http://www.vjawards .com

Go out - find a story – publish it:
The „4th International Video Journalism Awards" is calling for entries!

The Video Journalism Awards is looking for non-fiction videos from single authors, the so called videojournalists (short VJs). A VJ is responsible for the whole creative process starting from research and shooting as well as covering the whole process of editing and sometimes even the publication of the film.
A small camcorder and a laptop are the tools of the VJ, which is comparable to the pen and paper a newspaper journalist uses.

The final deadline for entering films for the 4th International Video Journalism Awards is the 15th of October 2008. The awards are produced by vjawards.com , the host is ZDF German Television in Mainz.

The internet is converging all kinds of media, which is reflected by this year's theme "unlimited access". The awards try to cover all known fields of video journalism: films from TV-stations and
publishing companies and productions from an independent background are awarded with a total of 12.000 € of prize money going to the seperated categories "independent and online" and "TV production".
Recent developements that influence the VJ-scene and future perspectives are discussed in the supporting programme of the 4th International Video Journalism Awards.

GAZING INTO THE 21st CENTURY

Second international conference on Image Science in Goettweig
October 16th -18th 2008
www.donau-uni.ac.at/dis

Never before has the world of images changed so fast and the way images are produced transformed so drastically as in recent times. Second Life, Micromovies, Flickr, Virtual Reality, YouTube, Visual Music, Scientific Visualisation, Google Earth etc. are keywords standing for a multitude of new possibilities for individual producing, projecting and distributing of visual material.

The images’ historical development between innovation, reflection and iconoclasm reaches a new level of global complexity in the 21st century. These transformations have hit society to a large extent unprepared. Nevertheless we have to recognize that we will not be able to handle the knowledge burst of our time without further development of new forms of visualization and “orders of visibility”.

What inspiration do these new worlds of images gain from art? What influence does the medium have on the iconic character of the image? What chances and challenges do image dealers and museums face with the “liquidity” of the image?

Together with international colleagues from science and art and keynotes by Felice FRANKEL (Harvard University, MIT), Barbara STAFFORD (Chicago) and Peter WEIBEL (ZKM) the conference will discuss the inventory, classification and historiography of the recent worlds of images concerning the worlds of art, popular culture and science.

The lectures and discussions will cover the following topics:

* NEW IMAGE FORMS AND TECHNIQUES

* NEW STRATEGIES IN VISUAL ARGUMENTATION

* NEW PRACTICES OF IMAGE TRANSFER

Lectures among others by: Prof. Dr. Marie-Luise ANGERER, KHM; Dr. Elize BISANZ, University Lueneburg; Prof. Dr. Oliver GRAU, Danube University; Dr. Stefan HEIDENREICH, Humboldt-University Berlin; Mag. Jan HENSELDER, Berlin; Dr. Susanne HOLSCHBACH, HGB Leipzig; Dr. Harald KRAEMER, University Bern; Prof. Dr. Ann-Sophie LEHMANN, University Utrecht; Mag. Katja MAYER, University Vienna; Prof. Michael NAIMARK, University of Southern California; Michael NAIJAR, Berlin; Tim Otto ROTH, Koeln; Susanne SCHUMACHER MA, University Zuerich; Dr. David STEINMAN, University of Toronto; Dr. Dolores STEINMAN, University of Toronto; Prof. Dr. Nicolay VAN DER MEULEN, University Basel; Dr. Ingeborg REICHLE, BBAW Berlin; PD Dr. Martin SCHULZ, HfG Karlsruhe.

At the same time an exhibition of scholarly POSTERS chosen by a jury from the international call with applicants from 19 countries is taking place at the DIS.

Takuro Mizuta Lippit

2008-07-16T17:37:00.000-04:00

Harvestworks is pleased to announce a presentation by STEIM's Takuro Mizuta Lippit. Amsterdam's STEIM has been at the forefront of designing tools for composers and visual artists for decades, like LiSa, BigEye and ImagIne. STEIM's sensorlab was one of the first commercially available sensor interfaces.

Takuro will present and discuss the history and current work at STEIM, and can answer questions in case you would be interested in spending time at STEIM to work on your own project. He will also present his own custom-made DJ setup.

http://www.harvestworks.org

PRESENTATION
Takuro will introduce the general history of STEIM, from its start in the late 60s as a collective of composers, improvisors and musicians to a research lab, artist in residence and venue for adventurous live electronic arts. Later he will demo his own performance set up consisting of a turntable, dj mixer, self-built USB controller and Max/MSP. Crossfader-triggered sampler "cut n play" and right-hand usb interface "audile" are some of the unique modules that he has designed to seamlessly integrate live sampling into the flow of turntable performance.

BIO
dj sniff (Takuro Mizuta Lippit) believes in the instrumental autonomy of the turntable and the musicianship of the DJ. He is a turntable musician working in the field of improvised and experimental music. His music focuses on the live reconstruction and narratization of the phonographically amplified - the music, the sound, the technology and the past. To achieve this, he uses a unique setup consisting of hand-made hardware interfaces and a custom Max/MSP software along with one turntable and DJ mixer. He is also a concert/event curator for electronic music and a researcher of music technology.

While studying Art History and Philosophy in Tokyo, he was active as a DJ in the underground electronic music scene and formed a collective called smashTV productions which organized genre-mixing events such as anti-Gravity and bistro-Smash!. In 2002, he moved to New York to pursue graduate studies in computer music and physical computing at NYU's ITP (Interactive Telecommunications Program).

Since 2005 he has been involved with STEIM's (Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music, Amsterdam) R&D lab and is currently its Artistic Director.
dj sniff regularly performs with computer musician Yutaka Makino as Audile and with saxophonist Keir Neuringer.

Si svolge dal 16 al 20 luglio, a Certaldo, MERCANTIA, il “Festival internazionale del teatro di strada” - giunto alla 21° edizione - punto di riferimento in Italia e all’estero per questo tipo di spettacolo che, dopo aver festeggiato le venti edizioni, propone un progetto teatrale nuovo: da un lato rimane la grande kermesse dionisiaca e coinvolgente, fatta di
musiche, colori e grandi spettacoli scenografici; dall’altro crescono le atmosfere rarefatte, per pochi spettatori, con spettacoli creati appositamente per una torre, un giardino, una cripta.

Transformations: Camouﬂage and Land Art

2008-07-15T14:26:00.000-04:00

The word "camouﬂage" comes of common use in Europe during WWI. It seems that its etymologic origin,
dated from the '700, meant "to blow a gust of smoke at someone's face in order to disorientate him."
In England, it was Daily News that ﬁrst used the term camouﬂage, on the 25th of May of 1917, to indicate
the action of hiding something from the enemy. The word was immediately transferred from the military uses
into daily life through the expression "eggs camouﬂaged in a scramble", or often to ironically denounce a
bluff: "he is nothing but camouﬂage."

In the artistic context, the wish or the need to become 'smoky' or invisible has a quite curious but at the same
time signiﬁcant origin, in an expression used by Franz Marc in a letter he wrote from the battlefront to his
wife (quoted in "Transformations: Camouﬂage and Land Art" from Helmut Friedel). In this letter, the artist
expressed the need to build some "Kandinskys" in order to make invisible the trenches in which he and his
soldiers were hidden.

Exactly 70 years later, before starting his series of "Camouﬂages", Andy Warhol asked the following to one
of his assistants: "What can I do that is abstract, but not really abstract?" In other words, it seems that
mimicry, in its most appropriate and ﬁercely assumption of camouﬂage, can offer a different point of view
from that of the artistic abstract models of the '900 (and obviously contemporary), including those radical
experiences such as monochrome, located between a farewell and a suspension in the inner deﬁnition of
painting.

Camouﬂage is the title of a show that will be developed in two stages at the Gentili Gallery in Prato. Curated
by Helmut Friedel and Giovanni Iovane, the ﬁrst exhibition will exhibit works by Enrico Castellani, Isa
Genzken and Imi Knoebel.

Enrico Castellani's works have been rigorously expressing over decades (and without mimicry) this
suspended condition of painting as a "promise" of an autonomous and authentic space (further beyond the
minimalist tautologies).

On the other hand, Isa Genzken did a series of monochrome paintings (untitled "Basic Research") and of
concrete sculptures that strongly represented an efﬁcient answer to Minimalist and to its phenomenological
neutrality.

The works and installations of Imi Knoebel "destructure" decompose the idea of monochrome as a
presentation of "primary structures.

"Radiohead just released a new video for its song 'House of Cards' from the album 'In Rainbows'.

No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes.

Watch the making-of video to learn about how the video was made and the various technologies that were used to capture and render 3D data."

Foo Camp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"Foo Camp is an annual hacker event hosted by publisher O'Reilly Media. O'Reilly describes it as 'the wiki of conferences', where the program is developed by the attendees at the event, using big whiteboard schedule templates that can be rewritten or overwritten by attendees to optimize the schedule. The goal of the event is to reach out to new people who will increase the company's intelligence about new technologies, and to create opportunities for cross-fertilization between people and technologies that are on the O'Reilly radar.

Some have described it as a meta-birds-of-a-feather session, that gets smart people together to discuss technology issues. This style of event has also been described as an unconference."

Masterclass “Creative Research”

Masterclass “Creative Research”

Maarten Lamers & Bas Haring
July 19, 14:00 - 17:00
voormalig Fotomuseum, Witte de Withstraat 63, Rotterdam

“To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science.” — Albert Einstein

There must be more room for creativity and unconventional ideas in scientific research. Only through dealing creatively with research itself can we achieve results that could otherwise not be envisioned, and can science remain groundbreaking. Just as in the Dutch concept of autonomous artists, there should be free-thinking and creative scientists - autonomous scientists.

This idea is central in the Media Technology MSc programme of Leiden University. In the masterclass this creative research concept is presented - with many examples - and is much room for discussion. Some examples and results of unconventional scientific research are presented as installations in the exhibition.

Six years creative research

The masterclass is taught by Maarten Lamers and Bas Haring and is part of the six years creative research exhibition presented by the V2_Institute for the Unstable Media. Admission to the masterclass and exhibition is free and open to anyone.

THINKING NOTHING

2008-07-13T10:59:00.001-04:00

A Journal of Critical Philosophy (www.parrhesiajournal.org) and COLLAPSE - Journal of Philosophical Research and Development (www.urbanomic.com) in collaboration with iRes, University College Falmouth, present a one day symposium:

THINKING NOTHING - the void and its resurgence in contemporary thought

Thursday, 31st July, 2008
from 10am to 5 pm
Library Seminar A
Woodlane campus,
University College Falmouth,
Cornwall, UK

From the emergence of empty set as a basis for ontology, to materialist negative theology, to Metzinger's 'nemocentric' destitution of the subject, contemporary thought seems to be obsessed with nothing. But the politics of this nothing seems drastically different from its earlier existentialist and postmodern nihilistic incarnations. This symposium seeks to explore the problem of nothing in contemporary thought, asking precisely how the postulation of an inherent negativity as a productive realm of philosophical discourse has come to characterise our intellectual landscape, and how the contemporary void relates to those of Ancient and Modern philosophical traditions.

Speakers (TBC) to include:

Justin Clemens (University of Melbourne); Author of 'The Mundiad', 'Avoiding the Subject' [with Dom Pettman], and coeditor/translator of Alain Badiou's 'Infinite Thought'
Ray Brassier (Middlesex University); Author of 'Nihil Unbound', Translator of Alain Badiou's 'Saint Paul'
John Sellars (University of the West of England); Author of 'The Stoics' and 'The Art of Living'
Robin Mackay (Middlesex University); Editor of 'Collapse', Translator of Alain Badiou's 'Number and Numbers'
Iain Hamilton Grant (University of the West of England); Author of 'Philosophies of Nature After Schelling'
Alex Murray (University of Exeter); Co-editor of parrhesia: a journal of critical philosophy, co-editor of 'The Work of Giorgio Agamben
