Art.on.Wires -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Festival for Live and Interactive Art & Technology May 10 - 13 2010 Oslo, Norway http://art-on-wires.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art.on.Wires is an open laboratory for live and interactive art where researchers, engineers and practitioneers from various fields collaborate to explore and create a new generation of media technologies for artistic performances and mixed-reality spaces. The Art.on.Wires festival will take place at Kanonhallen, an old industry building in Oslo. The four-day event will feature presentations from artists and researchers, workshops on artistic programming tools, podium discussions and a vibrant yet cosy working environment with much space for collaboration and experimentation. During the evenings the general public is invited to visit us for experimental arts performances. Kanonhallen has a 50m x 15m hall where we will set up two experimental stages with cameras, projectors, display surfaces, motion sensors, sound and light equipment from our research labs. Everything will be connected to a fast networking backbone to share video, sound, motion and other sensor data between all participants. We invite choreographers, dancers, singers, actors, musicians, composers, DJs, VJs, visual artists, programmers, set designers, light engineers, sound engineers and other interested artists and engineers to join our workspace. Art.on.Wires provides an environment for scientific and artistic encounters, for experimentation and performing, for discussion and reflection. The success of the symposium relies on the spirit and ideas of all our participants. Everyone is important and everyone is encouraged to bring and connect computers and other equipment, to share and use real-time data, to learn and to explore new directions. ============== Events ============== - keynote talks by Mark Coniglio and Atau Tanaka - dorkbot presentations - workshops on artistic programming toolkits, technology and performance - plenary discussions - concerts and performances ============== Topics ============== The main topics for this year are Space and Interaction. Artistically we are interested in interactions with smart performance spaces and interactions between people in remote networked performance spaces. On the engineering side issues of interest are the integration of Vision, Sound and Motion technologies into a local space to enable remote and mixed-reality interactions. In particular we like to: - learn how to integrate audiovisual spaces, projection environments and motion sensing for natural remote interactions between humans - re-think the concept of physical space when merging local with remote reality - re-define the concepts of site and location for networked performances - investigate the notion of dis-location, re-location and remote interaction between artists and audience(s) ============== Workshops ============== - OpenFrameworks (Arturo Castro) - Motion Capture Systems and Techniques (Alexander Refsum Jensenius) - BoBo – Gadgetto (DAAL/DKIA) - Playful Spaces (DAAL/DKIA) - Isadora – Advanced Features Quick Boot (Mark Coniglio) - Using Interactive Environments for Performance - Dance Track (Johanna Roggan) - Visuals Track, VVVV (Marko Ritter) - Music Track, Ableton Live (Kacob Korn) - Telematic Interaction (Alexander Carôt) ========================= Artistic Scholarships ========================= We offer 10 scholarships in the form of a free festival pass to selected artists. To apply for a scholarship, send a one page PDF file with a brief description of your idea/concept for an interactive performance or an interactive installation to echa [at] simula [dot] no. Use 'Art.on.Wires Artistic Scholarship' as the email subject. Application deadline is Sunday, April 25th. The organisers will then select the 10 best ideas. Selection criteria are originality of your proposal, relevance of your idea for the main topic, maturity of your concept and presentation quality. A link to an accompanying video which further describes your idea or shows some of your related work is appreciated. Artists receiving a scholarship will get the chance to develop their piece together with the artistic instructors and engineers at Art.on.Wires and present the work at the Wednesday evening performance and the OpenLaboratory event in Thursday. ============== Dates ============== 25/4 - Application Deadline for Artistic Scholarships 25/4 - Early Registration Ends 10/5 - Art.on.Wires starts ============== Organisation ============== Alexander Eichhorn Simula Research Laboratory, Oslo Deepak Dwarakanath Simula Research Laboratory, Oslo Alexander Refsum Jensenius FourMS Group, University of Oslo Lars Graugaard Systematic Understanding of Music (SUM), Denmark -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
