European time, which is 7am on Saturday in New Zealand. The schedule of

The performances in the final block are:
* /Edward King <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2652#ek>/: Times
Square on Christmas Eve. Did Edward King kill someone? Was the man
his father? Do the Rockettes know the secret? Tune in for the avatar
can-can and join in the Hallucinated Hallelujah Chorus, as Edward
King asks: "Who am I?" By Marlena Corcoran (Munich/Venice) with
Marischka Klinkhamer (Amsterdam), Vicki Smith (Aotearoa/New Zealand)
and Ben Unterman (Vancouver).
* /Is This On? <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2652#is_this_on>/:
sympathising with the computer, unexpected love and jealousy between
open source and proprietary software form the perfect setting for a
geek tragedy. By Inge Hoonte & Birgit Bachler (the Netherlands) and
students of the Networked Media department at the Piet Zwart
Institute in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
* /Magfalda meets the world in pieces
<http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2652#mag>/: an innocent and
unpretentious journey to the (re)discovery of the world in pieces
that surrounds us. By Gabriella Sacco (Amsterdam, Netherlands),
Valentina Tibaldi (Torino, Italy).
* /Property & Theft <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2652#pt>/: an
Automated Confessional Service - a cross between a Catholic
confession and an automated telephone payment service - this
mechanical, comodified and malfunctioning Confessional Service
elicits absurd public confessions of wrongdoing from participants,
and then suggests appropriate penance for the participant to enact
there and then. By Olivia Furber, Harry Giles, et al (Edinburgh,
Scotland).
* /Where are the clouds?

Buonaiuto (Italy) and The Levi@hans.
* /Flat Earth <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2652#fe>/: a poetic
journey on the source of ideas, and how we build ideas from images
that come in our mind; playing with perception, the focus, the
distraction of it, time, size and distance, the imagination, and the
memory of things and scenes. By Petyr Veenstra and Floris Sirag (the
Netherlands).
* /String Games <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2652#wake>/:
using the ancient practice of Whai (String Games) a navigational

We hope you can join us for some of these great shows, and stick around
for the party afterwards!

My room in an apartment in the suburbs of Paris is going to be free
over the December-January-February period coming up and my housemate
Marion thinks I should see if I can find someone to chip in towards my
rent for all or some of that time while I'm away. This would be a
great opportunity for anyone who wants to spend quite a bit of time in
Paris (or who needs a base in Europe for a while), and wants to live
like a local (and pay like a local) instead of a tourist.
I pay 525 euros a month + 60 or so for bills but I'd be willing to
negotiate for the financially-challenged. It's a good-sized two
bedroom apartment with a living room and a kitchen etc. But of course
the main factor is my housemate Marion who is ace - she's there only a
few days a week and she's the friendliest person on earth. She's
French but her English is great.
It's on the 5th floor of a building next to a couple of schools, a
theatre and a church so it's very quiet in the evenings and gets lots
of natural light. We're 5 mins walk from the suburban trains which
take 12 mins to get to the centre of Paris (and 5 mins to Gare du
Nord) and we're 13 mins walk from the nearest metro station. We have
high-speed unlimited internet and unlimited international calls to
landlines. There's also a PS3, an XBOX 360 and a big screen TV for
gaming in the lounge, and there's a desk and a large-ish external
monitor in my room for working.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Denis
The suburb we're in is Saint-Dénis and it's radically different from
most people's idea of France. To me Saint-Dénis is culturally exciting
and vibrant - but it's not everybody's cup of tea. Sometimes you get
the feeling you're in North Africa instead of France, and our market
days make most Parisian markets look quiet and tame. On the other hand
Saint-Dénis used to be the capital of France, and our basilica gives
Notre Dame a run for its money. Oh and the biggest plus? It's way
cheaper than living in Paris proper. Life here is quite a bit cheaper,
in fact, than Australia (where I will be spending the three months
while I'm away).
Anyway so anyone who's interested, please get in touch with questions etc.

would love you to join us for the online event at 8.30pm European time
on Saturday 15 October (find your local time here
<http://tinyurl.com/65qzw88>).
this performance of 'make-shift' is part of the Umetnost Radi Akcije
Festival in Novi Sad, Serbia, where Helen is; and Paula is in a house in
London.
To access the performance go to www.make-shift.net and follow the LIVE
LINK in the top right hand corner of the home page. Please get there a
few minutes early to make sure that everything loads ok.
There is more information about the work below and we look forward to
you joining us on Saturday.
Best wishes
Paula and Helen

"When I was growing up and something important got sucked up the hoover,
my mum could be persuaded to get a piece of newspaper, unfold it on the
floor and empty the cloth bag to try and find the missing thing. I don't
do that. Barbie shoes, fuzzy felt animals, bits of lego that are really
important parts of a helicopter, multi-coloured beads from broken
bracelets. I don't care. Up into the hoover it goes and away with it. To
somewhere else. Outside my home. To where I can't see it anymore."/
??make-shift is a unique and intimate networked performance that speaks
about the fragile connectivity of human and ecological relationships.
Devised by Paula Crutchlow (Devon based performer and director) and
Helen Varley Jamieson (NZ writer and cyberformer) the performance takes
place simultaneously in two separate houses that are connected through a
specially designed online interface. Paula and Helen (one in each house)
stage their part of the work with the help of a group of around 15 local
audience members. Scripted and visually poetic performance is
interspersed with webcam videography, avatar puppetry and audience
interaction in the format of a performative salon. Everything that
happens in the houses is streamed to online audiences who can also
contribute text chat visible on the interface to everyone throughout the
event.
make-shift is an ecologically aware house party with a difference. As
well as experiencing the intimacy, viscerality and shared experience of
a live performance event; local and online audiences participate in a
call-and-response between people, landscape and culture to discuss the
theme of 'disposability' in its broadest sense.
/"Helen and Paula arranged the magical elements of telematic performance
for the make-shift event at HTTP Gallery in a montage of stuff, poetry,
sound, images, dialogue, polemic and actions. It was utterly engrossing
and left us all with a thrilling sense of the unexplored potential of
theatre and performance in the networked age." /Ruth Catlow, HTTP Gallery.

INVISIBLE FIELDS
GEOGRAPHIES OF RADIO WAVES
14 OCTOBER 2011 - 4 MARCH 2012
BARCELONA
http://www.lighthouse.org.uk/programme/invisible-fields
Invisible Fields is a major new international
exhibition at Arts Santa Mònica in Barcelona
Spain, co-produced by Lighthouse. It brings
together over a dozen internationally known
artists, designers and scientists to explore the
radio spectrum - the invisible environment that
underpins contemporary technology. Co-curated by
José Luis de Vicente and Honor Harger, the show
includes significant works by Rafael
Lozano-Hemmer, Trevor Paglen, Timo Arnall, Joyce
Hinterding and many more.
The show is presented in the Laboratory space of
Arts Santa Mònica
<http://www.artssantamonica.cat/> directed by
Josep Perelló.
Invisible Fields explores how our understanding
of our world and our cosmos has been transformed
by the study of radio waves. With the invention
of telecommunication technology at the end of the
19th century, the radio spectrum became a tool
for rethinking the world we live in. Radio
collapsed geographical distance, crossed borders
and cultures, became a powerful catalyst for
commerce and enabled scientists to study the
cosmos in entirely new ways. Yet whilst the radio
spectrum is the invisible infrastructure that
enables the technologies of information and
communication, most people are unaware of the way
it works, how it is managed, and how it is has
shaped our understanding of our lived environment.
Invisible Fields aims to shine a light on this enigmatic landscape.
The exhibition differs from past explorations of
these topics, in that it is conceived as an
interdisciplinary blend of social-cultural
analysis, science communication, and artistic
practice.
ARTISTS IN THE SHOW
Timo Arnall (BERG), Thomas Ashcraft, Matthew
Biederman, Anthony DeVincenzi (MIT Media Lab),
Diego Diaz and Clara Boj, Joyce Hinterding,
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Trevor Paglen, Job Ramos,

being published and will be available in
November. It features essays by Douglas Kahn,
Adam Greenfield, Martin Howse, Josep Perelló and
others.
Lighthouse will be working with partners to bring the show to the UK in 2012.
MORE ABOUT THE SHOW
More than a linear, historical narration of the
evolution of spectrum technologies, Invisible
Fields can best be understood as an
"observatory", which enables visitors to perceive
the radio spectrum. It sets out the spectrum as a
physical space, invisible but present, a terrain
that can be studied, mapped, surveyed and
explored. It is an environment made of signals
and waves from nature, and from us. Its
topography is formed of waves of different
scales, from tiny emissions given off by domestic
objects to vast emissions made by distant
astronomical phenomena. It's made up of signals
that are very familiar, such as television and
radio, and signals which are esoteric and
enigmatic. It is an ecology that has public
spaces - wireless internet and amateur radio -
and secret spaces - coded military transmissions
and clandestine signals.
Following on from pioneers such as John Cage,
Alvin Lucier and Pauline Oliveros, contemporary
artists such as Thomas Ashcraft, Semiconductor
and Joyce Hinterding create powerful works that
allow us to understand the radio spectrum as an
extension of the natural world.
Sitting alongside their almost Emersonian
understanding of radio as nature, is recent work
in the field of architecture, design and
urbanism, which expands the notion of urban space
into the invisible realm of the spectrum.
"Hertzian space", a term coined by designers,
Anthony Dunne & Fiona Raby, is defined by our
transmissions of radio, television, wireless
internet, GPS data and mobile phone signals. It
is a space interrogated by artists and designers
such as Timo Arnall from the BERG group in
London, and Clara Boj and Diego Diaz who create
clever visualisations of the presence of waves in
our daily life.
Elsewhere in the show, artist Rafael
Lozano-Hemmer's monumental tribute to the radio
dial, enables us to physically move through radio
transmissions, giving us a visceral encounter
with our ethereal cultural surroundings. And
experimental geographer and artist, Trevor Paglen
and artist-activists, RIXC, shed light on the
dark zones of the spectral landscape.
Invisible Fields is not only concerned with the
topology of the radio landscape, but rather the
socio-political activities that take place within
it. Alongside the artworks in the show are
operational workshops, which remind us that our
position with the architecture of the spectrum is
far from being that of a passive observer. As
such, the exhibition space hosts intensive
activity for a wide variety of audiences, with
workshops on Sunday mornings, and a complete
education programme offered to schools.
Taken together the works in Invisible Fields make
the intangible materiality of the electromagnetic
spectrum visible and audible. They open up the
Hertzian space around us, and above us, to our
senses. The visions of artists, the solutions of
designers, and the experiments of scientists give

Sparkling Spices is an interactive artwork based on Diwali, the Festival of Lights. One of the main feature attractions of Diwali Festival is its fireworks. Kritteka's interactive artwork will fuse the Auckland City cityscape with the vibrancy and colour of her Indian culture using traditional Indian artwork called Kolam patterns. This dynamic artwork reacts with the movement of people and these patterns explode across the interactive screen.
This event is happening in conjunction with Auckland's Diwali Festival, 8-9 October in Aotea Square. Auckland's popular Diwali Festival brings the sights, sounds, tastes and energy of India to the heart of Auckland.
Kritteka Gregory migrated to New Zealand from India in 1999. In 2010 she graduated from AUT University with a Bachelors of Art & Design in Digital Design. She is currently studying Masters dealing with Indian diaspora in New Zealand culture. Kritteka's work varies from 2D to 3D with her main focus on Visual Effects.
