KLab9 Call for Contributions

synnovemathe — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 00:03:16 GMT

KLab9 Call for Contributions
From KnowledgeLab
KLab9:Art - Technology, Authorship and Ways of Living
A weekend gathering for collaborative and creative reflection. 5th - 7th October, 2007 tbc.
Institute for Advanced Studies, Lancaster University, North West England.

INTRODUCTION

The Knowledge Lab is an attempt to provide a collective space for anti-capitalist reflection. It is located at the margin of the university, an institution essentially geared towards the production of knowledge as a resource for corporate interest and as justification for particular constellations of power relations.
This knowledge lab will address art and ways of critically thinking about our world. Within this broad region of enquiry, the lab will encompass notions of life and art as a political commitment, the influence art can exert in politics and how political ideas in turn influence art. It will also address new ways of making art and how this relates to technologies and social changes, and the use of art as an anti-capitalist means to change and fight the system.

We hope that the knowledge lab will not merely address, but also show that art can initiate critical thinking in the various guises outlined above. Our expectations, in terms of the event, and its outcome, are that this be a sharing of creative ideas and ideas about creativity. We hope that it will draw together people with a common interest in art and alternative ways of living, but working in different fields. From this collective thinking we hope that people will be incited to realize, or make manifest, some of these ways of living and thinking creatively when they leave: We will learn from each other.

STREAMS

Like previous knowledge labs the day will be divided into four streams, each will take place in a separate room.

STREAM 1: TECHNOLOGY Free software, art spaces and interfaces, hardware, DIY and recycling/reusing.

STREAM 2: WAYS OF LIVING This stream concerns process, moment and performance. It is the political stream where we will consider primarily imaginative resistance and artivism, but also touch on debates surrounding gender issues, community and cultural production, and personal/political. We hope to see papers touching on initiatives in direct democracy; the art of changing that system, and the paradigms of inspiration. We would like to discuss how artivism will change society, possibles networks of artivists, ways of action.

STREAM 3: AUTHORSHIP Copy rights, ownership, patenting, and appropriation. (Creative commons, Copyleft,...)

STREAM 4: THE ART MARKET (new ways of) curating, spaces (physical and virtual) to show art, ways of making money: Marketing, the means of production, market forces and anti-market forces, the art market, and art and ethics.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Each day will be split into two parts. On Saturday and Sunday morning papers will be presented in each of the four streams, each lasting 20-30 minutes. Papers will be followed by a brief question period of 10-15 minutes. The afternoon will be divided into discussion periods in each of the four streams. During the weekend there will also be a separate space for workshops and performances.
There are therefore a variety of ways to contribute to the weekend. See below for details:

ACADEMIC PAPERS

The list of streams is not prescriptive, it simply outlines some of the issues we envisage arising given the general themes.

Please also send papers on other themes, these will be gratefully considered.

Submit an abstract of no more than 500 words. In addition please enclose a brief biography. Try to make this, along with your paper, as accessible as possible.

FACILITATED DISCUSSIONS (INVOLVEMENT AND SKILLS SHARING)

If you have an idea for one of the afternoon discussion topics that links in with one of the four streams then send in a your idea and think about one of the two types of involvement below:

If you'd like to take a more pro-active role during the conference, you might want to ADOPT a session - that is, prepare it in advance (suggest questions, main issues, reading material etc and propose the length of the session), arrive prepared for discussion themselves, attend it, and participate passionately in the debates.

We also need people to FACILITATE sessions - ideally a session should NOT be adopted and facilitated by the same person(s). Consider that facilitators are usually best if experienced in their task. Any which way, please get in touch.

== WORKSHOPS, ARTWORKS, AND PERFORMANCES ==

These will broadly tie in with one of the four streams above. Send a proposal [Max: A single side of A4], elaborate on: What your contribution will be e.g. a workshop, a performance, an artwork. How long you envisage it taking. Do you need any equipment or materials? Do you want to limit the number of participants? If so, how many? What do you hope will be born out of this? How do you propose to arrive at this end?

SATURDAY EVENING

DJ and VJ session: Call for DJs and VJs to send in samples so they might come and contribute to an evening of art in many guises. As well as other music, visual, perfomance, etc artist and Artivist.
Nb. Groups are welcome to contribute workshops, materials for display and/or distribution.

INFORMATION

Anybody is welcome to attend the weekend, get involved in the discussions, and take part in the workshops. HOWEVER, YOU NEED TO REGISTER TO ATTEND AS THE EVENT IS LIMITED TO 100 PEOPLE, SO PLEASE GET IN TOUCH: klab9art@googlemail.com

DEADLINE FOR ALL PROPOSALS May 1st 2007

fredvanderpoel — Fri, 26 Aug 2005 06:24:10 GMT

In keeping with our efforts to improve the communications among artists, check out the new (beta) GoogleTalk:
To go to the Google Talk download page, visit:
http://mail.google.com/mail/talk/download
I have tested it out and it's better then Skype and it allows you to talk for free to anyone with a GoogleTalk account.
Right now it's only available for those of you who have a regular gmail account, which you can get by invitation only.
If you don't have such an account and no invitation you can email me at fvanderpoel@gmail.com and I'll invite you. You can then apply for GoogleTalk.
It's great and free, the way it should be!

Hi everybody!
Thanks for participating in trying out our new virtual showroom and it's audiovisual technology.
You should all have received your link to the private showroom at ART OF THE AIR. If not, just let me know and I'll catch up with you right away.
It really sucks that it's PC only and not cross-platform yet, but we're working on it. I'm a Mac fan myself since my early days of doing ads with Steve Jobs. Anyway dude, I got a Dell, (hey, free long distance!)
Let us know what you think of your experience and how we can help you make it into a toy that you can actually enjoy for pleasure and for business.
The folks at VCCS have promised that we can have this communications suite all year for free. That means free calls to each other and your folks all over the world. We don't even need broadband. Vonage eat your heart out!
We appreciate your comments!

MAKING MOVIES

fredvanderpoel — Sun, 10 Jul 2005 05:06:56 GMT

THE FUTURE OF DRM.
Rights are overrated!
The so called copyright protection of intellectual property is an exercise in futility. Provided you have standing, you better have money to protect your interests in the courts, which can take forever. If you win, you see a dime on the dollar. Since you cannot copyright an idea, you're merely protecting the execution of an idea. The stated goals of many production companies are to infringe on copyrights and even though they are routinely answered with cease and decist demands, by then the damage is done. No point fighting on, there are no rewards.
The corporate trend among the majors is to intimidate the independent movie makers and their public by bringing out the big guns. They're the guns of Navarone and defeating them can kill you.
Don't be P2Ping the blockbusters.
So what's the future then for the little voices?
What if you have an idea?
What if you want to produce it and make money too?

STEALTH!
Technology will invent itself faster than law. The P2P debate proves that.
Stealth allows terrorists to have a blast. London proves that.
When pea shooters unite they become large visible weapons themselves and they can be defeated. You don't want that!
But STEALTH TECHNOLOGY will allow filmmakers to work under the radar. In and out movie productions will be fleeting on the air while the majors are still in post.
Millions of home bodies will dry their tears online!
The NEW DIGITAL DIRECTORS will replace the dying breed of copy writers. To save time, production assistants will write storyboards after the fact. There will be a rush of actors to become real people again and agents will go to casting calls. Cameras will have satellites and scrambled PayPall encoders built in and weekend revenues will be deposited in tax free accounts in Dubai.
Oh yeah, every independent film maker will have their own broadcast facility. Just like evangelists.
