Panorama Aumentado |Augmented Panorama is a dance-tech.tv Augmented Reality Experience Lab @ Festival Panorama 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

http://panoramafestival.com/2012/panorama-aumentado-2_en/

Panorama Aumentado creates a hidden media landscape that grows as the festival happens.

Use your smart phones to discover geolocated videos of performances and interviews with the dancetrchtvARapp on festival program, banners, posters, logos the facades of the theaters.

The lab explores the intersection of online video journalism and Augmented Reality technology, creating a mobile media experience during the festival. The lab works a hub to share with the community new ways of media production, distributions and interfacing. It explores potential of mobile augmented reality  technology to intervene and augment the festival  with digital content.

The audience uses smart phones or tablets to scan programs and posters of the festival  and theater facades to discover video layers with performance excepts, artists interviews and other contents created by a team of volunteers from the local community.

 

 

 

How does Panorama Aumentado work?

It uses a free Augmented Reality app of dance-tech.tv and it allows the user to discover video layers on printed material and building facades. It also allows the user to create their own AR geolocated content.

12249543880?profile=originalUse dancetechtvARapp available for FREE for apple and android devices.
Download for IOS devices: iPhone, IPad, Ipod
Download for Android devices

It combines an image recognition engine and geolocation.

The dance-tech.tv AR app is designed to be used mostly in the contexts of arts festivals and older events to augment printed programs and posters with video layers of the artists involved in the festivals and with video content created in the festivals by the dance-tech.tv team. It may also be used for some urban games and performances with the geolocation feature.

The dance-tech.tv AR app makes image and location a site for multimedia performance experimentation.

Técnica de contact como herramienta de improvisación. 
de 09.30 a 12.00

No tener miedo a probar, a usar esos otros cuerpos porque sabemos que van a estar ahí bailando, comunicándose, hablando el mismo lenguaje, encontrando patrones que reconocemos y que los podemos usar...
Primero prepararemos al cuerpo físicamente para bailar. Luego, le haremos pensar. Haremos todo un recorrido por la parte más técnica del contact y, así, sentar las bases comunes de la comunicación. Para, al final, desarrollar improvisaciones con unos temas físicos sobre los que bailar.

En 1992 empieza a estudiar improvisación y contact-improvisación, se traslada a Barcelona y trabaja con diferentes compañías com Mudances, Mal Pelo y Malqueridas, entre otras.

From Peking to Queens to Manipur

12249540465?profile=originalIf a slim, handsome man or woman waits on you in a Manhattan restaurant, you just assume they are performers. But do you do the same in Chinatown and Flushing? Perhaps you should.  Since 1988, Qi Shu Fang, master of Chinese Opera, has been developing her own Peking Opera Company with her husband Ding Mei-kui in Queens. The professional lives of their company resemble those of American performing artists of all genres who juggle rehearsals, performances, lecture-demonstrations, tours, and outside jobs.   Now in their late sixties, Master Qi and Ding who trained since childhood in China, found the void of knowledge about the Peking Opera in the US was their opportunity. Though their lifestyles are modest, their art is magical.

 

This documentary directed by Alan Govenar gives us an insight as to how the Cultural Revolution affected their art and its masters, the reasons behind the elaborate costumes and makeup, a glimpse of the training.  Designed to lure you into their world, MASTER QI AND THE MONKEY KING makes you yearn to see their Peking Opera,  to study this 200 year old art combining dance, mime, singing, acrobatics, and stories, to understand its aesthetics, both visual and oral. It provokes so many basic questions about its style. Is the dancer/martial artist trained to emulate a sword? Their precise, direct swoops come to an abrupt halt, punctuated by the percussionists. Does the percussionist determine the ending or is he following the dancers?

 

12249541455?profile=originalMaster Qi shares at her small kitchen table a joke about how three cultures handle a fan. The American wears the fan out, beating the fan in t

he heat until the paper is shredded. The Englishman sways the fan very slowly as only a true gentleman should. But the Chinaman opens the fan very deliberately and then madly wiggles his face before it…because, of course, he must preserve the fan!

I will be bringing this charming documentary to Manipur, India for Re:Play 2013!

After nearly a year of preparatory work, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of one of our most ambitious initiatives ever: Creative Time Reports, a multimedia website dedicated to artists’ analysis of contemporary social issues and news from around the world. Founded on the belief that artists’ voices are critical elements of public discourse, Creative Time Reports enables artists to disseminate original reporting and analysis in a variety of formats. The site also encourages public feedback and fosters ongoing dialogue across a variety of social-media platforms.

Creative Time Reports welcomes artist contributors from all disciplines, including both the visual and performing arts. Find current contributions from the likes of British multimedia artist Liam Gillick, writing on global finance from the Basque Country; artist Pedro Reyes, reporting on elections in Mexico; Haitian writer Jean-Euphèle Milcé in Port-au-Prince, documenting the political, material, and emotional aftermath of the catastrophic earthquake of 2010; Iranian-American comedian, actress, writer, and filmmaker Negin Farsad, who has produced a video comprising interviews outside the United Nations, during the General Assembly; and many others.

Today, the Internet is our global town square. As such, Creative Time Reports can provide an international platform for artists’ ideas about the issues that matter to them, and initiate broad-based dialogue. In addition to hosting original reports and timely updates about a wide range of issues, the site will encourage your feedback and foster ongoing dialogue, and will incorporate live feeds from Twitter (@artistsreport) and Facebook. Creative Time Reports will best succeed with your smart, thought-provoking responses, whether written in the comments section on the website itself, or posted on other social-media platforms.

Creative Time is grateful to the Rockefeller Foundation's New York City Cultural Innovation Fund for its support of Creative Time Reports.

This afternoon at 2PM EST, we’ll be co-hosting a live panel with Artlog related to the launch of Creative Time Reports. You don’t have to be on Twitter to watch the live conversation, which will include panelists from SFMOMA, Art21, and the Whitney Museum, as well as artist Hank Willis Thomas and the creators of Creative Time Reports. Just click this link at 2PM, or if you are on Twitter, join in using the hashtag #CTRL.

Be sure to check creativetimereports.org regularly for stories, interviews, narrative articles, podcasts, video, photo essays and more from artists and cultural producers from around the world, and join the conversation today!

Sticking to the essentials: Peter Kubelka

12249534863?profile=originalI just spent 4 rewarding hours in the company of Peter Kubelka, courtesy of the filmmaker Martina Kudlacek. He is a Viennese man absolutely sold on his own ideas, so eager to share them, and so charmed by their endless possibilities, that we must dispend any skepticism. Martina Kudlacek, who made the 2002 documentary IN THE MIRROR OF MAYA DEREN, begins her film with Kubelka with a nervous hand. The camera movement simultaneously makes us feel the vulnerable presence of the listener and illustrates Kubelka’s comment about our restless eyes. After that wary start, we settle in for an extended visit with Kudelka, a "metric artist," musician, gourmand, collector of objects, a visual artist with the spirit of an adventurous scientist.

 

Born in 1934 in Vienna, Kubelka did not see any movies, except propaganda films, until his late teens. He discovered the cinema essentials - silence/sound, black/white - as a child when he caught a promotion film about a new pudding. He had followed a herd of women into a dark hushed room with all eyes focused on an enormous white screen. It was an ecstatic experience for him that seemed to shape his life.  Cooking loomed large in his family. The process of choosing, cutting, stirring the elements, and staying alert to minute changes is akin to filmmaking. As a young filmmaker who came to NYC to join Jonas Mekas and other experimental filmmakers in the opening of Anthology Film Archives, he convinced Channel 13 to give him a cooking show in 1970,  an ingenious platform for a downtown artist. “When the butter starts to hiss, it’s protesting,” he reveals when we see him cooking and then eating his breaded veal at the end of Kudlacek's documentary.

 

“Everything is a dance, everything dances,” says this legend among the Avant Gardists. But, he adds, film does not move. Our mind sees the motion between 2 static images. He points out the importance of recognizing repetition and metaphor. “Metaphor is so important in all the arts.”

 

12249535055?profile=originalHe won’t have his films shown in a digital form. Too much is lost. For his first commission for a restaurant in Vienna, he scandolously shot only 2 minutes of film – all he could afford. With 2 dancers, and only 2 lightbulbs, he created their silhouette in black and white,  added some red for accent, the beer logo. A style was born.

He demonstrates how his arm is the length of 24 frames, 1 second of film, an easy way to measure/cut his films which must always look well nailed as a unit on the wall.

Dee Reynolds and Matthew Reason , Kinesthetic Empathy in Creative and Cultural Contexts (Intellect, 2012)

12249536652?profile=original

A key interdisciplinary concept in our understanding of social interaction across creative and cultural practices, kinesthetic empathy describes the ability to experience empathy merely by observing the movements of another human being. Encouraging readers to sidestep the methodological and disciplinary boundaries associated with the arts and sciences, Kinesthetic Empathy in Creative and Cultural Practices offers innovative and critical perspectives on topics ranging from art to sport, film to physical therapy.

After doing theater as an artistwin for 11 years, it's time to answer the question what do we do when we do it. First is to mention, that theater is never done by artists only. It is rather a multilayered process with many involved. Artistic production, artistic process and the logistics involved account for each other. No project is like another as it happens at another time and in other conditions. However we don't follow any determinist theater model, and we also don't see ourselves as victims of times when it is becoming ever more difficult to acquire means for artistic work. The only thing that counts for us is to continue as the only failure in art is giving up.


For a few years now, we're less and less interested in creating and watching choreographies that are executed frontally on a stage, with a clear separation of auditorium and podium. We're rather fascinated to move through environments where the relation of anybody in the space is dynamically negotiated. Environments that facilitate, produce and demand a dense complexity of inter- and cross-connectivity, of processes and partaking. In other words, we're interested in theater as an activity where anybody can become a producer of theater.

 

What matters (...) is the exemplary character of production, which is able, first, to induce other producers to produce, and, second, to put an improved apparatus at their disposal. And this apparatus is better, the more consumers it is able to turn into producers - that is, readers or spectators into collaborators. (Walter Benjamin: The Author as Producer, 1934)

 

Even if we're at times spectators in our own work, there is no passivity in our processes. What we seek the most is proximity to an audience, a mutual acknowledgement of each other's presence; to transgress a taboo at work: an erotic decomposition of the imaginary border between actor and public, process and reception. Erotic, because one is allowed to come closer.


We always conceptualize and prepare environments together with others, but what will happen in them, how artistic activity emerges, is not planned or fixed beforehand. It happens in the opening towards an outside, a collective unveiling of a specific truth of work: isn't is only when we walk or drive on a street that we experience and recognize it as such? There has to be an opening up of possibilities in advance of experience in order for experience to take place. This concept of Martin Heidegger can guide us to leave the theater of the connoisseur, the passive witness that claims the authority of relevant knowledge, and invites us into a theater as a space to spend time in and to be able to make our own experiences: how to knit your own private political body!


Theater as environmentalism characterizes that is has to assert autonomy, that it maintains a resistance, thus claims presence in order to enable a living experience. The environment is the artistic fundament, on which activities proliferate and expand. Proximity can only emerge if there is a distance that is transgressed; distance, once powerful in the regime of the light and sound metaphysics of an impressive theater apparatus, becomes more and more obsolete. Not that the theater has to become and affirm itself as a place for the everyday experience! There is enough space for magic. Only the central control of the course of actions could make place to a manifold of sources of light, sound, imagination. That is when the theater can be re-functionalized by the activities that happen in it. That is when theater can be defined from an actual interest in theater.


Our last works, the Emergence Room and the Entropic Institute, have shown us that there is a public that no longer wants to be passive, no longer seated in-front of something just to witness it. A public that understands that the passive witnessing of any high-intensity execution of controlled out-of-control control obsessions as it is common in theater and choreography today is worn out, as it re-affirms the thrills of a gentrified leisure-time society rather than lending any critical perspective or distance to it. The same is true for the theatrical takeover of anti-globalist activism. Theater as environmentalism is active theater, not theatrical activism!


It is self-evident that nobody is forced into activity. The simple proposal that one can touch things, move in the space, leave notes, document what is there is enough; otherwise parttaking collapses and becomes forced participation where the unprepared participants are always shown-off, made ridiculous or exposed.


For us it is important to address people that decided to share the same environment with us as persons that can all contribute to the artwork. In other words: without you our theater doesn't happen at all. We construct relations, but when they are not made they remain singular and empty in the space.


This is why our theater is a durch-ein-ander (literal translation: through-one-another; the correct translation is mess). Nothing is detached in the space, everything mutually involves everything else, much like in a complex Mobile, where the movement of one element causes all others to move also.


We don't possess our work, we spend it, and we invite others to come and have a walk with it. So be invited in our next environments in Stuttgart, Brussels, Amsterdam, Hamburg and Gent.
