Audience >members can pump themselves up with coffee and donuts while artist Alex >Galloway discusses two of his interface art projects, "Starrynight" and >"Spiral," both of which creatively map the information in the Rhizome >archive at http://www.rhizome.org.

For information and reservations call 415 626 5416. > >Alex Galloway's "Starrynight" and "Spiral" appear as part of "Rhizome >Remix," an artist's series designed to creatively map the information in >the Rhizome online archive. Rhizome.org is a non-profit organization and >online magazine dedicated to fostering communication and community in the >field of new media art. Located at http://www.rhizome.org, the Rhizome >Artbase is an online archive of Internet art projects while the Rhizome >Contentbase archives related texts, such as articles, interviews, and >conversations. Together they function as a comprehensive resource for >information and critical writing about what's going on at the intersection >of emerging technology and contemporary art. The "Starrynight" browser >window is just that - a sky filled with stars, each representing an entry >in the Contentbase. The user clicks on a star and triggers a pop-up menu of >keywords that appear in the text entry. The user then chooses a keyword and >a constellation linking all of the stars with that word appears to help >guide him or her through the Contentbase by related texts. In this way, >navigating Rhizome's new media art archive becomes an aesthetic, engaging >experience unto itself - a new media art project in its own right. > >ALEX GALLOWAY is editor of Rhizome.org, a leading platform for new media >art. He has written on theoretical issues surrounding digital technologies >and is editing the forthcoming book "RHIZOME: Net, Art, Culture." Galloway >lectures on new media art both in the US and around Europe. On March 15 he >will participate in the "Art, Technology, and Culture Colloquium" at UC >Berkeley. > >Langton's REALLY WIRED series brings professionals from a variety of >disciplines together to discuss art in our digital age. The program will >don a few different hats; three types of events will create a balanced >program and offer audiences different types of engagement with the >speakers. In the first, represented by "Information mapping at >Rhizome.org", Langton will invite prominent artists, researchers, designers >and theorists to give lectures or presentations that explore the >relationship between artists, audiences and technologies. The second REALLY >WIRED format is an informal gathering to foster conversation. Another >REALLY WIRED will take the form of an artist talk. The artist featured in >Langton's Internet exhibition program NetWork will present his or her work >and discuss the artistic issues being addressed. > >* * * > >New Langton Arts is funded in part by Association Française d'Action >Artistique, Banana Republic >BankAmerica Foundation, Lewis Butler, Penny and James Coulter, Cultural >Equity Grants Program of the San Francisco Arts Commission, Cultural >Services of the French Embassy, eBay Great Collections , Etant donnés, >Penny Perlmutter Fernandez, Simon Frankel, Joseph Furlong III, Grants for >the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund, The William and Flora Hewlett >Foundation, Jeanne Meyers, The National Endowment for the Arts Creation & >Presentation Programs, Potrero Nuevo Fund, Robert Harshorn Shimshak, Marcia >Tanner and Winsor Soule, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, >Susan and Richard Swig Watkins, the board of directors and members of New >Langton Arts. > >- end - > >For more information contact Leah Broder at 415 626 5416. >If you would like to be removed from this list, reply with REMOVE in the >body of the email message. > > >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >New Langton Arts >1246 Folsom Street >San Francisco, CA 94103 >415.626.5416 ph >415.255.1453 fx >nla_arts@sirius.com >www.newlangtonarts.org >Featured NetWork site: http://www.auralaura.com > > ------Syndicate mailinglist-------------------- Syndicate network for media culture and media art information and archive: http://www.v2.nl/syndicate to unsubscribe, write to <syndicate-request@aec.at> in the body of the msg: unsubscribe your@email.adress
