[spectre] Turbulence Commission: WoodEar by Peter Traub
Turbulence Commission: WoodEar by Peter Traub http://turbulence.org/works/woodear Bringing the body of the tree to the network is a natural fit -- a tree is a network too: roots sensing and absorbing nutrients, leaves sensing and photosynthesizing sunlight, and phloem and xylem running throughout to carry nutrients across the structure. WoodEar attempts to merge the dynamic qualities of this biological network with the digital network. A series of sensors attached to the tree stream data on the state of its environment -- light, temperature, air pressure, and wind. This live data is merged with photos and recordings of the tree's immediate surroundings into a generative application/installation. By downloading and running the application, anyone can access the live environmental experiences of the tree -- one that may be very distant from them, but that still shares the same air, sun, earth, and sky. WoodEar is a 2012 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for its Turbulence website. It was made possible with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts. BIOGRAPHY Peter Traub is a composer/installationist/net artist currently living in Charlottesville, VA. He completed his Ph.D. in 2010 in the Composition and Computer Technologies program at the University of Virginia. He received his Master's in Electro-Acoustic Music from Dartmouth College in 1999, and has composed numerous works of electronic music, net art, and sound installations. His works have been performed and exhibited internationally and his piece, ItSpace -- also commissioned by New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. -- was featured on National Public Radio's Day to Day in 2008. Between Dartmouth and UVA, Peter lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for five years where he worked as a software developer at internet startups. His dissertation, titled Spatial Exploration: Physical, Abstracted, and Hybrid Spaces as Compositional Parameters in Sound Art, was a series of performances, installations, and a large paper exploring the use of technology-mediated spaces in contemporary music.

[spectre] Radarstation 2 - Call for Tracks
Radarstation 2 – Call for tracks Fantomton is looking for musicians for a sound-project based on samples taken at the abandoned listening station at Teufelsberg Berlin. Link to the call: http://fantomton.de/experimente/radarstation-2-call-for-tracks/ *The Project* The abandoned listening station on the Teufelsberg Berlin has a magical atmosphere. The industrial area with its rusty metal surfaces, broken glass and the unique acoustic in the domes provide a rich repertoire of fascinating sounds which reflect the area’s ambience. We could not resist the attraction of the place and visited it in 2009, equipped with microphones and recording devices. Subsequently the recordings were given to musicians in order to get different interpretations of the sound material. The goal was to translate the impressions of the place into music. The result is the release Radarstation: http://fantomton.de/releases/music/ft001-radarstation Due to great interest and a lot of positive reactions in the recent time, we once more would like to motivate artists to use our sound material to produce new exciting tracks. *How to contribute* The tracks should mainly consist of our samples and reflect the special atmosphere of the area, interpreted by the artists. The resulting works will be presented on our website and will be offered as “Radarstation 2″ compilation for download. There is also the possibility of a CD release. The participating tracks should not be longer than 10 minutes and we would like to receive them in flac format. We will release the compilation under this creative commons license and need your approval [1]. Deadline is the 25. November 2012. *Recourses* You can find our samples in the Fantomon Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9fa44oynahx9bak/lQCZ7PSJdj Click Download - As Zip As a further inspiration we recommend to go for a walk on Teufelsberg or take a look at the numerous pictures of the place. Conversion to flac: http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html *Send us your track* - Goto http://www.dropitto.me/fantomton - Use password: radarstation - Select your flac file and press upload Have fun listening to the samples and producing music. We are looking forward to hear your compositions and thank you in advance!

September 20, 2012. Programmed by Christy LeMaster Reviewed by channeltwo. http://www.furtherfield.org/features/reviews/post-static-realtime-performances-joncates-and-jon-satrom On September 20, 2012, Chicago dirty new media artists jonCates (http://systemsapproach.net/) and Jon Satrom (http://jonsatrom.com/) each presented a performance as an intersection with the exhibition Ex-Static: George Kagan's Radios at Intuit, the Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art in Chicago, IL. Their performances serve as examples of new media employed as a tactic in support of art rather than new media art as a condition represented by infatuation with expensive, new devices.

Nicolae Titulescu nr. 1 (Piata Victoriei), Bucuresti Deschidere: Joi, 04 octombrie 2012, 19.00 After opening party: gasiti detalii la finalul anuntului Curator: Alex Brahim (CO/ES) Participanti: Aggtelek (ES/BE), Anamor (ES), José Begega (ES), Karmelo Bermejo (ES/MX), Zeljko Blace (BA/HR), Lúa Coderch (PE/ES), Bruce LaBruce (CA), Andrés Duplat (CO), Juan Pablo Echeverri (CO), Félix Fernández (ES), Jorge García (ES), Miquel García (ES), Andrea Gómez (CO/ES), Núria Güell (ES), Fermín Jiménez Landa (ES), Lydia Lunch (US), Santiago Monge (CO), R. Marcos Mota (ES), Joan Martí Ortega (ES), Daniela Ortiz (PE/ES), Aníbal Parada (AR/ES), Avelino Sala (ES), Andrés Senra (ES), Daniel Silvo (ES), Toni Tena (ES), David Latorre (ES), Oriol Vilanova (ES) CRITICAL BOTOX in times of 2.0 feudalism, foloseste o linie narativa fictiva cu inspiratie de tip tabloid, pentru a prinde forma intr-o publicatie online si intr-o serie de expozitii, prima dintre ele avand loc la PAVILION in Bucuresti. Proiectul se bazeaza pe un cadru personal, pe relatia prudenta a curatorului cu artistii care activeaza inspirational in mai multe zone sociale utilizand diverse forme de productie sau actiuni politice. Inteleasa ca o practica politica in sine, CRITICAL BOTOX sustine valoarea politica a contactului uman direct, in aceste vremuri confuze ale virtualizarii si dezumanizarii in interactiune co-individuala. Publicatia online utilizeaza estetica revistelor de scandal ca pe un sofism vizual confuz, concentrandu-se pe realitatea continutului, pe mesajele politice ale lucrarii sau pe traiectoria artistului. Acestea servesc, manieristic, ca o legatura conceptuala intre diferite publicatii online si recursurile facilitate de artisti, aderandu-se publicului interesat in explorarea fiecareia dintre ele. Fiecare expozitie, prima fiind cea de la Bucuresti, functioneaza ca un exemplu complex cu proiectie in publicatia online a expozitiei. Fiecare act curatorial reflecta eterogenitatea viziunilor si atitudinilor care rezulta din creatia artistica contemporana pentru a cuprinde spectrul larg al conditiilor politice intr-o lume globalizata. (Alex Brahim) Expozitia va fi acompaniata de o publicatie realizata la finalul actului curatorial, precum si de un o publicatie tip poster/ziar dedicata primei expozitii care va contine structura generala a proiectului, ilustratii si texte de autori invitati. Publicatiile vor fi realizate la inchderea proiectelor pentru a finaliza cercetarea ce se desfasoara in timpul expozitiiloe. Design-ul grafic pentru acest proiect va fi realizat de studioul Los Trini din Barcelona. Alex Brahim, nascut la Cúcuta in Columbia, este un curator independent si manager cultural, stabilit in Barcelona. Aria sa de interes cuprinde teorie, productie, programare, comunicare si activism, si este centrata pe transversalitatea retelelor, cu accent pe codurile culturale si spatiile lor critice de negociere. Conduce alaturi de expertul in marketing Tania Brett, DIBINA (Digital Büro of International Art), o platforma curatoriala independenta , de management cultural si de comunicare relationala. Unul dintre proiectele lor importante este managementul si coordonarea programului pentru Antigua Casa Haiku, un spatiu artistic din Barcelona. El pregateste in mod regulat programe si expozitii independente, colaboreaza cu diverse media si este lector invitat in diferite centre de arta si universitati. Brahim a dezvoltat proiecte la: La Casa Encendida, Madrid; CCCB, Barcelona; Matadero, Madrid; La Capella, Barcelona; Espai Cultural Caja Madrid, Barcelona; Museu de l’Empordà, Figueres; Loop, Barcelona, sau Off Limits, Madrid, etc. In prezent este unul dintre membrii juriului pentru premiile anuale de arta contemporana BCN Producció, din Barcelona, precum si consultant pentru Art Production Factories Program al Ajuntament de Barcelona (Primaria Barcelona).

[spectre] // Announcing the CryptoParty Handbook //
Hey list, //-- We're very pleased to announce the #CryptoParty Handbook (v1). CryptoParties are a global movement in the interests of educating and empowering people to protect their basic human right to Privacy in the age of the Internet. A CryptoParty is an informal gathering where cryptographic, tunneling and anonymity tools are installed and used on laptops, smartphones and tablet computers. Network attack vectors and surveillance strategies are performed and studied such that those at a CryptoParty are presently aware of the risks. The CryptoParty movement began in Twitter less than 2 months ago in response to legal reforms proposed in Australia that would implement state-wide surveillance of all civilian communications in both cellular and Internet domains. There have since been many CryptoParties world wide with dozens proposed from Johannesburg to Calgary.. This 392 page, Creative Commons licensed handbook guides those with little technical knowledge how to protect their privacy in the networked, digital domain. The book was written in 3 days using the BookSprint system at Studio Weise7 in Berlin by a small core group and plenty of help from others. The book can be downloaded here in a PDF format: https://cryptoparty.org/wiki/CryptoPartyHandbook It can be bought in print from Lulu here (at cost price): http://tinyurl.com/9q97uqq It will be available for Kindle and iPad in various E-Pub formats within 48 hours of this email. Visit the CryptoParty website above for updates. //-- Warm regards from Berlin, -- Julian Oliver http://julianoliver.com http://criticalengineering.org signature.asc Description: Digital signature __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
