T-MINUS- 2006 FESTIVAL

T-MINUS – 2006 FESTIVAL

Presenting works by 11 artists creating in the medium of time.

Screenings:

October 19th, 2006
Monkeytown, Brooklyn, NY
Two showings: 7:30pm and 10:00pm.
Please make reservations, seating is limited.

Abstract: As computers and cameras become increasingly ubiquitous, a greater number of creators are becoming interested in the artistic possibilities inherent in combining these technologies. Time-distorted video is easily realized with affordable consumer equipment, and this ability has generated a wave of image-over-time interactive "physical computing" installations and homegrown timelapse projects. T-Minus3 seeks to bring together exceptional realizations that explore the union of digital media and time.

2007 T-Minus Submissions
We will be making an announcement for receiving submissions in December for T-minus 2007. Please email Chris Jordan for more information, or to be included in T-Minus announcements.

Participants: Glen Duncan, Jonah Elgart, Michael Betancourt, Chris Jordan, Andre Ruschkowski, Robert Ladislas Derr, Nathan Smith, Marcel Weirckx, luke Dubois, Nathaniel Stern, Adam Kendall

This is the third iteration in a great, ongoing festival, which I produced at interval specifically for (tho it was on DVblog and exhibited at the Parking Gallery before the festival finally made it to Brooklyn). They are producing a DVD, so email Chris Jordan if you have any interest in screening it in your area, or in being on their list for screenings and calls for work.

Art Review Digital

Something like this was in my inbox (paraphrase edit type thing):

The ArtReview Power 100 is out on Monday and you can get the whole issue of the magazine for free on your computer screen.

This is ArtReview:Digital. It’s the entire magazine online, in the exact same format as the print edition. The next six issues are free actually. You can register here to receive it (with no future obligations):

www.artreviewdigital.com

On Monday October 16 you will get an email with a link so you can access the Power 100 issue.

Obviously, some kind of promotional deal, and you’ll likely get mailers, but Art Review has been around long enough that I’m willing to give it a shot and see what it’s all about; sign up takes less than 30 seconds….

interactive video lecture & workshop

2 spots left for a hands-on interactive video workshop this weekend, contact Bronwyn Lace, (083) 284-4726. R600

On Friday, there’s free lecture on the topic, which bleeds into Saturday and Sunday for the paid (but cheap) workshop:

This presentation, demo, and discussion ‘over drinks’ will survey the current interactive video landscape, and the pioneers who shaped the territory. Nathaniel will look at documentation of artworks over the last 20 years by artists like David Rokeby, Camille Utterback, and Golan Levin — all artists working with interactive technologies and the body. He will also present what kinds of tools are available for artists, musicians and VJs who want to produce interactive installations or multimedia performances. Lastly, he will explore how someone might achieve body-tracking, motion-tracking or proximity-sensing with basic tools, and take a quick look at ‘jitter’, an interactive video development environment for artists, as well as some projects that have been produced with it.

This lecture will be followed by a weekend hands-on workshop. The workshop will explore a variety of possibilities for tracking information from the physical world through microphones, cameras and other plug-and-play devices. Workshop participants should be comfortable with their computers before they attend – at least able to perform simple tasks like word processing or email with ease. Before the end of the weekend, they will produce simple works that may use a wide variety of tools to capture and track information from their environment and people in it. For more information on the lecture please contact Bronwyn at bronwyn@bagfactoryart.org.za

VENUE: The Bag Factory
10 Mahlatini Stree, Fordburg, Johannesburg
Take Jeppe past Museum Africa and it becomes Mahlatini
Parking is available on Mahlatini Street. There will be a cash bar with music before and after the lecture.
