CYNETart_08 "automatique clubbing"
8 November 2008 | 10pm
The conventional boundaries between VJ, musician and the audience have become part of the past. Nowadays integral software engineering builds the interface between auditory and visual space to create a very special synaesthetic experience. The project aims at satisfying an intensified involvement of the body as well as the audience’s desire to participate in the creation of the music and in the interaction with the musician. Based on a network the audience will be offered controllable effect parameters for the music. Visual shapes, shadows as well as graphic meeting points will be the playground of the dancers on the dance floor. EyeCon and Kalypso will be in top form. If you are, too, this virtually ›sensitive space‹ will go along with you through the night, all “automatiquely” …

CYNETart_08 "camera orfeo"
8 November 2008 | 7pm
camera orfeo" Penelope Wehrli (auto-choreographic composition)
Orpheus leads Eurydice up from the underworld. He is not allowed to look back at her. But he turns around and Eurydice disappears like a dissolving image.
Memory is an active process in which existing information is newly defined for the respective acute context. Remembered images do not describe the past, but rather the present.
Orpheus must turn around in order to constantly re-invent Eurydice.
If he had not looked at her, he would not have drawn her to him, and no doubt she is not there, but he himself is absent in his glance. (Maurice Blanchot, „The Gaze of Orpheus”)
camera orfeo is a spatially expansive auto-choreographic installation that is made up of numerous parallel, partially linked threads: Monteverdi’s „Possente Spirito”/„Orfeo son Io” (9:00), re-edited; moving spatial modules; video projections of a dancer; an endoscopic recording of vocal cords and words from an archive; and the exterior space (live feed of video and sound). Monteverdi’s aria and a short movement succession on video performed by the dancer Junko Wada are cut in sequences and various variations saved in a databank. The audience moves freely within an installation whose spatial modules are in constant motion. The music can be heard from the speakers; some of these are also moving. Via camera tracking the visitors’ movement causes signals to be sent, though they don’t perceive this directly. Specific music or video sequences are thus activated which can then,
in extension, create other levels of images. There will always suddenly be moments when, as a result of spatial constellations, the flow of images and sound that surrounds the performance site will dominate the interior space via a live video and sound feed, and thus erasing Eurydice’s projected image. For a determined time period the sensors then remain switched off before they can be reactivated.
»camera orfeo« is an attempt to transfer the neuronal process of remembering, which is simultaneously a process of new definition and erasure, onto a space. Individual visitors will be confronted with constantly changing new musical and spatially choreographed constellations and contexts as permutations of the given material. Their process of listening and observing will therefore be subsumed under a constant process of remembering. The loop-like character, which is already present in the musical structure of the aria, seems to be endless; but the material is limited. It is used up by the visitors. Their movements determine the end as well as the beginning of the piece. Each performance is unique. »camera orfeo« is a poetically circular system, a microscopic kaleidoscope for images, sound and movement. The piece will have a performance and an installation modus.

CYNETart_08 "Music of Life"
2 November 2008 | 11am
"Music of Life" Music&Science-project of the group of artists PI-XL
»Music of life« is a music&science project of the Pi-XL group. For the first time the models of cellular automata used in biomathematics are taken to generate an interactive music based on the human voice. This opens up new ways for a performative composition!
The »Music of Life« functions similar to a laola wave in a stadium with moving sounds from singer to singer. There is neither a director nor a score, but the development is driven by simple local rules how to react on the neighbours. So for this space time related live composition it is relevant to react on and LISTEN to the neighbours in the choir group.

Post Me_New ID-Forum III
POST ME_NEW ID - FORUM
Festspielhaus Hellerau
31.10. - 2.11.
http://www.postme-newid.net
International media art festival CYNETart_08 held in Dresden, Germany, will host forum
“Post Me_New ID” from 31st October to 2nd November 2008.
The international media art festival CYNETart_08 held in Dresden, Germany, will host the forum “Post Me_New ID” from 31st October to 2nd November 2008. The forum will bring together interdisciplinary practitioners in art, science and technology to discuss in various formats, from keynotes to Quickfires, issues concerning contemporary and future forms of networked creations and multi-identities. Among the speakers and performers there will be Yacov Sharir (USA), Steve Dixon (GB), Masaki Fujihata (JP), Martin Kusch & Marie Claude-Poulin (kondition pluriel, CA), Hellen Sky (AUT), Johannes Birringer (GB/GER), Mika Satomi (JP), Denisa Kera (CZ/Singapur), Michael Takeo Magruder (USA/GB), Sita Popat (GB), Susanne Berkenheger (GER) and many more.
The forum is planned as a platform for reflection on how we are creatively and socially engaged in digital networks, how we perform our online and offline identities, how we have become plural and variable post human bodies. “We are asking ourselves >what is next?< applying the to-be-presented theories to our own cultural/art creating and networking practices”… says Ghislaine Boddington, one of the forum organisers.

FUTURE VISIONS
(what comes next?) – the influences of everyday life on our future to come
In the search for a post me-identity, networking is a central element. As we enter the expanded world of Web 2.0 we enter a place of extended self … we create our online identities, our avatars and our multi-selves and we shift the way of “being” that has dominated.
Today many more people engage creatively with text, video, photography, music and film than could ever have been imagined. Telepresence too is evolving through web cams, alongside online gaming environments where people build their own worlds and their own bodies. How will the child of the future look back on the early 21st century in relationship to the history of identity politics? How will the 8 year old of today work and play in 20 years time?
This last day merges the two themes of networked creations and multi-identity creating a future vision debate that we all need time and space to co-conceive.

CYNETart_08 "Tram.way-Project"
1 November 2008 | 8pm
"Tram.way-Project" Dariusz Makaruk & Katarzyna Justka (audio-visual project)
In their project, Makaruk and Pani K. re-create a pre-recorded documentary movie live, along with performing music and sound effects. The concept of their performance is to create a “cinematic concert” that is half-arranged and half-improvised with fixed counterpoints. The sound layers and visuals are connected through hardware creating a mutually dependent entity. Live capture technology will be used during the performance in order to transform the images live. The performers also use a light-sensitive sensory installation to control the visuals and the sound generated by their specifically programmed Max/MSP software.

MULTI-IDENTITIES
What is the relationship between identity and digital culture? How does the use of digital tools and network potentials shift identity psychologies in Europe in the 21st century?
Are the Western “I” politics of the 1990s still dominant or is there now a space for the “we” potentials of the next generation to emerge and make new multi-identity citizens?
Are intergenerational identity misunderstandings becoming restrictive to the evolution of new processes and new ID politics?
Can a new collective identity emerge in a Europe still emerging from separated systems based in an I/we syndrome? Is the precondition of the self-conception now linked to that of collective identity?
This day will focus on the issues of identity shifts in relation to a new Europe and its digital culture, drawing from the experience of the attendees, and in particular visioning forward to the next generations of young ”Europeans” and the way they will form their (multi-)identities through their work and play in physical and virtual worlds.
Break Out groups:
• New Publics – spectator/creator
How will the creative participation of the audience as players (not just spectators) affect and change artistic processes, the tools in use and the culture created?
• Innovators or Imitators
Where and how do the true innovators come to the forefront? Is there a problem of mainstream imitators plagiarising the innovators, disallowing a true acknowledgement of interauthored cultural processes and output? How can the value chain from the true innovators to the mainstream be recognised and enabled in a fair and encouraging way?

NETWORKED CREATIONS
How will digital and physical mobility affect and interact with the way people create and the aesthetic of the output?
How are new networks based on Web 2.0 services enabling ›temporary autonomous identity zones‹ (TAIZ), that encourage participation, provoke socialization and collaboration, even, if only for short fluid time spaces?
Can inter-authorship tools enable a state of honest collaboration and multi-authorship acknowledgement? How can creative common ideas be developed for future use?
As networks become components of our everyday lives how will our networked identity/ies, practiced in Web 2.0, move from semi-passive to truly active? Will we develop a sense of a collective networked identity? Will identity itself be the main theme of the work to emerge?
This day will explore the physical and digital, the social and work-based networking of creation processes for interdisciplinary artistic and technology projects. The aim is to envision the creative output of generations to come in relation to the emergence of second generation realtime globally networked tools.
