Josephine Baker and Rhianna - Red Wine and French Fries - Professional Wrestling and Greek Gods. Outside of time, trends, zeitgeists and images actively sign and signify. Understanding and deploying their mechanisms are among the chief of the powers of artists. Determined Desires applies basic semiotic principles to the analysis of popular culture and politics and from the past and seeks analogous events of the present and speculates the future. Students will form small research groups to discover contemporary analogs for the popular cultural musings presented in Roland Barthes collected MYTHOLOGIES essays (1957). They will present their findings bi-weekly in class using audio-visual media to make their research explicit and to discuss the ways in which their own practices can exploit these strategies. Students will also develop and produce three to five projects using the materials of their choice and choose at least one of their pieces for revision as their final project.<br />

Systems, Codes & Spaces critically introduces the art of nonlinear Media Art and provides a historical and theoretical understanding of Digital Art forms. As Jack Burnham wrote in his 1968 essay Systems Esthetics, systems "may contain people, ideas, messages, atmospheric conditions, power sources, and so on". Close readings of systems and processes of interactive, digital and New Media Art will train students in the core aesthetic decisions, structures, strategies and demands of complex Media Art systems. This will involve screening works and analyzing these works through structural considerations of influential projects in the mediums of Video, Installation, Interactivity, New Media and Experimental 3D. Students read relevant Media Art historical and theoretical texts, discussing these texts in relation to projects shown in class. Writings drawn from Media Art Histories, such as those by Jack Burnham, Pamela Lee and Edward A. Shanken; and from nearby fields of research such as Cybernetics, will be mobilized as tools to understand nodal networks and ongoing relationships. Students should be taking Video: Crash Course and/or New Media: Crash Course simultaneously with this class.<br />

PM<br /><br /> SITE: <a href="http://mcachicago.org/">Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago</a><br /><br /> CONTEXT: <a href="http://www.byobworldwide.com/tagged/chicago_mca">BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer) Chicago</a>: <a href="http://www.byobworldwide.com/">http://www.byobworldwide.com</a><br /><br />DESCRIPTION/DOCUMENTATION:</p><br /><p>in the performance/projection "jonCates, Digital Arts Collector" i had same day Business Cards (1) printed which read:</p><br /><p>jonCates<br /><br /> Digital Arts Collector</p><br /><p>INSTITVTE FOR THE ANIMATED GIF<br /><br /> jonCates, Founder && Archivist<br /><br /> Special Collections department<br /><br /> <a href="http://instanigif.tumblr.com/">instanigif.tumblr.com</a></p><br /><p>the Business Card feels to me like an old-fashioned format for interpersonal interactions, like an antique form of communication or rather (self) promotion from an earlier era. at a recent conference (2) i was often asked for my business card (which i do not normally carry or even maintain current versions of) and presented w/a range of business cards from academics and artists. i found receiving these cards both novel and strange. this experience combined w/my invitation to participate in this most recent <a href="http://systemsapproach.tumblr.com/tagged/BYOB_Chicago">BYOB Chicago</a> iteration of the ongoing series/platform. the <a href="http://www.byobworldwide.com/">BYOB Worldwide</a> project initiated by <a href="http://www.newrafael.com/">Rafaël Rozendaal</a> relies on Salon-style 'hanging' of the projections, social networks and networking and recent Web 2.0 technologies/platforms (such as tumblr, which the <a href="http://www.byobworldwide.com/">BYOB Worldwide</a> site exists on and through). this intersection of very recent technologies and the turn of the second to last century approaches (late 1800's/early 1900's Academic Art exhibition formats) strikes me as similarly novel and strange, like business cards from New Media Artists and academics<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://systemsapproach.net/2011.10.18/img/annualparissalon.jpg" width="850" height="548" alt="1824 Salon de Paris, official

occurred, i engaged in conversations during which i presented this card. my script began w/the statement "i don't think you have my business card, in fact, i know you dont b/c it's brand new!" then i would present my new business card and ask the artists (if they were participating artists in the <a href="http://systemsapproach.tumblr.com/tagged/BYOB_Chicago">BYOB Chicago</a> event) which was their work and if it was for sale. if they said yes, that it was for sale, i pursued negotiations w/them<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://systemsapproach.net/2011.10.18/img/BYOB_CHI_MCA_FB.jpg"

fact my favorite projection in the event. <a href="http://sarahweis.com/">Sarah</a>'s work was an Animated GIF based on screen shots of low ink alerts from a printer at <a href="http://i3hypermedia.com/">i^3 hypermedia</a> in Chicago, where <a href="http://sarahweis.com/">Sarah</a> is Creative Director. <a href="http://sarahweis.com/">Sarah</a> was also dressed to match her Animated GIF w/her outfit corresponding to CMYK. <a href="http://sarahweis.com/">Sarah</a> expressed that her Animated GIF was in fact for sale and that it was part of a series which may be ongoing, potentially extending on indefinitely as a process. we then discussed the correct pronunciation of "GIF" b/c as Sarah explained she wanted to hear my opinion as an expert on Animated GIFs :) </p><br /><p>i next engaged <a href="http://chelseyhoff.com/">Chelsey Hoff</a> and her brother. our conversation quickly turned to Artificial Intelligence research</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.nickbriz.com/">Nick Briz</a> and i then spoke as i performed my self-projection. <a href="http://nickbriz.com/other/benjamin/">Nick</a> stated that his work was for sale and that it was especially designed for this event. <a href="http://fnewsmagazine.com/2010/10/ubuwars-art-vs-intellectual-property/">Nick</a> also told me that the water from the Cafe was free</p><br /><p><a href="http://nickbriz.com/blog/">Nick</a> and i were joined by my old friends and former collaborators <a href="http://mark-beasley.com/">Mark Beasley</a> and <a href="http://jonsatrom.com/">Jon Satrom</a>. both Mark and <a href="http://jonsatrom.com/">Jon</a> encouraged by performance/projection, performing themselves as new aquiantences, as if we had just met. this allowed me to extend my performance/projection further, improvising details of the Special Collections branch of the INSTITVTE FOR THE ANIMATED GIF, which i founded in 1996. i explained that as a Digital Arts Collector, i was about to publicly open this formerly private/personal collection which i have archived since 1996. when asked if their work was for sale, <a href="http://mark-beasley.com/">Mark</a> replied yes, while <a href="http://jonsatrom.com/">Satrom</a> replied that his device (a microfische reader) was not for sale, but that the print was. <a href="http://mark-beasley.com/">Mark</a> set a price of

Harkins</a> (who i had briefly spoken w/and presented my performance/projection to earlier) and <a href="http://pizzadog.org/">Thorne Brandt</a> then approached me. i engaged them both in my performance/projection. altho i have known <a href="http://pooptronica.com/">Elisa</a> (since the early 2000's when we were co-organizers of events including the Version > Festivals at <a href="http://mcachicago.org/">The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago</a>) and <a href="http://pizzadog.org/">Thorne</a> (since the mid-2000's when we has a student of mine in <a href="http://www.saic.edu/degrees_resources/departments/fvnm/">Film, Video, New Media & Animation department</a> at <a href="http://www.saic.edu/">The School of the Art Institute of Chicago</a>) i am unsure as to the ways in which they were relating to my performance/projection as both seemed to engage my performance/projection w/simultaneous curiosity, distance and sincere interest in the sale of <a href="http://pizzadog.org/">Thorne</a>'s work. <a href="http://pizzadog.org/">Thorne</a>'s work in <a href="http://systemsapproach.tumblr.com/tagged/BYOB_Chicago">BYOB Chicago</a> was impressively projected in HD, taking up the entire space above the <a href="http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/">Cafe</a>'s sales counter. when asked <a href="http://pizzadog.org/">Thorne</a> repeated <a href="http://pooptronica.com/">Elisa</a>'s quote that his Animated GIF work was in fact for sale at a price of $50 for a Blu-Ray DVD. <a href="http://pizzadog.org/">Thorne</a> also explained that i would be buying 'today's export' w/new hand drawn content just added in advance of the event. <a href="http://pooptronica.com/">Elisa</a> added that the work, which is deeply layered, functions as a

href="http://manuelbuerger.com/">Manuel</a> had been previously introduced to me by our mutual friend <a href="http://datenform.de/">ARAM Bartholl</a> (initiator of the <a href="http://speedshow.net/">SPEED SHOW</a> series/platform of international New Media Art events which directly influenced/inspired the <a href="http://www.byobworldwide.com/">BYOB Worldwide</a> series/platform) online via email. while we spoke, <a href="http://manuelbuerger.com/">Manuel</a> asked me what my work in the <a href="http://systemsapproach.tumblr.com/tagged/BYOB_Chicago">BYOB Chicago</a> event was and i delivered my lines which i had rehearsed earlier: "my projection is online. and it's a projection into the future! it hasn't happened yet, but don't worry, it _will_ happen :)" at which time i presented <a href="http://manuelbuerger.com/">Manuel</a> w/my business card and explained that i was proposing to buy works that were currently being shown in the <a href="http://systemsapproach.tumblr.com/tagged/BYOB_Chicago">BYOB Chicago</a> event. <a href="http://manuelbuerger.com/">Manuel</a> appeared to understand the intent of my projection and asked if i thought any works had actually been sold from a <a href="http://www.byobworldwide.com/">BYOB Worldwide</a> to which i replied i don't know but that <a href="http://www.newrafael.com/">Rafaël Rozendaal</a> (initiator of the <a href="http://www.byobworldwide.com/">BYOB Worldwide</a> series/platform) has certainly 'opened new markets for ppl such as myself, who collect Digital Art'</p><br /><p>soon <a href="http://mcachicago.org/">MCA</a> Security began to announce that <a href="http://mcachicago.org/">MCA</a> was closing and that everyone would have to leave. artists and organizers were alrdy packing up and breaking down the event. final photos and video documentation were being taken. i became aware that i had mostly been active w/my projection on the stage right side (upon entering the <a href="http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/">Cafe</a> from the main <a href="http://mcachicago.org/">MCA</a> entrance) of the exhibition. i suspect that most of the more critically oriented works were in this section but this is due to spending almost all of my time on this side of the exhibition, the side on which, admittedly, my old friends and former collaborators were exhibiting on. i felt a sense of anxiety/disappointment in not having been able to have performed/projected w/all of the participating artists as i saw <a href="http://louisdoulas.info/">Louis Doulas</a> packing up

made 2 orders, 1rst from FDS Chicago then from alphagraphics, neither of whom replied to my email orders. so i went to Staples and asked. the woman working explained that their system was broken and i explained that what i needed was exceedingly simple. she helped me to print a small run (of 50) and in the end didnt even charge me. i had prepared myself to pay at least $100 for the earlier orders and so i was super happy/enthusiastic to have these business cards for free and outside of commodity exchange.<br /><br /> 2.

"twohundredfiftysixcolors is a 16mm film that traces the arc of increased complexity and pointed use of the animated gif... Curating and filming these pixels from the domain of the internet signals a new form of movie making and acknowledges the complexities embedded within these highly compressed files... The film is a curated archive that, when screened in a collective viewing environment as a cinema event, becomes revelatory for discussion, analysis, and conjecture on the animated gif's current location and future trajectory."<a href="http://twohundredfiftysixcolors.com/"> http://twohundredfiftysixcolors.com</a></p>joncateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10721378984857387989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20542433.post-65897444664011683022011-09-06T17:02:00.004-05:002011-09-06T23:00:37.361-05:00Hypermedia AKA New Media Narratives course by Tirtza Even!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mzEp_X0MWsY/TmacfGyVsrI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/MKJ3ziQQLqU/s1600/HYPERMEDIA.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 229px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mzEp_X0MWsY/TmacfGyVsrI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/MKJ3ziQQLqU/s400/HYPERMEDIA.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649374840794493618" /></a><br /><br />this course is newly imagined by Tirtza Even + she is dealing w/New Media Narratives in this FVNMA studio course. check the course description below, her work + consider enrolling! contact Tirtza for enrollment permission numbers or more info: teven@saic.edu <br /><br />Tirtza Even: http://www.tirtzaeven.info<br /><br />Hypermedia<br />Tirtza Even<br />teven@saic.edu <br />FVNMA 4860 001 <br />TUESDAYS 9 AM - 4 PM<br />FALL 2011<br /><br />The course aims to analyze and confront in practice the characteristics of non-linear and interactive narrative, by resorting to models taken from traditional media (literature, video and film, architecture, installation and game playing) as well as from contemporary digital work.<br />The course explores the various principles underlying non-linear work, such as excess, fragmentation, multiplicity of points of view, erasure, interruption, dialogue. Viewings, readings and critiqued exercises supply means for students to examine issues of navigation in time and space, the placement of the user, interactive and collaborative authoring, open and closed compositions.<br />The course includes three short term exercises in accordance with the topics demonstrated and discussed in class, class presentations and a final individual project using basic authoring and multimedia tools.

Formats and file types represent ways that artwork in digital or internet media create particular standards of representation. What is often regarded as the minutiae of computer science have now become the parameters given to cultural agents. Or to put it in different terms, computer science is now a direct player in the construction of cultural identity, intentionally or not.<br /><br />File Type explores the kinetic relationships that construct a network of electronic exchange. How have file types worked their way into, or in many cases have become, our cultural metaphors? What are the politics of implied aesthetics hidden within file formats that are regarded as transparent? What are the effects of expediency in using different formats in communication and exchange? Or perhaps most importantly what is the relationship between electronic formats and artistic practices, electronic or otherwise? Are these adjuncts and extensions of artistic practice necessarily a breakage from non-electronic media, or are they possibly fluid and interchangeable?joncateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10721378984857387989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20542433.post-24632380650985459322011-05-05T20:50:00.001-05:002011-05-05T20:50:40.841-05:00SPEED SHOW CHICAGO: while loop is true<div style="padding: 0;

Keynote speakers Ben Fry and Casey Reas present the latest edition of Processing targeting Android devices, designed to simplify and streamline prototyping and development for mobile platforms. Processingis used by tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. Join us for the first public summit to hold Processing.Android workshops, presentations, and panel discussions. The event is free and open to the public. Workshops require prior registration.<br /><br /><br />PRESENTATIONS<br /><br />Casey Reas: Coding with Processing as a Design Practice<br />Projects created with Processing, an open-source programming environment for visual designers and artists, are used to show the potential of writing custom software as a design methodology. Examples range from dynamic information visualization to art installations to object fabrication.<br /><br />Ben Fry: Introduction to Processing for Android<br />The latest edition of the Processing project targets Android devices. Like the desktop version, it's designed for rapid iteration and to streamline how you develop and prototype. In addition, it provides a simple platform for building applications that make use of the affordances of mobile devices — touch input, location and tilt sensors, always-on network access, and portable, high-resolution screens. <br /><br />Malcolm McCullough: Situated Technologies Too<br />Mobile communication applications can increase participation in locales. In the what is now called “augmented city,” the dynamics of socially-produced cultural tagging need not be reduced to wayshowing. Fixed accumulations of information often complement mobile technology in this regard. Locative media often increase the importance of others but sometimes make it ambiguous who is a user. At a cognitive level, the workings of attention suggest much more technological emphasis on context. This talk thus invites a broad perspective on embodiment, architecture and the city as complementary counterparts to the fascinations of the personal handheld device.<br /><br />Daniel Sauter + Jesus Duran: Ketai in Motion<br />The variety of sensors built in 4th generation mobile devices offer new ways to interact with applications and services. Focusing on motion detection and image processing,Ketai in Motion is a research project that aims at capturing, processing, and interpreting multiple streams or sensory data. The presentation will feature the first release of the Ketai library for processing, and outline future development.<br /><br />Sjoukje van der Meulen: A Plea for a Critical Approach toward (new) Media in the US<br />This presentation will discuss the work of the Czech media theorist Vilém Flusser (1920–91). While hardly known in the United States, Flusser's work is of crucial importance for all critical theory - and practice - of media. Flusser both continues the Marxist tradition of German media theory (Walter Benjamin and others) and upgrades that legacy to contemporary media conditions in the footsteps of a Marshall McLuhan. This talk is based on the essay, "Between Benjamin and McLuhan: Vilém Flusser's Media Theory," recently published in the New German Critique (Summer 2010).<br /><br />Jer Thorp: Processing: From Mac to Mobile<br />In this wide-ranging presentation, Jer will show a variety of work built in Processing. These projects, built over the last two years, cover a strange terrain - from evolutionary computing to text analysis to interactive toys. He’ll also sneak-peak some new data visualization work from the New York Times R&D Lab, and will discuss the challenges and opportunities that arise from building for a mobile environment with Processing for Android.<br /><br />Andres Colubri: The Future of OpenGL in Processing <br />OpenGL is a fundamental technology in the generation of real-time graphics. Recent developments in OpenGL (vertex buffer objects, shading programming, OpenCL) are bringing exciting possibilities such as manipulation of massively complex geometries, interactive non-photorealistic rendering and real-time HD image/video processing. Many of these features are currently being integrated into Processing, both on the Android and PC/Mac platforms. These ongoing developments will be discussed during the presentation.<br /><br />Julio Obelleiro + Shawn Roske: Cing, Creative coding bridging Processing and C++<br />This presentation will introduce Cing, an open source library for creative programming which bridges the elegant and intuitive syntax of Processing with the power and flexibility of C++. Cing allows innovative and accessible experimentation with advanced capabilities such as 3D, Physics or Computer Vision. Cing is being developed for use on desktop platforms and it is currently on its first steps towards mobile platforms like the iPhone. Cing is developed by Julio Obelleiro, Jorge Cano and Shawn Roske.<br /><br /><br />WORKSHOPS (register online)<br /><br />Ben Fry: Introduction to Processing for Android<br />This workshop is for people who are familiar with Processing and want to write programs for Android devices with the new Processing for Android. Bring your Android device to get up and running during the workshop. The differences between standard Processing and Processing for Android will be discussed as well as the future of project.<br /><br />Casey Reas: Introduction to Processing for Programmers<br />This workshop for intermediate-level programmers (and up) is a brief introduction to using the Processing graphics library and environment. We'll cover how to code 2D and 3D interactive graphics and how to use libraries to extend the base software into other domains. This workshop covers the basics of Processing and assumes the participant understands programming fundamentals from variables to object-oriented techniques.<br /><br />Daniel Sauter + Jesus Duran: Mobile Devices as Universal Sensors<br />This workshop focuses on using the Ketai library for processing, allowing to register the native sensors supported by the Android platform. The workshop covers data capture, processing and export via Ketai Motion, and introduces image capture via Ketai Vision. Bring or share your Android device to take full advantage of your mobile phone as universal sensor. <br /><br />Jer Thorp: Processing.Android for Beginners<br />One of the key selling points for Processing for Android is ease-of-use. In this workshop, we’ll learn how to quickly produce applications for Android devices. We’ll walk through the basics of setting up Processing to develop for Android, and will create our own interactive sketches to run on devices. BYOA (Bring your own Android).<br /><br />Andres Colubri: Fast 3D graphics in Processing for Android<br />The goal of this workshop is to introduce the new 3D renderer of Processing for Android, A3D. This renderer provides all the basic functionality required for three-dimensional graphics (camera, lights, texturing, etc.), following the API found in earlier versions of Processing. A3D also offers many advanced drawing capabilities on Android devices supporting OpenGL ES 1.1, such as offscreen rendering, Vertex Buffer Objects (VBOs), and 3D text. Level: intermediate to advanced. BYOA is highly recomended.<br /><br />Julio Obelleiro + Jorge Cano + Shawn Roske:<br />Introducing Cing: Simplifying Advanced Capabilities for Creative Coders<br />This workshop will introduce the first steps to creating Cing applications. Cing is an open source library for creative programming which bridges the elegant and intuitive syntax of Processing with the power and flexibility of C++. The workshop will showcase how Cing facilitates the use of advanced capabilities through cutting-edge libraries such as: 3D & 2D graphics, Physics Simulation, Computer Vision, Advanced Interactivity, 3D worlds & animations, MIDI and 3D Sound, among others<br /><br />Panel, moderated by Susan M. Fullman, and Daniel Sauter: <br />The panel will investigate whether a public university, such as UIC, with a mission that encompasses teaching, research, service and economic development should capitalize on open source platforms as a means to increase cooperation and collaboration with its surrounding community. <br /><br /><br />BIOs:<br /><br />Casey Reas is a professor in the Department of Design Media Arts at UCLA and a graduate of the MIT Media Laboratory.

A psychedelic nightmare through film history, a roller coaster ride that keeps spiraling downwards, final destination: hell.<br />The piece is spliced together using snippets of movies to analyze notions of fear, horror, religion, death and the afterlife through the fractured lens of cinema and critical theory. Draeger/Holzfeind utilize montage to mine the history of horror films, Hollywood and others, creating sequences that address the representation of fear, murder, torture, Armageddon and the destruction of all things beautiful. This monumental work becomes a thought-provoking journey into the collective memory and subconscious. By careful composing paradigmatic moments found in these films, the piece allows us to rethink and reposition the implicit meaning of these brief filmic moments.

As soon as an actor dies in one of these films, the film ends abruptly and the credits follow. The radical cut turns initially irrelevant figures into main characters, calling for respect for their sudden death. For Hoehenrausch above the roofs of Linz, Bismuth has chosen a series of films in which the action takes place specifically on roofs, balconies or parking garages." - <a href="http://www.ok-centrum.at/english/ausstellungen/hoehenrausch/index.html">OK Centrum</a>joncateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10721378984857387989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20542433.post-480742875050245862010-07-31T14:06:00.000-05:002010-07-31T14:09:00.324-05:00Celebrate the closing of the IN.F3XXX10N.US online art exhibition!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_af1z4IAyDI4/TFR0P8JNwNI/AAAAAAAAA0s/zzJKcQzVEic/s1600/1NV1t3_WBBW.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 221px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_af1z4IAyDI4/TFR0P8JNwNI/AAAAAAAAA0s/zzJKcQzVEic/s400/1NV1t3_WBBW.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500148862117855442" /></a><br /><br />Join us, the exhibiting artists and surprise guests to celebrate the closing expiration of the IN.F3XXX10N.US online art exhibition! <br /><br />The IN.F3XXX10N.US exhibition has been infected by over 30 exhibiting artists/identities/projects/accounts since July 1 2010!

We focus on how image, sound and other forms of communication are reinterpreted and extended with the purpose to provide immediate and believable bodily experience. At the moment, it is in Augmented Reality, Gaming, and 3D technology where much research and development is taking place, which is why we take these areas as starting points. Vodule also includes material from more established fields that push the possibilities of representation and communication as we know it.<br /><br />Vodule is a word that encapsulates “volume” as in actual body or mass, as understood in physical space and simulated in 3D visualization; and “module” as a reference to different parts or objects that can work together but are interchangeable and independent, as defined in computing. Media covered includes Film, Photography, Gaming and all in-between. Reblogs, news feeds, reviews and special features are presented together to enhance the understanding of emerging media.<br /><br />We reblog everyday and write in-depth articles regularly.
