Hello everyone!

I'm making a piece and installation and need to solve this problem:

I need to control five cameras from one computer. When I say control I mean send messages of record, stop, rewind and play. I know there is a MAX SP object called jit.avc that sends transport information to a camera. And I know there are fireware hubs so I can plug five cameras to my lap top through fireware. But will I be able to control all five cameras with one computer? Can any good heart help me?

Thank you!

From 3rd July to 11th December, 2010
Titanik Gallery & Kutomo
Turku, Finland


Together with Titanik Gallery Ehkä-production initiates a new concept for experimental performances and works in progress in Turku. BETA is a mobile platform for artists from different fields to show their work while being in the process of making. Fundamental part of the whole idea is to encourage the art community into more open conversation upon performances. By inviting the participating artists and the audience to join an informal discussion after the performances (with a cup of coffee!) BETA gives to these not polished pieces a chance to get feedback and to grow.

Starting the 3rd of July 2010 BETA takes place in the street in front of Titanik Gallery, Itäinen Rantakatu 8 Turku, four Saturdays on a row. In August the lo-fi platform moves inside to the Kutomo space and changes its nature into an evening event.

Depending on the duration of the performances there will be 1-4 pieces in each BETA. If you´re interested in joining in as a maker please mail to info(at)ehka.net or info(at)titanik.fi.

Free entrance for public -WELCOME!

Este máster plantea un enfoque práctico investigador en el que se garantiza una estrecha colaboración entre teoría y praxis en el ámbito de las artes escénicas y las visuales. Por medio de la participación en formatos muy variados como laboratorios, talleres y seminarios, se trata de integrar la praxis creadora del estudiante con discursos teóricos relevantes, de manera que se alcance una cooperación productiva entre metodologías conceptuales, instrumentos críticos y prácticas investigadoras creadoras. Con ese fin dentro del máster asume un peso fundamental el trabajo autónomo del estudiante, el cual se desarrolla a lo largo de un continuo diálogo con supervisores, equipo docente, profesores asociados, artistas invitados y compañeros estudiantes; se trata de una inmersión en un proceso de diálogo interdisciplinar en el que el estudiante tiene la oportunidad de reflexionar en colaboración sobre su propio trabajo y sobre formas y metodologías de investigación.

En este máster las artes escénicas se complementan y enriquecen con un conjunto de prácticas artísticas plásticas y visuales. Para permitir la emergencia de esta interdisciplinariedad, la estructuración del programa de creación escénica en torno a dos líneas de trabajo en este máster es fundamental: medios audiovisuales y prácticas de relación. La formación se desarrolla de modo transversal, permitiendo un tratamiento interdisciplinar de las artes escénicas que permite al estudiante articular una visión integral y completa de su ámbito de investigación.

Por último, la invitación de gran cantidad de profesionales de distintas áreas dentro de las artes escénicas tales como creación, programación, crítica, investigación y academia le ofrece al estudiante un acceso a la realidad de las tendencias y desarrollos contemporáneos, así como al mundo profesional una vez acabados los estudios.

La propuesta de este máster se basa en la exitosa experiencia de su oferta como título propio por parte de la Universidad de Alcalá en colaboración con el Museo Reina Sofía. Se recibieron más de cien solicitudes de información y, a pesar del elevado coste de la matrícula y la brevedad de los plazos de información e inscripción, se cubrió el cupo establecido de matrícula: 20 alumnos procedentes de cinco países ( Austria, Chile, España, Italia y Portugal) y siete comunidades autónomas (Castilla-La Mancha, Cataluña, Extremadura, Galicia, Madrid, Murcia y Pais Vasco).

Compartimos la experiencia de la Universidad de Alcalá en la enseñanza no reglada de artes escénicas a través de sus Aulas de Teatro, Danza y Música y la apuesta del Museo Reina Sofía por la formación, la investigación y el debate en un espacio público de alta visibilidad nacional e internacional.

El máster se oferta en un momento en que las Escuelas de Arte Dramático y los Conservatorios Superiores de Danza han visto homologados sus títulos a los grados universitarios y se encuentran en condiciones de abordar enseñazas de postgrado y también optar a la investigación. En la génesis de este máster se ha tenido en cuenta la experiencia, las necesidades y las propuestas de diversos centros de enseñanza artística no universitaria, con el ánimo de generar un espacio común de formación-investigación. De hecho, este máster constituye la primera iniciativa de un futuro Instituto de las Artes, con sede en el nuevo campus de la UAH en Guadalajara, con apoyo de la Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha.

La propuesta de un máster basado en la práctica es pionera en el Estado Español y coherente con la homologación de los títulos en artes escénicas y música como grados y postgrados universitarios. Pero no es nueva en el ámbito internacional, ya que existen numerosos modelos en diferentes países. Por encargo del Institut del Teatre y la UAH, el grupo de investigación ARTEA realizó un Informe sobre programas de postgrado basados en la práctica, que incluye el análisis de estructuras y metodologías utilizadas en veinte universidades de Alemania, Bélgica, Holanda, Francia, Portugal, Reino Unido, Polonia, Canadá, Estados Unidos y Colombia. El informe incluye también documentación sobre centros de investigación no universitarios, una selección de textos teóricos y de análisis de procesos de investigación artísticos. Este documento constituye una de las bases que nos han servido para diseñar este curso, así como para el establecimiento futuro de acuerdos internacionales.

Otra base importante la constituye la experiencia investigadora del grupo ARTEA, con sede en la UCLM, pero con investigadores activos en diferentes universidades europeas (UCLM, EHU, IT, EUV) y americanas (U Buenos Aires, Católica de Sao Paolo, Federal de Bahia, Federal de Pará, Nacional de Colombia, Veracruzana, Autónoma Metropolitana de México, Católica de Lima). El grupo ARTEA ha realizado diversos proyectos de investigación con ayudas regionales, nacionales (MICINN, AECID y MCU) y europeas en el ámbito de las artes escénicas. Su principal aportación es visible en el Archivo Virtual de Artes Escénicas (www.artescenicas.org) y en numerosas publicaciones en libros y revistas especializadas. El grupo ARTEA participa actualmente en un proyecto europeo con otras veinte Universidades para la generación de una Biblioteca Virtual de Artes Escénicas (CIP-ICT-PSP-2009-3). El proyecto “Autonomía y Complejidad” (HAR2008-06014-C02-01/ARTE) plantea como objetivo principal el diálogo entre la investigación teórica y práctica en el ámbito de las artes escénicas: “Metodológicamente, este proyecto responde a la necesidad de llenar el espacio entre el ámbito teórico de la investigación y el campo de la práctica escénica. Con esto se responde a una demanda cada vez mayor de ambos lados para establecer un diálogo más estrecho entre creación e investigación, en un ámbito teórico y artístico caracterizados en los dos últimos decenios por su extrema movilidad entre disciplinas y géneros distintos.” Éste es uno de los principios sobre los que se construye el programa del máster, por lo que el trabajo de investigación del grupo y el trabajo de formación se complementarán y retroalimentarán.

Experiencia previa

Durante el curso 2009-10 se está ofertando un programa de postgrado, título propio, con la misma denominación que el actual. Ver Máster vigente 2009-2010

La experiencia de los tres meses de funcionamiento del máster ha sido enormemente positiva. Por una parte hemos comprobado el interés y la entrega de los estudiantes, que en su mayoría responden al perfil previsto en el proyecto: jóvenes artistas con una breve trayectoria profesional o profesionales con mayor trayectoria pero con necesidad de revisar críticamente su trabajo y diseñar nuevas metodologías y conceptos en el ámbito de la creación o la gestión.

La colaboración con el Museo Reina Sofía, La Casa Encendida, Medialab y Matadero está garantizando una rápida confrontación de los estudiantes con entornos profesionales de máxima visibilidad y también de máxima exigencia a nivel profesional. Pero para las instituciones también resulta de enorme interés contar con un espacio de investigación y reflexión como el que ofrece el máster, así como con la posibilidad de abrir espacios públicos en forma de ciclos de conferencias y laboratorios compartidos con artistas o profesionales externos.

El programa combina la aportación de profesores universitarios doctores, con amplia experiencia en investigación tanto en el ámbito de la teoría como de la práctica, y la de artistas y profesionales activos en España y en otros países. La singularidad y excelencia de las trayectorias académicas y artísticas de los profesores invitados ha constituido el principal atractivo de este título, pero también ha asegurado el éxito en el desarrollo de los cursos y de los contenidos.

El máster se ha concebido desde el inicio como un espacio abierto a la investigación artística y a la colaboración con otras instituciones, por lo que a las cooperaciones previstas inicialmente se han ido añadiendo nuevas propuestas de colaboración con el foro de Performance de ARCO, el festival Escena Contemporánea de la Comunidad de Madrid, el encuentro MOVS organizado por el Mercat de les Flors de Barcelona y el MNRS o el festival SISMO de Matadero.

Explicación del programa

El programa comenzará con un Seminario de Investigación que permitirá la autoevaluación de los participantes, la presentación de experiencias previas, así como la articulación de proyectos de formación y la formulación de ideas de trabajo. En él estarán presentes los coordinadores de los módulos y los artistas responsables de los laboratorios.

El programa se articula en tres módulos:

1. Metodologías de investigación-creación

2. Herramientas para la investigación-creación

3. Proyectos de creación

Los tres módulos se desarrollan en paralelo, teniendo el segundo una mayor carga en el primer semestre y los otros dos una carga distribuida entre el primer y el segundo semestre.

La optatividad en el interior de cada módulo permitirá el desarrollo de dos itinerarios :

A. Creación escénica y medios audiovisuales

B. Creación escénica y prácticas de relación.

En todos los cursos se priorizará una metodología de participación.

Esta metodología será fundamental en el desarrollo del primer modulo, donde los estudiantes realizarán un proceso constante de autoevaluación y se confrontarán a diversas propuestas metodológicas planteadas por académicos y artistas. A partir de las ideas y de los problemas localizados durante el primer seminario y las primeras sesiones de los respectivos laboratorios, los contenidos de las sucesivas sesiones y del segundo seminario se irán conformando en diálogo con los intereses y los problemas planteados y los surgidos de los proyectos individuales de creación.

En el segundo módulo se inscriben dos tipos de materias: teórico-históricas y prácticas. En las primeras se tenderá también a una metodología de participación y resolución de problemas, mediante seminarios, sesiones de visionado, análisis de material audiovisual y textos, debates, etc. Se tratará de ofrecer una visión extensa de la teoría y la historiografía de las artes escénicas, así como una introducción a los planteamientos actuales de la pedagogía, las artes para la comunidad, los estudios culturales, los estudios de cultura visual.

En las materias prácticas, se tratará de asegurar una base común para el desarrollo de proyectos de investigación creación con una doble fase: el trabajo escénico-corporal, y el trabajo audiovisual y en red. A estas materias específicas, se suman otras relacionadas con ámbitos de posible especialización.

El módulo 3 está concebido como espacio para el desarrollo de proyectos individuales o colectivos de creación – investigación.

Los participantes que deseen desarrollar procesos de creación podrán adscribirse a uno de los laboratorios ofertados. Estos laboratorios, coordinados por un artista (Juan Domínguez y Óskar Gómez Mata) se desarrollarán a lo largo de todo el curso, con tres momentos de actividad intensiva en cada trimestre. Ofrecerán un marco para el desarrollo de proyectos personales o para la articulación de trabajos en colaboración, que tendrán continuidad en la realización del proyecto final de máster. Los responsables de los laboratorios podrán invitar a otros artistas o especialistas en función de los proyectos diseñados por los participantes.

Colaboraciones e intercambios

Existen ya acuerdos de colaboración permanente con las siguientes instituciones:

1. Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid

2. Casa Encendida, Madrid

3. Matadero, Madrid

4. Circo Price, Madrid

Existen acuerdos de colaboración puntual con:

1. Medialab Prado (Madrid)

2. Festival Escena Contemporánea (Madrid)

3. British Council

4. Galería Off Limits (Madrid)

Sobre la base del Informe sobre Investigación y Postgrados en Artes Escénicas se está trabajando en la conformación de una red internacional.

Cover of Rethinking Curating: Art after New Media

Humorous and surprising, smart and provocative, Rethinking Curating: Art after New Media (MIT Press, 2010) jumps from opposing viewpoints to opposing personalities, from one arts trajectory to another. The entire book is a dialectic exercise: none of its problems or theories are solved or concluded, but are rather complicated through revelations around their origins, arguments and appropriations. Overall, the book adopts the collaborative style and hyperlinked approach of the media and practice it purports to rethink. In other words, it is not just the content of the book that asks us to rethink curating, but the reading itself; by the end, we are forced to digest and internalize the consistently problematized behaviors of the “media formerly known as new.”

Sarah Cook and Beryl Graham, co-editors of the CRUMB site and list (the Curatorial Resource for Upstart Media Bliss), have co-authored the book via email and on a Wiki, and assert outright that it is not a “theory book”; its structure instead “reflects the CRUMB approach to research, which discusses and analyzes the process of how things are done” (12). The sheer number of examples, citations, and first-person accounts in this nearly 350-page volume make it so that every time the trajectory coheres into a singular point or argument, it is then broken up again, into a constellation of ideas that make us rethink, again. We are issued challenge after challenge to our assumptions about media, our understandings of curatorial practice, and our opinions about the spaces in which we exhibit art. It is only after an exhaustive study of seemingly irreconcilable philosophies, practices and venues, the book implicitly argues, that we can begin to engage with what needs to be rethought, and how to do so.

Rethinking Curating makes three basic arguments. First, that one must approach a broad set of histories in trying to understand any given artwork, and “for new media art this set includes technological histories, which are essentially interdisciplinary and patchily documented” (283). Second, that such broad histories have led to the unique development of “critical vocabularies for the fluid and overlapping characteristics of new media art” (283). Cook and Graham reason that new media are best understood not as materials but as “behaviors” – participatory, performative or generative, for example. And third, that these behaviors demand a rethinking of curating, new modes of “looking at the production, exhibition, interpretation, and wider dissemination (including collection and conservation) of new media art” (1).

Hello! There is still time to register for my somatic movement workshop and performance/magic overnight event at Earthdance July 12 -17th. It is part of a wonderful festival SEEDS.

"The theme of this year’s 10-day long SEEDS festival is NOURISHMENT: A crop’s environment—including soil, topography, and climate—imparts a characteristic taste and flavor and must be taken into consideration in cultivation. With care, through interaction we hope to create an ultra-lush, enriching, and regenerative culture in which to grow our art."

You can find all the information below. Hope to see you there! K.J.

FEATURING: Weathering (a workshop) & PineCones (an overnight event) with K.J. Holmes
at EARTHDANCE, Plainfield MA.

July 12th (Monday) to July 15th (Thursday) Mornings 10 am to 1 pm

The body is the soil of our thoughts and imaginations. This workshop will devise the use of somatic explorations through the lens of Body-Mind Centering ® and improvisational dance tunings to discover, enrich, and explore how we are landscapes for our ideas. The workshop will be supportive and challenging—to embody our experiential knowledge with the uncertainty of what has yet to appear, manifesting trust in the unknown. We will spend time inside and outside.

July 16th (Friday evening) to July 17th (Saturday morning)

All creations pass through a time of being in the dark. It is the time of dreams, illusions, and magic. This evening into the morning event will be a guided physical meditation into the chimerical nature of dance. We will end the day and begin a new one together as we shift our relationship to time and composing space, creating and entering a theater of our own design.


K.J. Holmes is an independent dance artist, singer, and actor exploring improvisation as process and performance since 1981. Her influences include Contact Improvisation, BMC®, Yoga, Authentic Movement, Release techniques, Martial Dance, world vocal studies, and contemporary dance and theater. She teaches and performs throughout the world and has collaborated with Simone Forti, Image Lab, and Steve Paxton, among many others. K.J. is a 1999 graduate of the School for Body-Mind Centering® and has a private practice in Dynamic Alignment and Re-integration in Brooklyn, NY, where she lives. She is adjunct faculty at NYU/Experimental Theater Wing, and continues to teach through Movement Research. She finished a two-year acting training in the Sanford Meisner technique at the William Esper Studio in NYC in 2009, and is currently developing an evening length piece This is where we are (or take arms against a sea of troubles) , which looks at where linguistics and the body meet.

Plus performances, an ECO jam, disucssions, films, artists-in-residence, green m-Art, and more.

The theme of this year’s 10-day long SEEDS festival is NOURISHMENT: A crop’s environment—including soil, topography, and climate—imparts a characteristic taste and flavor and must be taken into consideration in cultivation. With care, through interaction we hope to create an ultra-lush, enriching, and regenerative culture in which to grow our art.

Come for a performance or a film, a workshop, a jam, or the whole festival!

Massachusetts Dance Festival’s first annual statewide events, sponsored by the UMass Amherst Department of Musicand Dance, will be held August 21st and 22nd at Boston Ballet, 19 Clarendon Street,Boston, and August 28th and 29th, at UMass Amherst (Totman Building) and The Fine Arts Center, Amherst. 2010 events at both sites includeSaturday evening performances by eleven professional dance companies, andSunday late afternoon performances by eleven emerging dance companies,representing genres of ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, multimedia, EastIndian, and hip hop/jazz. Each presentation reveals the sheer creative power ofdance – the breadth of training and talent across the Commonwealth – ofphysicality, technical excellence, emotional exuberance, and compellingartistry, that is certain to attract and engage audiences of all ages andbackgrounds.

Innovative choreographies of two weekends include: 1) “Marionette,” which questions the notion of “success,” reflectingthe “struggle to get ahead in business, financial, and personal lives…driven byrelentless social images,” choreographedby Katherine Hooper of BoSoma DanceCompany, where athleticism and the “constant energy of phrasing” propelsdancers ahead three steps, and back only two; 2) A dramatic selection by Contrapose Dance entitled “Sanitas,” which approaches society’s “recent obsession withcleanliness and staying free of sickness,” plummeting deeply into the humanpsyche … gripping audiences while challenging dancers through feats of athleticand artistic elocution; 3) Monkeyhousedancers’ newest creation, “"Times New Roman Italic""">Against the Odds11.0pt"">,” which “explores themes of endangerment and stagnancy,” and theenormous effort required to get “unstuck,” using a series of ‘found sound’recordings of rain and train station buskers; 4) A multi-media celebration ofthe Connecticut River by Sorvino DanceProject called “Downstream,” where fluid movements are adapted to the power,stillness, and interruptions of the river, against a backdrop of SamPettengill’s visual artwork, and a magnetic improvisational and polyrhythmicmusical landscape; 5) An energetic and uplifting piece, Mariah Steele’sSimon &Garfunkel Suite,” which portrays a“desire to celebrate life and the human experience in all its grit and humor,dust and glory… a love of community, awe of our bodies’ vast capabilities … anda deep faith in humanity.”

Additional to dance performances are a total of 48 dance classes for adults and childrenin Boston, August 21st and 22nd, and in Amherst, August28th and 29th, between the hours of 11:00 am and 5:00 pmon Saturdays, and between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm on Sundays. Massachusettsmaster dancers, college and K-12 educators, and industry specialists covergenres of ballet, jazz, tap, modern, African, Cuban Salsa, hip hop, “inclusivedance for physically disabled dancers,” and a diverse range of innovativechildren’s dance classes. Specialty workshops on “dance photography,” “managing a successfulcultural business,” and “healthy dancers” will also run adjacent to movementclasses, offering a full spectrum of activities for all ages and levels ofaudience participants.

MDF’s Emcee for both Saturday nights is Massachusetts native and national jazz icon, RebeccaParris, who will open both performances and sing two of her favorite,popular jazz standards. She is an ardent supporter of music and danceperformance and education in Massachusetts, and a tireless promoter of theMassachusetts Dance Festival’s mission:

…to revitalize dance and arts-related professions by developing partnerships withbusinesses, corporations, institutions and communities. MassachusettsDance Festival believes that dance, as a major component of arts and culture,is essential to meaningful lives and healthy communities.

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.

PRESS RELEASE

The International Journal of Screendance launches at the American
Dance Festival, Durham, North Carolina (USA) June 25th, 2010

The International Journal of Screendance published by Parallel
Press/University of Wisconsin-Madison USA, in collaboration with
University of Brighton UK, was launched at a reception hosted by the
American Dance Festival on June 25th. The launch coincided with ADF’s
Dancing for the Camera: Festival of Dance on Film and Video and a
meeting of the Screendance Network.

The International Journal of Screendance is a new peer-reviewed
publication, the first-ever scholarly journal dedicated to the growing
area of the inter-disciplinary practice of screendance. It is an
initiative undertaken by an international group of practitioners,
researchers, curators and activists engaged with screendance who wish
to establish a forum for debate for all those interested in the
intersection of dance and the moving image.

The International Journal of Screendance is hosted by the University
of Wisconsin-Madison and published under the Parallel Press imprint.
Print and digital (online) versions of the first issue are now
available. The editorial board is constituted from members of the
International Screendance Network, based at the University of Brighton
and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK), as well
as scholars and artists from related fields of inquiry.

The International Journal of Screendance engages in rigorous critique
grounded in both pre-existing and yet-to-be articulated methodologies
from the fields of dance, performance, visual art, cinema and media
arts, drawing on their practices, technologies, theories and
philosophies. As an international platform for screendance
scholarship, the journal seeks to foster not only a multi-cultural but
also a multilingual discourse.

This Journal is essential reading for all those interested in the
intersection of dance and the moving image including film and
video-makers, dance artists, producers, composers as well as the wider
interested public. Its goal is to become an invaluable resource for
researchers and professionals in the field. The Journal includes
original scholarship and historically pertinent yet hard-to-find
writings, as well as specially commissioned articles. Each issue will
be edited around a particular theme and a set of questions that frame
current discussions in the global field of screendance as a means of
promoting and enriching dialogue within the wider community of dance
and the moving image.

If you would like information on submitting to the Journal, please
visit http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/screendance for updates and calls for
papers. For ordering issues of the journal go to
http://parallelpress.library.wisc.edu/ordering.shtml.

Models of mind/body/life/environment


"Is there love in the Telematic Embrace"

Roy Ascott


"Telematic culture means, in short, that we do not think, see, or feel in isolation. Creativity is shared, authorship is distributed,
but not in a way that denies the individual her
authenticity or
power of self creation, as rather crude models of
collectivity might
have done in the past. On the contrary, telematic culture
amplifies
the individual’s capacity for creative thought and action,

for more vivid and intense experience, for more informed
perception,
by enabling her to participate in the production of global
vision
through networked interaction with other minds, other
sensibilities,
other sensing and thinking systems across the
planet—thought
circulating in the medium of data through a multiplicity
of different
cultural, geographical, social, and personal layers.
Networking
supports endless redescription and recontextualization
such that
no language or visual code is final and no reality is
ultimate.
In the telematic culture, pluralism and relativism shape
the configurations
of ideas —of image, music, and text—that circulate in
the system."

EMBODIED COGNITION


Philosophers, cognitive scientists and artificial intelligence researchers who study embodied cognitionembodied mind believe
that the nature of the human mind is largely determined by the form of the human body. They argue that all aspects of cognition, such as ideas, thoughts, concepts and categories are shaped by aspects of the body.
These aspects include the perceptual system, the intuitions that
underlie the ability to move, activities and interactions with our
environment and the naive understanding of the world that is built into
the body and the brain. and the



Lucy Suchmam: SITUATED ACTIONS:


She challenged common assumptions behind the design of interactive systems with a cogent anthropological argument that human action is constantly constructed and reconstructed from dynamic interactions with
the material and social worlds. The theory of cognition"">situated cognition emphasizes the importance of the
environment as an integral part of the process" class="mw-redirect"">cognitive process. She has made
fundamental contributions to ethnographic analysis, conversational
analysis and Participatory Design techniques for the development of
interactive computer systems.

2 Cognition is time-pressured.

3 We off-load cognitive work onto the environment.

4 The environment is part of the cognitive system.
