The DIGITAL ART WEEKS
Zurich, Switzerland, Wednesday 12th to Saturday 15th July, 2006
CONCEPT
The Digital Art Weeks PROGRAM (DAW06) is concerned with the application of digital
technology in the arts. Consisting again this year of symposium, workshops and
performances, the program offers insight into current research and innovations in art and
technology as well as illustrating resulting synergies in a series of performances, making
artists aware of impulses in technology and scientists aware of the possibilities of the
application of technology in the arts.

Synthesis and Distribution: Experiments in Collaboration
Pace Digital Gallery is pleased to present new media work from:
Synthesis and Distribution: Experiments in Collaboration
Link: http://csis.pace.edu/digitalgallery/
Curated by:
Will Pappenheimer, Artist, Pace University
Ron Janowich, Artist, New York, University of Florida
Merijn van der Heijden, Artist, Ohio State University,
Notions of synthesis and distribution in collaboration represent a coming together of separate identities into a new and highly invigorating investigation. As a pre-requisite, participants must question or set aside familiar rules and tools to open up a particular problem in art and visual language from different perspectives. The process is likely to encompass dialogue, brainstorming, overlay, distribution, collective practices, geography, hybridization, network activities, and new forms of cooperative invention. This way of working is not necessarily shaped by personal language or personal concerns. It can be understood as a third language. It is a way of working that is based on mutual respect, risk-taking and expansive inquiry that allows a team or group to venture into new and unknown directions.
“Synthesis and Distribution: Experiments in Collaboration” is an concurrent series of exhibitions featuring the unexpected results of artistic and interdisciplinary collaboration. The artists, writers and thinkers were invited based on their willingness to explore and transform each other’s work. They may have already established an existing collaborative body of work or they may be encouraged to uncover this latent interest within the purview of this exhibition.
Artists from over five countries will exhibit work in new media, photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, video, digital printing, and musical performance. Interdisciplinary collaborations will include visual arts, musical performance, criticism, writing, architecture and the social sciences. They will be exhibited simultaneously in all three of Pace University’s Fine Arts Galleries.

“Here For You”
Will Pappenheimer
Installation and Network performance
http://www.willpap-projects.com/Here_For_You/Here_For_You.html
Internet participants are invited to participate in a live network performance project opening Friday September 22nd at 7pm online and at the XINDUSTRIA exhibition at CAFKA 05, Kichener, Ontario. The project is a prototypical internet controlled space which allows virtual participants to adjust room lighting, see into the space, move objects, time clocks, upload messages and sound from your computer play it for the sound system. The guideline is to redirect surveillance, control and distance into channels of giving for physical visitors in the exhibition space. The exhibition continues through September 30.
This is a large ongoing project with dual physical and virtual levels and the challenges of connectivity and mechanics. It will begin simply develop as the exhibition proceeds.
“Here For You” will create a series of IP controlled conventional and fanciful domestic objects to comprise a network livingspace. Exhibition participants will be invited to relax in a living/domestic space constructed in or modified from available exhibition space. Appliances, both practical and artistic, can be controlled by anyone accessing the Internet from anywhere in the world. . The project hopes to create an environment where telepresence meets presence, remote control meets lifestyle, distance becomes proximity, surveillance becomes community and network becomes living room.

Breathe On Me Live Webcam Installation
Dates:
Fri Feb 04, 2005 00:00 - Thu Feb 03, 2005
Opening Telepresently and in Situ:
8.00-9.30 PM, Pacific Standard Time
Friday, February 4, 2005
Continuing live through February 6
INTERACTIVE FUTURES 05:
Technology in the Life World
Victoria, BC
@ Open Space Artist-Run Centre
Breathe On Me is an installation/internet work consisting of a three-walled space with a number of hybrid fan/webcam devices affixed to the walls. The fan/webcam devices are modified netcams such that Internet users can control the direction of a fan from the remote webcam view combined with pan and tilt controls. Internet users can choose one of the devices in the space, log onto the “FanCam”, visually locate visitors in the physical space and then turn on the fan and "breathe" towards the person. Visitors in the physical space are invited to enter a space where they will be remotely seen and will not know who is telepresent. Once seen by internet participants, they will receive an offer of fan “breath’ as a fundamental form of communication. Visitors who enter the space are asking to receive a telepresent stranger’s glance and touch in the form of wind. Internet users reach out to physical visitors in the simple offer of moving air.
To visit in telepresence:
