More .info about Expressive Media Express (sorry for repetition)::

Expressive Media Express is a weekend long interactive slate of programs designed to encourage creative use of digital tools and simultaneously showcase Chicago's energetic New Media community. It will include two workshops, two screenings, and an ongoing media installation online and at DIY cinema, The Nightingale, curated by Jon Cates (School of the Art Institute of Chicago), Christy LeMaster (The Nightingale), and Nicholas O'Brien (Interactive Art and Media, Columbia College).

The installation is an interactive technology time line aimed at youth combined with a historical continuum of digital media (computers, video games, New Media Art) on display for hands-on interaction.

The opening night of the program will include a screening of Chicago New Media works as part of the Screen Grab series developed by Cates and O'Brien (screengrab.tumblr.com). This series aims to connect the experimental cinema and New Media communities in Chicago by showcasing online work in a traditional cinema venue.

In the first workshop, entitled BentBox, has children circuit bend toys to change the sounds they make, learning to reshape electronics. At the next day's workshop, Stepmania School, digital music composition and game programming will be taught in the context of making your own DIY (Do It Yourself) games and electronic music.

These software and hardware skills put the basic tools of digital media in the hands of kids at an early stage.

Expressive Media Express is part of Chicago Artists Month 2009, the fourteenth annual celebration of Chicago’s vibrant visual art community. In October, more than 200 exhibitions of emerging and established artists, openings, demonstrations, tours, open studios and neighborhood art walks take place at galleries, cultural centers and arts buildings throughout the city. Chicago Artists Month is organized by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and is made possible through support provided by Bank of America.

Whimsical, provocative, and sublime, the work of new media artist Golan Levin explores the possibilities of code, screens, interactivity, and our relationship with machines. Levin creates collaborative digital systems, resulting in performances like Dialtones (A Telesymphony) (2001), a musical composition with sounds generated through the carefully choreographed dialing and ringing of the audience’s own mobile phones; software art such as The Dumpster: A Visualization of Romantic Breakups (2005), which offers novel perspectives on online communications; and Eyecode (2007), an installation with imagery generated from its viewer’s eyes. Levin will discuss these works and more in an interactive screening and lecture. Co-presented by the Department of Interactive Arts & Media, Columbia College Chicago. 1997-2009, USA, multiple formats, ca. 90 min.

GOLAN LEVIN is an artist and engineer whose work focuses on the language of interactivity-verbal, vocal and visual. He has spent half his life as an artist embedded within technological research environments, including the MIT Media Laboratory, the Ars Electronica Futurelab, and the former Interval Research Corporation in Palo Alto. His work has exhibited widely across North America, Europe, Asia, including at the 2004 Whitney Biennial, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Kitchen, and the Neuberger Museum, all in New York; the Ars Electronica Center in Linz, Austria; The Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei, Taiwan; the NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC) in Tokyo, Japan; and the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM) in Karlsruhe, Germany, among other venues.
