before breakfast we talked about the furthest visible point before it all disappeared examines the construct of objects that are informed by a relation to space, time and materiality. According to Bruno Latour, objects exist in the axis of their networks and bring with them a sense of connectedness, or an expanded anamnesis triggered by their ambiguous qualities.

[Ada_list] Performance Ethics Working Group Podcasts

Hi, I'd like to share with ADA the recently completed Performance
Ethics Working Group Podcasts. Enjoy listening.

The Performance Ethics Working Group has been talking to people about
ethics and performance for the last two years and now we've gone
public with the results in a series of podcasts that look at what
ethics has to do with performance. Investigating the legacy of
transgressive performance art, the ethics of working with communities,
traditional knowledges and audiences, not to mention the ethics of how
performers are treated and paid the podcasts address some of the most
complex issues confronting contemporary theatre, dance and visual arts
practitioners today.

Drawing from their direct experiences of making, commissioning and
viewing performance work, the participants discuss these complex
questions using concrete examples, exposing their failures to secure
the wellbeing of audiences, communities and performers alongside their
successes.

There are nine podcasts in total bringing together the voices of 23
different creators, directors, curators, producers, and researchers
including: Hadleigh Averill, Stephen Bain, Sally Barnett, Chris
Braddock, Carol Brown, Craig Cooper, David Cross, Sean Curham, Alison
East, Murray Edmond, Brent Harris, Mark Harvey, Mark Jackson, Alys
Longley, Rose Martin, Sally J Morgan, Moana Nepia, Tru Paraha, Val
Smith, Louise Tu'u, Kalisolaite 'Uhila, Alexa Wilson, and Becca Wood.

Listen via the University Without Conditions website:
universitywithoutconditions.ac.nz/?page_id=201
Subscribe on itunes:
https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/performance-ethics-working/id846935903

Episodes include:

Episode 1: What is ethics? (launched at the Festival of Uncertainty,
23 March 2014)
This first podcast introduces the idea of ethics as a daily practice
and philosophical enquiry, exploring what we think the broad concept
of ethics covers.

Episode 2: How we treat our audiences (published April 8, 2014)
The second podcast asks what responsibilities performers and producers
have towards their audiences and talks about how these can conflict
with the conceptual integrity of the work. We raise the question of
how we determine what is offensive and who gets to decide that.

Episode 3: Reviewing performance art and ethics historically
(published April 11, 2014)
During the interviews a number of historical examples from performance
art were reviewed such as Marina Abramovic's Rhythm 0 (1974), along
John Duncan's Blind Date (1980), along more contemporary works like
Pania Lincoln and Hadleigh Averill's Lunchtime Scrabble (1996), in
which a shooting was too effectively simulated and Mike Parr's Kingdom
Come and/or Punch Holes In The Body Politic (2005) at Sydney Artspace.
All of these works have challenged the performers and the audience to
identify what their limits are, and when they will say stop.

Episode 4: The ethics of community engagement (published April 16, 2014)
The fourth episode explores the issues which research in and with
communities brings up. Consent, collaboration, going undercover and
the imbalances of power between the artist and community are all
talked about while we investigate how community arts projects and
relational aesthetics projects can be ethically approached

Episode 5: Ethics of working with traditional and indigenous
knowledges (published April 24, 2014)
Recognising that the performing arts in Aotearoa New Zealand are
structured and understood through dominantly western paradigms the
fifth podcast examines the complexities of decolonising performance
exploring the strategies we can employ to work intelligently work
across cultures.

Episode 6: How we manage the ethics of money (Published April 30, 2014)
Episode six turns to the vexed question of money in the economically
marginal field of performance. Discussing neoliberalism and cultures
of exploitation, internships, alternative economies, unequal financial
distribution and the decommodification of art the participants speak
frankly of the ways they have approached the issue of equitable
sharing funds and enabling work to be created.

Episode 7: Working relationships within the performance community
(Published May 8, 2014)
The seventh podcast deals with ethical labour relationships between
performers and institutions, festivals, curators, directors and
choreographers. It addresses the issue of protecting of the performer
from real physical risks as well as ensuring they have the
psychological resilience necessary to make specific works before
moving into the history of poor treatment and sometimes outright abuse
of performers in the field of dance.

Episode 8: The University ethics process (Published May 22, 2014)
The eighth episode turns to the University, an institution which has
long addressed the issue of applied ethics in research. However,
these processes were initially developed for medical, sociological and
anthropological research. Drawing from the participants experiences at
Universities across New Zealand, Australia and the UK this podcast
explores the positive benefits and negative effects of submitting work
in development to the ethics committee.

Episode 9: Authorship in collaboration (Published May 28, 2014)
This bonus episode focusses on how we handle authorship in
collaborative processes. It brings together the participants thoughts
on the topic from debunking the myth of solo authorship and
recognising the positivity of influence, to adequate programme credits
and audience or community participation.

The Performance Ethics Working Group is research cluster in the
University Without Conditions, a free university and self-organising
collective, without ties to Government or corporations. We exist not
to produce 'degrees for jobs', but to enable a human being to improve
themselves and the society in which they exist.

[Ada_list] CSAA Conference at UOW

Hello all,

It would be great to see some ADA faces at this event later this year:

This year's Cultural Studies Association of Australasia conference, which will be hosted by the University of Wollongong.

CfP Due Date: 13th June, 2014.

For further details: lha.uow.edu.au/hsi/csaa2014
Cultural Studies Association of Australasia Conference 2014
3 - 5 December 2014
University of Wollongong
Conference Theme: Provocations
Keynote Speakers: Professor Joseph Pugliese, Associate Professor Katina Michael, Dr Kath Albury, and Profs. Erin Manning and Brian Massumi
The 2014 Cultural Studies Association of Australasia (CSAA) conference theme 'provocations' calls for papers that pursue various forms of action, change, or questioning. Such critical responses might be in reaction to global social transformations or the local minutiae of everyday life, and might be incited by creative practice, cultural analysis or imaginings of a more ethical present. Provocations might be understood to operate at the macro level in terms of politics, governance and law or at the scale of individual bodies, artistic endeavours and engagements with new technologies and social networks.

In anticipation of exploring these ideas, the conference is organised around six thematic streams and each stream will have an individual call for papers:

· Catastrophe

· Secrets

· Flesh

· Harm

· Exposure

· Activism

Committee: Dr Lisa Slater, Dr Nadine Ehlers, Professor Mark McLelland, Professor Sue Turnbull, Dr Ruth Walker, Dr Nicky Evans

[Ada_list] On Behalf - National Digital Forum 2014 - Call for Papers due 30th May

The National Digital Forum is a network of people working together to
enhance digital interaction with culture and heritage. Their conference is
on 25-26 November 2014 - at Te Papa, Wellington.

- - -
Call for presentations NDF2014

We're delighted to announce the call out for presenters for the National
Digital Forum 2014 (25–26 November, Museum of New Zealand Te Papa
Tongarewa, Wellington).

The conference will be a mixture of keynote presentations, plenary sessions
and lightning talks. We are also interested in running pre/post conference
workshops, so do get in touch if you have an idea for those.

To get a sense of the National Digital Forum, please take a look at the
line up for past conferences http://www.ndf.org.nz/past-conferences/
What are we looking for this year?

We are keen to hear from practitioners from across the GLAM sector. If you
would like to raise a pressing issue, share an inspiring project, or
discuss opportunities and challenges in the sphere of digital cultural
heritage, we look forward to hearing from you.

We welcome proposals on any topic that's affecting the culture and heritage
sector, but if that's too broad here are a few starters:

- Cross-sector GLAM initiatives – how can we work together better? Where
are the most interesting and useful points of connection?
- Crowd sourcing and gamification – how can our users helpfully
contribute to our work? And what are some smart ideas for managing those
relationships?
- Indigenous knowledge and digital preservation – how do we build and
preserve the memory of a multicultural nation?
- The evolution of libraries as community hubs – what is the future of
libraries? What does major change mean for core users and traditional
services?
- DIY archives – how can we respond as the conventional parameters of
our sector expand? What new platforms does the collective memory inhabit?

The conference is not limited to these topics however, and we encourage you
to submit your abstract even if it falls outside of this framework.

Please feel free to email Conference Convenors, Thomasin and Matthew at
conference@ndf.org.nz if you would like to discuss your proposal prior to
submitting.

Proposals are due *Friday 30 May*.

Submit your proposals via the form on this page

[Ada_list] For : Janine Randerson - Press release - Action and Delay

*Press Release:*

Action and Delay

a symposium and workshop on temporality
in performance and media arts, AUT University, Auckland

day one symposium Friday 30 May-
day two workshop Saturday 31 May 2014

*Keynote addresses: Bruce Barber and Laresa Kosloff,*

*with live performances from Darcell Apelu and a tour by Christina
Houghton.*

Symposium (day one) The AUT Art & Performance Research Group, in
association with the Masters of Performance and Media Arts, is hosting
'Action and Delay' a critically engaging one day symposium followed by a
one day workshop that focuses on AUT's new performance facilities. The
symposium features highly respected media and performance practitioners
including Melbourne-based artist Laresa Kosloff (featured in 'Made Active'
at the AAG, 2012) and New Zealand-born Bruce Barber, a curator, writer and
performer who is well known for his explorations of the radical nature of
performance.

Workshop (day two) For the workshop AUT's performance space and motion
capture facilities will host the experimental workshop 'Mediating
performance systems'. The open workshop includes live performers,
responsive sound platforms and live-streaming to the AUT TV screens.
Researchers include Jennifer Nikolai, Andrew Denton, Greg Bennett, Janine
Randerson, Javier Esteves from AUT and Teresa Connors and Sean Castle
(University of Waikato).

Symposium and Workshop Themes

Live actions and recorded events have multiple modalities in contemporary
performance and media arts practice; live in the sense of 'being there', as
an audience/performer in physical space*, *or,
a mediated understanding of an event and its remote unfolding. This
symposium profiles forays into the unstable binaries of proximity and
remoteness, liveness and delay, the spontaneous and the staged, bodies and
technologies, performance and reenactment, the 'delegated' performance and
'live' installation.

Convened by Greg Bennett, Chris Braddock and Janine Randerson in
conjunction with the Art & Performance Research Group and in association
with the Masters of Performance and Media Arts Degree, School of Art &
Design at AUT .

*The symposium is free but spaces are limited, *

[Ada_list] DAL opening / Cut And Paste by Jenna Gavin / Thursday 15 May 5.30 pm

Digital Art Live invites you to join us for the opening of the new interactive exhibition Cut and Paste by Jenna Gavin

Thursday 15 May from 5.30 to 7 pm

Auckland, Aotea Centre, Level 2

Happy Hours drinks and nibbles provided


Cut and Paste is a refreshing exhibition that mixes play, art and literature. Using the metaphor of a scrapbook, this interactive work invites the audience to select words from New Zealand poems. These words become a trigger for a digital poetry lexicon, creating a brand new poem that will appear on the screen. The underlying message of this artist's work is that new concepts stem from existing ideas and this is the nature of creativity.

At 6 pm, discover more about the work with a short presentation by the artist Jenna Gavin and the curator Nolwenn Lacire. Then in celebration of the Auckland Writers Festival, New Zealand poets Siobhan Harvey and Maris O'Rourke will read a selection of their poems.

More info<http://colab.aut.ac.nz/dal/exhibitions/cut-and-paste/>



The exhibition will then be accessible until Monday 14 July 2014
Monday to Friday 7.30am to 6pm*
*Digital Art Live will remain open late and during weekends if there is a show in the Aotea Centre.

Auckland, Aotea Centre, Level 2

[Ada_list] Conference: Born Digital and Cultural Heritage

Apologies for x-postings.


The International Born Digital and Cultural Heritage conference will be held on 19-20 June, 2014, at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. The event is one of the outcomes of the 'Play It Again' project, which is focused on 1980s Australian and New Zealand game history and preservation. It is a collaboration between Flinders University, University of Melbourne, Victoria University of Wellington (NZ), the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, the New Zealand Film Archive, and the Berlin Computerspiele Museum.

The program features an exciting line-up of papers from scholars, artists, and practitioners from Finland, U.S., U.K., Germany, Poland, Japan, Samoa, New Zealand and Australia on topics from: demoscene history to manuscripts, archiving tweets to the 'right to be forgotten', Japanese game preservation efforts to artist's apps, and much much more.

Our two keynote speakers -- Dr Henry Lowood (Stanford, U.S.), and Dr Anne Laforet (ESADS, France) - are experts in digital game and net art preservation, respectively.

All the program details, plus abstracts and speaker's bios are on the conference website: http://playitagainproject.org/conference

Registration:
Full $210 (early bird is $180, valid until 18th April, so be quick!), $110 single day.

[Ada_list] Free seminar to discuss interactive art and science communication / Auckland 29 April

We invite you to join us for a seminar to discuss interactive art and
science communication in relation to the interactive exhibition Spectrum.

Tuesday 29 April, 2 to 4 pm
AUT university, Sir Paul Reeve building, lvl 4 , room WG404
Free with afternoon tea provided after the seminar


Colab and School of Computer and Mathematical Sciences (Auckland University
of Technology) invited the artists of the collective Unguarded Intersection
to work with the PhD students Shuaib Memon and Akbar Hossain whose focussed
on emergency Wi-Fi and cognitive radio. At first, this seemed an unlikely
partnership; however Unguarded Intersection were surprised by the visual
similarities between popular social games and technical depictions of radio
frequency spectrums.

This unusual collaboration between scientists and artists was the starting
point of the interactive exhibition Spectrum. It utilizes aspects of
gaming, popular culture and mobile storytelling to draw the audience into
the unseen world of digital communications and networks.

The seminar will discuss the challenge of science communication and will
use the project Spectrum as a case study. The artists from Unguarded
Intersection Fiona Milburn and Mark Shafer, the PhD students Shuaib Memon
and Akbar Hossain, Colab co-director Frances Joseph, the leader of the
network research group Associate Professor Nurul Sarkar and Digital Art
Live curator Nolwenn Hugain-Lacire will discuss this experience. Professor
Shaun Hendy from Auckland University department of Physics will expand on
this discussion. The programme will be chaired by Colab co-director
Associate professor Charles Walker.

Please RSVP to nolwennh@the-edge.co.nz by 22 April

The Spectrum exhibition is free and accessible at Aotea Centre, level 2,
weekdays from 7.30 am to 6 pm (open late and during weekends if there is a
show in the Aotea Centre).

[Ada_list] Copy Wildly Workshop and Finissage, this Saturday 2pm

Dear ADA_list,

my exhibition Copy Wildly at Toi Pōneke Arts Centre is closing this Saturday 4pm.
At 2pm I will be holding a workshop on how to copy the exhibition,
with the help of the material on the USB-stick.

This will also be the last chance to copy (or buy) a USB-stick.

We'll start off with a tour through the show and then have a look together how to rebuild/recreate the artworks with the help of the data on the stick:

We'll discuss the technical and conceptual aspects of the works. I can give you a peek behind the interfaces, show and explain the hardware and software behind all works. We'll have a look at some of the code (Python, Bash, Processing), web interfaces (HTML, CSS), hardware (Arduino) and discuss possibilites of rebuilding/modifying the existing works with and without previous coding experience.

There will be drinks (thanks, Garage Beer!) to celebrate the last hours of the show.

Thanks to all who made it to the opening,
hope to see some of you on Saturday.

RSVP via e-mail or Facebook https://www.facebook.com/events/1406038429654128

Thanks,

Birgit

[Ada_list] Call for performances and papers: Action and Delay: temporality in performance and media arts

Action and Delay
a symposium on temporality in performance and media arts
30-31 May 2014 - AUT University Auckland



We are pleased to invite you to send an abstract for blind peer review for an academic paper and/or performance for participation in a two-day symposium in the School of Art & Design at AUT University, Auckland. Topics may be situated across a range of disciplines in relation to notions of temporality in performance and media arts. We anticipate a broad exploration of disciplines such as dance, theatre, public art, social practices, online media, sound works, performance art and video installation.



Live actions and recorded events have multiple modalities in contemporary performance and media arts practice; live in the sense of 'being there', as an audience/performer in physical space, or, a mediated understanding of an event and its remote unfolding. This discussion asks questions about spectatorship (how performance is experienced) and temporality (when does performance happen). In this context, performance and its relationship to media arts might provoke reflections on multiple temporal schemas, or the potential of broader social access generated through live-casting or streaming. We invite forays into the unstable binaries of proximity and remoteness, liveness and delay, the spontaneous and the staged, bodies and technologies, performance and reenactment, the 'delegated' performance and 'live' installation.

In the 1960s experiments with 'liveness', 'real-time' and 'feedback' spread through avant-garde media and performance practice. Nam June Paik delighted in the spontaneous affects of the closed circuit loop of real-time video, Joan Jonas rolled with the camera, Lygia Clark introduced 'dialogue goggles' and Hans Haacke fused real-time social, ecological and informational systems. By the early 1990s Stelarc's robotic arm could be manipulated by audiences in distant countries. In New Zealand in the 1970s Jim Allen conjoined performance and the camera in live actions and, this year at Te Papa, Shigeyuki Kihara exhibited herself as a live museum exhibit. With these histories in mind, on day two of the symposium AUT's performance space and motion capture facilities will become sites for experimenting with how so-called moments of live creation become entangled with emergent media technologies.

Convened by Greg Bennett, Chris Braddock and Janine Randerson in conjunction with the Art & Performance Research Group and in association with the Masters of Performance and Media Arts Degree, School of Art & Design at AUT.

Paper length: 20 minutes; suggested performance length: 20-40 minutes

Free Registration

Please submit a 150 word abstract using the form overleaf to Robyn Ramage by March 31st 2014 email robyn.ramage@aut.ac.nz<mailto:robyn.ramage@aut.ac.nz>, Postgraduate Coordinator, School of Art + Design, Faculty of Design & Creative Technologies, AUT University.

Re: [Ada_list] The problematics of practice currently

Thanks John,

That has pretty much laid out the landscape of current practice, in terms of the necessary negotiations around funding. I'm thinking most practitioners can find themselves somewhere in what you have written. And it is very good to have that Kickstarter experience as part of the mix, congrats on that it was quite an effort, yes?

It's quite true that there has been for some time now, a reliance on text and words for audiences in visual and fine arts. One aspect that marks the electronic arts sector, is the use of Open Call, and online forms to register submissions. These are used a little in visual arts (Puke Ariki's Taranaki "Home Work" show for which applications just closed, is an example) but online submission is endemic it seems to me, to electronic arts.

Obviously I'm not wanting to argue this is an exclusive property, but I think it does point to something that is part of the culture of electronic arts practice. There is a kind of openness to events and practice. There are some relatively open and wide shows in the visual arts, such as the upcoming "Tools of the Trade" in Gisborne http://tinyurl.com/mchas3w, but much happens curatorially behind the scenes in the visual arts. Whereas most events in electronic arts are open call plus invite to submit.

There was an attempt made by Edward Shanken at Art Basel 2011 to bring the discourses of relational aesthetics and electronic arts together - a panel with Peter Weibel and Nicola Bourriard http://medianewmediapostmedia.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/edward-shanken/

On the face of it this seemed like the most likely area of interconnection between the two. However bringing these discourses together didn't work, in part because there was a clash of cultures and frameworks for understanding projects and this gulf appeared too far to bridge. In particular there was no agreement on the foundation principles/assumptions that might facilitate a discussion.

Currently around ISEA's advisory committee and board there is much discussion about the values and culture of the ISEA audience, as various strategies for ongoing funding are evaluated. One potential for example is to make online access to papers subscriber based, but this is unlikely to occur (though may, who knows) because many people within ISEA's network do all that extra work in terms of projects and papers as a way of giving to the community. So giving to the community is a primary motivation, rather than career or financial advantage.

So what does the use of Open Call point to? What are the values of the culture of the electronic arts sector here?

It would be interesting to receive some input on this topic.

Best

Ian

Hei Ian!

Hasn't it always been about PR, promotion, and one's abilities with
self-re-presentation, especially text-spinning. And this quite independent from
the actual work being done. At least that's what I've observed with practices
across Europe, the US, and the antipodes. Of course, who you know remains a
factor as well.

If you can write convincingly, seductively, provocatively about what you do, or
can spin what you do as being something that ticks off a box in the
cultural-industry manager's funding application ('creative industries' pops into
mind as being just one of those mind-numbingly stupid spin phrases) -- you are
set at least from the fiscal pov!

One alternative is to happen on, find, pay, or just plain be lucky to stumble on
someone else who will write about you and what you do.

A social system is structured to reward participants that augment the
survivability of the wider system, not the individual. This makes it necessarily
conservative, resistant to change, and risk averse. Somehow in all this, a text
is reassuring to the arbiters of culture: Reading the label next to the abstract
painting makes everything safe; being able to select which kind of artist you
actually are from a state-sanctioned list (What? You aren't a painter, an actor,
a sculptress, a musician, a dancer? What's a network media artist working on
sustainability and community gardening?)

There seldom seems to be much correlation between the intensity/quality of work
and the social rewards conferred to those who are spending the
life-time/life-energy necessary to bring work into being. A far more direct
correlation is between the socially relevant *representation* of work and funding.

And, okay, concerning a media-arts practice, this already assumes wide-scaled
acquiescence to an array of dominant techno-social protocols that deeply affect
the autonomy of your work in general ... First we had to learn ftp way back in
the late 80s, then html, then a variety of image, audio, and video codecs, then
php, and now the rigid white cubes of social media. That and trying to raise
funds to stay somewhere on the curve of technological innovation (or at least
slightly ahead of technical obsolescence)...

Having said all this, speaking as someone who has a tremendous documentary
archive of my own praxis, along with audio-video-text-images of many other
folk's projects, collaborative events, objects (off- and) on-line for the last

As a non-citizen resident in Europe and the Antipodes over the years, I've not
had much access to public funding directly, though I've benefitted from said
funding on numerous occasions.

And recently, I ran a very successful Kickstarter (practically the only way of
raising cultural funding in the backwaters of the US West!). Representation
there is crucial, obviously. Although the majority of my funders were people who
knew my work over many years, many campaigns raise phenomenal chunks of funding
with populist representations. (Of course, not to mention the questionable
cultural value of many crowd-funded projects...). I know I could have probably
increased my take if I had the skills to be populist in my representations. It's
a bit like populism in politics -- that there is a seductive power in being the
object of wide social adulation and reward. In my mind, representing one's self
with this goal in mind (to be accepted as being a valuable contributor to a
pre-determined cultural trajectory decided by those arbiters), is ultimately
self-defeating.

And in the end, it's a game, a distraction, a time-drain on the creative praxis,
this process of representation. The process of (self-)documentation steals one
away from the immediacy of lived-life, the recording device changes that which
is documented (the observer changes that which is observed). And yet many of us
persist in this strange activity...

enough for tonight...

Hasn't it always been about PR, promotion, and one's abilities with
self-re-presentation, especially text-spinning. And this quite independent from
the actual work being done. At least that's what I've observed with practices
across Europe, the US, and the antipodes. Of course, who you know remains a
factor as well.

If you can write convincingly, seductively, provocatively about what you do, or
can spin what you do as being something that ticks off a box in the
cultural-industry manager's funding application ('creative industries' pops into
mind as being just one of those mind-numbingly stupid spin phrases) -- you are
set at least from the fiscal pov!

One alternative is to happen on, find, pay, or just plain be lucky to stumble on
someone else who will write about you and what you do.

A social system is structured to reward participants that augment the
survivability of the wider system, not the individual. This makes it necessarily
conservative, resistant to change, and risk averse. Somehow in all this, a text
is reassuring to the arbiters of culture: Reading the label next to the abstract
painting makes everything safe; being able to select which kind of artist you
actually are from a state-sanctioned list (What? You aren't a painter, an actor,
a sculptress, a musician, a dancer? What's a network media artist working on
sustainability and community gardening?)

There seldom seems to be much correlation between the intensity/quality of work
and the social rewards conferred to those who are spending the
life-time/life-energy necessary to bring work into being. A far more direct
correlation is between the socially relevant *representation* of work and funding.

And, okay, concerning a media-arts practice, this already assumes wide-scaled
acquiescence to an array of dominant techno-social protocols that deeply affect
the autonomy of your work in general ... First we had to learn ftp way back in
the late 80s, then html, then a variety of image, audio, and video codecs, then
php, and now the rigid white cubes of social media. That and trying to raise
funds to stay somewhere on the curve of technological innovation (or at least
slightly ahead of technical obsolescence)...

Having said all this, speaking as someone who has a tremendous documentary
archive of my own praxis, along with audio-video-text-images of many other

[Ada_list] 2014 ADA Artists Tour - Sound Sky workshops as part of the Audacious Festival - Christchurch March 1&2

*2014 Artist tour - {Sound Sky} Trudy Lane and Halsey Burgund*

http://www.ada.net.nz/projects/meshcities-artists-tour-2014/

The ADA Mesh Cities Artist Tour 2014 is being facilitated by the creative
team Trudy Lane and Halsey Burgund.

Trudy and Halsey have been working on the contributory artwork Sound
Sky, ADA are supporting their workshops and they're in Christchurch as part
of the Audacious festival March 1-2 - this weekend

*Sound Sky*

Their project *Sound Sky* (http://soundsky.org/) is a new geo-located audio
work envisioned for Christchurch, which emerged out of discussions of
memory, place and the CEISMIC archive at the first ADA Mesh Cities
gathering<http://www.ada.net.nz/meshcities/roundtablelaunch-event-physics-room-30313/>
.

Partnerships have since formed with the
organisationsCEISMIC,<http://www.ceismic.org.nz/>
Gap Filler <http://www.gapfiller.org.nz/>, and the Cantabrian Society for
Sonic Artists <http://cssa.org.nz/> (CSSA), allowing the project to take a
long-term, localised and collaborative approach. Contributed voices of the
public of Christchurch-- recalling histories, reflecting on today and
planting hopes and dreams for the future -- are the raw materials of the
work, which is to be combined with a musical score. It is a large-scale
project, which will benefit from widespread participation and community
adoption.


Artists Trudy Lane (Aotearoa/NZ, http://www.thehouseofwonder.org/) and
Halsey Burgund (USA, http://halseyburgund.com) will be presenting the
workshop series. The workshops will see participants take part in various
stages of the development of the site-specific installation audio-scape *Sound
Sky* and also introduce creative practitioners to the open source platform
Roundware (http://www.roundware.org/) being used to make the work.

Workshop 1

*Christchurch, March 1 and 2, 10.00am--12.00pm.*
Held in association with the Audacious Festival of March 1-2. (
http://audacious.org.nz/). This workshop will be combined with a project
soft launch with local promotion (flyers, stencils, events), inviting the
download and use of the first version of the mobile app, workshops with
Audacious audience,and general networking with local Christchurch audiences.
*Venue: *Pallet Pavilion, 70 Kilmore Street, Christchurch
*Register:* Workshop 1 registration (Saturday)
<http://www.ada.net.nz/events/sound-sky-workshop-1-saturday/>*Register:*
Workshop
1 Registration (Sunday)

Re: [Ada_list] The problematics of practice currently

Thanks Luke and Damian for your input in regard to the problematics of
practice and highlighting this aspect of the documentation condition of
projects.

I suppose I had been viewing this from a more experiential perspective.
Keith Armstrong (http://embodiedmedia.com/) who has done some amazing
work, truly, and did rise quickly in the scheme of things. He was also
an early adopter of video as a documentation tool for projects and I
always saw his rise and the use of video as related. Keiths origin was
not in the visual or media arts initially, but outside which is an
interesting side note to this.

All of us regularly apply for exhibitions, awards and projects using
documentation. Consequently although it seems a bit weird to write it
now, creative practice in electronic media appears bookended by
documentation. Use documentation to apply, if accepted document the
project and add it to your archive or site. Perhaps this goes some way
to explaining how documentation got into the position that Damian and
Luke are talking about?

In terms of education context as a result of these considerations, in my
New Media class the final project is the work and the video
documentation of the work.

But as I say, up till now I saw this mostly from the basis of personal
experience (Keith and I shared a room at Solar Circuit Tasmania in 2002
and have kept in touch since) and the pragmatics of applying. But
perhaps it is much more of a broad feature of practice today.

So is there further comment on this, or other issues of practice that
are worthwhile taking into account?

Best

Ian

Subject: Re: [Ada_list] The problematics of practice currently

I'm going to take documentation to mean work documented in media form
and residing online. Damian's point is well observed, although it's
not just a media art issue and stems from the shift in art consumption
from on site to online. One curator I recently spoke to said the ratio
is about 90/10: visitors to the exhibition website versus physical
gallery visitors.

There's a great essay on this shift from the gallery to the phone in
Artforum, and some of the particular qualities that experience
foregrounds. It notes, for example, that the grey, monochromatic
paintings of Fredrik Vaerslev tend to break the 'pattern matching'
visual behaviour which we engage in when consuming art in this
infinite scrolling mode (tumblr especially but also facebook, g
images, et al). Here's a copy from Tanya Leighton because the Artforum
version is now behind a paywall
(http://www.tanyaleighton.com/p/p000420/Artforum_summer_2013.pdf).

Actually media arts has an advantage here, in that in many cases the
work was conceived and produced specifically to be presented /
experienced / executed online. Particularly in terms of software or
code-based art, the 'primary work' enjoys all the advantages of the
network in terms of accessibility and distribution, making any
documentation (stills, screencaps, etc) rather moot. Artists like
Rafael Rozendaal or Jonas Lund, making work specifically for the
browser, or the Speed Show format which rents net cafes and presents
one work on each machine, are great examples of leveraging the medium.

I know Damian and others make more installation-based or physical
media work, and as mentioned it's a harder task to shoot, edit and
communicate this back to an online audience. I blame Kickstarter in
setting up an expectation where everyone needs a professionally
produced video under 3 minutes to convey any idea. ;-)

Interestingly though over the last couple years I've noted several
artists, media especially, who have opted to keep these spaces
somewhat separate. That is, letting events and performances IRL occur
while their web presence (site, fb, twitter) is left 'incomplete' or
tangential. Incomplete in that works are just listed in plain text or
referenced, or tangential in that their own work is hardly referred
to, other/wider topics frequently tweeted about, social connections
become more important, etc. Jesse Darling and Ryan Trecartin exemplify
this latter approach, while Brad Troemel (he of thejogging fame) has a
great essay on some of these strategies in "artists looking for an
audience"
(http://main.bradtroemel.com/Writing/The%20Accidental%20Audience.pdf).
