>>> Dear friends, colleagues
>>>
>>> We are relisting a position (deadline November 18) for a Computer Graphics Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in the School of Design, Victoria University of Wellington. A one sentence role description would read: ''Seeking artist/designer who makes interesting work with computer programming techniques'. Our last attempt attracted a lot of graphic designers and cultural theory researchers. We want someone who knows how to code, loves to code, but is more of an artist/designer rather than a CS person. More info below – feel free to circulate.
>>>
>>> Position Title: Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Media Design (with specialisation in Computer Graphics)
>>> Position Location: School of Design, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
>>>
>>> Starting in 2012, the School of Design introduces a new Masters qualification in Computer Graphics as part of its MDI offerings. It runs in collaboration with the Computer Science Computer Graphics Masters qualification; the MDI places a focus on aesthetics and creative output using computer graphics techniques while the Computer Science degree places emphasis on the progression of scientific techniques, fidelity and performance. Students from both programmes are required to take a portion of coursework in the other school, as well as working together in co-taught electives. As such, team building and managing such group dynamics will be important competencies.
>>>
>>> These Computer Graphics qualifications are sponsored by the New Zealand government's Ministry of Science and Innovation, and by local industry partners who are recognized internationally for work in the Computer Graphics field: Weta Digital, Unlimited Realities and Sidhe. These companies have already helped shape this degree with valuable feedback on its feasibility, structure and future goals. They are also committed in various other ways: with funding, review of student work, guest lectures, PhD scholarships and internship possibilities.
>>>
>>> Applicants should be both experienced and knowledgeable in cutting edge art/design teaching, research and practice. Areas of expertise should include a creative approach to any number of the following production methods: generative/procedural graphics, animation, generative/procedural 3D, interactive graphics, parameterized design, computer graphics for augmented reality experiences, stereoscopic/3D film production, computer graphics for game design, and/or computer graphics for film/video production. Applicants should also possess a strong working knowledge of related studio practice and all relevant software.
>>>
>>> Candidates given preference for the position will hold a Masters or PhD degree (or equivalent) in Media Art/Design with a deep understanding of various programming approaches, or in Computer Science with a deep understanding of Media Art/Design, and who have recognized high quality research achievements and creative outputs in these fields.

[Ada_list] Free discussion about interactive art, collaboration and intellectual property

Digital Art Live and Transmedia NZ present a discussion about interactive art, collaboration and intellectual property.​

To create the interactive work Be Tender<http://www.the-edge.co.nz/Event-Pages/B/Be-Tender.aspx>, artist Reuben Paterson worked with developer Izac Hancock. Such collaborations are becoming more common, especially in the digital art world, but how does this relationship work?

Artistic collaborations also bring into the spotlight intellectual property issues. This seminar will discuss IP issues for artists, developers and third party commissioners. It will look at all perspectives and how to safeguard everyone's interests.
The panel will consist of Reuben Paterson (Artist), Izac Hancock (Developer), Frances Joseph (AUT CoLab), David McLaughin (McLaughin Law) and Fiona Milburn will be moderating on behalf of Transmedia NZ.

Wednesday 23 November / 6 to 8 pm / Aotea Centre, level 2 / Free event (Happy Hour drink prices and snacks available)
Please RSVP to NolwennH@ the-edge.co.nz before the 18th of November.

[Ada_list] room in Paris available

In case anyone wants to spend time in Paris over the southern summer... Katharine's email is katharine.neil@gmail.com
Melanie
--

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.
