Workshop: A+V = Algorithmes+Visualistes Artist: Douglas Edric Stanley Location: Immédiat, Geneva Date: December 12-14, 2007 After a very pleasant meeting with the professors and students of design in Marseille last friday, I’ll now be traveling back to see my friends in Geneva at the art & design school where I’ll run another three-day workshop. So far, we don’t know exactly where it’s going to go — as always I like to keep it open — but we have decided to work from the perspective of visualist performance. So that will probably mean making visual algorithms that relate to live sound [...]

I’m in the middle of the second of two busy weeks. Last week France Cadet organized an excellent list of speakers for De l’objet de laboratoire au sujet social, and this week we’re working with Christian Graff whom she invited for a week-long workshop on electric fish. Régine Débatty has been posting her notes on we-make-money-not-art over the last few days and should give you a good idea of the highlights of last week (cf. Jens Hauser, Eduardo Kac). We’re only two days into the week-long workshop, so I can’t tell you much about it, but we’ve been working with [...]

My colleague France Cadet has organized an excellent lineup for a week of talks beginning tomorrow at the Aix-en-Provence Art School and ending Thursday at Seconde Nature. It is entitled De l’objet de laboratoire au sujet social, which roughly translates as « From the Laboratory Object to the Social Subject ». In other words, the school will finally be returning to themes introduced by Louis Bec over twenty years ago when it instigated its art & technology program. The speakers are Régine Debatty, Jean Cristofol, Jens Hauser, Beatriz Da Costa, France Cadet, Dominque Lestel, Eduardo Kac, Claude Gudin. On Friday, we will [...]

Most of the images were taken during our 4-hour livecoding performance for [...]

Workshop: Livecode Artist: Douglas Edric Stanley Location: [École supérieure d’art](Livecode, Mulhouse Date: February 26 – March 2, 2007 Public performance: March 1st, 2006. Time to-be-announced When I get back from California, I’ll have a short week writing at home, and then it’s back off to yet another workshop. I had already planned this workshop quite some time ago with Jeff Guess, so I couldn’t put it off any longer. It should be fun. We are going to explore some of the ideas brandished about by the livecoding movement (?), or, uhhh, style (?), ummm, tendancy (?), errrr method (?). We’ll [...]

We’re still waiting for some stragglers, but here are some of the videos we have online from the ENIAROF group on YouTube and the ENIAROF Pool on Flickr. For more information on ENIAROF, read this article by Marie Lechner (Les nouvelles lois de l’attraction, or translated into English: The New Laws of Attraction), or visit the ENIAROF Blog. Most of the electronic work you see here is the result of a two-week workshop using Processing, Arduino, and Wiring. The rest are propositions by various artists and contributors to ENIAROF, for example Dekalko Studio, M2F, or a theatre troupe/military camp from [...]

I’m madly editing videos and posting them on the ENIAROF account on YouTube. When I’m finished, I’ll post them all here. Videos from the other attractions, for example from the AmaZiNg mUd wResTlInG or the Cabaret Cui Cui will be posted by other ENIAROFers on the same account. We have also started an ENIAROF Flickr pool and people have started adding their photos. While you wait for all that wonderful media, you can amuse yourself here with the ENIAROF 0.2 Video Arcade Emulator. You can play it directly online here (link), just scroll down to « ENIAROF 0.2 Video Arcade Emulator » [...]

I’ve just come back home from ENIAROF. As people say here in France, « c’était énorme » (and in fact we heard quite a few people say it on their way out). If you’re anywhere near Aix-en-Provence tomorrow, you really should drop by. 16h00 -> 23h00, and probably later into the night ;-) It costs anywhere from 1€ to 6€, depending on the roll of the dice. And you get a special prize of course if you roll a six. I don’t know how to blog it without sounding full of myself (what’s new, right?), but this year’s ENIAROF is just [...]

Final quick post before the workshop tomorrow… um, crap, look at the time… that would be today. You can find a simple tutorial en français here on how to configure Arduino and Wiring. More examples will follow, of course. processing[11] = “Arduino|Wiring” ; Pour ceux qui seront au cours demain (ou ceux qui veulent suivre en ligne), voici une petite introduction rapide aux cartes Arduino et Wiring. Plus de cours à suivre, comme d’habitude.

Short post for all those who are getting ready (like me) for the ENIAROF Video Arcade workshop which starts tomorrow : I’ve just added a class on how to register noise in Processing and thereby enabling yelling at your computer: processing[10] = “Chanter|Gueuler” ;. This can come in very handy when making video games. Another article should come later (this evening) on the basics of using Arduino/Wiring with Processing.

Yet another in-preparation-for-ENIAROF post. This time we’re looking at a recent series of small video games that inspired us for the design of the workshop. The series is called bitgenerations, and is further proof that Nintendo currently is hovering just about as close as a multinational corporate video game company can to coolness. Just when it looked like the Gameboy platform was on its last legs (well, maybe it still is), Nintendo releases this very elegant, simple and very playable series of more or less abstract games. 3xd matrixes and pixelshaders are totally absent here, we’re talking hardcore pixels. Some [...]

Still in preparation for ENIAROF 0.2, and while we’re waiting for things to start, my collegue Ben Chang over at the Chicago Art Institute sent me to Tale of Tales’ Realtime Art Manifesto [link]. He suggested it in relation to our DOGMeNIAROF, and indeed there are many similarities. But they’ve got even better slogans: « Do not render! », « Be a dictator », « Interactivity wants to be free », and other semantically ambiguous slogans. And then there is the last one, which ties in very well with the whole ENIAROF philosophy: « Develop a punk economy ». In fact, on this last idea is absolutely something [...]

Workshop: Objets orientés-objet (le cas de Hypertable) Artist: Douglas Edric Stanley Location: Haute Ecole d’Arts Appliqués, Geneva Date: 18-21 May, 2005 I just finished a successful 4-day workshop at the Haute Ecole d’Arts Appliqués in Geneva. It’s the second workshop I’ve held there, and my third visit. As always, it was a great pleasure, and I love Geneva. We also got dragged to a few interresting spots in the evening. The original proposal was to take bits of a research proposal (Objets orientés-objet) I had defended at the Aix-en-Provence School of Art that failed to get adequate funding. Finally, we [...]
