FILE LABO WORKSHOP SERIES 2009
From now on FILE Labo will be part of the FILE Exhibition with a special space dedicated to a reflexive and practical view about the digital art media field. This initiative coincides with the foundation of workshops with important artists and theoreticians from the digital art and new media field inside the exhibition gallery of FILE 2009. The goal of bringing FILE Labo close to the visitors is to show a unknown fact for most of the people that attend the Festival: the programming and the creation of the pieces are a hard work that involves a deep technological comprehension combined with a strong debate about the state of art and its contemporary developments.
++ WORKSHOPS:
LOCATIVE MEDIA: THEORY AND PRACTICE Brett Stalbaum (UCSD) & Cicero Silva (Software Studies) 07/28 | 9am - 1pm
The workshop will introduce basic concepts about locative media art. People will learn how to create content for cell/mobile phones using art & technology ideas and the walkingtools.net project as the feature to deploy the content.
DATA VISUALIZATION José Luis de Vicente (Visualizar) & Irma Vilá (Visualizar) 07/29 | 9am - 1pm
Workshop that will introduce the main concepts related to data visualization and also discuss the importance and the aesthetics of data processing and image generation.
CULTURAL ANALYTICS Lev Manovich (UCSD/Software Studies) 07/30 & 31 | 9am - 1pm
Today sciences, business, governments and other agencies rely on computer-based analysis and visualization of large data sets and data flows. They employ statistical data analysis, data mining, information visualization, scientific visualization, visual analytics, and simulation. We believe that it is time that we start applying these techniques to cultural data. The large data sets are already here ? the result of the digitization efforts by museums, libraries, and companies over the last ten years (think of book scanning by Google and Amazon) and the explosive growth of newly available cultural content on the web. The workshop will provide the tools for the participants create their own analysis of the data and also to create their own visualization of the collected data.
Evento discute cidade e mídia a partir de três eixos principais: situações, práticas e encontros. A conferência será em Weimar, Alemanha, em janeiro de 2008. Vejam o site para mais detalhes aqui:
"The conference will investigate how the social settings and spaces of the city are created, experienced and practiced through the use and presence of new media. We will take the position that new media enables different settings, practices and behaviours to occur in urban space. These media create opportunities for diverse forms of connections between people and spaces and enable and create flows; of information, of communication and of knowledge. The conference will consist of three sessions, a workshop and several additional activites, which will explore these themes in a focussed way. We anticipate contributions from academics, practitioners, activists close to disciplines such as media studies, architecture, urban studies, cultural and urban geography and sociology ? using in innovative ways and reflecting critically on processes, methods and impacts of public participation and technologies in urban realm, within their theoretical and practical research, teaching, or activism roles."
HP promove evento sobre Locative Media, o mscape - You Are Here em Bristol, GB. O mscape é uma plataforma para dispositivos móveis, que utiliza GPS criando "mediascapes". Segundo os site, "mediascapes" são "location-based experiences, games and tours on a handheld device. Here you can download the software, grab the latest mediascapes created by the community and most importantly, learn how simple it is to make your own." Vejam por exemplo o Breda Sound Walk
O evento em Bristol terminou dia 4 e no cardápio discussões sobre "Pervasive gaming"; "Audio for locative media"; "Beyond GPS"; "Collaborative mapping"...
"During this workshop, organized by Mediamatic and held during the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam, I held a presentation about possibilities of locative media for documentary storytelling."
