POOL focuses on the intense interplay between dance and the techniques of film, exploring the possibilites and boundaries of the genre. In addition, POOL encourages exchange with other creative areas such as fashion, advertising and music.

This text finds the intimate affinity between dance and philosophy in the concept of problem and invites the reader to perceive dance and philosophy as a form of ballistics: the art of throwing. On one hand, this text is an invitation to look at dance not necessarily as an artistic practice but rather as an affirmative force that manifests itself as an expression of the power to turn any domain into a dance floor. On the other hand, this text also understands philosophy as an invitation to dance a problem, or, in other words, philosophy is a practice of choreographing the trajectories of problems.
Soon approaching, over the weekend Fri 11 – Sun 13 September, is our first Digital Lab at The Place as part of the Choreodrome artist development programme.
Choreographers will be 3D scanned and printed, hear talks from BBC Sherlock Network app writer David Varelawho is now travelling back by boat from Montevideo to Buenas Aires, then a plane to São Paulo where he has been part of a traveling transmedia conference: Mediamorfosis.
Ju Row Farr from interactive performance company, Blast Theory will talk about engaging audiences with their interactive cinema piece My One Demand at Toronto film Festival, and the BIMA nominated digital life coach app Karen.
Friday and Saturday will feature a hands on experience of making motion controlled audio circuits alongsideDirty Electronics’ John Richards who has been busy this season performing at the Supersonic Festival, Sonar Festival, Barcelona, Incubate, Netherlands and is lead speaker at the forthcoming, Ableton Loop conference in Berlin.
Newly announced Wired/The Space Creative Fellow, Annette Mees of Coney leads our Sunday daytime session on multiplatform audience engagement.
With digital technology now integrated into our everyday lives, this weekend aims to present exciting new ideas on how we can experience and understand technology with a group of performance artists who are exploring the new creative landscape.
LIVE-I WORKSHOP
Reed College, Portland, Oregon 2015
Monday June 29 – Friday July 3, 2015 – 10AM – 4PM
(Studio Time Available After 4PM Each Day)
Fee: $675
Housing in Portland – HERE
DESCRIPTION
The XBox Kinect has become an essential tool for artists who want the movement of the human body to influence digital media in real time. During this year’s Live-I Workshop, Troika Ranch Co-Directors Mark Coniglio and Dawn Stoppiello will focus on using the Kinect as a tool to create interactive performances that are both compelling and dramaturgically sound.
During the first two days of the workshop, participants will learn how to use open source tools to gather movement data from the Kinect, and how to use that information to impose real-time control over video, sound and light via the software Isadora. The remainder of the workshop will be spent working individually and as a group to create scenarios where that information can be used artistically. As a group, we want to consider three key questions: what am I tracking, why am I tracking, and why is it important dramaturgically. The last word of that sentence is key. In the end, any technology one uses in a performance must be there to support the piece, and the ideas behind it. This workshop will ask those questions in relation to motion tracking and the the capabilities offered by the XBox Kinect.
Troika Ranch will have ten Kinects on hand. So you needn’t purchase one to take this workshop. In addition, students will receive a six-month license for Isadora, the user-friendly, real-time media manipulation tool created by Mark Coniglio. So, aside from your laptop computer, we will provide everything you need to get started.
APPLICATION PROCESS
Include one paragraph explaining why you are interested in attending the workshop and one paragraph describing the kind of work that you make. Briefly tell us about your level of expertise with computers. Please include your name, address, telephone number and email address. Applicants must have a basic understanding of using a computer, i.e., opening and saving files, copying and pasting information, basic navigational skills, etc. Applicants must also have gone through the Isadora tutorials 1-6 before the workshop begins. Send applications to info [at] troikaranch [dot] org
A note about the selection process: please know that, beyond your application information, an important factor in choosing the participants is how the group fits together as a whole. When the skills of those participating vary too widely, it means that someone participants will be overwhelmed while others will be waiting for the others to catch up. So please understand that if you are not chosen it is not a reflection on your abilities or your skills as an artist.
The workshop fee is due no later than the first day of the workshop. Payment can be made by check, bank transfer or PayPal.

For the 7th time, JOINT ADVENTURES is inviting choreographers, dancers, film and (multi-)media artists to develop new aesthetic approaches and visual languages for choreography and film in a 60-second ad format. We are searching for works that operate choreographically with the film medium and initiate unusual aesthetic dialogues. Cineastic media confrontations with choreographic approaches can result from a new combination of film, art, video and choreography; the goal is to sensitize the audience’s view of film and choreography as art forms and open its eyes for a choreography of images.
There are prizes in two categories. Monetary prizes will be awarded for the artistic quality of the films in the amount of up to 2.000,- EUR. In addition, prizes will also be awarded in the “cinema” category that includes the presentation of the winning films throughout Germany and Switzerland, as well as the screening at different European festivals. Within the framework of a cooperation with Das Tanzfest.ch, the winning films will also be included in the programs of the cities participating in Das Tanzfest.ch between 12th and 15th of May, 2016. The films submitted to the competition will be judged and the winners selected by an external and independent jury of experts; the jurors are active in the international film and dance worlds.
The award ceremony and the presentation of the winning films will take place in November 2015 in Switzerland.
The goal of the short-film project CHOREOGRAPHIC CAPTURES initiated by JOINT ADVENTURES is to anchor the various forms of representation and realization of choreography and film in the audience’s consciousness. It is meant to give this art form space for artistic input, exchange, networking and presentation in order to advance the interaction between choreography and media art.
All information required for participating in the competition is available at > www.choreooo.org.
I am very happy to announce that since February 1st 2017, dance-tech.net and other related dance-tech projects have initiated process of developing a collaborative ownership model involving several important organizations in the field.
These organizations represent diverse approaches and perspectives on the transmission of dance knowledge, facilitating an exciting and strong synergy that may manifest in new developments and collaborations to support this community.
It is a moment of reconnection and reinvention.
Motion Bank from Frankfurt (Germany) have decided to step in to support directly the transition, joining efforts with Bates College with direct financial support covering the costs of server and hosting of dance-tech.net and dance-tech.tv.
Here are the words of Florian Jenett from Motion Bank:
"Motion Bank has explored intersections of dance and technology since 2010 building on projects that reach back to as early as 1994. Technology for us is an enabler, an invitation to see more and take new perspectives on an art form that is inherently hard to translate into other domains outside the body. We know Marlon for a long time and have been following his relentless efforts in shaping dance-tech.net for this community and hence are happy to now be able to support it."
Dance-tech Core Node:
I am honored that the following people and organizations have expressed interest in participating in this process as the Dance-tech Core Node:
Scott deLahunta and Florian Jenett from Motion Bank (Germany)Kerstin Kussmaul from IDocde/REFLEX Europe (Austria)Nayse Lopez from festival Panorama (Brazil)Rachel Boggia from bates College (USA)Johannes Birringer from Brunel University (UK)Matt Lewis from ACCAD/OSU (USA)Marcela Giesche from Lake Studios Berlin (Germany)Mark Coniglio from Troikatronix/Isadora (Germany)Susan Kozel from Medea Malmo University (Sweden)Norah Zuniga-Shaw from Department of Dance of The Ohio State UniversityDirector of Dance and TechnologyJaki Levi from ArrowRoot MediaJeannette Ginslov Independent artists and researcher (UK)PhD Candidate London South Bank UniversityLisa Nelson from Contact Collaborations, codirector CQ Contact Quarterly Magazine and director of Videoda
These are the agreements and basic guidelines for the transition from February 1st 2017:
1.-Participants of this process must have an active account on dance-tech.net and join a group that will be specially created for this process on the same network (dance-tech core node)
2.-The ownership of the dance-tech.net and dance-tech.tv will be transferred to a group of collaborators of stakeholders.
3.-Motion Bank, in agreement with Marlon Barrios Solano, is the main/first enabler of this transmission of ownership and commits to continue paying the hosting fees and maintenance of all the dance-tech platforms: dance-tech.net, dance-tech.tv and dance-tech.tv@ Vimeo starting February 1st 2017
4.-All collaborators commit to keep the content available and free of cost. A donation system is embedded in the dance-tech.net platforms and it is linked to Motion Bank
5.-Marlon Barrios Solano will keep his account in dance-tech,net as Marlon Barrios Solano (network creator); and will share the moderation/administration privileges until is necessary.
6.-It should be very clearly and visibly stated in the main page sidebar that dance-tech projects are supported by this new collaborative model. All supporters may use of the side bar to show a linkable logo to their websites or dance-tech accounts.
7.-Marlon Barrios Solano will maintain the ownership of projects such as dance-tech interviews and views, meta-academy, meta-medialab, meta-creationlab and will keep using his dance-tech.net account for their publishing. It is also offered in this new phase, the possibility that all organizations can use the names and concepts the dance-tech projects.
An excellent start of this new phase!
Please leave questions, ideas in the comment section of this post!
Onwards,
Marlon

Staying (A)live... through words,here it is: The Venice Biennale Angolan Pavilion catalogue, includes a text by Vania Gala
Matthew Fuller will host Nicolas Salazar Sutil, as part of the UK launch of the book Motion and Representation: the Language of Human Movement at Deptford Town Hall.
Their conversation will revolve around the book's main themes, i.e. the challenging relationship between movement performance and systems of formal representation (mathematical, computational, movement notational), as well as the emerging technologies and industries these systems afford. They will debate critical issues provoked by contemporary forms of motion representation, and the kind of creative interventions that help us to better understand how human movement has been both rationalised and complexified through digital languages, and how we may begin to re-think our culture of technologized movement.
The discussion will be followed by Q&A, and complementary drinks.
Nicolas Salazar Sutil is Academic Fellow in Digital Performance at the School of Performance and Cultural Industries, University of Leeds. He is the co-editor, with Sita Popat, of the book Digital Movement: Essays in Motion Technology and Performance (Palgrave), and artistic director of C8 Project (www.salazarsutil.net).
Matthew Fuller is Professor of Cultural Studies at the Digital Culture Unit, Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London. He is the author of Media Ecologies: Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture (MIT Press), Software Studies (MIT Press), and, with Andrew Goffey, of Evil Media (MIT Press) as well as Behind the Blip: Essays on the Culture of Software and other books.
This event is organised by Digital Culture Unit, Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths College
