This panel discussion examines the use of appropriation in contemporary art, considering the various approaches to appropriation adopted by three different generations of artists spanning the 1970s to today. The panel will be moderated by art historian and writer Michael Newman, the author of Richard Prince: Untitled (couple) recently published by Afterall Books, and he will be accompanied by artists Judith Barry, Sarah Charlesworth, and others.
Afterall is a non-profit research and publishing organization, supported by Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London and California Institute of the Arts, Los Angeles, that publishes a contemporary art journal and a series of books. For more information, please visit www.afterall.org

Major new residency and performance/installation series
In January 2008, LEMUR will inaugurate "ReSiDeNt," a unique new creator-in-residence program, hosted at LEMUR's Brooklyn space in Park Slope. Each month, we will award three artists a month-long residency at LEMUR, enabling them to create a work utilizing LEMUR's resources, including robotic musical instruments, MIDI audio/video controllers, video projection and tracking system and more. Each group of residencies will culminate in a public show at LEMUR at the end of the month.
Artists from all performing and installation disciplines are encouraged to apply, including musicians, composers, dancers, choreographers, video artists, interactive installation artists, performance artists, multimedia artists and others.
LEMUR's staff will provide technical support to residents for learning and utilizing our resources. For early residencies, we will give preference to artists with a reasonable degree of technical skill with computer art. As the year progresses, we will be able to give a higher level of technical support, possibly including programming, electronic design and more.
The deadline to apply for January's residencies is Monday, December 17th. Announcement of January's residency awards will be announced the following week.
Subsequent deadlines will be rolling, allowing artists to submit applications to be considered for future residencies throughout the year. The application process is outlined below and will also be posted to LEMUR's web site shortly.
Applying to ReSiDeNt
The application process is designed to be easy. Mainly, we want to see your qualifications and past work and get a sense of the type of work you would do at a LEMUR residency.
All applications are accepted via email to resident@lemurbots.org. Please include the following information in your email.
Part 1: Contact Information

We prefer to receive all work samples online. You may also attach files up to 1 MB total. If you need to email larger files which you can not put online, please contact us in advance for ftp information. If you must mail hard copy of work, you can send it to LEMUR, 461 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 11215, attn: ReSiDeNt.
Part 3: Artist Resume/CV

FAQ
---
What instruments, systems and other resources will be available to me?
GuitarBot, XyloBot, ModBots (percussion bots), HydroBots (water-based bots), Slime-o-trons (slime controllers), Chime-o-tron (MIDI wind chimes), Slink-o-trons (slinky controllers), Sonic Banana (bend controller), Ascension Flock of Birds 6-DOF tracking system with 3 trackers, sensors, MidiTron and MidiTron Wireless sensor interfaces, floor-projected video with video tracking overlay, wall-projected video, PA, PTZ camera, broadband internet, Mac and PC computers, MIDI keyboard, software (Max/MSP/Jitter, Isadora, Digital Performer, etc.). In addition, LEMUR is constantly working on new instruments, which will be made available as they are created.
How much time will I be able to spend at LEMUR working on my project?
You can spend as much time as you want, subject to scheduling with LEMUR staff. Generally, someone is there Monday through Friday from 10 am until 8 pm, and weekend times can be arranged as necessary.
Does my work have to utilize LEMUR's instruments and equipment?
Yes. A major goal of this residency program is to partner with a variety of artists to create new work for LEMUR instruments.
What length is my work expected to be?
For performances, we would like a minimum of 20 minutes of work. For music, a 40-45 minute set would be highly desirable. Installations would normally be ongoing, though we would hope that any one user would be engaged for 5 minutes or more.
Is there any stipend or other support money?
This is an unfunded residency program, so there is no stipend or support money. The support we provide is in the form of in-kind donations of our time, space and resources.
Do I have to do a performance, or is an installation ok?
Installations are fine and encouraged. Preference will be given to interactive installations over non-interactive ones.
To realize my work, I want to create new software/Max patches/electronics but I don't know how. Can someone at LEMUR help me?
Not at this time. We don't have the resources to develop custom technology outside the scope of our own work. However, if you have a technologist that will commit to partnering with you, you are welcome to propose this.
I have a great idea but I've never done computer art before? Should I apply?
At the early stages of this program, we will probably not be able to support artists who do not have reasonable skills in implementing their work.
I live outside of New York City. Can you provide room and board?
We can't, but you probably already have a friend with a sofa in New York City :-)
Will there be future opportunities to show the work I create after the end-of-month show?
The best work to come out of ReSiDeNt will likely have future opportunities to be shown. LEMUR stages performances and installations around the world, and we are always looking to incorporate new work.
What are some examples of projects you will consider?
Compositions for the robots
Interactive performances with the robots and/or controllers
Interactive installations with the robots and/org controllers
Interactive dance with the robots
Theater pieces or performance art with the robots
Interactive video installations incorporating the robots
My discipline doesn't fall into your listed categories. Can I still apply?
Definitely. These are simply examples, and we will consider work from any discipline if we feel it is possible to realize at our space.
Do I have to come in with a project idea from the beginning?
You do not have to come in with a fully formed project, but you should have an idea of what you want to do and should outline this in your application. You can develop the specifics of your project within the time frame of the residency. Also, feel free to bounce ideas off us before applying.
What if my work will take longer than a month to complete?
We can only devote one month of work time to each artist. If you need more time but can do your preliminary work off-site prior to the residency month, we will consider this.
Please feel free to contact us with any other questions you may have.

In the FORUM discussion on dance & technology and control I mentioned that i would like to re-visit a dance work i saw last week. in the blog ar large, cited here, the specific report is written on November 21: M o v e m e n t A.
"Movement A" = premiere of ‘dance in audio-visual environment’ by Ulf Langheinrich, with Toshiko Oiwa (dance), Dirk Langheinrich (software), Mayu SaSajima (costume). Festpielhaus Hellerau/Dresden, November 2007.Attributed to Netochka Nezvanova"Technical skills are less important than creative thinking," lectures Netochka in an e-mail. "The epoch of the generalist has arrived -- again. Any fool can program and most do. Software engineers are emotionally inept. In today's unstable + dynamic environment they do not stand a chance."
29th November 2007
Belfast (Sonic Arts Research Centre): 8PM UK TIME
Hamburg (Hochschule f=FCr Musik und Theatre): 9PM CET
Graz (Insitut f=FCr Elektronische Musik and Akustik): 9PM CET
[Admission Free]
Within the context of EU Culture 2007 project COMEDIA, the Sonic Arts
Research Centre, the Hochschule f=FCr Musik und Theatre Hamburg and the
Insitut f=FCr Elektronische Musik and Akustik (KUG Graz) present a
concert which showcases four unique strategies for music performance
over networks. This event presents instrumental, audio-visual and
laptop work and features music by John Cage, a network piece by Pedro
Rebelo and structured improvisations with a distributed piano trio
and a laptop trio. The concert will also take place in SecondLife
(www.secondlife.com)
Programme
Five (John Cage)
Cage's work is performed with a distributed quintet, making use of
Georg Hajdu's Quintet.net software for network performance.
Piano Trio
A pianist in each site forms a distributed trio performing a free
improvisation work. The performance utilises remote avatars developed
at SARC which abstract and display gestures from remote performers.
Frequencyliator Laptop Trio
Developed at SARC by Alain Renaud, the Frequencyliator acts as a hub
for laptop improvisation providing cues, distributing bandwidth and
facilitating negotiation between performers through a voting system.
Disparate Bodies 2.0 (Pedro Rebelo)
First performed as version 1.0 in Belfast, NY and Stanford as part of
NIME 2007, this work relies on the development of performative and
improvisational strategies which take advantage of network
performance scenarios through graphic notation and temporal
structuring. The work itself is a clash of disparate approaches which
form the basis of an investigation into relationships with musical
potential (between performers, performers and audiences, composition
and improvisation etc...). Help shape the performance by distributing
scores over space and time using the online db_editor.
The db_editor invites to public to shape the performance of Disparate
Bodies by manipulating various graphic score sources. The changing
position of each symbol is reflected in the order and duration of
each score element during the performance. By dragging the symbols
over the map you are editing two aspects of how the final performance
score will be put together and displayed to audiences and performers
on the three sites. The time of edit (shown on the right column)
determines the relative duration and order (most recent first) of
score elements.
The position relates to how prominent score element for each site
(e.g. a score element positioned over Belfast suggests that only
performers in Belfast will play that element). This editor will be
open till the 28th November 12:00 CET, when the final score sequence
will be assembled.

Hello all! Hi kelly.
It was great to see the network growing in real time.
I am in Bostom performing, as a video designer for the actress/Pamela Sneed. I writing this using the wirelss connection in the Bus terminal...taking the Chinatown bus!!
Performance went well. It is an interesting experience ro design video for theater...it is different that doing it for dance. This particularly because It is a very direct augmentation of her presence and give it containment (frame).
See documentation from show last December:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIzqeXp21Ek
I have not writetn in my own blog for a while. Busy...
I have been involved in VJ-U and a weekly netcast about visual performance. Got to go now!
