"title":"Paradigm Shift: Contemporary Spaces for Sound, Immersive Art, and Electronic Music Culture.",
"description":"Immersive art and electronic music have emerged as interrelated forms in the public awareness, while ways in which they are presented together are rapidly evolving. Increasing numbers of artistic works, exhibitions and installations can be found on display in traditional art spaces. This is made possible, in part, by growing support and acceptance from a wide range of galleries, museums and institutions, while technological developments in this area combined with creative thinking are leading to new initiatives. This suggests a widespread interest in the field and increased adoption by formerly silent and motionless physical spaces to foster new experiences of sound, immersive art, and electronic music. Encouraging this paradigm shift stands as one of several causes the Institute for Sound and Music e.V has dedicated itself. The ISM Hexadome is an example, presented as an immersive 360° audiovisual installation combining art and technology. It is the first step in the Institute for Sound & Music’s initiative to redefine the museum experience. The ‘Klangdom’, an advanced multichannel speaker configuration created by ZKM | Institute for Music and Acoustics is hosted within with a visual projection architecture designed by digital media studio, Pfadfinderei . The Hexadome will premiere at the Martin Gropius Bau in Berlin, March 2018, where 9 audiovisual works from international artists will be commissioned and presented, before travelling throughout Europe and North America.",

Special offer - only until tomorrow! A lifestyle mix of greed and wastefulness. Physical presence is increasingly unnecessary, but even so there still is a lack of time. Since beginning of the human, the goal is to overcome time, immortality. Mechanic replacement parts of the body are already a reality, the upload of consciousness is part of the research currently done. The one thing being lost nowadays is loss itself, because everything has a digital footprint. It seems we have overcome time without having had a fullfilled experience of it.

"description":"We live in an era of pervasive data trails and generalised, automated surveillance. In one sense, an Orwellian vision of total control is becoming real, but perhaps not as we might have imagined. It has instead been partly realised as a strange outgrowth of consumer choice. Most recently, we can now choose to have a smart home device (such as the Amazon Echo or Google Home) as a modern convenience — a computer in a tube that lives in our homes and helps us, but that also listens to everything we do, forever. In this newly-emergent reality, what kind of artistic strategies might be worth pursuing? Is self-surveillance (sousveillance) a method of reacting to, or transforming, the habits and culture of this strange new era? We would like to tease out some of these ideas, in part by discussing some recent artistic projects which work with ideas of self-observation, repetition, instability in the role of participant and observer, indexing, and extended duration.",
"description":"Humans are spatial creatures. We evolved to navigate complex environments and manipulate three dimensional objects. Yet our digital lives today are mostly confined to the thin rectangular space of a screen. We live in Flatland. Not only do touch screens restrict our hands to a form of glorified finger painting, but interactive systems in general haven’t made great use of our abilities for spatial reasoning and situation awareness. That is until now… Recent trends in augmented reality, connected objects, wearables electronics, and virtual assistants among others, show that technology is in the process of becoming increasingly distributed, spatial, embedded, and if we may say 'ubiquitous'. Our physical world is merging with the virtual in new and unexpected ways. The future will be a complex layer cake of digital and physical elements rolled into one continuous connected experience; a world in which matter is programmable and computation is a construction material. What creative possibilities does ambient technology offer for artists and designers? ",

"title":"The World's Most Obsolete Portable Drum Machine",
"description":"A listening session and Sample Salon with the Wurlitzer Sideman 5000 and Darsha Hewitt Manufactured in 1959 and often referred to as the cadillac of drum machines, the Wurlitzer Sideman 5000 is the world's oldest commercially available rhythm generator. Weighing in at 25 kg, this electromechanical vacuum tube operated instrument was revolutionary, allowing musicians to integrate a portable, non-human rhythm section into their performance. Although this machine is quite heavy and unwieldy in comparison to what DJs and electronic musicians carry to gigs today, it is a historically significant machine in the evolution towards portable electronic-music production. Though highly technically complex and completely obsolete Darsha Hewitt revived this machine and produced the first ever comprehensive technical documentation of the Sideman for the internet. The videos are technically rigorous yet framed as a beginner-friendly media archeological investigation into the world of electronics. The artist will conduct a demonstration/listening session with the machine and wire it up so that people can record samples of old fashion electronic ballroom dance sequences and mid-twentieth century machine noise.",

Besides the silver screen, conceptual, as well as real visual projection surfaces include architectural and sculptural forms. The material for these medial interlacings frequently originates in nature and in the abstract gaze of science on nature, for example in the form of MRI images. Through subsequent deconstruction with digital tools, it becomes possible – before the eyes of the recipient – to condense these structures into a rhizomatic memory structure independent from physical space and linear time. The filmic image conserves the whole creation process in abstract-organic tableaux vivants. In the process, temporal sequences or movements become not only imagined – as frequently attempted in the history of drawing and painting – but actually represented.",

"description":"Berlin based Austrian artist Wolfgang Spahn introduces the analogue aesthetics and techniques that lay at the core of most of his multimedia installations. Starting in the 1990s with modifications of the classic photo slide Spahn decided to stretch the boundaries of slide projections by adding coloured liquids, using magnetic coils or merging sound and visuals. For the installation 'Pictures at an Exhibition', which is an homage to M. P. Mussorgsky, Spahn developed the 'Picture Disc', a transparent miniature picture based on chemical-magnetic experiments with liquid iron. Spahn's aesthetical approach focusses on the idea that analogue slide projections allow for uncovering (almost) invisible pictures that may even be performatively created in the very moment of their presentation. Also, by filming the slide projectors, amplifying their sound and implementing both aspects in his installations he visualises the importance of the machine as an integral part of the art – an artistic reference to Vilem Flussser's concept of the 'apparatus'. ",
"description":"There is a tendency in art and technology artworks to equate the artistic value of an artwork with its level of displayed beauty and uncritical engagement. This implies discarding the political aspects that are implicit to art and technology; it means to isolate artistic practice in a limbo of disillusionment.

"description":"Based on amateur and family film archives from the 1920's to present times, Intruders is an audio- visual memory remix of anonymous stories and portraits, a dancing conversation with our own ghosts. Attracted by nostalgia and voyeurism, we are led into a time travel in which we are increasingly followed by familiar, suspicious and curious glances of unknown human figures, seeking our attention in the present time. Intruding our collective memory, the pictures use their own history to feed our inner emotions and internalised fictions. Intruders is co-produced by the video art residency Bandits-Mages and the national French archive Centre CICLIC. Inspired by 4000 watched films and 26 hours of collected archive footage, Intruders is an unique contemporary historical document with more than 2000 live sampled and manipulated audio and video sequences. Dealing with collective memory as well as the intimacy and transience of being, the actuality of this audiovisual performance seems to be timeless in today's interconnected media society, which produces permanently archives.

"description":"I will present my artwork related to the environment, more specifically to the sea of my surroundings. It's a mixture of formats: photo exhibition, interactive installation, DIY sensors, data visualization, video art, VJing, databending and web art, all having the same source, the sea and its underwater world. Some of the works are collective, developed at Ecoarte - a research group I coordinate at UFBA, Bahia, Brazil. Others are more introspective solo work, dealing with subjective issues of the sea. It is about disturbance, disruption, sensing and perceiving nature but also being entrapped by it. At the same time, art and science blend, in an attempt to create an intimate science.",
"title":"Performance Dance and Film improvisation Super 8 and Butoh dance",
"description":"'Dance with Film' An improvised meeting of Butoh dance and hand-made Single 8 films of Butoh dance. Butoh is a journey to the Self. In this performance we explore existence and feeling beyond the mirage of film. There is no beginning and no ending.",
"description":"My work stems from interest in the effects of time on matter: modification, deterioration and disappearance. Whether the focus is on digital forms or rough materials, large scales of time or microscopic details, the goal of my work is to re-adapt existing objects and materials into parallel contexts where their signified meanings, symbols and cultural connections have become residual ghosts. I like to imagine false paradigms, inexistent branches of research and fictional sciences in order to create unrealistic questionings as a basis for a new work. Form emerges through a process of collecting, filtering and combining phenomena (objects, data, sounds, images) that is linked to the conjecture. There are explorations and structures in this 'research' but no conclusions, except the ones you make.",
"description":"In the past few years we’ve been eagerly working on a complete rewrite of vvvv which lead to a new visual programming language in combination with a development and runtime environment.

"title":"Privacy and online freedom of expression.",
"description":"This Session will attempt an open discussion that addresses issues of privacy and online freedom of expression. We want to discuss if and why privacy matters. How does that relate to contemporary artists and the tools they (we) are using? Is there a space for a political statement? How much strength does artistic expression have in the cyberworld? What are the chances and responsibilities of artists confronted with the omnipresent power- and control-structures in the wake of the revelations of Edward Snowden and other whistleblowers.",
"description":"Kevin Rice, a member of Process Reversal, will be presenting on behalf of the collective. He is a self described ‘film archivist’ whose practice focuses on the study of photochemical theories, the development of lab resources for filmmakers, and the documentation of various darkroom odysseys on motion picture film.The talk will expose his perspectives on contemporary film practices today, as well as the artist run film lab community, by discussing the formation, development, and infinite struggles of their collective, Process Reversal.

"title":"Probing the Past: A Media Archaeology of Handmade Electronic Sound",
"description":"The utopias of electronic sound have hardly changed in its hundred-year history. We still want to imitate existing instruments, create sounds which have never been heard before and realize complex compositions without the need of an orchestra. It is only the tools which have become more complex. But there are dystopias as well, which come especially from using tools designed around other people’s way of creating sound, rather than your own. Instrument builder, teacher and performer Derek Holzer of Macumbista.net will discuss the inspiration of some of the pioneers of 20th Century electronic sound as springboards to some of his own creations, which the audience will have a chance to explore following the talk.",
"description":"The talk will focus on how art and science are moving towards one another. It should not be forgotten that both have always been characterised by creative and imaginative processes. Many artist have found their inspiration by the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. Today, new media artist are working on novel ways of scientific communication, searching for the aesthetics on research data and experimenting with new scientific tools. Anyway, who doesn’t take a look at the universe, with its sublime and redemptive quality? It makes us all feel small but peaceful.",

The use of open source technologies expertise and knowledge share has enhanced the scene of creators and artists looking to use alternative tools for creation of locative and or gesture based media.",
"title":"From a visual journey into another dimension.",
"description":"After introducing themselves and their work, they will focus on the problems for media artists to be part of the traditional gallery-marked in the art business. Even so a lot of Art projects, which use modern technology and try to bring it into a different not consumer-based context, are quite successful, a lot of them are being displayed only in festivals or as digital copies in the internet, rather then being shown in privat galleries. This implements that the creators make a living either from grants, teaching, very small fees or they finance their free art work with client-based commissions. The reasons for this are manifold. A lot of projects are technical experiments on a larger scale, which can hardly be sold as an peace of art that the client could simply place or even hang in his home. Another reason is the fact that a lot of Media Artists rather work on a very conceptual level, creating work that is either only excisting in digital form,very much created for certain spaces or react to certain appearings of modern society. So whenever you would take this projects out of their context they would not make any sense at all.",
"title":"How to have fun with a six channel guitar pckup",
"description":"Puckette demonstrates what happens when you put individual pickup coils on each string of your guitar, opening up a wide range of sonic possibilities beyond what you can get out of an ordinary pickup. Techniques like filtering and distortion can be applied to the signals before they're mixed. This makes it possible to get results that are both rich sounding and precisely controllable. The software to do this is open source, free to download.",

"title":"VGA-Hacking or Materiality in a Digital World",
"description":"Name Yun Pike is known for manipulating a TV set with a magnet. One might think that after we abandoned monitor tubes the combination of TV and magnetism is gone as well. But similar is still possible today by manipulating the monitor signal. The fact that VGA is a signal based on electric current allows for hacking. One can manipulate it with coils and magnetic fields. The signal being similiar to sound signals makes for an easy transfer to sound and vice versa. Wolfgang Spahn uses these possibilities in his artwork and media performances in order to merge sound and visuals. Digital is not always virtual. It is sometimes real, too.",
"title":"Making the Picture of the Early Universe",

"description":"'This project will be the master thesis for my studies at the Bauhaus University Weimar. Since I’m a synesthete myself, synesthesia is a topic that is present in my life for many years. The idea of involving this topic into my work first came to my mind about three years ago. It developed and grew over the years and finally I will have the opportunity to realise it. Synesthesia isn’t just one weird way of seeing, hearing or smelling the world around us. Every synesthete has his very own way of experiencing a colourful or somehow exciting world. This is the point where my project focuses on. The diversity of experiencing synesthesia. To show this diversity I want to initiate a varity of works. I want to bring together a bunch of artist (preferably non-synesthetes) with synesthetes. The output can be any kind of artwork or media installation visualising a very specific and subjective version of synesthesia. The process of working together will bring up many questions. Questions that can lead to anwsers presented to the visitors or questions raised and still left unanswered to the public.'",
"description":"Developer Sébastien Bourdeauducq will present the The Milkymist One, an open hardware product that concentrates all the processing power and the interfaces of an heavily interactive VJ setup into one small box. With a unique combination of built-in interfaces such as MIDI, DMX512, analogue video input, Ethernet, OpenSoundControl and generic digital I/O, it gives you all the tools to create truly interactive performances.",
"description":"VisualBerlin management board member Aude François and co-founder Kiritan Flux will present Berlin’s number one video-arts and VJ association VisualBerlin, how it all started in 2005 and what it has developed to today. Members and projects will be presented and people will have the chance to ask questions about the association.",
"description":"This session, we’ll welcome Alex Corbi who will show us his work under Arduino and Processing. He will start simple, and then more complex. After his presentation, we can get to the computers, and try, share, get started, ask questions, manipulate a bit, have a look over the functions and possibilities :-) Of course, Arduino and Processing users from all levels are all invited to come, and to come also with their computer and software installed, so that we can all exchange, see, even when we’re specialists of another software on another platform, or not specialists at all. 3 to 4 computers in total would allow 3 to 4 groups of 3 to 5 persons, perhaps self-organised by level or software.",
"description":"Mauritius Seeger, VJ, digital artist and programmer will talk about how specialised software can be used to build engaging and responsive artworks and installations. Mostly using examples from his own work he will present the challenges and solutions encountered when trying to make interactive software and hardware. The talk will concentrate the topics of optical sensing – computer vision, tracking and 3D imaging – as well as graphics algorithms, high dynamic range imaging and time-lapse photography.",
"description":"Mirae Rosner and Jesse Scott of the Berlin cell of GRL talked about past and ongoing projects in Berlin, built “LED throwies” together with the audience and brought their “BlitzTag” installation to play with.",
"description":"David Croft will be introducing a project to create a wall art installation that dynamically and fluidly interacts with the viewers by monitoring the position of their bodies to give a natural-feeling experience. He’ll describe the theory behind the hardware, give an overview of the software, and introduce the open source toolkit he’s releasing to allow visual artists to develop their own projects using Processing.",
"description":"Movement and Video Artist Eric Dunlap will discuss his work creating dance and video pieces, producing VJs, and construction audience interactive video installations. ",
"description":"In anticipation of the retirement of this media Ilan presented each piece of media and in the process of doing so talked about his approach to creating and performing with the material as well as reflected on his thoughts about live video performance in general.",
"description":"Australian designer and artist Arran Hearn showcased his video-mapping work titled “isometric cubes” and Julien Bach of Atelier Überall presented a whole workflow for mapping onto them, with both 2D & 3D templates.",
"description":"Aude Françoise video artist working on a project of argentic black and white fotography with long exposure, exploring the metamorphosis of the body acting with white elements…",
"description":"Media artist and programmer David Szauder aka. pixelnoizz presented his QuartzComposer based tool “get control”. This was the first public presentation of the software as proof of concept that will show live video sequencing and frame manipulation with a drawing tablet and further aspects (live effecting, glitching and more).",
