Wireless Park Lab Days
September 19th & 20th, 2003
City Hall Park, Lower Manhattan
Noon - 4:00 pm

About Wireless Park Lab Days
On September 19 & 20, 2003, NYCwireless and the Downtown Alliance will co-sponsor Wireless Park Lab Days, a two-day event that announces the availability of open wireless (Wi-Fi) networks in Lower Manhattan and explores their implications for art, community, and shared space. Produced by Dana Spiegel of NYCwireless, and artists Brooke Singer and Yury Gitman, Wireless Park Lab Days will be held in City Hall Park, the most popular "hotspot" in the Lower Manhattan Wireless Network, each day from 12 noon to 4 pm.
The Lower Manhattan Wireless Network is the latest victory for the wireless community movement, a group of volunteers who work with local organizations to construct a network of computers to share Internet access over radio connections. Through these efforts, public spaces become equipped with community-owned and open wireless hotspots, deterring pay providers from staking claims. In addition to establishing open nodes in public spaces, the wireless community is interested in how a wireless network affects the physical space and how urban Wi-Fi users may influence the notions of cyberspace when it becomes grounded in a specific location.
This two-day event embraces this spirit of the wireless community movement by hosting an exhibition of new wireless art, a "new user" area designed to help people become acquainted with the technology, and an engaging round of NodeRunner, the critically acclaimed wireless scavenger hunt that was recently awarded an Arts Electronica Golden Nica. The wireless art exhibition will include a wide-range of projects and many of the producers will be at the event to discuss their work. The new user area will be staffed with experts in wireless computing from NYCwireless who will help visitors get online and better understand the technology. Wireless Park Lab Days will end on Saturday with a fun, group game of NodeRunner. Game starts at 1:00 pm on Saturday from City Hall Park, so bring your running shoes!

Levin, Jones & Hermanovic Talk at AMMI
Thursday, May 15 at the American Museum of the Moving Image
7:30 p.m.
Queens, New York
Through discussing their own work, artists and programmers Greg Hermanovic, Art Jones, and Golan Levin will provide an overview of audio-visual performance systems, its history, and future.
Hermanovic, co-founder of Derivative, Inc, will demonstrate Touch, a new real-time 3D graphics performance tool based on his Academy Award-winning digital compositing software, Houdini.
Levin will present an illustrated history of real-time moving image performance. His piece, Floccus, is featured in DigitalMedia and he recently orchestrated Dialtones: A Telesymphony, a concert performance comprised solely of the carefully choreographed ringing of the audience's cell phones.
Art Jones will present a mini-lecture on "The Fine Art of VJ-ing," with audio-visual accompaniment. His work often concerns the inter-relationships between popular music, visual culture, history, and power.
Tickets ($10 public / Free for members) can be purchased in advance by calling the Museum at 718-784-4520.
This event is part of Thursdays, an ongoing series of artist talks and performances, presented in conjunction with DigitalMedia, the Museum's highly acclaimed gallery space focused on creative, probing, and playful explorations of the digital moving image and software-based art.

Artistic Research Science Fair
D. Graham Burnett, Sal Randolph, Steve Rowell, Brooke Singer, and Alexandra P. Spaudling
Thursday, April 18, 2013, 12:30–2:00 p.m.
Education Classroom B, mezzanine, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building, Museum of Modern Art, New York
The included projects are long-term, multifaceted endeavors that are rarely represented in traditional venues such as museums or galleries, making this session a unique opportunity to learn about them through a direct dialogue with their creators. The program concludes with a round-table conversation among the artists, moderated by D. Graham Burnett, focusing on such questions as: Can science and scholarship be the medium of the artist? What can be learned from the contrast between the creatively driven approach of artistic research and the focused methodology of empirically oriented investigative practices? What happens at the intersection of precise knowledge and infinite possibility? D. Graham Burnett is an editor at Cabinet magazine and teaches at Princeton University.

Databody Mention in Hyperallergic Essay
There is an interesting essay, The Migration of Social Exchange, recently posted on Hyperallergic by James Holland. He mentions my Databody piece from spring 2001 (yes, prior to 9/11). Nice that it is still relevant after over a decade. This is a thoughtful piece that ruminates on the changing landscape of what it means to be social.
