I regard this project on the theme of [the horizontal side on consciousness] as very significant.I think that this project also has the very Japanese side or style. Nomura's lead sentence is shown below for details. - ------------------ "Tokyo ground" Tokyo is located in the largest gently-sloping Kanto plain in Japan, and, generally is called superficial metropolis. however, if you are actually living in Tokyo, don't think at all that this is a gently-sloping place, but foresee the complicated whole rather -- doesn't it sense that it is the environment which is not? Why has gap arisen by reality and feelings in this way? Let's observe Tokyo not through a plane but through a section. There, it is various underground space besides a terrestrial structure. And the earth surface in Tokyo exists so that underground may be separated from the ground. This earth surface is defined socially and in culture, and will be caught also from the position of the ground or underground. However, is hardly a citizen conscious about this defined earth surface, and defined ground and underground? Because, it moves, and if it notices, its present locations are the ground and underground between when. And differing from defined them often even has above all the grasp of the ground and underground carried out based on sense. After looking at Tokyo from the section, we came to be conscious about the gap of reality and feelings all the more. The "Tokyo ground" carries out the visualization of the earth surface caught in the image different from defined earth surface. That is, "imaginal / cognitive geography". In manufacturing this cognitive map, We investigated first the "Ground-underground" which is underground which can be grasped as the ground, and the "Underground-ground" which is the ground which can be grasped as underground. Next, another earth surface in Tokyo was knit by connecting the new ground level re-extracted from each. The fieldwork in Tokyo suffers troubles. When it says repeatedly, It is because it is hard to grasp a whole image. However, nevertheless, it is also clear to be respectively caught as feelings from two or more viewpoints. The viewpoint of a total 55 was mapped in the "Tokyo ground." Please remember that literary-man Italo Calvino of Italy described many 55 views of city with rich imaginative power once by his work "le citta invisibili". That is, we became the traveler who observes the mysterious realm of Tokyo in detail. * We have noticed soon that Tokyo is not flat at all through the "Tokyo ground." That is, Tokyo located in the largest gently-sloping Kanto plain in Japan was a ground level in Japan with the ups and downs most intense as a matter of fact.

The installation focuses on human communication and the tensions and overlap between physical and virtual spaces, physical non-action versus virtual action, and the interplay between watching and being watched. Inside a room 8 loudspeakers emit a computer-generated multi-vocal conversation. The moment someone enters the room, sensors register movement and cause the voices to abruptly break off. This sudden entry is viewed as an intrusion on the conversation, and the latter will only resume when either everyone has left the room or remains completely motionless as a group. Web users can control 6 surveillance cameras and switch between different angles in order to follow the behaviour of the visitors. These video "cuts" are immediately projected on a screen outside of the room, and figure as direct testimonies of the clicking behaviour of the users. In addition, the exhibition visitors can be addressed via the loudspeakers through a chatbox with speechsynthesis on: www.v2.nl/lahr Producers: V2_Organisatie (part of Las Palmas), Eendrachtsstraat 10, 3012 XL Rotterdam and Goethe-Institut Inter Nationes Rotterdam, Westersingel 9, 3014 GM Rotterdam.

Eroffnung: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 7. 9.2001, 19 - 23 Uhr +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Locomotion - Bewegungsdarstellung in Zeit und Raum Drei interaktive Installationen und Fotografie Mit Andreas Siefert, Stabile Seitenlage, Christian Ziegler und Eadward Muybridge 8. September bis 7. Oktober 2001 Offnungszeiten: Di - So 13 -19 Uhr Bewegung, Koerper, Zeit und Raum - das sind die Koordinaten dieser Ausstellung. Der Titel "Locomotion" (engl. = "Bewegung von einem Ort zum anderen") stellt bewu?t die Referenz zu dem Pionier der Bewegungsdarstellung her, dem in England geborenen, kalifornischen Fotografen Eadward Muybridge (1830-1904). Seine Momentaufnahmen zeigen Menschen und Tiere in verschiedenen Bewegungsphasen, aufgeschluesselt innerhalb verschiedener Zeitintervalle. Fuer die Ausstellung wurden Abzuege aus dem Album "Animals in Motion" (1887), "Animal Locomotion" (1887) und "The Human Figure in Motion" (1887) ausgewaehlt. Das neue Medium Fotografie mit den geradezu wissenschaftlich angelegten Studien ermoeglichte es erstmals, aus einer linearen oder zyklischen Bewegung eine exakt festgelegte zeitliche Sequenz zu erhalten. Die in der Ausstellung vertretenen zeitgenossischen Positionen hingegen nahern sich dem Thema mit aktuellsten technischen Moglichkeiten und begreifen unsere Wahrnehmung als dehn- und veranderbare Matrix. Andreas Siefert (Karlsruhe, geb. 1976) thematisiert mit seiner interaktiven Installation "dropshadow" die Dimension des Schattens. Beim Betreten eines abgetrennten Raumes wird der Schatten, den eine Person an die Wand wirft, eingefroren und verharrt als Bild an der Wand. Die echte Silhouette bewegt sich mit den Bewegungen der Person mit, die festgehaltene jedoch bleibt stehen. Nach kurzer Zeit veraendert sich diese in nicht vorhersehbarer Art und wird von den Schatten anderer Besucher uberlagert. Das Speichern der Umrisse von Menschen, die sich als digitale Spuren materialisieren, kann auch als Mittel der Ueberwachungstechnologie angesehen werden. Der Schatten eines Menschen ist Teil seiner Person, obwohl er nicht Teil des Korpers ist. Er ist jedoch nicht greifbar, nicht materiell, besitzt keine Oberflaeche, keine Farbe, kein Volumen. Trotzdem ist er unweigerlich an den Menschen gebunden. Andreas Siefert loest mit "dropshadow" den Schatten von der Person und verschiebt ihn in einen Bereich jenseits der Realiaet. Die Videoinstallation "teil" der Kunstlergruppe Stabile Seitenlage (Achim John, geb. 1973; Baste Schmidt, geb. 1973; Heiko Stueckle, geb. 1974; Jan Rinkens, geb. 1974, Multimedia-Studenten der FH Augsburg in Kooperation mit Yasmine Bechmann und Jens Pfau) ist ein interaktives Wahrnehmungsexperiment, das in zwei separaten, in die Ausstellung eingebauten Raeumen stattfindet. Der zur Aktion aufgeforderte Besucher in dem einen Raum erzeugt eine Pro jektion, die in die unbewegte Silhouette einer Person in dem anderen Raum hineinprojiziert wird. Die Zusammenfuhrung der kontraeren Zustande von Statik und Dynamik in einer Projektion ermoeglicht dem Besucher gleichzeitig eine Beobachtung der eigenen Person sowie die visuelle Kommunikation mit den projizierten Personen im anderen Raum. Die Aufloesung der klassischen Interface-Struktur schafft hierbei eine Situation, die den Beobachter in die simulierte, mediale und gleichzeitig physisch erlebbare Welt eintauchen lae?t. Im Spannungsfeld von Tanz und Technologie und als Teil eines Zyklus von Arbeiten ist die Installation "scanned IV" von Christian Ziegler (Karlsruhe/Muenchen, geb. 1963) entstanden. Wahrend seiner Arbeit an der CD-ROM "William Forsythe: Improvisation Technologies" inspirierte ihn besonders das Thema der Organisation von Raum und Zeit. Der Besucher kann in der Ausstellung vor der Kamera seine eigene Koerperintelligenz testen: Eine horizontale und eine vertikale Scan-Linie tastet staendig den Raum vor der Kamera ab. Diese kontinuierlich sich veraendernden Scans werden in Echtzeit projiziert. Durch die Ueberlagerung von realer Zeit und komprimierter Zeit entsteht ein n-dimensionaler Raum, in dem sich ein visueller Dialog zwischen der Bewegung der Besucher und dem Life-Sampling entspinnt. In die Projektion der zuruckliegenden Bewegungsbilder wird eine neue Bewegung eingeschrieben und wiederum gescannt. Die Verbindung der Live-Bewegungen erfolgt visuell in zeitlicher Schichtung. Daraus entsteht eine Art technischer Spiegel von Bewegung, gleichzeitig ist die Bewegung Rohstoff des bildnerischen Prozesses (produziert am ZKM | Karlsruhe, Programmierung: Christian Ziegler und Todd Ingalls). Zusaetzliche Oeffnungszeiten zur Open Art: Freitag, 14. September bis 21 Uhr, Samstag, 15. September und Sonntag, 16. September ab 11 Uhr. Fuehrungen am 16. und 30. September jeweils um 17 Uhr sowie nach Vereinbarung. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ----------------------- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Opening: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 7. 9.2001, 7.00 p.m. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Locomotion - movement performance in time and space Interactive installations and photography with Andreas Siefert, Stabile Seitenlage, Christian Ziegler and Eadward Muybridge 8. September to 7. October 2001 Opening hours : Tuesday to Sunday 1.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. Movement, bodies, time and space are the co-ordinates of this exhibition. The title "locomotion" is a deliberate reference to the pioneer of representation of movement, the english born, californian photographer Eadward Muybridge (1830-1904). His photographic images show human beings and animals in a kind of diagram of movement, using for the first time photo graphy as new media to illustrate a time interval. In the exhibition will be shown re-prints from the Albums "Animals in Motion" (1887), "Animal Locomotion" (1887) and "The Human Figure in Motion" (1887). However, the contemporary positions that have been selected for the exhibition approach the topic using the latest technical possibilities and comprehend our perception as a matrix that can be stretched and changed. In his interactive installation "dropshadow" Andreas Siefert (Karlsruhe, born 1976) takes as a theme the dimension of the shadow. Entering a room, a person's shadow is being frozen and remains as an image on the wall. The real silouette is moving with the person, the captured silouette however remains fixed. After a short while the latter starts to change in unpredictable ways and is being superimposed by the shadows of other visitors. Storing the outlines of a human being, materialised as digital traces, can be considered a means of surveillance technology. The shadow is part of a person, however it is not part of a person's body. It is neither tangible nor material, and does not have a surface, colour or volume. Nevertheless it is inevitably bound to the human being. With "dropshadow" a shadow is being detached from the person and shifted into a realm beyond reality. The artist's group Stabile Seitenlage (Achim John, Barcelona, born 1973; Baste Schmidt, Berlin, born 1973; Heiko Stueckle, Augsburg, born 1974; Jan Rinkens, Berlin, born 1974, students of multimedia studies at the FH Augsburg in co-operation with Yasmine Bechmann and Jens Pfau) is presenting their video installation "teil", an interactive experiment on perception taking place in two separate rooms within the exhibition space. In the first room the visitor will be asked to perform a movement that is projected in real time and superimposed with the motionless silouette of another visitor in the second room. Merging the opposite states of statics and dynamics within one projection enables the observation of one's own person as well as the visual communication with a projected person in another room. This disintegration of the classic interface structure creates a situation in which the observer gets immersed in a world that is simulated and characterised by media, but at the same time can be experienced physically. The installation "scanned IV" is part of a cycle of works by Christian Ziegler (Karlsruhe/Munchen, born 1963) that originate from his work with dance companies. During his work on the CD-ROM "William Forsythe: Improvisation Technologies" he felt inspired particularly by the topic of organisation of time and space. In the exhibition the v isitor can test his/her own body intelligence in front of a camera. A horizontal and a vertical scan-line search the space in front of that camera. These continually changing scan images are then being projected in real time. By superimposing real time and compressed time an n-dimensional space is generated, creating a visual dialogue between the movement of the visitor and the life-sampling. A new movement will be inscribed into the projection of the previous images which will then be scanned again. The live images are connected visually and chronologically. A technical mirror of movements has been generated, with the movement also being the raw material for the creative process. Additional opening hours for Open Art: Friday, 14. September until 9.00 p.m., Saturday, 15. September and Sunday, 16. September from 11.00 a.m. Guided tours on 16./ 30.

These artists, whose works are featured in the show, will also discuss the concepts involved with the intent and creation of their work. Started in 1993, the New York Digital Salon is one of the oldest digital art exhibitions and has helped lead the way to computer art's coming of age. In celebration of this achievement, The New York Digital Salon: Selected Works features the best works of computer art selected by the juries of the last eight New York Digital Salons. Curated by Bruce Wands, director, New York Digital Salon and chair, MFA Computer Art, School of Visual Arts, the exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Visual Art Foundation at The Corning Gallery. "The purpose of the New York Digital Salon," explained Wands, "is to provide an annual venue for the best international computer art. The exhibit represents art in all forms and includes the work of established artists, emerging artists and student work." This "best of the best" New York Digital Salon displays the work of artists from around the world whose work has appeared in at least one of the previous eight salons. The types of artwork include interactive installation, digitally animated films, CD-ROMs, websites, interactive sculptures, and digital prints. Bruce Wands, moderator of the lecture, is a digital artist/musician and chair of the MFA Computer Art Department and the director of Computer Education at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Time Out New York named Bruce as one of the "99 People to Watch in 1999." He is the author of Digital Creativity published by John Wiley & Sons, www.wiley.com/wands. He has lectured and exhibited his creative work internationally, including Europe, Japan, Hong Kong and Beijing, China. His computer art, photography, music and writing explore the invention of new forms of narrative and the relationship between visual art and music. Bruce was the first musician to perform live over ISDN lines on the Internet in 1992. As an independent producer, educational and corporate consultant, his clients have included AT&T, General Motors, Colgate Palmolive, Citibank, and the New York State Department of Education. He has a BA with honors from Lafayette College and an MS from Syracuse University, where he studied computer art and mass communication. Victor Acevedo is a digital artist working primarily in print and video.

The exhibition comprises six pieces that result from Sonnier's investigations into the work of Nikola Tesla during the period 1990-1997. The Tesla series "captures" raw electricity in its most spectacular form by stringing copper wires and causing the current to flow and spark between them. Keith Sonnier, born in Mamou, Louisiana, gained international recognition 30 years ago with his sculptures and installations using neon and argon lights. His most spectacular work in Europe is the one-kilometer long "Lichtweg," which runs the entire length of the Munich airport. Although neon and fluorescent light have been an important part of his artistic vocabulary, Sonnier's work distinguishes itself above all by the variety of materials used, and by its formal as well as thematic complexity. Beginning with his earliest explorations with light, sound, video, and live and taped broadcasts, Sonnier has engaged in a constant investigation into the process of exchange which constitutes communication. As early as 1975, he created a 2-way open channel performance event connecting New York and Los Angeles via NASA CTS satellite. He explores sometimes by redefining the functions of the transmitter/receiver, sometimes by indicating and reconfiguring elements of the process, but always with an awareness of the energy fields in which we live and maneuver. Selections of early video work will be presented as part of the exhibition, both on the Location One website and in the gallery. Keith Sonnier was among the first artists to incorporate technology into his work. By making the communication process an integral part of the art context, he forever changed the environment of contemporary art. Sonnier is a seminal figure at Location One, as our central purpose is to encourage artists from different media and different cultures to experiment with advanced technological tools and delivery systems. He continues to explore technology with the careful tenacity of a research scientist and the vision of a poet. "These are the perfect images of 'the medium as the message.'" Flash Light, 6/01/97 Location One (www.location1.org) is a new not-for profit art center, which fosters the convergence of all types of creative expression. We maintain a gallery space suitable for every form of performance and exhibition, and within this space, multimedia net-broadcasting facilities that allow us to webcast a 24-hour stream of both live and archived events. Our International Residency Program invites artists from other countries to experiment with emerging technologies. Location One is an exploration space for continual creative discovery. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 09:44:10 +0100 From: Simon Biggs <simon@littlepig.org.uk> Subject: Babel opening Babel by Simon Biggs An interactive immersive multi-user multi-projection online data navigator installation opens 20:00 Central European Time September 7 2001 at Kibela Gallery, Maribor, Slovenia www.babel.uk.net www.littlepig.org.uk www.kibla.org Simon Biggs simon@littlepig.org.uk http://www.littlepig.org.uk/ The Great Wall of China @ http://www.greatwall.org.uk/ Babel @ http://www.babel.uk.net/ Research Professor Art and Design Research Centre School of Cultural Studies Sheffield Hallam University Sheffield, UK http://www.shu.ac.uk/ ------------------------------ # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
