8 BIT in Australia

8 BIT made it around the world all the way to Australia! Last Thursday, April 24th we premiered at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne. It was well worth the 24 hour trip: 8 BIT sold out and ACMI turned out to be an excellent venue, up there with the NYC MoMa and Montreal S.A.T. The screening was a part of "Game On", a massive exhibition about the history of video gaming, featuring every game I have ever seen + some brand new machinima by Eddo Stern.

I was super excited to meet the few Australian chiptune people: DJ Trip opened the event with an awesome 30 minutes Commodore/Gameboy + PC set, and the after party was quite successfully rocked out by 10kfreemen and Dot.Ay.

Huge thanks go to Tim Webster (the organizer), Anna Svedberg, Helen Stuckey and the entire ACMI crew, which made my week in Melbourne truly special!

And last but not the least: my Melbourne micro-video documentary;)

Flint Weisser: magnetic fields @ Pratt gallery

magnetic field drawing
Flint Weisser

Steuben South Gallery C.
Pratt Institute, 200 Willoughby Ave., Brooklyn NY

The show features victorian scientific equipment, and drawings created by
manipulating magnetic fields.  Heres a couple of shots from opening night. . .
The exhibition closes on Friday, the gallery is open from noon to five. 

The crookes tube, is a type of early cathode ray, the precursor to tv,
neon, and xray. It's a spark gap with the resistance of air being
decreased by applying a vacuum. This causes the glass to glow.
With the static generator, turning the handle causes the acrylic
cylinder to rub on the rabbit fur which creates a static charge. The
ball chain lifts the charge and transfers it to the leyden jar. Leyden
jars are like capacitors, positive on the inside, negative on the outside.

Pace Digital Gallery hosts Programmable Media 2: Networked Music

Programmable Media II: Networked Music, a one-day symposium examining the current and future possibilities of network-enabled music, will be held on April 11, 2008 at Pace University, NYC. The symposium is free and open to the public, and will include artist presentations and live performances. More info, including directions and Artist bios at Pace Digital Gallery website.

Based on the rapidly expanding archive of music/sound experiments to be found on Networked Music Review and the fifteen short works recently commissioned for it, the symposium aims to stimulate critical and far-ranging discussion on emerging music and sound art practice.

To register, email turbulence at turbulence dot org with "Programmable Media II" as the subject.

Symposium Program

Date: Friday April 11, 2008
Venue: The Multipurpose Room, 1 Pace Plaza, Pace University

10:00 am – 10:45 am: Introduction by Helen Thorington and Peter Traub

Thorington and Traub will set the groundwork for the conference by introducing a variety of recent works from Networked Music Review and discussing the history, ideas, tools, and theory behind today’s creative practice.

11:00 am – 1:00 pm: Round-table discussion

Panelists: Dan Trueman, Peter Traub, Zach Layton, Sawako Kato, Jason Freeman (moderator)

Panelists will be given 5-10 minutes to make a basic statement about their work. The discussion will center on the significance of networks and whether they – and the collective behaviors of their machine or human nodes – can form the basis of compelling musical experiences.

1:00 pm – 2:30 pm: LUNCH

2:30 Performances
Jason Freeman with Andrew Beck and Mark T. Godfrey, "Flou"
Tobias c van Veen, " til death do us a part"

Panelists: LoVid, Tobias C. Van Veen, Adam Nash, Helen Thorington (moderator)

Panelists will be given 5-10 minutes to make a basic statement about their work. Discussion will continue with emphasis on cross-over works (music w/images, text, video, video games etc.). Nash will speak to the symposium from Second Life, which he calls a “post-convergent medium.”

Short performances by Jason Freeman with Andrew Beck and Mark T. Godfrey and Tobias C. Van Veen will be given during the course of the symposium.

Eddo Stern: QQ More @ Light Industry

QQ More

curated by Eddo Stern

April 8, 2008 at 8pm
55 33rd Street, 3rd Floor
Brooklyn, NY
http://www.lightindustry.org/

Artist Eddo Stern presents a screening of fan-made machinima from the
massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft, focusing on videos that
operate outside the traditional reverence of fan art and the game world's
own parameters, such as those dealing with real-life death, pornography, and
drugs. While only dubiously subversive, they nevertheless reflect a
compelling phenomenon, one in which a more hermetic idea of "fantasy"
as
cordoned-off reality (seen in hardcore role playing) is being replaced by
pseudo-fantasy genre games like WoW that spill over into the real world, and
vice versa, through the homebrew manipulations of its multitudinous fan
base.

Featured titles, among others, will include:

Rest in Peace Ignoramus
Amongst Fables and Men
Serenity Now
Drakedog's Suicide
Where Evil Grows
Welcome to Exploration (DOPEFISH)
Sex Junkie (French)
Broadcast Yourself (Gunter Soundtrack)
Wowsexual
Tribal Gnome

Stern will also be showing his recent video Best... Flame War... Ever...
(King of Bards vs. Squire Rex, June 2004), which recreates an argument about
degrees of expertise within the computer fantasy game Everquest, as followed
by the artist in June 2004 on the Alkhazam online gaming message boards.
Rendered in 3D animation at once elaborate and oblique, it serves as a
spot-on ethnography for a particular slice of 21st century nerd culture and
the thorny political terrain that surrounds it.

Followed by a post-show discussion between Stern and Alexander R. Galloway.

Tickets - $6, available at door.


About Eddo Stern

Eddo Stern is an artist and game designer. He was born in Tel Aviv, Israel,
and lives in Los Angeles. He works on the disputed borderlands between
fantasy and reality, exploring the uneasy and otherwise unconscious
connections between physical existence and electronic simulation. His work
explores new modes for narrative and documentary, experimental and
multidisciplinary computer game design, and cross-cultural representation in
new media. He is the founder of the now-retired art and technology
cooperative C-level, where he designed and co-produced the experimental
computer gaming projects Waco Resurrection, Tekken Torture Tournament,
Cockfight Arena and LA MOOd. He is currently developing Darkgame, a sensory
deprivation computer game. His work has been widely exhibited at
international venues including the Tate Gallery Liverpool, the Walker Art
Center, Museo Nacional Centro De Arte Reina Sofia, E3, GDC, Kunsthalle
Düsseldorf, the ICA London, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, ICC Tokyo,

and the Art Gallery of Ontario.

About Light Industry

Light Industry is a new venue for film and electronic art in Brooklyn, New
York. Developed and overseen by Thomas Beard and Ed Halter, the project will
begin as a series of weekly events in Sunset Park this spring and summer,
each organized by a different artist, critic, or curator. Conceptually,
Light Industry draws equal inspiration from the long history of alternative
art spaces in New York as well its storied tradition of cinematheques and
other intrepid film exhibitors. Through a regular program of screenings,
performances, and lectures, its goal is to explore new models for the
presentation of time-based media and foster a complex dialogue amongst a
wide range of artists and audiences within the city.
