Proof-of-Process

Location:
Vancouver, Canada

Proof-of-Process

Proof-of-Process is a prototype for a community-based research laboratory. It is composed of hybrid exhibitions, workshops and symposia where participants, along with artist-researchers, can interact and collaborate on the development of science and technology-based artworks and research projects at any stage of development - all within a publicly accessible laboratory set-up in the gallery. We seek to create an atmosphere of collaboration, knowledge sharing and creative dialogue. So please come by to participate, offer suggestions, or simply view the work in its various stages.

We are turning Gallery Gachet into a laboratory for: experimentation, workshops and prototyping of science and technology-based artworks. Sign up for workshops and prototyping sessions or simply drop in to view the work as it unfolds!

Drop by to see or collaborate on: a set of intelligent drums that communicate via electrical stimulation, an interactive display of bioluminescent algae, an electrochemical analog computer, and a luminous 3D display connected to a virtual grove of bamboos.

Proof-of-Process fuses research, a DIY production workshop, educational seminars and a gallery exhibition into a singular event. We strongly encourage local artists, musicians, hackers and other interested parties to participate in the workshops and prototyping sessions. Workshops will be led by one or more of the Proof-of-Process artists-researchers and will include demonstrations, discussions and brainstorming.

When: June 5-10, daily 12-6pm. The final exhibition event will be held on Sat. June 9, from 8-10 pm

Where: Gallery Gachet, 88 E. Cordova, Vancouver, BC

Proof-of-Process is a production of DPrime Research, a nonprofit research institution specializing in cultural production informed by the intersection of technology, research and the arts. http://dprime.org

Generous support for Proof-of-Process has been provided by the Simon Fraser University Graduate Student Society, the School of Interactive Arts & Technology Graduate Student Association and Gallery Gachet.

SWITCH: Issue 23


SWITCH : The online New Media Art Journal of the CADRE Laboratory for
New Media at San Jose State University

SWITCH, The online New Media Art Journal of the CADRE Laboratory for
New Media at San Jose State University is pleased to announce the
launch of Issue 23: FUNCTION // BORDER // DYSFUNCTION.

After a brief hiatus, the new issue of Switch has emerged. After 2
solid years of work leading up to ISEA2006 and the ZeroOne Festival,
CADRE and SWITCH have been considering new agendas, strategies and
opportunities. Over the last several months, the CADRE Laboratory has
engaged in a diverse set of activities. We have explored issues such
as failure (its lessons and its utility), borders (real/virtual, body/
technology, open/closed), and in what direction "new" media may be
going. Issue 23 highlights the diversity of these activities, which
we have grouped under the rubric of "Function / Border /
Dysfunction". Among other things, we have interviews with Michael
Joaquin Grey, Saskia Sassen and Lu Jie. Cultural theorist/art
historian Dore Bowen explores "The Function of Dysfunction" in her
article on Fluxus event scores. The CADRE Lab introduces its Speaker
Salon Series, it's new artist residency with the Montalvo Arts Center
and it's collaboration with Ars Virtua in sponsoring the Borders
conference in Second Life.

About SWITCH

SWITCH is the new media art journal of the CADRE Laboratory for New
Media of the School of Art and Design at San Jose State University.
It has been published on the Web since 1995. SWITCH is interested in
fostering a critical viewpoint on issues and developments in the
multiple crossovers between art and technology. Its main focus in on
questioning and analyzing, as well as reporting and discussing these
new art forms as they develop, in hopes of encouraging dialogue and
possible collaboration with others who are working and considering
similar issues. SWITCH aims to critically evaluate developments in
art and technology in order to contribute to the formation of
alternative viewpoints with the intention of expanding the arena in
which new art and technology emerge. SWITCH is overseen by CADRE
faculty Joel Slayton and Rachel Beth Egenhoefer.

DISCUSSION

SWITCH: Issue 22


HI everyone. Just wanted to announce the new issue of SWITCH:

SWITCH : The online New Media Art Journal of the CADRE Laboratory for
New Media at San Jose State University

http://switch.sjsu.edu
switch@cadre.sjsu.edu

SWITCH Journal is proud to announce the launch of Issue 22: A Special
Preview Edition to ISEA 2006/ ZeroOne San Jose.

As San Jose State University and the CADRE Laboratory are serving as
the academic host for the ZeroOne San Jose /ISEA 2006 Symposium,
SWITCH has dedicated itself to serving as an official media
correspondent of the Festival and Symposium. SWITCH has focused the
past three issues of publication prior to ZeroOne San Jose/ISEA2006
on publishing content reflecting on the themes of the symposium. Our
editorial staff has interviewed and reported on artists, theorists,
and practitioners interested in the intersections of Art & Technology
as related to the themes of ZeroOne San Jose/ ISEA 2006. While some
of those featured in SWITCH are part of the festival and symposium,
others provide a complimentary perspective.

Issue 22 focuses on the intersections of CADRE and ZeroOne San Jose/
ISEA 2006. Over the past year, students at the CADRE Laboratory for
New Media have been working intensely with artists on two different
residency projects for the festival
