It's in travel documents, building passes, pet animals, clothing stores, libraries, public pools, theme parks and prisons... and yet only a few of us know what RFID is. RFID (radio frequency identification) uses radio waves to identify people, animals or objects carrying encoded microchips. For government and industry, RFID signifies economic innovation, while for the futurist it marks the next stage in digital connectivity. RFID's pervasiveness will only increase in the years to come, forcing shifts in perceptions of the public sphere and private domain. Alongside the promise RFID brings, there are implications for security, individual privacy and beyond. If it was not already clear, RFID clues us in to the fact that in digital networks, there is no forgetting or memory loss. As such, RFID lends itself both to optimism and fear, forming a microcosm through which a collective, ambivalent relationship to technology is put on display. Recalling RFID centers around this 'invisible' technology with a public seminar, workshops and a smart opera. The program brings together distinctive conceptions of RFID and its uses, reconfiguring discourses as dialogue. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * friday 19 oct | 10.00-17.30 SEMINAR – RECALLING RFID Presentations and debates on RFID and digital connectivity.

[spectre] xxxxx workshop_26_xx Berlin: pickle.el //GNU Emacs as artistic OS
A (more-or-less) weekly series of constructivist workshops emphasising making and connection within the field of the existent. Upcoming: 20 October 2PM: pickle.el: GNU Emacs as artistic operating system. details below Autumn highlights: free software electronics production - KiCad and AVR// printed antenna design part two ... or contact if you're interested in leading a related workshop. //- 20 October 2PM: pickle.el: GNU Emacs as artistic operating system. Although blandly described as a versatile programmer's editor, free software GNU Emacs serves as a prototype for a truly artistic operating system with ready code exposure and political intent. GNU Emacs presents code, in this case the Emacs Lisp language, as interface; extension becomes application and mode of use within a highly textual environment which embraces networked infrastructure and information resources, local and remote shells, and common language interpreters. GNU Emacs branches out spider-style to operate as automated text editor, advanced publishing tool, multimedia authoring environment, mail client, IDE, shell, and mind-mapping system, as well as serving as adventurous exploratory code vehicle. The workshop will commence with the basics of navigation and everyday use (accessing help, moving through buffers), before addressing GNU Emacs as application development environment for artists with simple Lisp coding exercise, and interface to other software such as SuperCollider and PD. The workshop will make use of the http://1010.co.uk/pickle.el file References: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ http://www.1010.co.uk/emacsch.html http://www.1010.co.uk/emacs.html Requirements: Some platform running GNU Emacs 22/23.

[spectre] Zero Gamer exhibition at London Games Festival.
Zero Gamer exhibition at London Games Festival. FRINGE: Lounge Zero Gamer exhibition, London Games Festival. http://www.http.uk.net/zerogamer/exhibition.shtml Open: 1pm-6pm, Monday 22 - Friday 26 October Venue: 01zero-one, Hopkins Street, Soho, London W1F 0HS Free to attend. Zero Gamer looks at games played, unplayed and unplayable, the spectator and the spectacle. Sometimes we just like to watch, and machinima, gameplay videos and spectator gaming events take the activity out of interactivity. Games that play themselves, video documents of in-game performance, game engine experiments and challenging documentaries on gameplay.

The devil makes work for idle thumbs: http://www.http.uk.net/zerogamer/keynote.shtml Zero Gamer. Collaborative, curatorial text by Ruth Catlow, Marc Garrett Corrado Morgana 2007. This is the second exhibition, produced by HTTP Gallery as part of the London Games Fringe Festival to focus on the intersection of media art and games cultures. In 2006 Game/Play, a networked exhibition focusing on the rhetorical constructs of game and play in a media art context, was installed alongside the World Series of Video Games in London. Visitors to the Trocadero moved between the frenzied competition of the WSVG events, part of the mainstream festival, and a more critical engagement with a selection of artworks presented as part of the Fringe. The exhibition comprised of a series of games that subverted the stereotypical genres and an installation of [giantJoystick] by Mary Flanagan which highlighted the spatial and social role of the game interface. Visitors seemed to slip happily between modes of engagement. The meaning of contemporary media art is often crafted by the context in which it is encountered by its audience or participants. The way in which participants interact when engaged (in games and art) remains an important factor for both artists and game designers, gamers and audiences for videogame-art. This provides a starting point for this exhibition. It considers on the one hand, avidly and actively immersed gamers, and on the other, the gamer-in-every-viewer of art games who encounters game modifications, appropriations and detournements as jolts to the mesmerizing flow and illusory worlds of regular game play. They are thereby placed in a more thoughtful and reflective relationship with them. This is the fertile antagonism that informs Zero Gamer. So, what happens when the action is taken out of interaction?

[spectre] Recent Video Art from Germany at Sara Meltzer Gallery NY
Sara Meltzer Gallery presents: Trans Video Express: Recent Video Art from Germany curated by John von Bergen Thursday, October 18th from 6:30 - 7:30pm Thursday, October 25th from 6:30 - 7:30pm Screenings begin promptly at 6:30pm. sara meltzer gallery - 525 - 531 west 26th street, new york, ny, 10001, United States Since its inception decades ago, video art has gradually become a medium that can no longer be labeled unconventional or Avant-Garde. And although the German painting phenomenon has recently been a strong export on the international art scene, conversations continue about other forms of German art, including historical perspectives in video. Having lived in Berlin the last few years I began to notice the possible ways in which cultural languages begin to change when crossing The Atlantic. The idea of sharing some of the current video works that I have recently seen in Germany to an American audience is just one way to open a dialogue about what is happening in this part of Europe at this time. But it would not be fair to suggest that these evenings could offer a comprehensive overview of the video art coming out of Germany (and this is by no means another Biennale). However what is being presented is a small spectrum of projects involving narration, abstraction, found footage, documentation, loud theatrics, poetic discussions, and the breaking of some rules (and maybe even some laws). One could say these positions may not yet be positions. But the videos being presented still become vehicles for making a comment, taking a risk, hitting a nerve, or simply trying to offer a small glimpse at something beautiful. The artists are currently working in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Dresden, Leipzig, Stuttgart, and Karlsruhe, and many will be presenting their works for the first time in The United States. Screening #1/October 18th: In Zweite Sonne (Second Sun), Marc Aschenbrenner struggles across an Austrian landscape, while the helium balloon attached to his costume grows to epic proportion. Kopffüssler (Head Walker), is a brief but climactic situation when the artist wears an over-sized green head, as he jumps, struggles, and reacts violently to a white-cubed room. Roland Schappert (in cooperation with the poet Michael Ebmeyer) delivers us Bar/Vegetation, a short film where a poet’s voice blends over ridiculous chance gestures and facial abstractions of a family being interviewed. In City of Cool, The Dresden-based artist collective REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT(whose German implications range from Cleaning Service to “Purification Society”) work their way through Leipzig’s working class district of Plagwitz, changing street signs into poetic diversions. Locals and passersby are quizzed of the pros and cons of their project, which inevitably opens up a larger discussion about the current problems in Germany. Alicja Kwade's video No Light Left takes a low-tech approach towards a sci-fi production. She creates a universe of tumultuous light-sources as the screen shifts between the familiar and the uncanny. Christof Zwiener’s Brückenbau (Building Bridges) shows the artist’s personal adventure of trespassing through a remote building site with his camera, fabricating perhaps one of the world’s smallest and never-to-be-noticed “public artworks”. Knut Klassen (a former collaborator with John Bock and the artist group Gelatin) creates video works that cannot be so easily categorized as art films, nor as documentaries. In Lis, he has developed a language of conditions that depend on unscripted actors engaging in both private and social rituals. Incomprehensible performances are intertwined with the monologue of a young actress, while revealing glimpses into Berlin’s off-space theatre scene. Screening #2/October 25th: Pablo Wendel re-creates himself as one of the oldest sculptures known to man in his video Terra Cotta Warrior, proving what can happen to an imposter as he attempts to blend in with the other 7,000 warrior statues displayed in North Western China. Eventually Wendel is discovered by confused security guards, yet maintains his inanimate posture as he is dragged off the scene. In Stefan Panhan’s film Sieben bis zehn Millionen (Seven to Ten Million), an androgynous youth speaks to us in front of a slowly paced snowfall, as we experience a rapid-fire monologue (with rapid-fire subtitles) about consumer obsessions. Susan Schmidt and David Buob present Dad's Cellar, where a strange and dreamy dialogue is heard from the artists as double-channeled holiday scenes suggest a serene but chilling nostalgia… a glance at the relationship between individual and space. Wolfgang Oelze’s work Old Painful collects a range of Hollywood moments that deal with cinematic themes pertaining to suicide. Juxtaposed scenes lead us through a labyrinth of contemplations, and create a network of circumstances that suggest desperate motives from

Linteresse del Centro di Documentazione del PAN per la costituzione di archivi darte -e soprattutto per la creazione di una collezione di opere di arte digitale- si accompagna allobiettivo di promuovere riflessioni sulla pluralità di esperienze e sulla soggettività delle ricerche nel campo dei new media. Oggi manifestazioni delle arti digitali attraversano discipline, opere, istituzioni museali, centri di ricerca e documentazione, ma anche strumenti e metodi di comunicazione ed educazione allarte. Questanno il forum internazionaleamplia il proprio ambito dinteresse e si inserisce nel vivo delle iniziative culturali promosse dalla città per la partecipazione al Forum Universale delle Culture di Monterrey. Se la location resta la stessa, i contenuti si sono arricchiti e guardano velocemente in avanti, fastforward: on new media art, verso il 2013, anno per cui Napoli si è candidata per la sede del grande evento promosso dallUnesco. Una scelta, questa, che coincide con la volontà di registrare esperienze ed opinioni informate sullo sviluppo dei processi di produzione, su i sistemi di archiviazione, su approcci curatoriali e progetti espositivi dedicati ai new media arts. In particolare in questa edizione larte contemporanea si fonde con altri linguaggi artistici ed incrocia i temi più urgenti del mondo contemporaneo, intrecciando i suoi linguaggi sperimentali e multimediali e raccogliendo così contributi orientati secondo i 4 assi tematici che rappresentano il cuore concettuale del Forum Universale delle Culture: pace, sviluppo sostenibile, diversità culturale e conoscenza. Le sessioni di lavoro proposte dal secondo forum internazionale fastforward on new media art mettono in relazione le 4 linee di ricerca del PAN con i 4 assi tematici del Forum Universale delle Culture. ** mostra FASTFORWARD ON NEW MEDIA ART: ROBOTS France Cadet, Paul de Marinis, Christian Faubel, Pascal Glissmann e Martina Hofflin, Ken Goldberg, Leonel Moura, Keneth Rinaldo, Robotla 08.11.0728.11.07 a cura di Laura Bardier supervisione artistica Julia Draganovic In occasione del 2° Forum Internazionale Fastforward On New Media Art, il PAN | Palazzo delle Arti Napoli presenta la mostra FASTFORWARD ON NEW MEDIA ART: ROBOTS. Un immagine ricorrente nella società contemporanea è laccelerazione dellinformazione digitale. Alla velocità vertiginosa alla quale la tecnologia evolve e assorbe informazioni, la conoscenza viene trasferita alle macchine intelligenti, in un processo che sembra portarci verso uno stato ibrido postumano. Dallevoluzione esponenziale delle tecnologie dellinformazione potrebbero nascere i mezzi attraverso i quali gli artisti saranno in grado di creare oltre la propria visione e conoscenza. In questa occasione linteresse del PAN è rivolto alle ricerche e produzioni nellambito dellarte robotica. Le macchine intelligenti, una volta un ossimoro, stanno diventando un luogo comune. I robots sono presenti tanto nella scienza e nella tecnologia quanto nelle nostre case, nell'arte, nel cinema e nella letteratura. Sono di crescente importanza in ambiti diffusi come quelli della produzione industriale e dellintrattenimento. E ancora più profondamente, i temi della robotica suscitano affascinanti questioni culturali che coinvolgono filosofi, artisti, scienziati e tecnologi. Sperimentazioni in questo campo hanno una storia che risale agli anni 50 come Sensterdi Edward Ihnatowicz o Cybernetic Serendipityal ICA di Londra, e trovano spazio anche nelle principali

[spectre] War Memorials: Première Circle of Memory, De Balie, Amsterdam, October 23, 20.30 h rs
De Balie - Centre for Culture and Politics, Amsterdam, presents: War Memorials Première Circle of Memory | with director Andrea Oskari Rossini Tuesday October 23 | 20.30 hrs | movie, lecture and conversation | language: English At the occasion of the first Dutch screening of Circle of Memory (Andrea Oskari Rossini, Italy 2007, 60”, English subtitles), De Balie presents an evening on war memorials and the role they play in the politics of memory. In his film, Rossini potrays several memorials that were built by Tito in remembrance of the German invasion of former Yugoslavia in 1941. The memorials, being important actors in Tito’s proud nationalistic retoric after the Second World War, did not only witness the nineties’ brutalities from up close, but were then ‘recycled’ in an ideological way. They became part of the hate raising retoric, that set up the different so-called ethnic-religious groups up against each other. The film analyses the memorials in order to underline the importance of the historical situation which led to their construction as well as the consequences of the changed political and cultural context of the period up to the wars of the nineties. The film will be introduced by historian Frank van Vree (professor of Journalism and Culture, University of Amsterdam). Afterwards, filmmaker Andrea Rossini will be discussing with Francesco Strazzari (political scientist) and Satko Mujagic (Optimisti 2004 Foundation, striving for an Omarska memorial centre). The discussion, moderated by Dragan Klaic (cultural scientist), will elaborate further on the political and cultural forces that (actively) influence the construction of memories, and on the transforming roles of war memorials within changing political contexts. What is the role of memory in the elaboration of conflicts and conflict prevention?
