On April 9th 2009, maverick video-maker and self-professed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;outsiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Arkhip Ippolitov failed in his bid to commit suicide. The investigation

that followed revealed a man

on the fringes of sanity who had all but erased his identity in favour of living out his life as a fictional character; a character doomed from the outset. Most curious however is that the process of his breakdown was documented and released in the form of the award-winning motion picture ‘Goliadkin’. This documentary, produced in association with The Institute of Film and Video Studies, Copenhagen, attempts to discern fact from myth and make sensible the question: ‘Who is Arkhip Ippolitov?’ “It is ironic that he [Ippolitov] chose to appropriate the character of Dostoevsky’s Goliadkin as his own, for this is a character driven to desperation by the strange and sudden appearance of his Doppelganger. It

is doubly curious when we consider the circumstances of his suicide, his towering resentment toward the success of his movie and the tragic codicil he sought to execute against himself. But what is by far most uncanny is that this movie is a record of his selfdestruction and that we, the audience, are capable of taking pleasure in the spectacle.” Tomas Blauveldt Video-Critic and Lecturer, Department of Unscientific Research The Institute of Film and Video Studies, Copenhagen Shorter videos: Radical insecurity series http://theunstitute.org/Radical.Insecurity.html The Flies series http://theunstitute.org/The.Flies.html Delivery (12min, 2008) https://vimeo.com/10401587 J-P Sartre once stated that the only free man is the man in chains. Stemming from an attempt to develop this idea, the film ‘Delivery’ wrests its suspense structure from two cases of men seeking meaningful performances within confined parameters; the now infamous chess game between Garry Kasparov and IBM computer ‘Deep Blue’, and the case of Anthony Blunt; art historian and KGB double-agent. Central to this attempt is the production of a synthetic universe in which contrived scenarios, filmic devices, edits and sound loops constantly refer back to the process of ‘reality production’ and the parameters by which individuals engage in producing images. ‘Delivery’ consists in a deconstructed journey of the image of free choice and the absurd quest for a meaningful existential performance both in front of the camera and behind it. Royal Male or Coppola's Spyglass (12min, 2009) https://vimeo.com/7838441 Royal Male or Coppola’s Spyglass’ is an experimental narrative about a woman in search of her image, her body and her expression. As she

encounters the male in the language that pins down her gender, her image begins to decay into archaic stereotypes of the feminine that are rooted in fear and horror, and the language she is subjected to becomes one of violence. In an attempt to experiment with the possibility of a feminine language the video emphasises the value of the interruption; in sex, in language and in image, and introduces ETA Hoffmann’s character of the Sandman as the deliverer of dreams to the sleeping, and of nightmares to the awakened. “How does one express the struggle for identity in language that does not fully capture the complexity of identity? Royal Male experiments with the medium of film in order to reject the gendered confines of language and to create a new voice that explores the possibility of agency through the techniques of visual and acoustic interruption.” -

Video Artis ts: Carmen Tiffany: Bio: Carmen Tiffany was born in the rural western United States in 1982. Her work deals with the fantastical artifice and promise of children’s media and contaminates it with life’s, often visceral, realities. Carmen investigates the deterioration of memory and is fascinated by the idea that people lose details and mistakenly add facts that never actually happened over time. Carmen Tiffany received her BFA from Minnesota State University in 2005, and her MFA from the University of South Florida in 2010. Working in several mediums, including installation and video, Carmen has exhibited internationally. Recent Exhibitions and Screenings include MOCA Miami's Optic Nerve National Film Festival, De La Cruz Collection in Miami, Big Screen Plaza, NYC, and Three Walls in Chicago, IL.

Synopsis: Waiting World features the main character Ratwing who is lead by a fairy through many different lands. I am inspired by dreams, memory distortion and children's media.

He’s an artist who is adocumentarian, screenwriter, communication theorist, stand-up philosopher, essayist and lecturer. He has taught at Northwestern University in Chicago and presented at Universities in Canada, the US, and Europe.His media works — film, drama, documentaries, video art — have been called sharp, smart, and visually elegant.

He has concentrated on pivotal subjects: the social and intellectual import of the eminent writer, Aldous Huxley; an experimental film essay on evolution featuring Richard Dawkins (and the gorillas of the London Zoo); an essay on architecture extending from the early works of Mies van der Rohe to the steps of the Burning Ghats of Varanasi; a hyper media installation that questions ‘chance‘ — as quantum indeterminate noise — to edit film; a feature comedy collaboration with one of North America's most outrageous theatre group on Shabbatai Zevi, ‘the other’ grea t Jewish Messiah; and now (2013/2014) a double versioned feature documentary on psychedelics. He has published critical articles on philosophy, cinema and media issues in National magazines and journals and continues to explore the incredible power of cinema to emotionally and socially enlighten & connect.

Oliver has been deeply involved in the study, theory, and application of new media imaging and authoring technologies, and has been a research associate with The Centre for Image and Sound Research in Vancouver and a director/resident at The Banff Centre for the Arts. "Damp: Contemporary Vancouver Media Arts", a critical hardcover book which he co-edited and co-designed, was released by Anvil Press in 2008.

As a member of WebWeavers Network Society, he contributed to the online launch of one of the first cultural websites in Canada, and with Thecla Schiporst he initiate a premiere online gallery & curated festival for digital media arts (digital earth foundation 1994 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 2000).

Institute, New York State; and at the Institute for Social Theory at Keele University, UK.

SHOT ON BLOOD:KOZMIKONIC ELECTRONICA 1/2 of the film was shot using a hand cranked 35mm camera, a 1912 Bell and Howell 2709 — B. The other half of the film was shot in HD. The film was hand processed and using the colour matrix and gamma of a hand made emulsion (using his own tinted blood cells for grain — based on a 1930’s patent) the film was then transferred to high definition video. The work is about representation today — analog / binary — & electricity & hydro power & British Columbia & the beginnings of cinema via Eadweard Muybridge & the energy certificates of the Technocracy party & the absolute value of noise & the year 1957 & regional modernism & the binary communication revolution & Vermeer's “Milk Maid” & Poincar é recurrence theorem & the great Canadian cowboy singer Wilf Carter & Western Culture & the concept of Grace in Catholic painting & the Tath?gatas of Buddhism & Boris Karloff as Frankenstein reaching for the light.

Vin Hill:

Ar tis t Bio Vin Hill is an artist and technologist. Born and raised in Chicago, IL, he lived in Des Moines, IA for ten years before moving to Washington in 2004. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Washington in 2012. Vin has worked as a web software architect, database administrator, and systems analyst in the banking and healthcare industries while creating art in multiple media: music, film, interactive audio and video installations, and network-based systems artworks. His work is an attempt to interrogate the sublime while accepting the answers may be beyond our grasp. Vin places significant importance on using computers to act as his agents in this interrogation, performing complicated actions in a coordinated way based on flexible rules while in close communications with each other. He believes the answers are to be found between rules and randomness, intellect and emotion, flesh and machine. Vin's music is currently available on iTunes, Amazon, and Bandcamp under his stage moniker Oyo. He has exhibited and performed live shows in the Seattle area. Vin was featured on KEXP 90.3 FM's Sonarchy Radio Show in 2010. He has lectured and worked as a teaching assistant in Experimental Video classes at the university level. Vin Hill currently resides in Seattle, WA with his wife Sabrina and daughter Maya.

Ar tis t Statement • Do our creations replace us, extend us, or something else? • What remains / emerges when a signal and source are divorced? • What is the relationship between the knowable, expressible, and interpretable?

My work is a response these questions while accepting the answers may be beyond our grasp. Crucial to this endeavor is the embrace of cutting edge technologies such as computer vision, real-time video editing, the use of datasets collected via information networks, and various psychoacoustic techniques. I place significant importance on using computers to act as my agents, performing complicated actions in a coordinated way based on flexible rules I define. My influences are numerous and varied. Several of the most important are Vito Acconci, Gary Hill, James Coupe, Paul Lansky, and Steve Reich. These artists exemplify elements of my artistic credo: that the answers I’m looking for are to be found between rules and randomness, intellect and emotion, flesh and machine. The answers I'm looking for are ultimately inside us.

Stay tuned for his ne xt e xciting inter active project: Project Title !watching Shor t Project Descrip tion An interactive video installation which raises questions about position, power, privilege, pleasure, and the visibility of their exercise. Project Discipline(s) Visual, Installation, New Media, Interactive, Video Project Descrip tion “!watching” is an interactive video installation inspired by works from three artists: Titian’s “Venus of Urbino”, Manet’s “Olympia”, and Guy Bourdin’s “Mistressand Maid”. These works depict women as an earthly

version of Venus, speaking to sociopolitical power arrangements . !watching uses these ideas as a starting point. I present three models – one in an evening gown, two dressed as housekeepers – engaged in a power exchange. Each one becomes Venus while serviced by the others, the current Venus signified by the “crown” of red high heels lovingly placed on her feet. The work is displayed on a large HDTV. As viewers approach the display, the models stop and stare at the audience. This is done using a camera mounted near the display. The camera captures live video of the viewers and uses custom software to recognize faces and alter the video in real time. A bou t The Ar tis t:

I am a working artist with a lifelong interest in the use of technology. I have studied and used project management techniques, multiple computer languages, and knowledge about building computer systems to

achieve various creative ends for the past decade. I am also an electronic music performer / composer who has self-published two albums and presented my music during an hour long recorded performance on KEXP 90.3 FM in Seattle, WA as part of the Sonarchy program in 2010. In 2012, I earned a BA in Political Science and BFA and in Digital Arts and Experimental Media at the University of Washington. I studied under artists Shawn Brixey and James Coupe, and composer Joshua

Parmenter. My focuses were sound installations, experimental video, and using computer systems as an art medium. My previous projects included a sound installation in a library which used networked computers hidden in library shelves which read aloud algorithmic poetry generated from texts appropriated from internet news sources (Logos Zontanos (2011)) and a video installation which relied on computer vision and sand to control a montage (Ken (2012)). http://www.vincentjhill.com/works/.

‘Seamless’ by Kevin Logan (Audience Programme Note) ‘Seamless’ is a compositional performance mediated through the lens of two video camer as. unidentified man sits at a table, he sonically manipulates

a teapot, smashes it – then reconstructs it using Gaffer tape. Jump cut edited, what star ts as aur al documentation evolves into an electroacoustic composition. ‘

Seamless’ objectifies the faceless enter tainer , dislocating the event from its history.

With a nod to the oeuvre of Tomm y Cooper, if Laurel and Hardy w ere to have e xtended their inep titude into the pr actice of musique concrete, their 1932 shor t film ‘The Music Box’ may have been a precursor to this. The title ‘Seamless’ makes reference to kintsugi , the ancient Japanese art of fixing pottery with lacquer resin seams, whilst also winking ironically at the virtuoso dance music DJ in his / her endeavour to make the tr ansition from one record to another impercep tible. Although the incitement by traditional ceramic restoration methods is one of a more esoteric nature, this str ategy for a composition takes these notions then re-punks and re-purposes them. Its inspir ation e xtends from Vaude ville to Me tzger’s 1959 manifesto ‘Auto-Destructive Ar t’, from the unpredictable humour of Fluxus concerts, to contempor ary lap top electronica.

I e xploit these w eaknesses, using the flaws as the genesis of m y ar t. Through “databending” (forced errors or subver ted “natur al” function), I wres tle control away from the computer that results in unique digital output. The inves tigation of this dis tor tion produces a self-refle xive unders tanding of digital technology that appropriates the semiotic nature of visual language. These images are then manipulated into a photogr aphic or video medium. The final pictures attemp t to des troy and recons truct cultur al significance and r aise ques tions about the mediation of ar t vis-a-vis technology.

Moreover, the forced glitches create a simple aes the tic that is rich in color and te x ture. Stripes become convoluted and intermix ed; light and dark turn and twis t into each other creating a dr amatically chaotic architecture. Unique formal qualities of te xture, light and motion are formed; and, contr as t and flow growing more e vident. Fur thermore, pulsing, glowing light and patterns sugges t movement and e xploded and degr aded pix els mutate into inorganic shapes. The data of this process is recorded to cons truct a digital terr ain that s triving to familiarize the now unfamiliar.

Semaphore (of Dendroid Origin) single channel video, running time:14:11, 2011

Conceived as an origin video to the photogr aphic series Dendroid--a collision be tw een the digital landscape and landscape photogr aph y-Toban Nichols e xpands on this inves tigation with Semaphore. Tr aditionally, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;semaphoreâ&#x20AC;? was a tr ain signal that indicated the s tate of the tr ack ahead and how a tr ain should advance, such as: clear, caution or s top. In the video, we see scenes of two people in a domes tic space which alternate be tw een panor amic vis tas of rolling foothills, a cr aggy coas t and an urban shipyard. The semaphores--the man and woman--perform seemingly arbitr ary ges tures which then allow the vie wer to proceed into the meditative landscapes.

Keeping with his dis tinctive process of manipulating technology, Nichols ele vates his deconstructionist tendencies creating vibrantly colored star-burst explosions and kaleidoscopic

“semaphorms” that whimsically tr ansform and dissolve back into the scenes. The digital dis tor tion layered on top of picturesque tableaus (and the canned sounds of nature) sugges t the way technology has mediated our interpre tation of the surrounding environment and the tr ansient ebb and flow of the techno-dis tor tion highlights how visual/ digital information invades our daily routines. A dditionally, Semaphore considers the e xponential r ate of technological advancement (predicated by Moore’s Law) and socie ty's unques tioning forward march toward a mutable and unforeseen future. -Cr aig M.

MARTA IVANOVA Born 1991-03-22 Russia. Lives and study in Vilnius, Lithuania. Education: National M.K.Ciurlionis Art School, sculpture specialty. 2003-2010 Vilnius Academy of Art, Photography and Media Art Departament, 2010-2014 (BA) Marta Ivanova is photography and media artist, mainly interested in woman‘s theme and the ways of her body expression. She explores woman‘s body as a battle field, as an atlas. Marta is trying to push a creative link to a viewer of a woman as a

“spot”, a “masquerade master”; woman as a residue, as a man - scanner object, a skin cast-off, a woman as a bedroom. By using video and photographic media in works, artist creates a 'thin' intermediate layer between tenderness and violence, between concealing and unveiling, between HIM and HER.

“Neck ties” The work “Neckties” consis ts of ties projection and screen work with shrinking- releasing tie loop. The projection “Neckties”consis ts of various scanned neckties,their sound was recorded by special computer progr am,which conver ts images to sound .Every sound had specifics Audio accents ,which w ere heighten manually from hearing. Neckties se t reminds the ( Y ) incomple te chromosomes se t. The second component is another de tail of neck tie ,which is displaying on the A3 forma t screen .In shrinking and releasing move I observed masculine mas turba tion moves .

Necktie has various links,s ta tements,bu t I choose the link to phallus. “Phallus is not the physical body organ, but the goverment/pow er symbol,organ.” “ Woman desires phallus, but ge ts only penis.”J.Lacan The projection was e xhibited in the dark cube.Every necktie was very pow erful and had their own message to the audience. And the video screen was near to the projection ,but you couldn’t see both segments in one time. The video screen

Dandakaranya - The jungle of punishment Death. Disas ter. Des truction. Displacement. Dandak ar anya, the jungle of punishment, was the m ythical abode of Lord Ram and sheltered a primitive tribe who hummed uncoded songs of life. The mysterious char acter of terr ain reinforced the enigma. Fe w e ver visited A bujhmaad, the unknown hills. The m yth is stripped off today as the woods are now the nucleus of the biggest insurgency in independent India, Maois t-police conflict, that has seen over 5000 corpses in the las t 15 years. Animals disappeared, tribal life des troyed, natives migr ated as police bunkers today dot the once secluded fores t and rebels lurch in dark with stolen weapons. Encounters and rapes have acquired a yawning banality, tears elude the barren e yes. No end in sight, the battle r ages on Dur ation – 2min 26 sec.

At the Dawn of the 21s t Century: A Vie w -Thought The Red Window "(The Critical Time of the World Civilization)

"ALL AROUND US ARE RACIAL AND TRIBAL, WAR, BORDER, PHENOMENON,TRAGEDY, VICTIM, CONFUSE AND CONFLICT. HOW ARE WE TO INTERPRET THESE -- SIGNS OF THE TIMES -- IN THEIR PROPER CONTEXT?" Basic Concep t: My goal is to inves tigate the e xpressive possibilities of concep tual visual language and to de velop Collabor ative Ne w Ar t as par t of both Contempor ary Ar t/Contempor ary Global Structure and the Technological Civilization in which we live today. I am especially interes ted in finding out how contempor ary ar t can enhance the dis tribution of information and fos ter a profound universality in the human nature and cross-cultur al ar tis tic and critical collabor ation. The meaning of the very possibility to enrich contempor ary ar t may also come into ques tion. In m y inquiry, I am guided by the following se t of ques tions: Are sensations-reactions to contempor ary ar t s till significant today? In what way and how can contempor ary ar t theory and pr actice address and help solve todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global problems? And finally, Can contempor ary concep tual ar t disclose the corrup ted social values in mega polices and create a bridge be tw een the present and the future gener ations?.

His video and inter active work has e xhibited in fes tivals and galleries in Ne w York, Berlin, S達o Paulo and Los Angeles, including SIGGRAPH and FILE Electronic Language Interna tional Fes tival. He currently works on physical compu ting projects, designing new interfaces and electronic sculp tures. He teaches game design as an Assis tant Professor in University of Baltimore's Simulation and Digital Enter tainment progr am and has an MFA from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. October 2003 he finished two years as an HIV Health Ex tension Agent for the Peace Corps in Mali, Wes t Africa.

Bap tize, by A aron Oldenburg: This is from a series of e xperimental video games exploring religious actions. As an atheis t who ne ver theless feels religion to be a par t of my life, I choose cer tain rituals, activities or mental games that people play to reinforce their faith and a ttemp t to simulate them through game mechanics. I begin with verbs such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bap tizeâ&#x20AC;? and with these attemp t to create game mechanics that e xpress feelings associa ted with those verbs, because the essential expressive power of

a game is through the repetitive performance of an action.

Molly Br adbury: Derive sugges ts the tension and anxie ty of urban e xis tence. Visually the piece presents a scenario for a hyper -vigilance towards s timuli, though the seduction of the spectacle dr aws the vie wer

in. The ephemer ality within the mise-en-scene provokes an unse ttling desire to res t on a moment, though the moment is always deferred.

Molly Br adbury is an ar tis t working with video and sound, currently residing in Santa Fe, NM. Br adbury’s work dr aws on her interes t in phenomenology, percep tion, and synaes thesia, and

allows vie wers to become immersed in the worlds proposed by the works. Though Br adbury’s background is rooted in classical music, her e xtensive know ledge of e xperimental sound and moving image pr actices shapes the work she produces. While s tudying at

Mills College, Br adbury had the oppor tunity to work within a community of colleagues on collabor ations resulting in live music performances with Br adbury’s large scale video projections www.mollybr adbury.com

Fr ancesca Fini: Fr ancesca is a a videoar tis t and performance ar tis t from Rome Italy.

1) LISZT (2012) - category video duration: 6 minutes statement: It is the beginning of the 20th century and three children are posing for a family photo. The children are young pioneers in a colony of Christian immigrants in

Jerusalem. The subsequent intervention of the photographer has added to their bewildered faces the false colors of the photos of the period; a combination of chromatic shades with the odor of cookies and hot milk, porcelain dolls, long sea journeys, dusty old books, and an artificial “innocence”. This is the point of departure for a digital transformation in which the lower part of my face replaces that of the children, in a reversal of time and meaning crystalized in a non-time and non-meaning, as a different kind of story comes to light which, superimposing itself on the peculiar circumstances in which the photo was taken, looks for its metaphorical significance. In this way the three children become three human archetypes imprisoned in the eternal pillory of a family photo. It is a forced communion that translates into reciprocal impatience and an increasing verbal violence that superimposes itself on the words, preventing any kind of interaction. The sense of incommunicableness is obtained by juxtaposing fragments of phrases found on the Internet, in a mash-up that unravels into a contemporary senseless dialogue that reveals how a word not listened to is, consciously or not, violence in its pure state. And therefore the universe concealed in this photo, the epic of human dreams and illusions, in the family album of the search for a lost innocence by these ancient pioneers, is translated into a form of violence that throughout history has brought extreme consequences. When there is only the word, one’s own, the mouth becomes a weapon. Nonetheless, the invitation to listen is recuperated in the end, in a sort of message of hope that I consign to the world through these three unknowing ancestors. LINK TO VIDEO: https://vimeo.com/46791124

2) VIRUS (2012) - category video duration: 5 minutes statement: A video on the obsessive manipulation of my own image, which becomes a metaphor for the general confusion between real and virtual of the "Société du spectacle" prefigured by

Guy Debord. The digital culture and its tools become a self-destructive virus. I could work on the face of Osama Bin Laden, but the fake photomontage spread by the media as proof of his death is already an unattainable work of art . I then brought the concept within myself, in the heart of my "feminine" self-destructiveness, where the pen of the tablet becomes an "augmented" surgical scalpel deep into the void. LINK TO VIDEO: https://vimeo.com/34762733 3) WOMBS (2012) - category video duration: 6 minutes How do you see yourself in the mirror? We do not ever see how others see us, we do not see how we really are. Wombs is some sort of dream about femininity. A woman meets her golem, a piece of clay without features, to be fashioned at will. The golem is a double of the woman, but an amorphous

double, a newborn entity still sealed in its purity and fierce innocence. A deity (maybe an evil one) who is daughter and mother at the same time, in whose womb the woman hides to find peace. LINK TO VIDEO: https://vimeo.com/44171531 4) PARNASUS (2011) - category video duration: 10 minutes Parnasus is a video that tells a dream. And like all dreams, it comes from a small image nested in the mind. The image is a marble statue white as snow. I've never been driven by the fantasy of Winckelmann that still subdues our imagination. All that white marble disorients me. I feel lost, I need color spots as if they were signs in a map. A misunderstanding, that of Winckelmann, that becomes the metaphor for an even deeper and more dangerous mistake: the illusion that the past, crystallized into a kind of noble and abstract projection, it is always better than us, it is always perfect. So in my dream I return to the statues the color denied. The color erased by the passage of time as you cancel the losers of history and forget the evils of the world. I return the blood to the ancient statues, and the ferocity and the violence that always pervade human history, in an infinite loop of death and delusion. An absolute and unbearable violence that with their unreal perfection those white icons had perhaps to exorcise. A dream that serves to abstract from the dream, to return to talk about the real world. The video was shot in Cine Ars, the famous laboratory in CinecittĂ Film Studios managed by a family that from generations creates props and

scenographies for movies. But the growing use of CGI in movies are putting their work in danger,narrowing their field of action and transforming their work in modern archeology. An image of a Time that is already the Past. So I thought to treat the fake statues has 3d graphics, \ cutting them out from the video frame, rigging them with a 3d skeleton and animating them. The hand-made Analogic fake but real becomes even more fake, while recycling itself to survive the Digital Age. LINK TO VIDEO: https://vimeo.com/33705372

ERIC SOUTHER is a time based media artist with his BFA in New Media from the Kansas City Art Institute and is currently earning his MFA in Electronic Integrated Arts at Alfred University.

Eric has worked on many collaborations including The Life of the Techno Buddha, where he worked with engineers to develop an interactive brain wave cap to control video and sound. He has also worked with dancers in developing interactive multi-media dance performances and collaborated with another EIA grad to construct an interactive video opera. His own work develops modes of information flow in which he can control and reinterpret code in order to create electronic forms. He selects informational substructures out of the immense amount of complexities that are embedded in our everyday interactions with electronic media. He is interested in the threshold of perceiving these data sets. What information is lost when the layers of data become too hard to see through? How can we make the complex comprehensible? How do we describe the unseen signals that run through our electronic culture? These are questions Eric explores with the use of Max/MSP/Jitter, creating interactive installations, single channel videos, and digital drawings that are also functional programs, which he has termed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aesthetic Interfaces.â&#x20AC;? Eric has shown his work

nationally and internationally including New York, Chicago, Beijing, Barcelona, and Cape Town, South Africa.

Their more recent works are « Synæsizer » (digital art installation), « Glitch-O-matic » (digital ar t installation) and « X-Peri-Mental » (audiovisual live act) These recent works as the y tend to involve new partners and artists made them create this group in order to facilitate the emergence and the shaping of new pieces of ar t. This group aims to facilitate the creation of new pieces of art (especially multimedia and digital), to promote and disseminate them. So l:ed is open to every person and institution in order to facilitate collabor ations betw een its members and the comple tion of their projects.

(soundsmith) Two activities are filed under the name Exome?ne: soundsmithing and digital apothecarium. Soundsmithing : My approach is very physical. • Exome?ne

I of ten star t a new work because I felt the urge of tr anscribing an image or a feeling into sounds. Once the idea is set, I work sounds like a potter with

clay, or a blacksmith with metal: hammering, stretching, twisting sounds until they fit all together into a coherent piece of music. Digital apothecarium : This latter part of my creative activity goes beyond sound but my approach is quite the same: playing with an abstract material as if it was physical in a more e xperimental way. The sound in itself is no longer tritur ated but what gener ates it through se ver al techniques

to do so: databending, generativity, algorithm, glitch... Site : www.exomene.com • Dorianne Wotton (picture slayer) Dorianne Wotton lives and works in Paris. Her approach is multi-disciplinary : photogr aphy, video, gr aphics, installations... She describes herself as a « digital artist ». Dorianne Wotton focus on representing the æsthe tic of desolation which means outline what makes sense in the multitude of every little things which do not fit into the common æsthe tic and mor al codes. Everything is then subject or object for her creations. She is not limited to a single technique : accident, blur, noise, deformity, te xtures, superimposition, e verything is potentially useful to her work. Site :

The synĂŚsizer A synĂŚsizer is a de vice that makes you see what it hears and hear what it sees. Thus, it turns you into a synesthete, justlike K andisky, who could hear music in colours or Nabokov, for which le tters would conjure up colours. To do so, it is an artificial synesthe te in itself: its video system is directly plugged into the audio and vice-versa. If w e compare it to a human being, it can hear with its e yes and see with its ears and what it sees alters what it hears, which endlessly alters what it sees... T echnique The technique used here is the "databending", which is a form of "hacking" in the primary meaning of the word. Files or datastreams, whate ver their original purpose is, are interpre ted as audio files. R aw data of ten gener ates r aw sounds, this is why Exomene developed a specific interpre tation and refining process, partly based on the analysis of a spectrogr am/on a spectrogr am's analysis. In this version of the synesizer, the music is gener ated by "Visions denaturees", a photogr aphy series by Dorianne Wotton, and the video synthesizer has been set up both by Dorianne Wotton and Exomene. Synesthesia Databending does not apply to computers only. Like it's altering the semantics of signs, databending is possible with all symbol systems such as the human br ain. W hen a human br ain bends data, it is also synesthesia: union of the senses, etymologically. Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon affecting about one person out of 23. The most common form of synesthesia is the processing of le tters or sounds into colours. The use of synesthesia by artists is not new. K andisky made a theory about its use in painting and Baudelaire got inspir ation from it in "Correspondances", for e x ample. This device is therefore an artificial (multimodal and bidirectional) synesthete, its senses having been melt toge ther. But that quality of being a synesthete is only the consequence of its primary function, which is to gener ate a synesthe tic e xperience on its user. It's an ar tificial synesthetic gener ator, what can be called a synĂŚsizer.

Teresa Nunes

Teresa is a Lisbon based artist working mainly with performative text and video work. Please check out her performative text and video installation at:

http://www.teresanunes.pt/

Bio Teresa Nunes Alves de Sousa, born in 1979 in Lisboa (Por tugal) s tudied painting and dr awing firs t at the e xperimental ar t center ARCO in Lisboa and in 2011 comple tes the BA in Fine Ar t (Ins talla tion/Sculp ture) at Centr al Saint Mar tins College of Ar t and Design

in London. Her work is mos tly based on performa tive te x t and video ques tioning what she defines as an essential space&time of the fr ame. Her continuous inves tiga tion within phenomenology of architecture brea thes through the film work where the space of the fr ame becomes her dw elling space. S ta tement As one may e xperience the fr ame as space - in the sense of dw elling in it as a space- within-a-space - then the fr ame may be felt/thought as a cons truction of space in its own right. Thus ques tioning of the space of the fr ame in rela tion to its own ph ysicality and tha t of the space and time which suppor t it. An appar atus to ques tion the essential correspondence be tw een the space and time of the seer and the seen: the contained and inaccessible double within the fla t fr ame as representation and e xperience overlap: which one is to be dw elled upon: m y space or the space of m y fr ame?

Printed images of work. What are they? Images? Work? Or images of work? It is an industrial like process is it not? Small thumbnails prints cut and s tacked toge ther: a deck of cards. Years of work in a hand of cards or a hand of cards in years of work? Which is the jocker and which is the ace of hearts? Sometimes documentation is documentation of work, sometimes documentation is work and work is documentation and documentation of work. The never ending spiral & the moon game. Catch me

if you can. We spin, the earth spins, the moon spins, the universe spins for sure. Thus our stillness. The window, the first still, the architectured frame. Yes, build an inside to frame an outside. The canvas is the window and the window is the canvas. Perspective sets the rules. The nostalgic divine arcadia & the garden of Eden. Paradiso’s canvas. Hortus conclusus. Nature imitates art. Nature = scenario. Velasquez reflects it. Later the seer and the seen. The subject is in. The Divine falls, Nature dies, landscape lives. The countryside, the mountain, the seaside. Law protected scapes, obviously, the beholder’s eye. The still frame, the moving frame and the live frame. The Absolute has fallen, antropo’s relativity is empty. But not the timeline frame. Long live the Heritage. Landscape = scenario. Mass production, labour. Male confusion, Female Sapiens release. Travel, communication, networks. Multiplication & Complexity. Nano & Parallel. The Subject is falling, Landscape is dying, I∞ lives.

Marcantonio Lunardi Artist Statement: By placing his work between the traditional documentary genre and the visual experimentation , has tried to mingle the specific technical and linguistic knowledge he acquired in different forms of expression, and he is constantly searching opportunities to connect the ones with the others. One of the most significant features of his work is the de velopment of a poetic of e xplor ation of the relationship betw een the aesthetic and political content. The action is the recurrent theme of his production : action as historical memory, but also as a representation of the present which wants to overpass itself and its symbolic stillness.

Bio: Born a Lucca (Italy) 1968. Lives and Works in Lucca and Istanbul. Director, camer am an, documentarist, Marcantonio Lunardi has pr acticed, since the beginning of his e xperience, a contamination of visual techniques, which is the most significant feature of his work. Gr aduated from the Festival des Peuples, hestudied, among the others, with Daniele Gaglianone, Leonardo di Costanzo, Gher ardo Gossi, Marie-Pierre Duhamel Muller. By following the master class with Michael Glawogger, Sergei Dvortse voy, Thom as Heis, he has been able to deepen his know ledge of the directing art and of its hardest aspects.

Default is a work of art on the disillusionment of a system which has reached a turning point. A man, alone, sits among the ruins of an abandoned factory in front of a phone. His hand holds the receiver and brings the handse t to his ear. A series of answ ering machines, whose me tallic tones, like a filter betw een the citizens and their Country, direct him in a vital suspension made only with waitings. His request for being heard is mediated with a series of numbers, recorded voices and impersonal sentences which bring him in a compulsive carousel of information and pauses. Suspended in this non-place, where time e xpands and the collapse of socie ty seem s impending, a man can only wait for an answ er which will never arrive. Mistaking a ke y, a timetable or a sentence means star ting afresh. In the loop of the pre-recorded answ ers the nature of a Country is subtended, which is not able any more to speak to its citizens, more and more far away, inadequate, absent.

The ke y to read this work lies in the static nature of the picture, which is based on the symbolic elements introduced by the author. Under the ecclesiastic vaults of a factory of the early XIX Century, a liturgy takes place. The phone from the Sixties, emblem of the economic boom and the table, covered in white cloth to symbolise a sacred banque t, are the ritual props of this celebr ation. The phone call becomes a metaphysic e vent, like a pr ayer devoted to a faceless and nameless entity whose answ ered cannot be always trusted. From the point of view of the citizens, what the Countries usually call a default, becomes the communication gap in which the inability to comply with the terms of the social contr act is resolved.

TRILOGY OF DECADENCE 3 - LAST 21 DAYS In tw enty-one days, Italy has seen change its political system. Silvio Berlusconi, af ter 17 years of government, is forced to resign by international econom y.. There are days when the national media overw helmed the citizens of numbers, gr aphs and languages unknow n to most. But the people have the percep tion that the se t of data unintelligible, r adically affect on their daily lives, on their freedom of movement. The actors of this story lose their shape and are replaced by the spectrum curves of the respective voices. The gr aphs thus gener ated are similar to those of mark etplace whose laws are apparently different from the biological laws,

but they really are derived from human impulses such as fear or elation. The cash of a small shop in the suburbs becomes the simulacrum of an economy that does

not exist anymore while the money disappears in the slow performance of a stock index.

TRILOGY OF DECADENCE 2 - SUSPENSION "Suspension" e xpress the author’s mood squeezed betw een the social condition and the political situation around him. This work is based on a waiting condition: the Italian citizens e xpect long since that something changes. Today each home, each family has one or, many time, more T V. But T V, since the late ’80, became a sounding-board of a culture full of superficiality, degr ade, destruction of each e thic form. At the beginning the voice of the leader is clear but quickly becomes distor ted, chaotic, incomprehensible and changes in a continuous background noise that accompanies the daily life of all Italian families. The meaning of his words becomes unimportant because citizens feel his speech like a disharmonic interference with their lives. Each protagonist observes the view er with an attitude of e xpectation and an underlying question: “Will an ything change?” But change seems impossible because T V ge t the upper hand. The final epiphany of the leader dominates the view er, tr ansforming him in a player of the dr ama on the screen.

Art Statement "Don't interpre t. Experiment." - Gilles Deleuze "When Informa tion is brushed agains t informa tion the results are s tar tling and effective. The perrenial ques t for involvement, fill-in, takes man y forms." - Marshall McLuhan The corners tones of m y digital ar t-making are my desires for e xperimentation and for interpersonal connection. My e xperiments have roots in the multi-disciplinary ar t of John Cage and Allan K aprow, numerous video ar tis ts and underground film-makers, as w ell as in the open source progr amming community surrounding the progr amming language Processing. As was the case for Cage and K aprow, an impor tant aspect of m y work is how it connects to m y teaching as w ell

as m y life. My digital work, whe ther in video, dr awing, writing or code has always been a kind of ongoing ske tchbook. Composition, both in the visual and musical senses, takes priority over s tory in m y work. I am par ticularly interes ted in gener a tive means of making m y work surprising and unpredictable. My me thod of working is nota tional and modular. Par ts of the work may appear in an online journal or blog, a gallery ins talla tion, a fes tival screening, a panel discussion, or maybe some combination of these formats. Altoge ther these different modes of e xhibition allow me to â&#x20AC;&#x153;think out loudâ&#x20AC;?, as w ell as re vise and remix tha t thinking over time and space. Over the years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with friends, family, s tudents, s tr angers, and community members to e xplore how digital media open up new channels for communica tion and self-discovery. The process of creating, recording, editing, and dis tribu ting work provides joy and flow in m y life. Since the electronic means for these processes are always becoming more affordable and accessible, it is a real pleasure to share m y skills and interes ts with those around me. My enthusiasm for sharing these things can be view ed as a mission, not simply a career. The ubiquitous presence of camer as, sensors, computers and the interne t will all come to bear on changes in ar t, educa tion, and e verything else w e encounter. The ability to critically vie w and crea tively produce objects, whe ther digital or analog, will be increasingly impor tant types of liter acies heading into the future. The task of coming to grips with these liter acies calls for a willingness to e xperiment and connect with other people. This is where people like you and I might lend a hand

Ne twork in Movement: Movement Museum, Body, Breath, Gaze Multi-museum, Autopoiesis, Tr ansform ation, Liminality, Emergence, Presence Tr ans-museum http://muzej-pokre ta.org Ne twork in movement is a three-par t project that consists of Movement Museum, Body, Breath, Gaze Multi-museum, and Autopoiesis, Tr ansform ation, Liminality, Emergence, Presence Tr ans-museum. What connects all three Network in movement projects is the research of movement as a medium; at Movement Museum w e ar e interested in the performance, but also the performativity of singular movement, movement as such, or pure movement; at Body, Breath and Gaze Multi-museum w e are interested in the physicality of the movement – body-movement, breath-movement, gazemovement – and the potentialities of gener ating new movement physicality arising from the body, breath and gaze as the singular performance media. At Autopoiesis, Tr ansform ation, Liminality, Emergence, Presence Tr ans-museum w e are interested in performative status of the autopoie tic, tr ansformative, liminal, emergent, present movement; w e would also like to approach and research – autopoiesis, tr ansform ation, liminality, emergence, presence – as a set of organic tools for making the singular movement. Movement Museum establishes with an open call invitation for collabor ation in various categories: MovementChoreogr aphy, Movement-Image, Movement-Motion Picture, Movement- Video, Movement-Sound, Movement- Architecture, Movement-Design, MovementInstallation, Movement-Photogr aphy, Movement-Performance. This open call’s subject are the following questions: How to notate the singular language of the movement, and how does it function?; How to gener ate the singular language of the movement, and how does it function?; How to document and share the singular language of the movement, and how does it function? Questions can be answ ered by: score; diagr am; video work or work in any artistic media. Movement Museum tends to perform its open se tup live; it is also conceived as a multi-day event marked by the pr actical realization of the open setup through all ar tistic media. Movement Museum's tendencies are aimed towards the creation of social ne twork and the possibility of networking by the new tr anscultur al language of movement, but also the attemp t to make every movement and visible. The aim of the piece is to find the singular language of movement and rediscover new concep tual and performative ways of networking people. Ne twork in Movement is not just the vir tual formation (http://muzej-pokre ta.org), it was set for few times in real time and space as living and tr aveling network of different, but co-e xiting performer's body museums. Here and now – at the Movement Museum – how to make the first movement – the one of naming the movement? And is it really necessary since w e think of movement – as the naming without being named? The simultaneity of the concep tual movement e xhibit and the movement e xibited in the concep t: Corpogr aphy – videogr aphy – som agr am – corpo-geogr aphy – soma-gr ammatology – somadr amatology – body-te xt – body not-ar t – presence not-art – writing before writing – self-questioning the form of language before language – cryp tedbodyology – corpogr am – corpor(e)al videogr aphy – corpoGr aphics/videoGr aphics – aspir ated body (im)materiality – concep tual gener ator – museum outside the museum – breath physiognom y made visible – body without figure – choreo- corpoGr aphy/choreo-audioGr aphy/choreo-videoGr aphy bodyScaping-breathScaping-soundScaping in the coe xistence – body-essay - choreo-cognitive movement linguistics – geo-choreome tric composition – diagr am – emancipated choreogr aphic object – making the negative space visible – museum-writing movement – writing in movement – gr ammar of Becoming – choreophilosophy – automusealization without the museum – autodocumentation without the document.

We hope to rethink an idea of museum itself, and to rediscover the body as the living and Becoming museum, as w e also hope to develop new performative tools and rediscover new concep tual approaches to the percep tion of an e xibited object, for e x ample - can w e and how can w e e xibit Presence - by the score, task, diagr am, video work? BodyScapes/Fr actalScapes/ImageScapes We use different tools in order to gener ate bodily and digitally the idea of fr actal BodyScape. First of the choreogr aphic tools w e're using is concep tual dvd map made of nineteen fr actal animations of performer's movement. We try to embody and represent the idea of fr actal body and fr actal movement geometry. Choreogr aphic video tool BodyScapes/Fr actalScapes/ImageScapes w e use in order to digitally gener ate the conditions for embodying, or disembodying the fr actal ImageScape. We tr ansfer the ph ysical moving image into the digital image. This inter active video installation is a base of different bodies in movement in order to make tr ansfer and recombination of different (em)body(ing) ideas. Self-portr aiting Objects Self-portr aiting Objects is a video work with interest in the process of Becoming an object by tr ansformation and audio-visual deconstruction of representation. Image-object and sound-object co- emerge toge ther in the third “Becoming a sound” and “Becoming an image” objectified (id)entity.

Dither Doom: problematize&&aestheticize technological glitches&&errors as a means to develop&&introduce socio-cultural critique(s) on wo/mansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nature with techology

Description

the movement consisted of mostly screen based ‘artworks’ deeply rooted in a fatalistic sense of hyper awareness and excitement that the apocalypse was approaching and unavoidable. much like the dirty new media artists that preceded them, the mayan new media artists sought to problematize and aestheticize technological glitches and errors as a means to develop and introduce socio-cultural critique

(s) on wo/mans’ nature with technology. however, mayan new media artists’ integral focus was warning humanity of their certain and undeniable doom, and this sensibility manifested itself as a collective ‘paul revere’ persona in the immediate months prior to the end times on a variety of social media platforms like TUMBLR, FACEBOOK, and TWITTER.” … 2012 DITHER DOOM “late october of 2012, commonly referred to as ‘the golden era of dither doom’, was a unique intersection of nihilistic joy and an overwhelming sense of forlornness” “recorded in october of 2012, the album became a seminal ‘music’ in the dither doom canon, and further, the catalyst for many of the later era dither doom bands that formed days before the end times in december of 2012” “art historians typically refer to the movement as mayan new media art, or also commonly referred to as ‘end times aware art’.” “post-dither doom is characterized by heavy use of analog synthesizers and a sense of nihilistic apathy ”MAYAN NEW MEDIA ART MOVEMENT"

http://prophecy sun.ca A Canadian interdisciplinary performance artist

artist statement Life is a performance and all potentialities arise from the act of trying. Improvisation is the essential element of creative space, the building block of collective experience. From this transcendent lens, a dance is the sum of its singular inspired parts; a song is the reverberation of a instantaneous and euphoric emotional eruption. My interdisciplinary practice is a manifestation of the duelling identities, sound and movement, that joust deep in my psyche. To process my experiences I use many articulations of these

disciplines to understand the world around me. I create pieces that explore human eccentricities through vocal abstraction, physical manipulations, experience, and visual metaphor. The desire to communicate on a sensory level is of utmost importance to me and everything I see, hear, and do has the potential of being source material for choreography or noise soundscapes. A buzz, a purr, a railing, a sidewalk, a table, a dress, a halting train, a humming refrigerator, a creaking door, a giant ladder, are all opportunities waiting to unfold. Incorporating these inspirations from everyday life, my solo sound practice has evolved from random sounds to focused repetitive, looping cyclical patterns, and processed, affected vocals, with continual articulations on the same sound or combination of lyrics. A variety of conceptual techniques are explored in this practice of sound making utilizing tools like voice, breath, throat singing, discarded electronics, keyboards, a modified theremin, field recordings and delay pedals. Video and installation are key forms used to delve into my fascination with the complexity of perception and its potential distortions. One of my recent works,Cupboards, a piece in which I climb through my partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen wearing only a slip, defines this process. The piece was conceived, performed and filmed in one evening, making its physicality muscular and urgent, and its- sound mundanely authentic. Cupboards explores domesticity, confinement and legitimization, set to a symphony of the sound of my breath and growing exhaustion. The low-fi combination of lighting, and improvised movement creates a strong sense of anxiety and suspense. Other conceptual video performances, like of Bladerunner, pick up where the themes explored in Cupboards leave off, critically engaging with elements of popular culture, such as reality television that reflect the complexity of our social and self-made realities. These solo expressions are only a part of my situating my practice of being an artist within a guarded and yet connected human landscape. I have always carried a sense of heightened urgency in the creation and musical production process, and in my

most recent projects, this urgency has become a central theme in my work. The now is my tomorrow. I focus attention on the life spans of my musical performances, understanding that they exist before and beyond the physical presentation of the work. Each work is a holistic and unfamiliar territory in which sound and the surrounding elements combine to create a unique output. Over the years, my improvised process has honed itself to focus on a single point of departure. Every articulation and every musical choice is based on a workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s originating concept. The resulting performance videos like Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget me, offer immediate images that are at once simple and understandable, but sad in their strangely shaped authenticity and familiar in their organic, visceral movement qualities that are inevitably universal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in this place where the intimately familiar and uncomfortably foreign meet in creative discovery.

nabela Costa is a visual artist, her work were subject of several solo exhibitions. From the eighties she became interested and moving progressively towards the digital image. Since 2000 she is conducting research in the field of experimental film, based on two axes: the moving image - the aesthetics of representation of movement, and the formalization of thematic and scientific concepts. She made ??a few experimental animation combining these two research areas: Web, TIME, LIQST_liquid state, and Landscape, which were programmed and awarded in international festivals devoted to avant-garde cinema, animation and v ideo-arts. She is also involved in international conferences where she presents these movies or articles about the image and its contemporary transformations. Living in Paris since 2010, she continued her artistic research and technology by working with experimental software in the generation of images -still images or moving.

Carolyn Kane:

(Carolyn has withdrawn her submission at this time. Please look for her in the future and continue to follow her work) The Failure of Images (Fifty Wars After 1945) Carolyn Kane, 2011 Images suggest access to another time and place, to someone else’s reality. Images of war–– photographic and electronic images to be precise––are expected to give more: truth, ethical commitment, politics, historical record, recognition, commemoration, shock, horror (and the pleasures therein). This has been the case with war photographers like Roger Fenton and Robert Capa who courageously took risks to procure records of the realities of life and death in war. However, images remain images. Many people who view images of war (which have

become increasingly graphic and saturated in global culture) have never experienced war. Privileged, protected, and safe, one may view images of horror and atrocity on a tiny electronic screen, coarsely filtered through compression and decompression algorithms, rife with noise and digital artifacts. How could one expect such an image––even thousands of such images––to ever become more than a sample or fragment of a much larger, complex, and often distant, incorrigible struggle? While images of war (along with captions and sound tracks) candidly point to the aggression, anonymity, corruption, rage, and zeal of war, no sooner has this been indicated then the delivery platform (a television news cast, a website, a photograph) segues into another subject, advertisement, or current event, further distantiating the image of war from war itself. Our images fail war and yet war constantly and perpetually calls upon images to communicate itself. The Failure of Images (Fifty Wars After 1945) explores this paradox and responsibility. In less than fifteen minutes of digital video, I chronologically reassemble found archival footage from fifty wars after 1945. My image manipulation techniques are basic: layering, enlargement, and juxtaposition. Many of the color effects and distortions (pixilation, blurs, and artifacts) are a result of compression-decompression processes intrinsic to online video. Appropriately, these (natural) distortions inadvertently act as a form violence and self-censorship, further mediating war away from its depictions. Artist Bio Carolyn Kane is an Assistant Professor in the Film and Media Department at Hunter College in the City University of New York where she teaches courses in new media theory and aesthetics. Her current project, "Chromatic Algorithms" examines the history of color in electronic media after 1960. Carolyn’s video work has been exhibited in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe. Stills.

At the origin of each of my creations, musicality plays a role as important as image does and each one influences the other by transmediality. The result is a series of experimental videos and performances where sound and image are so inseparable that the one without the other would lose its meaning. I particularly appreciate using short sequences (samples) and repeat them all along my experimentations, wishing to transfigure commonplaces into coherent work. The sequences are treated as mere utensils, found objects, used to create visual and musical compositions at a time. Unlike Scriabine's, Kandinsky's or even Schoenberg's works with whom I like to identify, neither sound or image come first ; the two mediums take birth in a same creative impulse intended to be reactivated. My technique is to capture very short samples of about 2 or 3 seconds, where sound and image are straight away equally important. The strong constraint of my approach is to never separate them but to play with

their perceptive complementarity. These samples are multiplied in time but also in the picture, undergoing successive distortions that affect the frame rate, color, scale, not to mention those imposed necessarily to sound. The repetition, time lag and arrangement of the samples create a near-musical rhythm that in some cases may be at the origin of the final composition. To summarize, sound, rhythm, musicality on the one hand and the constantly evolving plastic composition on the other are inseparable elements of my approach. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I get what I call rhythm'n'split. I force myself to the utmost simplicity in the audiovisual shootings inspired by everyday life. Neon tubes that light up, passing cars, banging doors, ringing phones become visual â&#x20AC;&#x153;OCDâ&#x20AC;?. Things are distorted and manipulated, reassembling a new obsessive and compulsive reality, close to Dada by its humor and only made sustainable y the rhythmic harmony obtained. From the chaos and apparent anarchy of these collages emerges an aesthetic based not on the meaning or the message but on the intermedial coherence between sound and image. My videos are as aesthesic as aesthetic, in order to bring the viewer to experience the immediate sensory elements of everyday life. Convinced that art must leave the premises devoted it and come out to meet people, I try to deal with video art as street artists do, with the desire to deliver the essential in just a few lines or blocks of color. I do not want my videos to live on the margins of society, solely locked in official art places, but to fit into the urban landscape to become accessible to everyone. To go further in that direction, I decided to produce audiovisual performances, extensions of my videos, to try to share the aesthetic experience with the public in a unity of place and time, like the musicians who perform in concert after having produced their album digitally.

Ali Kirby:

Ali is currently in my third year of a degree in fine art in Limerick School of Art and Design, specialising in Sculpture and Combined Media. My practice is mainly object based, combining making with found objects. I also work with photography, video and installation. In this video I am exploring themes of cultural identity, anxiety and the subjectivity of memory, using domestic objects to create a highly charged environment.

Katrazyna Randall and Dawn Nye: Katrazyna Randall and Dawn Nye have been making collaborative works since 2001. They have been i n exhibits and festivals across the United States, most recently at The Art Kitchen in Milan Italy. T hey both currently live and work in Maine, U.S.A. Ms. Randall has shown all over the United States, as well as in

Micronesia. S he is a combined media artist who uses traditional media as well as new media to explore her subjects. Her work is influenced by philosophy, social criticism, design, politics and the history of art. Ms. Nye has worked as a graphic designer but has maintained a studio art practice for the last 20 years. In her work she is most concerned with telling stories of conflicting human desires, best intentions, beauty and futility. She uses humor, pathos and the history of image to connect to i deas that cannot be accurately described with words. She is influenced by graphic design, film, animation, music, literature and the history of art--but also by the people she meets, the neighborhoods she has lived in and the headlines she reads.

Larisa David:

Bio Eggs, has a ritualistic form in which the action of breaking is repeated over and over, reminding us of the habit of destroying objects on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve, in some cultures, to purify oneself. The eggs employed in the work, are filled with confetti, making

the moment of them breaking sensational, but also commenting on the sensationalism of destruction with no point seen on screen. Larisa David Born in 1988, in Targu-Mures, Romania. I live and work in Bucharest, Romania. I work with video, installation, photo-collages and photography. My work is focused on identity behavior, and how synthetic constructed conducts take form and are influencing us in daily practices. I am interested in the line between fiction and lived life, between nonsense and sense; the way life is portrayed in narratives and plots of mainstream forms, interrogating the behaviors and values that are absorbed and used in local contexts. Because many behaviors are normalized by media and arguably we are raised by entertainment industry, I take a look at, and confront popular visual culture: films, commercials and music videos, in search for the hidden meaning in the media’s official discourse. My position is that we all need to be habitants of global culture, to understand constructions artificially made that are invading our lives and influencing our perception. I appropriate, interpret and recycle existing material, remove elements to disrupt their form and reconfigure them with a new grammar that allows me to dig deeper to their core and highlight their hidden content. This process allows me to make strange and unnatural images, revealing a new visual grammar. Eliminating certain elements, like brands, products or narrative, allows understanding of the fetishistic nature of gestuality and absurd choreographies that are employed in creating images. I explore in my video work, time, performativity and repetition, reminding viewers of the mechanical aspect of video, but also to trivialize actions, to center on the sisyphean aspect of life. I tend to use repetition and loops because I find them powerful and obsessive, relating to specific psychological impulses and at another l evel, mimicking the continuous loop of images and gestures in our culture. I am looking for ways to insert in my work juxtaposing elements to explore banality, creating images that are built on tension and confusion. I insert new possibilities, détourned domestic objects and actions, to form an altered reality gravitating around chaos and order. The piece, I received a Bachelor Degree in 2010, in Fine Arts, Photography, Video and Digital Image Processing at the University of Art, Bucharest. In 2009, I received an Erasmus scholarship to study for one semester at Brera University in Milan. In 2012, I received my Master Degree in Video Art, at the University of Art, Bucharest.

Zhu Xiaowen:

Artist Bio: Xiaowen Zhu is a media artist with a primary focus on video. She uses the medium to explore her interest in the change of personal perception in a global nomadic context. Most of her work deal with the motivation and reflection of going/existing elsewhere and the in-between space of a culturally complex environment. She is described as a visual poet, social critic and aesthetic researcher. Her questions are often raised not only from her own experience as an international traveler, but also from her observation and reflection as acritical thinker and an active communicator. Currently, Xiaowen Zhu resides in California for a year-long artist fellowship program at San Pedro, the port of Los Angeles. She received her MFA in Art Video from Syracuse University, USA and BA in Film, TV & Media Arts from Tongji University, China. During her undergraduate study, she attended an exchange program in Academy of Art and Design Offenbach in Germany.

Producer/Director: Jeremy Newman Phone Call in Noir (3 min, 2010, Silent) http://vimeo.com/38889437 This is a three-minute re-edit... of the B-movie "Shock" (Alfred Werker, 1946) that tells a fictional couple’s September 11th story. This video, built on a calendar square dated“Tuesday, September 11,” explores collective memor y surrounding the terrorist attacks, and questions the veracit y of authored film texts.

The Vase (1 min, 2009, Silent) http://vimeo.com/38740030 In this video, a mysterious young woman clips off sunflower heads, wrecking havoc on a vase of crickets. The desperate, yet graceful movements of the insects are a silent plea against environmental degradation. The directorial manipulations evident in the work ultimately serve to question the veracity of documentary nature cinematography. Bio: Jeremy Newman has directed numerous documentary and experimental videos. His work is frequently shown at film festivals and has also aired on several PBS stations. He is Assistant Professor of Communications at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. Newman earned an MFA in Media Arts from The Ohio State University.

Javril Well:

Javril â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Artist statement Javrilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work represents a vision of the world as it is experienced and as it is imagined by one individual. Javril extracts everyday events and occurrences

and analyses them through video and other media. The outcome of thes explorations of the world is a body of work that is simultaneously universal and personal. The work focuses particularly on places of consumption, sites of mobility and public spaces, as these spaces are a type of crossroad of complexity that seems to characterise contemporary society. Javrilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work appears as a kind of na ĂŻ v e sociology, innocently prodding and exploring what may be mundane or banal, but that can also reveal new dimensions not normally expected or experienced. By focusing the subject matter on the outside world a sense of the modern human experience is evoked. However such close examinations of the mundane produce a new outcome: the utterly familiar is made strange through exploring them through new associations and interpretations.

Javril lives and works in Paris, France.

Scott F. Hall: Janae N. Corrado, Elise Frost , Freya Gustava, and Eleni Manolaraki

Scott F. Hall is an artist working in sound, music, instrument design, still images, video, and sculpture. Hall has invented unique instruments such as the microtonal power ambient bass, harmonitar, arpegguitar, and the duoquadramonotar. He has created several original sound practices which range from the capture of field recordings to composition within the harmonious confines of twelve-tone music to creating sound in ways which are essentially free from the shackles of tuning and time. Mr. Hall will be presenting videos with stereo sound by Scott F. Hall, Janae N. Corrado, Elise Frost, Freya Gustava, and Eleni Manolaraki. Eleni Manolaraki holds a Ph.D in Classics from Cornell University. Before acquiring professorship at the University of South Florida, she taught at Williams College in Massachusetts and at Washington University in St. Louis. Her fields of specialization in which she is widely published are Roman historiography, epic, oratory, and natural history. http://languages.usf.edu/people/emanolaraki Freya Gustava is a lyricist, singer, and experimental artist from Houghton le Spring, Tyne and Wear, UK. http://www.youtube.com/user/FreyaGustava

Elise Frost

is a summa cum laude BFA graduate from the University of Florida in Dance Performance. Choreography and improvisation have been focal in her artistic exploration of movement and life. Her strong belief in the power of the artistic journey through daily expression has been influential in her research of many unique art forms that contribute to the universal human experience. Frost trained with many renowned artists nationally and internationally and conducted many workshops and classes as a teacher at Harwood-Watson Dance Studios. She has choreographed dance and theatre works for the University of Florida, the Johnny Holloway Theatre, and three professional dance companies. http://www.hwdancestudios.com/faculty-andstaff.html Janae N. Corrado's dreamlike and surreal work is a fusion of personal experience and influence created though a partially intuitive process which mines her own subconscious and the human collective memory. Amorphous wash applications and the sinuous grain of the wood panels she often paints upon combine to provide an open field for viewer cloudreading. However, her process of nearly automatic drawing gently focuses meaning in her pieces. Corrado's work is rich with timeless visual elements, moody atmospheres, and the romantic narrative subtext of a 19th century Symbolist expressed uniquely in the diverse international context of contemporary art. http://www.janaecorrado.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfwVqFyuua4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ybjkU9_lxY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsYkBDY4rkg http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=8hgT3AB8AKo

BIOGRAPHY I was born in Lima, Perú, a country ravaged by terrorism and civil unrest. Despite its chaos, Perú is also a land of great natural and artistic beauty. My country’s conflict between violence and aesthetics has served as the greatest influence on my work. After graduating from college in Perú, I immigrated to the United States to pursue a MS in Industrial Engineering at the University of Texas. My engineering career allowed me to escape the restrictions placed upon women in my homeland as a result of gender. Still, while working as an engineer, I continued to pursue my life-long interest in fine arts. After years of being torn between my daily professional career and my nightly classes, I finally decided to fully devote myself to the study of art. My journey took me to New York City where I obtained a MFA degree in Photography, Video and

Related Media at the School of Visual Arts. I currently live and work in Florida exploring my vision through photography, video and installation. I teach in the Visual Arts Department at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL.

Biography – Danny Winkler and Emilia Loseva The main principle of these works is the becoming of images. They follow the shadows dancing in the reading halls of estranged planes – containing the descriptive forms of fashion, ancient ritual texts and those of contemporary philosophers, stylised haiku poetry and metaphysics; projecting a visual world that hides within the blink of an eye – of the art of Sergey Parajanov, turbulent priests, desert roads, torn-apart images, faded photographs, untamed animals staring into the camera lens. Our present occupation is a new video art work, drawing together video, Super-8 and still images within a narrative inspired by the stories of Gustav Meyrink. We are working on a book of English translations of the Russian Futurist poet Vasilisk Gnedov for Wakefield Press, following translations of Russian Futurist poets for St. Petersburg band ZGA and Chris Cutler. Further art collaborations include the completion of a book for a multidisciplinary Peat Art project, sponsored and issued by the Latvian Artists’ Union, currently on tour in Latvia and Sweden (www.peatprojects.com). Danny Winkler started his artistic career as an experimental artphotographer, having previously worked on development, environmental and media projects for the United Nations, One World Media and the British Council. Having completed postgraduate Visual Anthropology studies at Goldsmiths College in London, he is currently directing films, working on documentary scripts for TV and writing freelance. Emilia Loseva is an independent author and artist who has developed concepts, designed installations and written essays for art events, booklets and catalogues. Published in Russian language newspapers and magazines, including Labrit, Biznes Baltija, Ibo, Daugava and Tretja Modernizacija, and author of the projects Czuzhiye and Metro, she is currently completing a book of poetry for publication with illustrations by the artist Dmitry Lavrentjev.

established by Joseph Kosuth, Robert Smithson, and Barnett Newman, he embraces the written word as a critical part of his artistic practice, publishing texts and making paper presentations concerning philosophical issues, his own artwork, and that of others. Lyons currently lives and works in Clovis, California, exhibiting different bodies of artwork nationally and internationally. His Political Remix Videos have been featured on major media outlets, including Wired Magazine, maxkeiser.com, and the IMDb most popular short film ratings, where he was the first remix artist ever to reach #1.

His feature length experimental film, Goodbye Victoria (2009), won the “Best Feature Film ” award at the Chashama Film Festival in Manhattan and earned the honor of inclusion in the 2009 Streaming Festival highlight features program . Lyons’ 2006 solo museum exhibition, ENGULFED, at the Gulf Coast Museum of Art in Largo, FL, affirmed the repurposing of existing ideas and materials by advancing Friedrich Nietzsche’s notionof the aesthetic

object as a ‘Creative Lie.’ The exhibit consisted of six works tailored to appear as a group show of internationally recognized artists whose practices rework classical theories of the sublime. The artworks therein, produced by Lyons himself, were original and hitherto unseen by the public but labeled with the names of the artists fictitiously

included in the exhibit.The illusory environment called into question the reductive qualities of museological discourse and its role as a trusted gatekeeper of art as a homogenous archive of recognizable bodies of knowledge.

By taking the histories, local folklore, and mythology of specific locations and filtering it through the myriad of my own personal history I am able to create a hybrid of contextual imagery within my videos and installations. My work addresses experiences of being an Asian American woman integrated into multiple cultures paralleled with an upbringing in the Southern United States. Throughout each video there is a reflection of my multicultural background interwoven with contrasting historic locations and environments that construct a dynamic contextual network of iconic referenced imagery. Translated through the medium of video I use cinema and poetic imagery to produce an abstract visual story.

Nadya Primak:

Bio: Nadya Primak is currently halfway through her senior year of college at Oberlin majoring in Visual Arts (with a concentration in Computer Science) and Russian. She was born in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, but her family moved to the United States when she was four years old. Since then she has lived in several different states and had the privilege of traveling back to her place of birth and elsewhere abroad. The internet and new media was what kept her sane when she didn't know where to call home and, because of its ever changing nature, she doubts she will ever tire of it.

Video submission This is a story for small children. a true-life love story 2012 HD video, B&W, Sound 06:08 The video has three main elements: written text, spoken text and images. The written text is from the example sentences in English dictionaries and grammar books. I always find those examples fascinating as they display random, surprising and poetic qualities. Their fragmentary aspects also refer to the possibilities of varied narrative context. Since the written text comes from English study aids, it serves as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;originalâ&#x20AC;? text but also as the subtitles to the Korean voice-over. The spoken text (voice-over) was initially written as a translation to the English text, but also functions as the "main" text as it is typical to provide subtitles to spoken text in moving images. The distinction between the original text and the translation become blurred and the two become interchangeable.

Select Collections The Canadian Centre for Architecture Kunstwerk - The Allison & Peter Klein Collection The Museum of Fine Arts Houston The Sir Elton John Photography Collection The Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA Statement of work (2011) This work is both a break and a continuation of an exploration into personal story-telling and interpretations. A progressive, yet ambiguous multiple-media form, it is at times deliberately naive and often has a surreal, stream of conscious quality. I am using a time based medium as a tool for introducing the non-linear as a fantasy guide; atomised fragments collide to invoke the mythology of a poet, the lens of the photographer and the camera of the director. They are psychologically and socially constrained, a marginalized present infused with an unsettled past composed of new worlds which speak of cultural myth and invented narratives. It takes as a starting point strange and remote qualities: unforgiving, romantic and sublime mixed with pastoral traditions in the context of an urban consumerist culture. The synergy of abstract and physical spaces reflect the tension between representation, perception and desire. The process of assembling each work pushed me to consider the gamut of photographic possibility and to

reflect on my own relationship to the photographic image. While sparse and suggestive they are intended to be seen in relation to each other, a sometimes innovative process with all of the unexpected twists.

Richard "CHiD" DiCarlo:

Richard DiCarlo has been creating art since he was a young child. At age 6 he painted still- life watercolors and drew sprawling landscapes on torn opened, paper grocery bags because he used up so much paper. Throughout his youth, he attended many art classes inand out of school. He discovered the world of film and animation while attending an after school program at â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Loftâ&#x20AC;&#x153; in his hometown of Bronxville, NY. Rich along with a group of friends borrowed super eight film camera and began a whirlwind

of Backyard recreations of popular genre films, back in the day such as The Omega Man, King Kong and a frightening version (productionwise)of the towering inferno, which starred a 15ft tall cardboard sky scraper which nearly burned down his parent’s backyard and tool shed. His film interest led him to attend the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Majoring in animation. His interest in sculpture and model Railroading led him into the world of Stop Motion Animation. Under the instruction of mentor, Louis Bunin (MGM ), Richard studied the Avant-Garde film techniques of the 1920’s and 30’s, utilizing unusual camera angles and editing and applied them to his animation. Working “backwards“ (in the world of animation), with the aid of a 1924 spring-wound, 16mm, Kodak Cine special, Richard was able to perform many intricate out of camera optical effects, such as matting and animating light, a feat most difficult many years before the computer was introduced to the film industry. Richard graduated the School of Visual Arts in 1984 with a BFA in Fine Arts/Film –Animation. His award winning, six minute, Thesis film, “Crumbs” amazed audience and faculty members with its semi-surrealistic cinematic onslaught o f ...for a lack of better words...“cuteness”. With the depressed animation Industry of the late 1980’s looming, Richard interned with his former mentor at Punch Films. He eventually turned to his Art, focusing on a successful

illustration career. Richard was a Ghost illustrator for many children’s publications such as Scholastics’ Bailey City Kids, Bailey City Monsters and Random houses A to Z mysteries. He also illustrated several publications for Harcourt Brace. In 1993, Richard headed the Graphic Artists Guilds’ Cartoonist discipline, (a national organization representing professional artists and ethical issues.)

His most popular art form is his hand -sculpted bricks which Richard affectionately calls “Urban Fossils”.
