisely, a FJ
(Film Jockey).
Using Graphical User Interface, financial TV programs and Piet Mondrian as
templates, Soft Cinema breaks the screen into several frames. The videos
that appear within these frames are derived from a large database. Each
video clip in the database follows Dogma 95 rules: it was shot in continuous
takes without edits using a hand-held camera. Most of the clips have been
recorded by the author while in Berlin, Tokyo, Riga, and other locations
between 1999 and 2002; a few clips are simulated (i.e. a still image was
animated to look like a video shot on location).

Subject: -empyre- : constructing the virtual
- -empyre- takes pleasure in introducing our next guests and theme--
November 2002 - Virtual Construction
Please join us for a wide ranging discussion on the possibilities of virtual
construction as viral and pandemic with Joseph Nechvatal, electronic media
animator/painter/philosopher; and, later in the month, as identity and
network with Gregory Little, an electronic media artist whose art engages
issues of avatar and immersion.
Transmedia artist and philospher Joseph Nechvatal engages "viractuality"
(occasions where the virtual and the actual merge), and tests the grounds
for a technological and erotic aesthetic of virtuality. Electronic media
artist, writer and editor Gregory Little explores constructions of identity
in networked virtual environments as an artistic medium, while focusing on
issues related to consensual identity, avatars (avatara), being inside-out,
abjection, hierarchies and the "Body w/o Organs", and the post-human.
Viractualism with Joseph Nechvatal November 1-15 & Avatar Manifesos with
Gregory Little November 15 -30
