FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Indexicality of the Intimate Trace
Presentation of Remixes:
Online now at http://www.intimacyandinyerface.net/
Audio and Video Workshops:
Sat 28th April, Room 2E05, Massey University, Wellington
Indexicality of the Intimate Trace is a new project that responds to
the 2006 webcast performance/installation event Intimacy and
In.yer.face (www.intimacyandinyerface.net). This new project
investigates the creation of space for dialogue and participation in
the ever-changing intersection between art and technology. The
project also investigates notions of indexicality - the variation of
meaning according to context - in contemporary digital media
practices.
Indexicality of the Intimate Trace is a two part project involving
both an online presentation of digital remix works, and public
workshops on the real-time manipulation of audio and video. Both
Indexicality of the Intimate Trace and Intimacy and In.yer.face are
curated by Daniel Agnihotri-Clark, and form part of his current
programme of doctoral research at the Massey University School of
Fine Arts.
Presentation of Remixes
Indexicality of the Intimate Trace is proud to announce an online
presentation of new digital remix works. These new remixes respond
to the works presented at Intimacy and In.yer.face. Participants
responded to an open call for remix issued in 2006, and new variant
works were made from digital material that was sourced from the works
in the performance/installation event.
New remixes have been submitted by Emil McAvoy, Aquaboogie, Kea
Folpp, MSISDN, Cathode Ray Nipple, and Marcel Allen. These new works
are now available online at www.intimacyandinyerface.net (follow the
link entitled 'Indexicality of the Intimate Trace').
Audio and Video Workshops
Indexicality of the Intimate Trace also presents two free public
workshops, providing the opportunity for hands on experience in the
manipulation of audio and video. These workshops facilitated by
local practicing artists are tailored to provide an introduction for
complete beginners. The workshops will cover techniques for both
software and hardware based manipulation.
Video Workshop
The 'live video' artist VJ Rex will facilitate the 'hardware' section
of the workshop, introducing the use of DVJs (DVD players designed
for video mixing). The 'live video' artist Dnation will facilitate
the 'software' section of the workshop, introducing the manipulation
of video loops in real-time on a computer, using common software
packages.
Audio Workshop
The scratch turntablist DJ Dars will facilitate the 'hardware'
section of the workshop, introducing the manipulation of audio
signals from vinyl. The Wellington-based audio producer Disasteradio
will facilitate the 'software' section of the workshop, introducing
the manipulation of audio in real-time on a computer, using common
software packages.
The workshops will be held on Sat 28th April, Massey University, Room 2E05.
10am - 1pm: Video Workshop - with VJ Rex and Dnation
2pm - 5pm : Audio Workshop - with Disasteradio and DJ Dars

Background of Intimacy and In.yer.face
Intimacy and In.yer.face was a live webcast performance/installation
event, located in the nexus between art and technology, curated by
Daniel Agnihotri-Clark.
Intimacy and In.yer.face featured simultaneous live performances and
interactive installations, with real-time audio and video signals
broadcast over the internet on 20 July 2006. The event featured an
interdisciplinary selection of local and international artists, with
new works by the globally dispersed cyberformance troupe Avatar Body
Collision (New Zealand, London, Helsinki), the interdisciplinary
artist Kartini Thomas (Wellington), aerialists/actors Pipi-Ayesha
Evans and Rhys Latton (Wellington), and the 'live audio' and 'live
video' artists Damian Stewart and Emil McAvoy (Wellington).
The performance/installation event took place simultaneously at the
old Museum Building, Massey University, Wellington, and at an
undisclosed location in Paris, France, and at the website
www.intimacyandinyerface.net.
