New Technologies - Distribution of Video Art
Seminar + expert meetings on new techniques for distribution and author's rights
April 14 - 16, 2005
Locations: De Balie and the Netherlands Media Art Institute
During Dutch Open, April 14 - 16, the Netherlands Media Art Institute is organizing a seminar and expert meetings on new techniques and their potential for the distribution of video art. In the seminar prominent speakers will illuminate the present state of affairs, and on the basis of case studies Dutch and international artists, researchers and cultural institutions will present their activities to the public. The material will be discussed in greater depth during the expert meetings. Among other subjects to be discussed are distribution practice (traditional, and cutting edge), new initiatives and new technologies, and the use of open source, creative commons and author's rights. The purpose of this event is to carry on a lively debate on alternative models for the traditional distribution of video art.

Artist-in-Residence project launch: LivingTomorrow
Artist-in-Residence project launch
a video database work by Linda Wallace
March 11 - 19
Opening: Friday March 11, 17.00 h.
At the launch LivingTomorrow will be discussed by Victoria Lynn, curator and writer, Australian Commissioner, Venice Biennale 2003 and former Creative Director of the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne.
At 18.00 h. Linda Wallace introduces the work LivingTomorrow then Victoria Lynn speaks on archive, montage and network, followed by drinks.
LivingTomorrow realises a territory of place and placelessness. It mixes from a database of video fragments to three simultaneous, horizontally-projected image 'streams' -- video fragments of the classic northern Dutch landscape and imperial skies, with images of the urban corporate headquarter area on Amsterdam's fringes, and highly abstracted images derived from the colours and textures of women's headscarves. Into this visual context it fires 'remade readymades' -- video fragments of an internationally popular soap opera, complete with new subtitles. These characters, the artist's puppets, speak of real-life events in Holland as well as their desire to see beyond the world of appearances.
LivingTomorrow will be exhibited in the gallery as well as a selection of other works by Linda Wallace http://www.machinehunger.com.au/LivingTomorrow
Linda Wallace lives and works in Amsterdam; once was medeburger, now is inburger.
Opening hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 13:00 to 18:00 h.
Admission free.

in collaboration with goto10.org
Guests Aymeric Mansoux (Artist, France) and Tom Schouten (Author of PDP, video processing within PD, Belgium)
Fee EUR 150,-
Admission
Due to the limited capacity, applicants will be selected according to relevant professional experience and motivation. Please note all materials should be written in English.

Presentation March 27 from 15.00 - 17.00
_Pure Data
Pure-Data is a "real-time" graphical programming environment for audio and graphical processing. It was planned as a free, better and more stable Max/fts, which has also been developed by Miller Smith Puckette at IRCAM. It is used as a rapid prototype-software for DSP-algorithms, and also as a music instrument and universal multimedia-software. Being a mature project now, Pure-Data is getting more and more popular in the academic field for teaching and exploring computer music and new media art.
It's hard to describe the possibilities of such an environment as its field of creation is almost infinite. From audio processing, to video, 2D/3D, interactivity, on-line experimentation, streaming and sensors, Pure-Data can handle all of these and provide a rock stable system which is perfect for performances and installations of any kind.
_PDP
PDP is a set of external objects to PD developed by Tom Schouten. They are based on the idea of processing data in packets. While it is primarily used for video, the basic structure of PDP allows any kind of data to be processed into any other kind of data. Images can be converted to textures, that can be changed into sound, converted back to images, changed into sound, re-rendered again as image, and so on. The possibilities are endless.
_Presentation
Sunday March 27th a presentation of the workshop will take place. This presentation will be open to an audience invited by the participants. A short overview of the workshop will be given and the participants can share the creations they have made with each other and with the audience.
_Invited Guests
Aymeric Mansoux (FR)
Artist and co-founder of Goto10, an organization dedicated to set up, produce, and support electronic arts. Since the mid-nineties Aymeric Mansoux has taken part in many experiments based on the internet and the emergence of networks as a cultural fact.

Preservation or Documentation? Conservation or Digital Distribution
Media art works represent some of the most compelling and significant artis=

wise variable natures and because of the variability and rapid obsolescence=
of the media formats, they also present significant obstacles to accurate =
documentation, access, and preservation. Without strategies for preservatio=
n many of these vital works will be lost to future generations.
February 14 2005 the Netherlands Media Art Institutes will offer the specia=
