PROGRAM

1 Slipstreamkonza:Autochamber

<http://www.christinamcphee.net/slipkonza/autochamber.html>

Christina McPhee with sound collaboration by Henry Warwick


Slipstreamkonza is a sonic topology that remediates carbon absorption and
release data from the tallgrass prairie. Autochamber is a sound prototype
that interprets data from an active climatologic research site using
locative robotic sound within an conceptual practice following the historic
HPSCHD by Lejaren Hiller and John Cage. Christina McPhee's new work from
the series Strike/Slip/Merz_city will open at Transport Gallery in LA in
March-April 2005 <http://www.transportgallery.com/transport/. Composer Henry
Warwick, at home in digital imaging and electronic sound, develops data/
sound topologies. He produced the San Francisco Performance Cinema Symposium
(2003) and makes work about the interface of catastrophy and technology. He
is a board member of YLEM (<http:/www.ylem.org>)

Paula Poole and Brett Stalbaum

Created during August 2004, Box Elder County, Utah, Remote Location
1:100,000 binds together data about landscape and the landscape as data,
using GPS influenced tiles, soil samples, paintings and photo documentation.
The project is sponsored by the Center for Land Use Interpretation
(<http://www.clui.org>) Paula Poole is adapting landscape painting
traditions to new media. She centers on the landscape of the Great Basin
desert of North America. Brett Stalbaum is
a C5 research theorist and software development artist. He cofounded
Electronic Disturbance Theater and collaborates with Paula Poole on
land/walking/GPS/locative/performance/pictorial works.


3 "34 north 118 west"

http://34N118W.net/

Jeremy Hight, Jeff Knowlton and Naomi Spellman

"34 north 118 west" uses gps data and interactive map that triggers live
data through movement in downtown Los Angeles. "34 north 118 west" won the
grand jury prize at the Los Angeles based Art in Motion Festival, Aim IV,
in 2003 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/matrix/aim/aimIV/> Jeremy Hight is
a writer fascinated by the weather <http://thepharmakon.org/RightAsRain/>
and 'agitated space'. Naomi Spellman works in locative media, networked
narrative, and was Artist in Residence at the Media Centre, Huddersfield,
U.K.,<http://project_diary.blogspot.com/ last summer. Jeff Knowlton's "A
text for the navigational age", showed at VRML Art 2000 and Siggraph2000.
Also at Huddersfield, UK, Jeff has worked with Naomi to design an
'interpretive engine' for various places on earth, which uses wireless
APs in New York to determine more generalised location. Its debut was in
October 2004 at Spectropolis: Mobile Media, Art and the City, NYC
