Architectural Scenographics YUKIJUNG Research Yukijung (artist name) = Christine Jung After several years of working in Paris as a fashion designer and art coordinator, Create Berlin member Christine Jung founded the YUKIJUNG Research design studio in 2006. Much of the work carried out by YUKIJUNG involves brings historic buildings and their gardens to the forefront of attention. YUKIJUNG specializes in fa√ßade projections and creating night-time audio-visual experiences involving the combination of self-composed sound effects, lighting installations and modern video large-scale projections. In addition to this, YUKIJUNG designs and implements stage scenery, videoclips, videomappings and videolivesets for all types of events. Primarily YUKIJUNG is working with After Effects, Premiere Pro, Modul 8 and Madmapper. YUKIJUNG will give first a short introduction to her design studio that is mainly working in the field of historical events. Than she will explain in sharing her know-how with the audience through two projects the conceptual approach in planning an architectural multimedia scenography: the multimedia tour through history ÄûPromenades sous les √©toilesÄú in the gardens of the Royal Castle of Amboise, Loire Valley, France and the multimedia stage scenery ÄûHappy Birthday FriedrichÄú at the Nikolaisaal Potsdam. http://www.yukijung.com" https://vimeo.com/41254486

Artificial rat Ioann Maria Ioann Maria New media artist / live video performer / filmmaker. With her background in multimedia and digital arts she now works with new media technologies and interactive arts, exploring new possibilities in creative artistic-scientific demonstration. In her recent solo and collaborative projects she investigates the issues of physical computing and human-machine interaction. Besides sheÄôs an artistic director of "LPM Live Performers Meeting", the worldÄôs biggest annual meeting dedicated to live video performance, a core member of the "FLxER" team - performing video network and software, co-founder of "Edinburgh Hacklab" hackerspace in Scotland. Keywords: biofeedback, data visualization, human-machine interaction, installation, manipulation, robotics, Artificial Rat Project ÄúArtificial ratÄù is a work in progress open for interdisciplinary collaboration. The Artificial Rat Project aims to investigate the nature of human-machine relationship, provoking an interaction between the two. In the closed installation space, human will be forced to interact with the ÄúanimalÄù. The ÄúratÄù is a programmed mechanism emulating the physical animal in its behaviour. It has been noted that people tend to react emotionally to the machines and refer to the computers using the vocabulary of human psychology to describe the performance of the machine, even though they are able to clearly distinguish between the 'real' and 'artificial'. In the course of this project, such strong emotional reactions of humans to the machines, will be examined. The artificial rat should appear to respond to human emotional states, and hence the biofeedback technology will be employed for the reactions measurement. Changes in emotional state of human participants will be used as an input for the rat, thus enabling a response. The responses of each participant will be visualized and compared in real time. There are two main quests of this project: - technical: building a machine that is as close to the real animal as possible, in both appearance and behaviour; - socio-psychological: provoking an interaction between the machine and human, which results in humanÄôs emotional involvement. http://ioannmaria.com/ Will be emailed tonight https://vimeo.com/41258573

THE FLAW IS OUR PLAN / real time forms are rich only if they are rich in flaws subtitle: the erasers work in real time audiovisual performance The Erasers giorgos kakanakis The Erasers is a group whose work is based on the integration of various seemingly diverse elements/modes of (re) presentation such as: live cinema, performance, action-ism, installation techniques, theater, agit-prop, and various forms of information and disinformation. The combination of these diverse elements is based on The ErasersÄô search for a new Audio Visual Alphabet. Giorgos kakanakis is the founding member of the erasers. THE FLAW IS OUR PLAN / real time forms are rich only if they are rich in flaws subtitle: the erasers work in real time audiovisual performance = a 30 minute fragmented dialogue based on the following parts: _a non linear presentation of the erasers work _a discussion on the possibilities of live cinema/real time film _moments of propaganda and other moments of image harassment _spontaneous debates on MEANING (as opposed to abstract image production) _a disassembling of VJ culture * and detours thru the following phrases/statements: AN END TO COMMUNICATION THAT COMMUNICATES NOTHING BUT ITSELF WE CONSPIRE AGAINST OURSELVES YOUR CHILDREN ARE BEING RAISED BY SNITCHES THE FLAW IS OUR PLAN WE ARE UNCONTROLLED SUBSTANCES A TIME OF AMBIENT FEAR ITS NOT A JUST IMAGE, ITS JUST AN IMAGE IS IT LIVE OR IS IT MEMOREX ?
