MArch + MFA Dual Degree Program
Departments of Architecture and Media Study
University at Buffalo, State University of New York

http://cva.ap.buffalo.edu/mac/

APPLICATION DEADLINE: January 15, 2008

Computing has changed the way we think, feel, and operate in the modern world. This has profound consequences for the way we conceive, perceive and interact within built environments. Moving beyond screen-based simulations and interactive environments, media-architecture hybrids incorporate both the virtual and material dimensions of everyday life. As sites of practice for media, architecture and computing converge, new avenues for research and experimentation arise that require an expanded knowledgebase. Recognizing this challenge, the departments of Architecture and Media Study offer a dual degree program in Media, Architecture & Computing, one of the only such programs in the country.

This trans-disciplinary program offers dual terminal degrees, the fully accredited Master of Architecture (MArch) and the Master of Fine Arts (MFA). Working with distinguished faculty in the departments of Architecture and Media Study, students conduct research and creative explorations in responsive architecture, robotics, networked performance, physical computing, locative media, pervasive gaming, kinetic structures, parametric design, and digital fabrication, among others. With a focus on providing a critical context for experimental practice, this program provides the advanced skills necessary to engage contemporary confluences of architecture and computational media.

This program combines the 2-year accredited M.Arch. and the M.F.A. for a total of 94 credit hours for applicants holding an undergaduate degree in Architecture, or the 3.5-year accredited M.Arch. and the M.F.A. for a total of 145 credit hours for students for applicants from other fields.

FACULTY:

Core Faculty: Marc Böhlen, Omar Khan, Mark Shepard
Affiliated Faculty: Josephine Anstey, Tony Conrad, Shadi Nazarian, Dave Pape, Trebor Scholz, Hadas Steiner, Sahin Vassigh

TRAMPOLINE CELEBRATES 10th ANNIVERSARY WITH A PLATFORM EVENT AND EXHIBITION
BY HEATH BUNTING

TRAMPOLINE EVENT
Surveillance City
Thursday 29 November 2007

Trampoline, the East Midlands’ platform event for new media art celebrates its tenth anniversary on Thursday 29 November at Broadway, Nottingham.

Looking back on this decade of new media art, it is clear that digital technologies have become integrated into almost every aspect of everyday life. The theme Surveillance City highlights the critical awareness necessary to cope with an environment where every movement is traceable, recordable and identifiable.

Featuring a dynamic mix of work by regional and international artists including performances, video screenings and installations by Frank Abbott, Michael Pinchbeck, Low Brow Trash and many others.

HEATH BUNTING
The Status Project – An A-Z of The System

· exhibition 29 November – 5 December 2007, opening 28 November, 6pm,
Private View 28th 6pm

· psycho-geographic Walk – 29 Nov, 5pm

Alongside the platform event, Broadway will host an exhibition by internationally renowned artist Heath Bunting from 29 November until 5 December, displaying maps and guidebooks of ‘the system’ that he defines as The Status Project. The artist will use these guides to lead members of the public on a walk through the city, demonstrating the links between the variables that determine our social status, from owning a Tesco Club Card to getting on the Electoral Register.

Collected in an online database, the system offers the potential user absurd combinations in the mode of “I am licensed to keep dangerous wild animals. I am able to write in block capitals AND I am insured for public liability.”

SECOND INTERNATIONAL FORUM
11.22.07 - 11.24.07 -- Meetings, debates and performances from 10.00 am to 10.00 pm

PAN | Palazzo delle Arti Napoli
Via dei Mille 60
80121 Napoli

The second edition of the INTERNATIONAL FORUM FASTFORWARD: ON NEW MEDIA ART includes a number of events and debates designed to explore the analysis of the relationship between new media art documents and works. The commitment of the PAN Documentation Centre to set up an art archive -- and in particular to establish a collection of digital art works -- is combined to the goal of promoting a reflection on the variety of experiences and on the subjective nature of research in the field of new media. Today, manifestations of digital arts concern disciplines, works, museum institutions, research and documentation centres, but also methods and instruments for communication and education to art. This year the INTERNATIONAL FORUM widens its scope and becomes one of the cultural initiatives promoted by the city in the framework of participation in the Universal Forum of Cultures of Monterrey. The venue has not changed, but the contents ha! ve grown and look fast forward, indeed FASTFORWARD: ON NEW MEDIA ART, to 2013, the year for which Naples has submitted its candidature to host the major event promoted by the Unesco.

It is a choice which goes hand in hand with the will to record informed experiences and opinions on the development of production processes, archive systems, curators' approaches and exhibition projects dedicated to the new media arts. In particular, in this edition contemporary art merges with other art languages and touches the most urgent issues of the contemporary world, mixing its experimental and multimedia languages and collecting contributions distributed across the four themes which constitute the conceptual core of the Universal Forum of Cultures: peace, sustainable development, cultural diversity and know-how.

The working sessions on the agenda at the SECOND INTERNATIONAL FORUM FASTFORWARD ON NEW MEDIA ART relate the four lines of research of the PAN with the four themes of the Universal Forum of Cultures:

PEACE / NARRATIVE STRUCTURES
"love is a better teacher than duty" Albert Einstein
It is necessary to keep a constant thread, to carry out research on the function of Art in contemporary society, on the artist's role in social formations, on the ability of works and documents to communicate the 'common good', to re-create the positive conditions of individual and collective experience, in a language that uses visionary tools to express feelings, stories, emotions completing the rational sharing of will and ethics. About art creations, one may say what Jacques Monod said about science "the candour of a new look (the look of science always is) can sometimes shed new light on ancient problems"

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT / PROSPECTIVES AND LIMITS OF PRODUCTION
"They would saw the branches on which they were sitting and shout out their mutual experiences on how to saw faster, and they hit the ground with a crash, and those who saw them shook their heads while sawing and carried on sawing" (Bertold Brecht)
In modern debate, the role of technologies in bringing about transformations into our present is widely recognised: material conditions of everyday life, political and social relations, cultural exchanges between different subjects and contexts -- they are all simultaneously structured and de-structured as a consequence of the massive introduction of variable instruments and media. The deep involvement of the institutions working in the different fields of contemporary art becomes thus evident. The challenge is a major one, as it concerns above all the possibilities of spreading and circulation offered by technology (thus possibilities which involve creation, use, preservation) and, more in general, the visions which can make a cultural medium relevant and devastating in a media-saturated world!

CULTURAL DIVERSITY / MAPPING AND NETWORKING
"A landscape is made up of processes more than of places. The true essence of the landscape entails interaction and integration" Frederick Steiner
New media art is the expression used to define works which are created, related and, however, used through innovative and unstable technologies since the mid- 20th century. The disciplines usually included in the expression new media art are: cell phone art, computer art, digital art, electronic art, finance art, generative art, hacktivism, information art, interactive art, performance art, robotic art, software art, sound art, video art, video game art.

KNOW - HOW / SHARING KNOW-HOW
"Latent meaning becomes the expression of a more general cultural and cognitive process, in which objects gain significance through the association with know-how rather than with sensitivity" Masao Yamaguchi
Even art expressions give rise to aesthetic forms which can be referred to the potential and varieties of the so-called new media. As in a response to these transformations, the very approach to art history and criticism changes due to the appearance of new forms of 'global and cyberspace culture' and to the impact of digital media on the very concept of intellectual property. The whole range of art expressions identified by the new media is among those effects of technological innovation which is based on the application of contemporary scientific research.

After its successful debut in 2006, the second edition of the STRP Festival will now take place from November 22 through November 25 in the Klokgebouw in Eindhoven. The STRP Festival is one of the largest art & technology festivals in Europe, presenting a four-day multidisciplinary programme with more than 120 artworks, performances, and artists.

The extensive exhibition of robotics and interactive art challenges the visitors to undertake their own explorations. The works range from small, subtle, and poetic to awesome and overwhelming. The interactive nature of the works in particular investigates the increasingly vague boundary between technology, humankind, and art, and often leads to wonderfull experiences.

The music program brings electronic music stars like The Chemical Brothers and Roisin Murphy but also a full range of more experimental performances and Live Cinema shows.

See www.strp.nl for the full programme.
