In this five-hour Master class and guided group critique, Golan Levin will

approximately ten minutes. Levin will then provide feedback, brainstorming,
and guided discussion for each project. Projects may be in any discipline

it, so be prepared to share your work, enthusiasm, and curiosity!

*Registration:*
Please email Harry Silver: harry.silver@aut.ac.nz


*Golan Levin:*

Golan Levin is concerned with reclaiming computation as a medium of
personal inquiry and cultural innovation. He teaches "studio art courses in
computer science," on themes like interactive art, generative form, digital
fabrication, information visualization, gestural robotics, and audiovisual
performance. Levin has particular expertise in the application of computer
vision, signal processing, and statistical data mining techniques to
problems in interaction design, visualization and user experience.

Levin is Associate Professor of Computation Arts at Carnegie Mellon
University, where he also holds courtesy appointments in the School of
Computer Science and the School of Design. Levin is also Director of CMU's
Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, a laboratory for atypical and
anti-disciplinary research across the arts, science, technology and
culture. A two-time TED speaker and recipient of undergraduate and graduate
degrees from the MIT Media Laboratory, Levin was named one of "50 Designers
Shaping the Future" by Fast Company magazine in October 2012. Golan has
spent half his life as an artist embedded within technological research
environments, in places like the MIT Media Laboratory, the Ars Electronica
Futurelab, and the former Interval Research Corporation in Palo Alto.

*Expressions of interest: March 16, 2014*

Digital Art Live <http://colab.aut.ac.nz/dal> in association with Aotearoa
Digital Arts network (ADA) <http://www.ada.net.nz/>and
AUTv<http://www.autv.aut.ac.nz/> are
calling for applications from creative practitioners interested in
presenting digital interactive works during the Auckland ADA symposium in
September 2014.

We are interested in proposals *questioning the role that digital networks
are playing in our ability to reveal and understand the layers of a city* and
how this affects contemporary practices in art, architecture, urban
planning and related fields. We invite responses that might engage
physically, psychologically, spiritually and/or playfully with the visible
and hidden structures and systems of Auckland / Tamaki Makaurau.

*Budget:*
NZ$1,200 for artistic fee and possibility to support production costs.

Please contact Nolwenn Hugain-Lacire - NolwennH@the-edge.co.nz to discuss

hi everyone,
this week two performances are happening in UpStage, with screenings at
the University of Creative Arts in Farnham, UK.

The programme starts at *6pm UK time on Thursday 13 March* (that will be
early morning on Friday 14th for some of you). Find your local time
here: http://tinyurl.com/nzy9k7u. A short introductory talk will be
streamed in UpStage.

The first performance, beginning at about 6.15pm on the same stage as
the introduction will be streamed, is */The Ultimate Flood Survival
Guide/*. This show has had input from around 50 students at two of the
university's campuses (Farnham and Rochester), and is presented by staff
and students who have participated in UpStage workshops during Helen's
residency at UCA.

The second performance is /*Balloon*/, by Petyr Veenstra, Floris Sirag
and Gabriella Sacco. A mesmerising poetic and visual journey, /Balloon/
was first presented at the 10th Birthday celebrations in January. It
will begin at 6pm UK time - find your local time here:
