[Ada_list] Emerging Pixels

Emerging Pixels
By AUT University students
Digital Art Live
Owens Foyer, Level 2, Aotea Centre

Wednesday 14 December 2011 - Tuesday 31 January 2012

Emerging Pixels
Digital Art Live offers the opportunity for young digital and
interactive artists to present their works. Emerging Pixels showcases
emerging talents from the Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies at
AUT University.

Skylight
By Robert Carter and Christine Probert
14 December 2011 to 5 January 2012 *

Skylight establishes a connection with the atmospheric environment, in
a space which is normally well insulated from sun, rain and wind. As the
turbulence of human activity builds in the room, the screen becomes a
mirror to the recent past of the sky above. This installation combines
artificial intelligence with photography to create a new view of the sky
above the Aotea Centre.

Robert Carter and Christine Probert are James Charlton's students of
the Bachelor of Creative Technology from the Interdisciplinary Unit.

Dimensions
by Olivier Ou and Leo Zhou
6 to 19 January 2012

Dimensions is based on the concept of timelines and movement. As you
move in front of the Digital Art Live screen, your image is projected
onto the screen in edited fragments. The artwork gives the viewer a new
perspective their body in time.

Olivier Ou and Leo Zhou are James Charlton's students of the Bachelor
of Creative Technology from the Interdisciplinary Unit.

AirDJ
By Justin Matthews, Carl Naysmith, Oezge Koeroglu, Florian Pahler and
Hans Tommy
20 to 31 January 2012

AirDJ allows the audience to use the movement of their hands in front
of the Digital Art Live screen to control and conduct a series of
musical loops. AirDJ provides an engaging and fun interactive experience
for people to play and create their own musical score.

Justin Matthews, Carl Naysmith, Oezge Koeroglu, Florian Pahler and Hans
Tommy are Ans Bradford's students from AUT's School of Communication
Studies.

* THE EDGE will be closed from 24 December 2011 to 3 January 2012.

the uk, 13 hours behind us, presented from 2 houses & co-authored by a

online on saturday night :)

[Ada_list] Dan Untitled - live and direct in Wellington next weds 14th

Live Mashup Performance
Übermahlung und Frottage – Dan Untitled Live

9pm sharp, 14 Dec 2011
Terrace Bar (Level 1, Garden Club), 13 Dixon Street, Wellington, New Zealand 6001

Live to-air-set on Radio Active: 5.45pm (NZ time), 14 Dec 2011 – tune in (88.6FM in Wellington) or stream (radioactive.fm, and comments welcome on @radioactive.fm on facebook)

Dan Untitled's live mashup act is a bit crazy. Music you can bounce to, but pushing the boundaries of what might seem technically possible - live samples, scratches and fretless bass all at the same time.

Dan has been making mashups for years (prior to Übermahlung und Frottage he played in the live audiovisual duo Anaesthesia Associates). He has played in London, Berlin, and around New Zealand. His recent webcast performances have also reached audiences in Barcelona and at the Museum of Modern Art Oxford. Dan is a regular contributor to the weekly radio show Messed Up (4-7pm every Sat on @radioactive.fm), and he is a member of the Bootie NZ crew (who premiered the world's largest mashup party in NZ). Dan is a doctoral candidate at Massey University's School of Fine Arts, and his practice-based research focuses on mashup performance.

Come join the fun at this intimate, limited capacity performance. Free entry, starting 9pm sharp. The gig is immediately followed by Messed Up co-host/Bootie NZ DJ Shane Forge's weekly Vinetime gig, which runs on into the wee hours.

The end.
