MAG 01
The first issue of MAG (magmart magazine) is now available online.
MAG - magmart magazine is born by a rib of Magmart festival, and this first
issue is partially devoted to it. But, of course, MAG don't talk just about
the festival; our wish is to give life at a place where peoples can confront
with, discussing of digital arts, not just videoart, so we are just starting
by Magmart - and hereby pay a due homage.
We'll call to collaborate many peoples - artists, but not only - from around
the world, expecially for a column, called 'YP' (Your Projects), where
anyone can illustrate worldwide his own artistic project.
But anyone can nominate himself for a collaboration. Send us articles, or
signal an event, a website or a blog, where is possible to meet open
discussion about the same themes of MAG.
We want be an open space, and ask just that articles can be of wide
interest.
Consequently with this line, all the contents of MAG are free to publish,
according to lines of Creative Commons: don't use for commercial publishing,
quote the authors and the magazine.
We invite you-all to read, diffuse and collaborate!
You can download first issue starting by festival's home page
(www.magmart.it), or directly by this page: www.magmart.it/mag01.php

Dear List,
organised by..
DATABASE OF VIRTUAL ART & DEPARTMENT FOR IMAGE SCIENCE
:: DANUBE TELE LECTURE "MYTHS OF IMMATERIALITY" :: is now archived
:: „MYTHS OF IMMATERIALITY: Curating, Collecting and Archiving Media Art” ::
Lectures and debate with
- Paul SERMON, media artist and scientist, UK
- Christiane PAUL, curator for New Media at the Whitney Museum, NY
In case you were not able to follow Danube TeleLecture #3 live from the MUMOK
in Vienna, you can now view the lecture in our archive
=> www.donau-uni.ac.at/dtl-archive
=> www.donau-uni.ac.at/telelectures
During the last decades media art has grown to be the art of our time, though it has
hardly arrived in our cultural institutions.
The mainstream of art history has neglected developing adequate research tools
for these contemporary art works, they are exhibited infrequently in museums, and
there are few collectors. Which practices and strategies in curating and documenting
of media art do experts in the field suggest?
The discussion was moderated by Dr. Michael Freund, from Austrian leading
newspaper “Der Standard”.
******************************************************************
:: The DEPARTMENT FOR IMAGE SCIENCE at Danube University Krems is an
institution for innovative research and teaching on the complete range of image
forms. The Department is situated in the Wachau, Austria - a UNESCO world
heritage site - in the Goettweig Monastery and is housed in a fourteenth century
castle. It is the base of the public documentation platforms www.virtualart.at and
www.mediaarthistory.org .
******************************************************************
The Department's new low residency postgraduate master's programs in
MEDIAARTHISTORIES www.donau-uni.ac.at/mediaarthistories, PHOTOGRAPHY,
and IMAGE MANAGEMENT are internationally unique.
******************************************************************
> Next Tele Lecture :
We will be happy to welcome you live or via streaming for
our Tele Lecture in November.
Guest will be the media theorist Lev MANOVICH.

xxxxx list for life coding of events (ideas and announcements) and
discussion of life coding practice.
Subscription: https://www.bek.no/mailman/listinfo/xxxxx
Life coding is a mapping of the descriptive means of hardware and
programming onto the world, a concern with an interiority of the
project of rationalism (the CPU) which can be expanded with reference
to data sheets, instruction sets (for example) and an operating system
in its widest (divine) sense.
Life coding is a concrete practice (code brut) with evident links to
the science of endophysics (exteriority and ethics), Gnostic fiction
(paranoia in language as fiction), electromystical activity, EM
(electromagnetic) for city flaneur, and crash of entropic world-view
economy.
xxxxx list activity is not limited to these activities and ideas -
rather exploring a wider territory for this new constructivism.

xxxxx workshop_19_xx Berlin
A (more-than-less) weekly series of constructivist workshops emphasising
making and connection within the field of the existent.
Upcoming:
14th July 2PM: Generative Text With Python and Brendan Howell. Detail below
21st July: No workshop. Break for live coding in Sheffield.
Summer highlights: Collective radio telescope construction, Cinelerra,
free software video editing with Florian Cramer (18th August) and...
noise_produce summer edition. 5/6/7/8 September:
Four days of advanced construction of noise (any) electronic apparatus
using all manner of techniques (including free software PCB schematic
design and etching, AVR/ATmega microcontrollers). Audio project work or
computer interface appreciated. Full technical support, potential
circuits, advice and parts provided.
Please register with projects now.
... or contact if you're interested in leading a related workshop.
//<-------------------------------------------------
14th July 2PM: Generative Text With Python and Brendan Howell.
Python is a powerful object oriented programming language with extremely
broad applications. That may sound intimidating but fortunately, it's
easy for programmers with limited experience to get started. The
easiest place to begin is with text processing.
This workshop will take you through the basics of Python coding with the
goal of creating synthetic texts. Make your own fake Dickens novel.
Unify the theories (or at least the phrases) of Freud and Jung. Roll
your own SPAM. Create a joke machine. Translate your email to
Rumsfeldian Newspeak, Fachjargon or Art-speak.
What to bring:
- Computer with Python 2.4 or later installed (any platform):
http://python.org/download/
- Optional: Any print text or digital text that you'd like to
re-process.
About The Instructor:
Brendan Howell is an artist and engineer from Baltimore, MD, USA. His
current project, "The Howell Ersatz Co." explores the history of
technology with a series of fake artifacts.
Course fee: 10 euros including generated text
Please RSVP m@1010.co.uk to reserve places
//<-------------------------------------------------
Background:
A weekly series of constructivist workshops emphasising making and
connection within the field of the existent.
Workshops led by field-expert practitioners extend over realms of code
and embedded code, environmental code, noise, transmission and
reception, and electromysticism. Workshops solely utilise free
software and GNU toolbase.
Practitioners include Julian Oliver (http://selectparks.net/), Derek
Holzer (http://soundtransit.nl), Jeff Mann (http://jeffmann.com),
Martin Howse (http://1010.co.uk), Fredrik Olofsson

Please RSVP m@1010.co.uk to reserve any places or register
interest. Please forward.

7th July 2PM: Mini_maxwell: City EM (electromagnetic) sniffing and
flaneur with ap/xxxxx.
A reduced companion to the Oslo Maxwell City workshop investigating
artistic uses of EM (electromagnetic) substance within Berlin,
Mitte. Participants will build a small variety of simple electronic
sniffing device to actively explore in primarily aural manner the
alternative city space of ghost EM architecture (mobile emissions,
metal structures supporting existent buildings, power and lines of
transmission). EM sniffing is presented as contemporary city flaneur
and divining activity.
