http://www.artechmedia.net/menu_en.htm

ART TECH MEDIA 06 is a Meeting of Artists, Museum Directors, Art Centres,
Media Lab, Thinkers, Curators, Gallery owners, Collectors, Cultural
Agents, Politicians and Society, in many cases, confused by the methods
and concepts which are so different from the traditional ways of producing
of art, its exhibition, collecting, and way of contemplating.

ART TECH MEDIA 06 was born with the intention of reflecting, analyzing and
viewing art produced using new technologies in Spain within an
international context, and the impact that our polyhedric altered reality
has on their widespread use.

It will be developed in different sections: Lectures, Round Tables,
official announcements for video artists from all over the world, and
exhibitions in the participating venues.

Hi
I've been making little movies since 2003 now & there's nearly 100 of them.
In the meantime vlogging has really taken off, so it seems like a natural
thing to present the sequence so
far in this format, with any new ones I make in the meantime interspersed
amongst the old.
For about the next hundred days or so I'll post pretty much everyday and
afterwards as and when.
You can see the first five ( two of which, 'bicycle' & 'counting -cell
phone and strings remix', are new) at

Floating Points 3 will address the subject of "Ubiquitous Computing" or
"Ubicomp," where computing and wireless capabilities are so integrated
into the fabric of everyday life (clothing, cars, homes, and offices) that
the technologies recede into the background and become indistinguishable
from everyday activities. Panel 1 will focus on responsive environments
and systems, and Panel 2 will concentrate on networked devices such as
barcodes and RFID tags and creative strategies to subvert the
ever-enlarging practice of surveillance and data mining.

Subject: Open Vice/Virtue: The Online Art Context. Andy Deck at HTTP Gallery.

HTTP [House of Technologically Termed Praxis] presents Open Vice/Virtue:
The Online Art Context
by Andy Deck.

?Open Vice/Virtue: The Online Art Context? is an exhibition and public
production space featuring real-time, online collaboration and
interventions in public and private spaces by software artist Andy Deck.
HTTP Gallery is pleased to present this solo show by American artist Andy
Deck, as part of NODE.London season of media arts. For this, his first
exhibition in London UK, Deck uses the Internet, the gallery and public
space to challenge corporate control over communication, tools and
software, and by extension the social imagination.

'The giantism of media corporations and the ongoing deregulation of media
consolidation (Ahrens), underscore the critical need for independent media
sources. If it were just a matter of which cola to drink, it would not be
of much concern, but media corporations control content. In this
hyper-mediated age, content -- whether produced by artists or journalists
-- crucially affects what people think about and how they understand the
world. Content is not impervious to the software, protocols, and chicanery
that surround its delivery. It is about time that people interested in
independent voices stop believing that laissez faire capitalism is
building a better media infrastructure.' Andy Deck

Glyphiti is an online collaborative drawing project resented uniquely at
HTTP. A large-scale projection forms an evolving graffiti wall and
visitors to the space are invited to edit and add graphical units or
'glyphs', which compose the image, in real time. The marks made by each
person, combine with others and are shown as a time-lapse image stream.
Hanging fabrics being shown here for the first time provide a tactile
document of recent years? of Glyphiti. Unlike most image software
available on the Internet, Glyphiti functions through most corporate
firewalls by using standard Web server requests. For the artist,
penetrating firewalls acts as a metaphor to graffiti making: both
activities necessitate the appropriation of privatised space for visual
play.
