TRACING MOBILITY SYMPOSIUM
Symposium #1 of 3
15 May
10am - 6pm
Nottingham Contemporary, Weekday Cross, Nottingham, NG1 2GB
Joining forces with Nottingham Contemporary as part of their forthcoming Uneven Geographies exhibition, Tracing Mobility, the first of Radiator’s three international symposia, examines the emergence of a new space, a space born out of the technology used to control and divide society.
Participants include; Frank Abbott (UK); Active Ingredient [Rachel Jacobs] (UK); Robin Bhattacharya (UK/CH); Heath Bunting (UK); Simon Faithfull (UK/DE); James Kennard (UK); Plan b [Sophia New & Daniel Belasco Rogers] (UK/DE); Katarzyna Krakowiak (PL); Krzysztof Nawratek (PL/UK); Kate Rich (UK); Michelle Teran (CA/DE); Open_Sailing [Ollie Palmer] (UK); Gordan Savicic (AT/NL); Trebor Scholz (US); Basak Senova (TR); Société Réaliste (HU/FR); Joanna Warsza (PL); Mushon Zer-Aviv (IL/US)
Presentations by artists and speakers from such diverse fields as geography, urban theory and computer science will explore what constitutes being nomadic these days and how developments in networked and open source infrastructure are transforming our expectations of 'Place'.
These events are free but booking is essential.
To reserve a place, please telephone Nottingham Contemporary on 0115 9242421 or visit

We are exploring the design process of textile sensors on the body and have been working with cellist Peter Gergson and sound engineer Yann Seznec, showing at the MIT Media Lab, InSpace (Edinburgh) and the House of Lords (London) - yes, we were surprised too...
The next stage of the project is to introduce movement and we invite you to come and respond to Peter's music while wearing the woven, embroidered and knitted garments which house stretch sensors - we will use your feedback to inform what the garments eventually do, and to assess placement of the textile sensors.
There is a confirmed exhibition for the video documentation of this in June in Dundee, Scotland, with all participants credited fully, and we will cover your expenses.
Please email Sarah at sarah.kettley@ntu.ac.uk.

The Mapping Festival is dedicated to VJing and to the task of combining moving images with contemporary cultures. Thus multiplying the events which animate the town and bestowing itself to the Genevans and international visitors.
Formed in 2005 by Modul8 conceptors and Zoo/Usine, The Mapping is in search of all passionate of real time image use, amateurs of electronic cultures, conviviality and discovery.
The festival is a true laboratory for the VJing discipline, offering both novices and professionals the possibility to experiment and encounter. This unique aspect gives the festival a world-wide reputation in the VJ-community as a meeting point you just have to visit.
What is VJing ?
The definition of VJing is performance which consists in creating moving visual art (often video) on large displays or screens, often at events such as concerts, nightclubs and music festivals, and usually in conjunction with other performance art. This results in a live, multimedia performance that can include music, actors or dancers as well as live and prerecorded video. Also sometimes called «Realtime» or «Realtime Video».
Jessica Meuninck-Ganger and Nathaniel Stern approach both old and new media as form. In their Distill Life works, the artists permanently mount translucent prints and drawings directly on top of video screens, creating moving images on paper. They incorporate technologies and aesthetics from traditional printmaking - including woodblock, silk screen, etching, lithography, photogravure etc with the technologies and aesthetics of contemporary digital, video and networked art, to explore images as multidimensional.
Meuninck-Ganger and Stern hack and tweak, shoot and print, appropriate and remix, edit and draw. Their juxtaposition of anachronistic and disparate methods, materials and content - print and video, paper and electronics, real and virtual - enables novel approaches to understanding each. The artists engage with subject matter ranging from historical portraiture to current events, from hyperreal landscapes to socially awkward moments. The works are surprising, wistful, enchanting, and seriously playful.
Episode #103: Beryl Korot describes the impetus behind the innovative 1970s publication "Radical Software," elucidating the history of video in art and the impact of mass media on society. Emerging from an independent video community that included media visionaries such as Marshall McLuhan and groups such as Televisionaries, Videofreex, People's Video Theater, and Global Village, the first issue of "Radical Software" debuted in Spring of 1970 as a publication by the Raindance Corporation. Beryl Korot and Phyllis Segura (Gershuny) acted as Editors, while Michael Shamburg served as Publisher with Ira Schneider as co-Originator. Early contributors included Nam June Paik, Buckminster Fuller, Ant Farm, Frank Gillette, and Paul Ryan, among others. After eleven issues, "Radical Software" ceased publication in the Spring of 1974 and is now an invaluable time capsule of an era.
An early video-art pioneer and an internationally exhibited artist, Beryl Korots multiple-channel (and multiple-monitor) video installation works explored the relationship between programming tools as diverse as the technology of the loom and multiple-channel video. For most of the 1980s, Korot concentrated on a series of paintings that were based on a language she created that was an analogue to the Latin alphabet. Drawing on her earlier interest in weaving and video as related technologies, she made most of these paintings on hand-woven and traditional linen canvas. More recently, she has collaborated with her husband, the composer Steve Reich, on "Three Tales," a documentary digital video opera in three acts that explores the way technology creates and frames our experience.

Nits Salvatges (Wild Nights) proposes a frame to experiment with what is uncertain and circumstantial in theideas, regardless its evolution, materialization or development.
An event that brings together eight new and specific actions by artistsfrom different areas, territories and generations.
A two-daysproject, curated by La Porta, that invites us to sharethe ephemeral reality, the luxurious act, unpredictable stimuli betweenthe body and the word, between the anecdote and the reflection, betweenthe essay and the romantic illusion.
You can follow both sessions here on STREAMING with the collaboration of minipimer.tv.

Using the most advanced social software platforms and rich multimedia
internet applications, dance-tech.net provides movement and new media
artists, theorist, thinkers and technologists an on-line space for
accessing and sharing ideas, work, research and collaborative projects.
Barrios Solano introduces dance-tech.net and dance-techTV as a
sustainable model of production and exchange of knowledge within a
community of movement and mew media artits, theorists, technologists and
organizations. The new internet or Web 2.0 architectures helps us to
see Networks as the materialization of social dynamics, as sites of
action, translocal presence and social innovation and sampling. They
have become the most important emergent repositories of social and
cognitive capital of a given community. dance-tech.net registers
conversations, dialogues, performances, ideas and lives using the WWW as
a site for a relational intervention on the boundaries of bodies,
countries, disciplines and organizations.
