3-7 March 2008
Artspace AT Adelaide Festival Centre
Applications close November 16, 2007

Applications are now open for participation in a week-long masterclass
with the Graffiti Research Lab (NY).

Evan Roth and James Powderly (Graffiti Research Lab) are dedicated to outfitting street artists with open source technologies for urban communication. The goal of GRL is to technologically empower individuals to creatively alter and reclaim their surroundings from unchecked development and corporate visual culture. GRL have been touring the globe (SIGGRAPH, Ars Electronica, Numusic Festival, Art Rotterdam) demonstrating and teaching new graffiti technologies and DIY skills to diverse public audiences. Their work has been featured in the NY Times, Wooster Collective, TIME Magazine, Visual Resistance and The Village Voice. In 2006, Ars Electronica presented GRL with an Award of Distinction in Interactive Art.

Evan Roth is a media maker interested in uses of technology in popular culture and the urban environment. Evan received an MFA from Parsons where he now teaches courses on visual programming and Geek Graffiti. He is also a senior fellow at the Eyebeam OpenLab, an open source creative technology research and development lab for the public domain. He is the creator of Graffiti Analysis (video), a project that uses motion tracking, computer vision technology, and a custom C++ application to record and analyse a graffiti writer's pen movement over time. Evan's media experiments include Explicit Content Only and Graffiti Taxonomy.

James Powderly is an artist and engineer working in the field of robotics, physical computing and artificially intelligent art. James studied at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, receiving his Master's Degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program. From 2002, James worked at Honeybee Robotics where he developed technology for NASA's Mars Exploration Rover that is currently on the surface of the red planet. James has previously worked at Eyebeam OpenLab as an artist in residence, he is a partner in RobotClothes, and the co-founder of the Robotics Society of America New York City Chapter.

Urban Computing and Its Discontents
Situated Technologies Pamphlet series launch and panel discussion
Mark Shepard and Adam Greenfield
Friday, December 14
7:00 p.m.
Architectural League
457 Madison Avenue
New York CIty

A reception and panel discussion celebrating the launch of the Situated Technologies Pamphlet series (see below). Mark Shepard and Adam Greenfield, co-authors of Situated Technologies Pamphlet 1: Urban Computing and Its Discontents, will consider how ubiquitous computing may change urban life in this panel discussion launching the series. Additional panelists to be announced.

This fall the Architectural League of New York launches a nine-part publication series--co-edited by Mark Shepard, Omar Khan, and Trebor Scholz--to be published over the next three years--exploring the implications of ubiquitous computing for architecture and urbanism. Born out of the three-day symposium presented by the League, the Center for Virtual Architecture, and the Institute for Distributed Creativity in October 2006, the series will consider how our experience of the city and the choices we make in it are being affected by mobile communications, pervasive media, ambient informatics and other ?situated? technologies. How will the possibility of designing increasingly responsive environments alter the way architects conceive of space? What do architects need to know about urban computing and what do technologists need to know about cities? Situated Technologies Pamphlets will be edited by a rotating list of leading researchers and practitioners from art, archite! cture, technology, and sociology.

Adam Greenfield is a writer, user experience consultant and instructor at New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program. Before starting his current practice, Studies and Observations, Adam was lead information architect for the Tokyo office of well-known Web consultancy Razorfish. His clients have included Toyota, Sony, Capgemini, and various agencies of the United States government. Adam has spoken frequently on issues of design, culture, technology and user experience before a wide variety of audiences, including the SXSW Interactive festival, LIFT, the European "Civilizations Numeriques" conference, Microsoft Research's HCI2020 workshop, Aula, and the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference. Most recently, he keynoted the 2007 International Conference on Pervasive Computing. His 2006 book Everyware: The dawning age of ubiquitous computing, has been acclaimed as ?groundbreaking,? ?elegant,? and ?soulful? by Bruce Sterling, and ?gracefully written, fascinating, and deeply wise? by Wired?s Steve Silberman. He lives and works with his wife, artist Nurri Kim, in New York City.

Mark Shepard is an artist, architect and researcher whose cross-disciplinary practice draws on architecture, film, and new media in addressing new social spaces and signifying structures of contemporary network cultures. His research investigates the impact of mobile and pervasive technologies on architecture and urbanism. His current project, the Tactical Sound Garden [TSG] Toolkit, is an open source software platform for cultivating virtual sound gardens in urban public space. It has been presented at museums, festivals and arts events internationally, including the Contemporary Museum, Baltimore, Maryland; Conflux 2006; Brooklyn, New York; ISEA 2006, San Jose, California; SIGGRAPH 2007, San Diego, California; Futuresonic, Manchester, UK; Sonar Festival, Barcelona, Spain; The Electronic Language International Festival ? FILE 2007, So Paolo, Brazil; and the Arte.Mov Festival for Mobile Media, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Architectu! re and Media Study at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, where he co-directs the Center for Virtual Architecture.

Admission is free for League members and $10 for non-members. AIA and New York State continuing education credits are available.

Rhizome Commissions Program

Rhizome 2008 Commissions Announced!
This year, eleven emerging artists/ collectives were awarded commissions in support of new works of Internet-based art. The projects include distributed sound experiments, visually compelling interactive images that blend the sublime and the ridiculous, and pioneering applications that encourage the flowering of creativity across commercial areas of the web. Follow the link below for descriptions of and links to the eleven winning proposals, which also includes our first-ever Community Award, a project designed to enhance participation and communication on Rhizome.

The Rhizome Commissions Program is made possible by support from the Jerome Foundation in celebration of the Jerome Hill Centennial, the Greenwall Foundation, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Additional support has been provided by members of the Rhizome community.
