Charlemagne Palestine, Michael Jon Fink & Marcelo Aguirre Performance at Maybeck Studio

Charlemagne Palestine ÊÊÊÊÊÊ
and
Michael Jon Fink (electric guitar)
Saturday, January 7, 2006
This will be a rare opportunity to hear three of the world's finest artists on the cutting edge of new music,
appearing together for the first time in the Bay Area.
CHARLEMAGNE PALESTINE was born in Brooklyn in 1947.Ê His first musical experiences were as a cantorial singer in the synagogues of New York. Through his contact with Tony Conrad, Palestine was introduced to the thriving experimental art scene of the late 1960s. The circles around Andy Warhol and La Monte Young provided a crucial backdrop for Palestine's work which increasingly extended beyond the scope of music. His groundbreaking solo appearances, which combined intense piano playing, performance art, video and installation, were considered to be among the most radical musical experiences of their time; leaving a lasting impression onÊfollowers such as Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth and the Sex Pistols, as well as Tintin creator Herge.Ê Though born from Minimalism, his music escapes any ready categorization.Ê Palestine's epic durations, reductive pitch language, microtonal tremolos and dense overtones have became recurring features in contemporary industrial and electronic music.Ê His unique style of singing and ritualistic approach to performance were crucial influences on artists such as Mike Kelley and Paul McCarthy. Through his solo tours and recent collaborations with David Coulter and Barcelona-based techno duo Pan Sonic, Palestine remains a crucial contributor to today's experimental music scene.Ê Please visit his website:ÊÊwww.charlemagnepalestine.org.
MICHAEL JON FINK'S instrumental and electronic music has been performed at numerous concerts and festivals throughout the United States, Europe and Japan. His works appear on the Contagion, Cold Blue, C.R.I.,Trance Port, Raptoria Caam and Wire Tapper labels.Ê He has composed concertos for soprano saxophone, bass clarinet, violin and cello, as well as incidental music for two plays of William Butler Yeats.Ê He has been a composer/improviser with experimental and new music groups that have included The Negative Band, Musica Veneris Nocturnus, Stillife and Ghost Duo.Ê In recent years, he has increasingly focused on performing in solo and group situations, exploring new sounds and forms on the electric guitar.Ê Please visit www.michaeljonfink.com.
MARCELO AGUIRRE hails from Argentina and has resided in the city of Berlin for the past five years.Ê A self-taught percussionist and vocalist, his playing exhibits a spectrum of approaches, ranging from spacious, delicateÊbeatings to bursts of charged noise with a focus on continuous sound. He is currently working on various projects: Butoh dance with Anna Barth, electronics with composer Hans W. Koch, and live drawings/installations with Karen Scheper in the duo The Inner Metal. He curated and co-curated events at the Podewil Contemporary Arts Center in Berlin, 2003-2004 (Sculpture Musicale; Violet Music I & II; der negative horizont). He is also active writing about experimental music for diverse magazines and creatingÊhis small homemade, work-in progressÊlabel minœscula.
In 2005 Fink and Aguirre joined forces, performing improvisations/compositions on a tour that took them to venues in Germany, France and Belgium.

Antonio Puri: Outside the Mandala
December 16, 2005 to January 29, 2006
When viewing the work of Antonio Puri, his large scale canvases, can only be described as a fully encompassing experience of color, texture, and form. PuriÕs paintings depict a delicate balance of sharp and concise circular forms, combined with a more improvisational and spontaneous application of paint and wax. His paintings are an unprecedented hybrid. He has taken the ancient Eastern technique of batik and applied it to mixed media and oil paints on canvas, creating a new form, the batik canvas. By using this modifiedÊprocess, Puri is able to capture the very essence of his gestures as he attacks the canvas. Through this process, layers once covered, are exposed after the wax is removed, thus revealing the evolution of the work over time. However at times, Puri uses strings as a resist, instead of wax.ÊÊ
Ultimately, Puri'sÊart form engages the viewer in an active level of deciphering and imagining the works in various stages of completion. As Puri writes in his artist statement, Òby contrasting Êhighly textured surfaces with flat surfaces, vertical and horizontal drips, circles of different proportionsÉ a tension develops. This tension is the force that keeps the paintings alive.Ó Many of the paintings on view in Outside the Mandala were created while Puri was a part of the chashama artist-in-residence subsidized space grant in New York.
Puri was born in Chandigarh, India, and spent the first 17 years of his life in international boarding schools in the Himalayas. He came to the United States to attend Coe College in Iowa, where he majored in art. Puri also studied at the San Francisco Academy of Art and attended the University of Iowa School of Law where he earned his JD. ÊPuri has had several solo exhibitions including Weiss Pollack Gallery, New York; chashama, New York; Holland Art House, West Chester, PA; Gloucester County College, NJ; Cumberland County College, NJ; and Planet Art Museum, South Africa. He has also exhibited in numerous group exhibitions including the Susquehanna Art Museum, PA; Bergen Museum of Art and Science, NJ; The Noyes Museum of Art, NJ; Sharadin Art Gallery at Kutztown University, PA; Rowan University, NJ; and Som Arts Cultural Center, San Francisco, among many others. His work is also represented in museum and corporate collections and he is currently planning for two large-scale exhibitions in 2006 at West Chester University, West Chester, PA and the Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville, NJ.

BINARY KATWALK
Binarykatwalk announces the launch of its first edition.
Binarykatwalk.net
Binary Katwalk is an on-line New Media exhibition focusing on work that is experimental
and would benefit from this non-traditional exhibition space. The goal
of the site is to unify works over time into one expanding and unified
exhibition as opposed to specific exhibitions that open and then close or
go to a secondary archive. It is co-curated by Jeremy Hight and Sindee
Nakatani.
Come to Binary Katwalk to see the work of 5 strong artists from very
different points in the spectrum of New Media.

Mediatopia.2 fresh! @ mediatopia.net

Their fresh, networked interfaces look to a variety of means to utilize the internet, as playground, platform or paintbrush.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mediatopia.2 fresh!
Artists create art in cyberspace, but can you hang it on a wall?
Mediatopia.2 fresh! assembles an exciting mix of recent net-based work by a diverse group of neoteric artists, creatives and thinkers. Their fresh, networked interfaces look to a variety of means to utilize the Internet, both as creative medium and as a channel to share and distribute their output. The Internet, with its network functionality and potential for user interaction, is their creative playground: a form to manipulate and a means of social or political expression. Mediatopia.2 fresh! is a net-based opportunity for artists to gain exposure for their culture work. Mediatopia.2 fresh! is produced by Adhocarts.org, a non-profit media-arts organization. Lara Bank and Andrew Bucksbarg worked together to curate a program from recent work submitted internationally that uses the Internet as a playground, platform or paintbrush.
Jessica Ivan's Retrotype historically traces female representation in video games through an interface that allows the participant to personalize and question the object of their gaze. Do you live in East L.A. and long to live closer to celebrities in a gated community? Carlos Katastrofsky performs Neighborhood and Area Research for you, so you can discover who your IP address neighbors are in cyberspace. On the Internet, distance is collapsed as ideologues are brought closer together. Michael Takeo Magruder's
Together these disparate works signify the production, both singularly and collaboratively, of persons whose concerns go beyond the instance of capital and reach outward to the cultural center of what digital media can mean for human expression and communication. Their work is a mirror before us that traces both our success and failure: together and separate in the network. These words may wish to provide an overview or representation of their work, but fail to provide the one thing these artists considered as they created their work- your interaction. This interaction forms a means to destabilize the relation of the author or creator, bringing in the user as an active director or participant in the process.
Artist's work created for the Internet poses problems for persons, museums or galleries who would collect and display it. Internet Art is not easily installed in these traditional spaces, and although digital information does not degrade, the technology that expresses it is constantly changing and upgrading. Software evolves, computers and their operating systems change, as well as progressive modifications to the human-computer interface, making it difficult to collect and archive this kind of work. Net-based art is ephemeral under these circumstances.
Artists who create "net.art,' have another problem at hand as well. How do you create value for something that is distributed on a network and available to anyone with a computer and connection? Historically, most art, aside from live performance, is based upon its being a one-of-a-kind object that maintains or even gains value as a collected piece. This makes raising funds for or selling this work a difficult proposition. Rachel Greene, author of Internet Art, writes, "Internet Art has less to do with objects of social prestige, and little, at least currently, to do with the cosmopolitan art businesses that thrive in New York, Cologne, London and other culture capitals.' These limitations have given artists who work with the Internet a kind of freedom and revelry of exploration, as well as a particular tool for cultural and institutional critique. Many artists see the Internet as a cause to really challenge fundamental elements of humanity: identity, methods of communication, technology, politics and the institution. These artists understand that people expanded by the Internet all over the world, are brought together in cyberspace.
The Internet was launched in 1989 by the British scientist Tim Berners-Lee. As the use of the Internet grew, so did a community of artists who began to utilize it as a creative medium by the mid 1990s. Some of the early practitioners of Internet Art were Post-Communist East Europeans and organizations like the Ljudmila Media Center in Slovenia, supported by George Soros's Open Society Institute. Much of the practice of Internet Art also saw support in media arts festivals in Europe during this time. Internet Art has grown over the years as the Internet has seen increased use and is now getting more recognition from the traditional formats of museums and galleries.
Artists will continue to participate in the social uses of new technology. They will take part in future network technologies and cultures, where the Internet will be augmented by shared virtual space. People on the network will come together in synthetic worlds to create, communicate and recreate. This is already occurring in online multi-player games and environments like Second Life (http://secondlife.com), which include their own economies. Objects and land can be bought and sold and complex social transactions take place in these ephemeral, digital realms that exist on servers. Some artists, such as Chris Burke, are hacking online multi-user games for other purposes, such as a talk show in game space (http://www.thisspartanlife.com).
Artists have a long history of socially relevant communication from within the culture they are steeped. Mediatopia.net and its supporting organization, Adhocarts, offer perspective to this process in the continually shifting phenomena of cyberspace. Mediatopia.net is produced by Adhocarts (http://adhocarts.org), which sponsors a variety of expressions that fall on the lines of interconnecting disciplines, theories, technologies and cultures. Adhocarts.org is a non-profit collaboration supporting arts and culture by producing avenues for creative expression and thought both online and off. Adhocarts.org was founded in 2000 and exists as a catalyst for work that uses technology and hypermedia, such as net.art, installation, digital video, writing and live art.
We still believe in net-based culture. Mediatopia.net

The Invisible Guy
is online now!
Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Fellow Cyber-Surfers:
This is to let you know that my latest and current project, The Invisible Guy, is now officially online. Over three years in the making (and still in progress), it consists of lots and lots of music - surf tunes, humorous songs, a couple of tangos, and some demented anachronistic pop stylings not easy to describe - and for every number a scene (delivered in prose, I'm afraid; no flash cartoons or videos. You have to enjoy a good read).
These will be uploaded every Friday for the next 40 to 50 weeks, much like a serial novel. So to enjoy the full ride you'll have to keep coming back. It's cumulative though; once up there, every episode will be permanently available and accessible any time.
You are invited to get your first glimpse of The Invisible Guy right now at the above URL. Listen to the theme song, meet the gorgeous but wicked Zipper Ripper, and learn a bit of trivia.
This is a free online entertainment from the Leisure Planet.
(By the way, view it in Netscape if you can. Some stuff doesn't look right otherwise, and I'm not sure why.)
Thanks,

Viralnet.net is now online!
Viralnet is a productive nexus: critique, archive, art space and journal.
It intends to raise questions and provoke assumptions about culture,
media, politics and the arts.
Working with international social critics, media theorists, writers,
curators and artists, it is an online space that will grow and mutate as
it delivers material for these post-digital, post-democratic times. As
human experience becomes more mediated, we will highlight alternative
pathways into future thought and art making.
Produced by the Center for Integrated Media and the MFA Writing Program at
CalArts, Viralnet offers a series of commissioned online projects, essays
and interviews with a view toward articulating new concepts and working
strategies developed by contemporary intermedia artists, writers and
theorists. Tom Leeser, Director of the Center for Integrated Media,
says Viralnet is set up to look at digital media in relation to
culture, politics and the arts. The computer and the Internet have
expanded far beyond the boundaries of an exclusive digital domain,
allowing a transformation from novelty to the familiar," he says. "As with
radio at the beginning of the 20th century, digital technology has entered
a state of flux, going from an object of privilege to a common and
everyday ubiquitous appliance. This will have creative, social and
political ramifications that we are only beginning to
experience and understand."
Some of the contributors to this release of Viralnet include; social
critic and author, Norman Klein, new media theorist and author, Lisa
Nakamura, Kitchen curator and author, Christina Yang, artists, Perry
Hoberman and Sara Roberts.

"Re: Duchamp Traveling Exhibition"
La Biennale di Venezia:
49th International Exhibition of Art--
Concomitant Exhibitions
http://www.nyartsmagazine.com/duchamp
"The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition is a project that has been evolving
over time. It has traveled to various cities in Germany, Poland, Chile and
Israel, as well as New York City. It is the ongoing work of Abraham Lubelski,
and incorporates the work of over 250 other artists, including Nam June Paik,
Dennis Oppenheim, Carl Andre, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Taylor Mead, Larry
Weiner, David Humphrey, Inka Essenhigh....
The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition at the 49th Venice Biennale* is an
installation of clotheslines from which artwork is hung.** The idea for this
installation is derived from Marcel Duchamp's infamous benefit exhibition
organized on the Premises of the Coordinating Council of French Relief
Societies, 451 Madison Avenue, New York, October 14th - November 7th, 1942,
in which he criss-crossed the entire gallery with one mile of string. This
entanglement, which the public had to negotiate when they came to view the
art, stood as a metaphor for the difficulties encountered in attempting to
understand modern art.
The current exhibition uses this Duchampian metaphor to point to connectivity
as much as any difficulty that might hinder an appreciation of art in the
digital age---art whose nature may be partially or completely ephemeral,
time-based, or immaterial, and which might be conveyed digitally or housed
virtually. Re: Duchamp celebrates the process of visual sampling in a world
where the line between original and copy has been blurred, and the medium is
the readymade.
** Participating artists were asked to e-mail their submissions as digital
files. These were printed out, placed in plastic sleeves and brought to
Venice for installation. Hung from criss-crossing lengths of string at the
Church of S. Maria Ausiliatrice, they resemble so many Tibetan prayer flags,
the wind and the Web conveying and disseminating their messages.
* At the 49th Venice Biennale, the Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition forms
part of the Markers Project, which involves organizations in Venice including
the Peggy Gugghenheim Collection, the Biennale Arti Visive, and the
Municipality of Venice itself."

symposium is to present new works, research and performances in the
areas of technology and the arts. The symposium will consist of
commissioned works, paper sessions, panel discussions, art exhibitions,
interactive environments, music concerts, screenings and multi-media
performances. In an effort to demystify the artistic process and create

speak about their work at the symposium.
The Center seeks submissions in the general areas of Interactivity,
Cognition, Compositional and Artistic Process, Social and Ethical
Issues in Arts and Technology, Art, Music, Video, Film, Animation,

various methods of creating film without photography, or novel uses of
the projector beam on the low tech side. Works that display worthy
reflections on the nexus of art, society and technology, even if
created by primarily 'conventional' means, are encouraged. Submissions
in the category of 'expanded cinema' and projection performance will be
accepted, but resources are limited and artists presenting such work
should expect to bring all or much of their own essential gear.

Chisel, cut, mix, set in spaceŠSound has the power of the cinema and is lighter
Among the prizes awarded for acoustic creation, the Phonurgia Nova competition has, since 1986, occupied a special place by virtue of its recognition of artists whose work exploits sound as a medium for expressing the real and the imaginary. In 2003, 150 productions from 19 different countries were entered in the prize.
This year's competition will distinguish authors whose work manifests a keen sense of sound and listening as means of expression, on two areas :
RADIO ARTS will privilige all forms of inventive radiophonic creation: documentary,
fiction, essays, interviews, radio mix, Hšrspiel, experimental forms etc.
NEW MEDIAS awards will go to sound installations or sonic works which have been specially created for "new media" to bring new experiences in sound art to listeners - mobile phone, audioblog, site exploring the acoustic dimensions of the net.
In each category the jury will deliberate on two types of work:

Are you interested in performing on the Meridian Music series?
We welcome your interest and want you to have a sense of what we're seeking for this series. The space is a wonderful, intimate venue, a rectangular gallery space, deeply windowed at one end, hardwood floored, 14 1/2 feet by 30 feet with a 10 1/2 foot ceiling. We can seat a maximum of 50 people. We're on the second floor of a building in downtown San Francisco, generally quiet, but with some street sounds audible. There is not a piano in the space. The audience usually sits on comfortable folding chairs. Because it is an active, vibrant art gallery, the music always occurs in relation to the current exhibition. So, we are interested in music that works well in this resonant space.
Each concert is professionally recorded by Michael Zelner of Zoka Productions. With this opportunity, those selected will also share their unique musical perspective with a group of about 15 low-income, high school aged, interns in a one-hour workshop.
We invite proposals from composer/performers for solo or very small ensemble performances that take into account the size of the room. Quiet, "lower case" music works well here, so do sonically saturating pieces. It's a small space, and we respect the ears of our audiences and we want performers who understand that. We host a wide range of styles and approaches, including free improv, structured improv, minimalism, new (and old) complexity, as well as streams from jazz, "concert" music, art music from all world cultures, experimental music, and performance art. We hope to present a wide variety of these sorts of art music, and we need your proposals to help us to do that.
Your proposal needs to let us know what you wish to perform and how you sense your work fitting into the Meridian Music series. Just a few lines of text are fine; we're not after pages of information. You're also very welcome to enter a conversation with us about what you'd like to do. We're working artists and musicians and educators and we always enjoy talking with others in these fields. We want your experience with us to benefit you as well as us and that is why we look thoughtfully for good matches of performer and space.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely, Tom

There is a new improvising space in the web at www.auracle.org
It's a webspace where everyone can improvise together, the only thing
you'd need to participate is internet access, a microphone (the
built-in mic of your computer is fully sufficient) and just your
voice or anything else that makes a sound. The idea is to provide an
easily accessable worldwide improvising space that anyone, musician
or non-musician, can easily handle and make music with it.
We over here in Stutgart are promoting this project from Saturday
25.9. until Friday, 1.10. every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. central
eurpoean time, and it would be great if as many people as possible
would join us in this time and improvise together.
the project was initiated by Max Neuhaus, realised by Shekar
Ramakrishnan, Kristjan Varnik, Jason Freeman and others, and you can
find more information on the website www.auracle.org
Hope to meet all of you there
i am a co-founder and co-director of collective: unconscious, an artist-run multi media art space and production facility that has just moved into nyc/usa/tribeca, to hopefully engage in the heretofore rather obscure task of the de-gentrification of a neighborhood in new york city.
at this point, the best way that many of the prolific members of the experimental art/media/theater community can help us is through doing a show/event at collective: unconscious. our carrying expenses are 7000 dollars a month, and we need to have a full schedule of weird, strange, shocking, experimental, original stuff going on in our space to keep us from economically crashing and burning in short order
we have karen finley www.karenfinley.org doing a run of shows in september and october, which means sizable audiences to glean for a whole slew of open 10pm slots.
a partial and by no means exhaustive pitch for our new facility:
the only space of its kind left in lower manhattan, in a sea of starbucked duane readed name branded cultural garbage, a barnacle of freakdom that you can help keep alive in the trying months ahead
come by any of our bookings meetings any sunday at 6pm at 279 church st., nyc, usa, and/or email scheduling@weird.org. speak to gecko or myself. we are inviting both local artists and international artists seeking to do shows/events in new york city at low cost. we want engaging original work that may not be as established as the work presented by other experimental art spaces in nyc such as the kitchen or ps122. if you don't know about our space and you are interested in booking an event with us, check out our website www.weird.org

RAM-Radioartemobile and Nomads & Residents
A collection and a traveling archive of audio-artworks, a database on the Internet, and a center for different ways of listening
Proposal open to all artists who work with sound
Radioartemobile (RAM) and Nomads & Residents (N&R) kickoff an audio-artwork database.
All artists who have worked or are working with sound are invited to send an artwork on audio CD, DVD, or on a vinyl record. The RAM headquarters in Rome, via Conte Verde 15, will function as a gathering and a listening point and as an archive for all materials received. It will be open to public. Artworks will be gradually posted in the section "database" of the Radio website www.radioartemobile.it.
RAM is also the first location of a traveling archive initiated by Nomads & Residents. The second public presentation will be in San Francisco, at Southern Exposure, in the spring of 2005.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING AUDIO-WORKS
- the sender can mention any requirement needed to listen to the audio-work (type of loudspeakers, stereo system, headphones, etc.). These indications will be taken into consideration each time RAM would chose the piece for installing it, within the technical and logistic features available;
Radioartemobile and Nomads & Residents will take the best care of the entered works, but cannot take liability for accidental damage, loss or theft. For this reason we suggest to send two copies of each material. RAM and N&R will
archive all sound works that fit the above mentioned requirements and will present them to the public.
Lorenzo Benedetti, Riccardo Giagni and Cesare Pietroiusti will listen to all the entries and will gradually post them in the web-site database. In turn-to the discretion of the curators- some artworks will be displayed in the RAM headquarters in Rome with the aim of offering the public also the possibility to explore different ways of listening to audio-works. The database will gradually increase the number of contributions and will be presented to the public at regular appointments. The first public presentation is scheduled for mid October 2004.
Deadline for first submission is September 1, 2004.
Please send the material to:

Dangerous Curve is a new Downtown Los Angeles experimental exhibition
and performance art space committed to supporting visionary emerging
artists of all ages, by emphasizing one-person shows of risky,
intelligent work that is not necessarily commercially viable nor
currently popular. Dangerous Curve is also a new venue for performance
artists, with performance-exhibits, monthly performance art and
experimental music events, and an annual end-of-summer festival planned.
Dangerous Curve is looking for performance artists and experimental
musicians for their monthly Performance Art and Experimental Music
Nights. We will give preference to work that is, in the words of Jacki
Apple, radical content in radical form. We want work that pushes
the envelope, not pure dance, singing, or theatre.
Submission format: DVDs/CDs/URLs preferred. We can handle videotapes
and slides, but not to your best advantage. For performance art, a
written description may even suffice; musicians must send samples.
Deadline: Ongoing.

The New York Arts Recovery Fund will survey NYC artists to find out
if they need job retraining in the areas of teaching, social work,
and some construction-related trades as well as arts organizations to
see if they have laid workers off. Artists will be eligible for the
Consortium for Worker Education's job retraining program for NYC
artists whose economic base has been impacted by the disaster.
Additionally, it is possible that CWE will provide, with NYFA's help,
partial wage subsidies to nonprofit arts organizations that laid
workers off or cut back their pay or hours as a result of September

ORGANISM: MAKING ART WITH LIVING SYSTEMS
organism is a new mailing list for people interested in art that
involves living systems. discussion topics on organism include
technical, practical, aesthetic, and ethical issues.
subscribe to the organism mailing list:
http://music.columbia.edu/organism/
the idea of making art with living systems is not new; you might even
consider a topiary garden or a goldfish pond to be biological art. what
is new is the degree of control over biological systems and materials
contemporary technology offers us.
some artists making biologically-based art:
Eduardo Kac has made several transgenic artworks, including GFP Bunny,
a genetically engineered fluorescent rabbit.
Damien Hirst's A Thousand Years involves a cycle of maggots eating a cow
head.
Yukinori Yanagi uses ant farms in some of his work.
Edgar Lissel's Bakterium is photographic images rendered in
light-sensitive bacteria.
Richard Reames is an arborsculptor who makes extreme trees.
douglas repetto (that's me!) has a number of pieces, like How to Annoy a
Plant, that involve plants and time-lapse photography.

Washington, D C, the Santa Fe Art Institute is contributing to the
support and normalization of life in America. The Santa Fe Art

CONCERT I
PITCH BLACK: The Music of Jacob ter Veldhuis
Jacob ter Veldhuis has emerged as one of the Netherlands' most engaging and provocative contemporary composers. Strongly influenced by rock, his musical language employs expressive, stylistic collisions that eviscerate distinctions between high and popular idioms. His compositions for saxophones and boom box incorporate samples ranging from Chet Baker to the Jerry Springer Show to religious fanatics in Times Square.

Salvatore Sciarrino: Pagine & Canzoniere da Scarlatti
The artistry of the renowned Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino and the "gentle, reedy beauty" (New York Times) of the PRISM Quartet meet in this exploration of elaborazioni of classical and jazz icons. Sciarrino, following in the tradition of contemporary Italian composers who were also scholarly devotees of western composition, stunningly adapts music by Gesualdo, Bach, Scarlatti, Mozart, Gershwin, and Cole Porter.

of creative expression and contain a major technology component.
Proposals will be accepted for performances, concerts, showings or
installations; completed works will be presented during the symposium.
Proposals must include detailed technical and production requirements,
and a proposed budget. Limit of one proposal per team. The piece must
not have been previously published, performed or exhibited. Awards
will be granted at the discretion of the Center. Submissions not
accepted for the commissioned category will also be reviewed for the
general submissions category. Accepted commissions will be awarded a
stipend of $3000 and a residency at Connecticut College between March
27 and April 1 that includes:
- performance or installation of the accepted work
- workshops with students
- attendance at the symposium
- presentation at the symposium
A two-page extended abstract or complete paper, including technical
requirements, must be submitted by email or mail. Upon acceptance,
revised papers must be submitted electronically by January 31, 2006 as
a PDF. Complete technical requirements for presentation must be
included. Papers will be published by the Center in the symposium
proceedings. All rights will remain with the author. Papers will be
selected for twenty-minute presentations as part of the daily schedule
of speakers. Papers may be grouped by the Center in a panel discussion
format.
Proposals for panel discussions are encouraged. Proposals should
include names of prospective panelists and topic, which should address
the general areas of the symposium. Papers may be grouped by the
Center in a panel discussion format.
In addition to academic and theoretical papers, submissions of
technology-based or technology-oriented creative works are encouraged.
Maximum one proposal per person or team, and we reserve the right not
to review multiple pieces in a single submission. All submissions must
be accompanied by a one-page description/abstract for presentation at
the symposium about the work, a list of complete technical needs,
biography and contact information. See specific categories for
additional requirements. All presenters and artists are encouraged to
speak about their work at the symposium. Symposium registration will be
required for all symposium attendees.

Music submissions (composition, performance, theory, interactivity,
signal processing and music understanding) are encouraged. Works for
instruments, digital media, CD or interactive compositions are also
being solicited for "tape only" concerts or live performance. Works
should not exceed 15 minutes in length and should be submitted with
accompanying score, where appropriate. Music must be submitted on CD
for review, with accompanying scores as required. Musicians, dancers
and actors may be available for live performance pieces. All

presentation at the symposium about the work. Complete technical and
performance requirements must be included.
Computer-generated or computer-aided dance compositions and theater
works are being solicited for live demonstrations or for videotaped

particular interest as opposed to concert tapes or other archival uses
of video. Also of interest are proposals for workshops, demonstrations
of software for dance or theater notation, choreographic analysis,
interactive studies and/or multi-media studies of performance in dance
and theater. Performances may be accepted, but will be limited by
technical needs and financial considerations. All submissions should be

Troika Ranch Live-I Workshops 2005 New York / USA
July 11-15 / July 18-22 2005
www.troikaranch.org/livei.html
First Week - Software / Sensors / Technology - July 11-15, 10am - 4pm
Second Week - Aesthetics and Creative Expression - July 18-22, 10am - 4pm
Application Deadline: Apr 15, 2005
Notification of Acceptance: Apr 22, 2005
Fees due to Troika Ranch by: May 15th, 2005
New York City based dance theater company Troika Ranch announces its annual Live-Interactive (Live-I) Workshop, an intensive seminar for artists and advanced students who want to explore the use of interactive computer technology in the creation and performance of dance, theater, installation, and related live artworks. The workshop will take place from July 11-22 in New York City. Application deadline for the workshop is April 15th, 2005.
Led by composer/media artist Mark Coniglio and choreographer Dawn Stoppiello, Artistic Co-Directors of Troika Ranch (www.troikaranch.org), the Live-I Workshop allows students to explore strategies and techniques for combining interactive digital media and live performance. Participants will learn to use software and hardware that links their gestures and vocalizations to interactively controlled video, sound, light and other digital media, leading to the creation of a short study over the course of the workshop. This hands on aspect will be complimented by an introduction to the aesthetic and compositional concerns that arise when using interactive digital tools, including critical discussions about how the technology itself shapes the form and content of an artwork.
Students will learn Isadora(r) (www.troikaranch.org/isadora.html as the primary software tool for authoring, though they are welcome to bring other software (MAX/Jitter, etc.) if they are comfortable in those environments and can bring their own copy. (Please let us know if you plan to do this.) In all cases, participants will learn what is necessary to create their studies during the workshop: basic programming skills, video and audio capture, and how to manipulate the media with software.
We will be selecting ten participants for each workshop. The application deadline is April 15th, 2005. You will be notified of your acceptance no later than one week after the deadline. Fees are due to Troika Ranch no later than May 15th.
To apply, please send or email Troika Ranch (see contact information below) one paragraph explaining why you are interested in attending the workshop and one paragraph describing the kind of work that you make. You should also briefly tell us about your level of expertise with computers. Please include your name, address, telephone number and email address.
Participants may choose to attend only the first week. Those who have attended a past Live-I Workshop may attend only the second. If you plan to attend the first or second week only, the cost is US$400. If you plan to attend both, the cost is US$800.
NOTE: It is recommended that you bring your own laptop computer (Mac or PC) if possible. We have a limited number of computers for use by the workshop participants. If you cannot bring your own computer, you may be required to share a computer with one other participant. In addition, if you can bring a digital video camera, you will find it useful. If you are able to bring your own computer, please let us know the type, speed, and whether or not it has a FireWire (aka iLink) port.
For further details, please visit: www.troikaranch.org/livei.html
Or, if you have questions, please email us at: mailto:workshop@troikaranch.org
About Mark Coniglio, Dawn Stoppiello and Troika Ranch
Dubbed "interactive performance pioneers" by the New York Times and "multimedia mavericks" by the Village Voice, composer Mark Coniglio and choreographer Dawn Stoppiello founded Troika Ranch in 1994 to create works that fuse traditional elements of dance, music and theater with interactive computer technology and media. Their recent evening length work "Future of Memory" was awarded the 2003 Time Out New York Dance Audience "Bessie" Award in New York City and received an honorary mention at Prix Ars Electronica 2004.
Troika Ranch has performed throughout the United States and Europe, at venues including Monaco Dance Forum, Monte Carlo, Monaco, The Duke on 42nd Street, The Kitchen and Joyce Soho, all in New York City; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood Florida, among others.
They have taught the Live-I Workshop at numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. European hosts have included Contredanse (Brussels, Belgium), FACT (Liverpool, England), and Neuer Forum Musiktheater (Stuttgart, Germany). In North America, the workshop has been taught at Brown University, Oberlin College, University of Maryland, the Santa Fe Art Institute, and InterAccess in Toronto.
Coniglio and Stoppiello both received their degrees from California Institute of the Arts, where Coniglio was a student of electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick. After graduating, Stoppiello danced professionally for the Bella Lewitzky Dance Company. Coniglio has taught Interactive Music Composition at CalArts and New York University and Stoppiello has taught on the dance faculties of Loyola Marymount University, Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts, and Universtiy of Maryland, Baltimore County.
