[[Image:Time Mutations - Ana Alenso - Vom Leben für das Leben.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ana Alenso]] &ndash; Vom Leben für das Leben]]<br />
''Vom Leben für das Leben'' was filmed in December 2010 on a beach in Venezuela. The installation is made up of a video projection without audio, a turned on radio receiver placed on a turning record player. The installation tries to rebuild the perception of time from the noise of the radio receiver in a moment that is not only to be understodd as a memento but also as a contemplative and lasting meaning of life.<br />

==[[Stephen Nolan]] &ndash; ''This Desert Was Once A Sea. Mother''==<br />
<br />
19 frames, less than a second of David Leans 1962 epic movie Lawrence of Arabia loop indefinitely. The focus of the work, is a lone rider trapped in an on the spot trot, framed within the relentless unforgiving Arabian desert. The title of the work, could be the words of a poet who places wistfully the momentous changes of deep time and the passing of life from mothers on to sons, in the same single breath. <br />

==Kim Beom &ndash; ''Untitled (News) (2002)''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Kim Beom - Untitled (News) (2002).gif|thumb|right|Kim Beom &ndash; Untitled (News) (2002)]]<br />
1-channel video, 1 min 42 sec<br />
<br />
Kim Beom explores the formation of new relationships between images and concepts through a wide range of media, including drawings, installations, videos, publications and objects. Particularly concerned with ways of ''seeing'' and cognition in relation to sight—the basis of visual art—Kim continuously reveals the tension and conflict between visual perception and false mind. By suggesting images formed on the retina and works that escape from socially normative notions, Kim invites viewers to abandon fixed ideas and contemplate the world from a different perspective.<br />
<br />
Untitled (News) is made up of recorded and re-edited cable television news programs. Working from the basic acknowledgement that television programs represent the fundamental synthesis of visual image and spoken language of our age, the artist breaks them down into syllables and fabricates four stories out of the actual accounts delivered by anchorpersons. The text presents an alternative to the mass media, which has a monopoly on informing us of what takes place in the world and on the personal thoughts of individuals accustomed to viewing the reality exclusively through this controlled lens. Kim uses news, which incorporates images and spoken language, as source material in the construction of his own version of ''news'' and what he believes is ''news-worthy''. The content of Kim’s ''news'', therefore, reveals the nature of mass media, which selects, edits, translates, and criticizes stories about the world while crossing boundaries between fiction and nonfiction, truth and falsehood, society and individual, and public affairs and daily life.<br />
<br />

Kim Beom's work ''Untitled (News)'' was shown at the 51st Biennale in Venice in 2005.<br />

<br />
My perception of time and space was exercised and altered through memory in several long sittings during the creation of this map. During these sittings I literally cut my passageways through space and time from memory. I simply placed my knife at the starting point of a walk and visualized my movements as my tool traced my footsteps. What you see when looking at the piece is a fictional map of the five boroughs of New York City as they exist in my minds eye.<br />

==[[Matthias Breuer]] &ndash; ''Reconstructing the Truth''==<br />
[[Image:Reconstructing the Truth.jpg|right|thumb|[[Matthias Breuer]] - Reconstructing the Truth]]<br />
Nowadays reality is a highly constructed body made up of many different ideas, desires and influences. The biggest reality-producing machine, the media with all its different distribution channels, confronts us with a huge colourfulmoving mass made up of countless pictures and sounds. The question about whether what we see is real or not is neither asked nor encouraged. The catchphrase of modernity is see it and believe it, critical discourse is never held. While in ancient times, following Plato's ideas, reality to some is the dancing of shadows on a cave wall, for us it is the interplay of many differently coloured pixels on flat surfaces. Screens are our viewfinders to the world. Our perception is created by artificial interfaces. The connection between reality and man is created by copper wires and silicon plates. A very fragile umbilical cord highly dependent on those who feed it thus holding the ultimate control.<br />
<br />
Two movies dealing about the question of what is real, [[wikipedia:The Matrix|''The Matrix'']] (1999) by the Wachowski brothers and [[wikipedia:Welt am Draht|''World on Wires'']] (1973, orig. title ''Welt am Draht'') by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, are left to the electronic brain of a computer to create, with its countless circuits instructed by a programmer, a reality partly constructed partly real to explore reality and its constructed nature. The outcome is a formal critique of (mass-)media's reality.<br />

<br />
''underactuation'' is a sculpture/installation that contrasts the measurement and display of time. The face of underactuation displays seconds, minutes, and hours through three horizontal windows. Time is displayed in a linear fashion -- the clock hands appear to move left and right.<br />
<br />
The video projecting the inside of the steel housing reveals the circular motion of the clock mechanism contrasting with the linear display of the face: problematizing these two ''opposing'' ideologies/representations of time as concepts that reveal the potential multitudes of perspective/cosmology.<br />

==Sofia Dona &ndash; ''Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Sofia Dona - Twinning Towns.jpg|thumb|right|Sofia Dona &ndash; Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit]]<br />
The idea of the project was based on the concept of ''town twinning'' (sister cities) whereby towns or cities in geographically and politically distinct areas are paired. The ''town twinning'' concept was applied in the cities of Leipzig and Detroit by focusing on the issue of shrinkage and abandonment. Three examples of that connection were realised. <br />
<br />
For the first connection a split video was created, with two trombonists playing in two abandoned swimming pools, one in Leipzig and one in Detroit, in a way that the music of both trombonists creates a composition.<br />
<br />
The ''twinning towns: Leipzig -Detroit'' project consists of different actions that could be seen as actual actions and symbolical actions. Actual actions can be considered moving from one city to another, transporting, installing, removing, playing music, being involved in the city's life, exploring, finding materials and cooperating with musicians, craftsmen and art initiatives. On the other hand the symbolic action is the twinning, the attempt to transform, through the exchange of materials, buildings of Leipzig into buildings of Detroit and the other way around, transforming in a way the one city into the other. Although the actual action, of the specific installations or events, is visible only to a limited audience (the passers buy, the people involved in the project, etc) the symbolic action aims to the larger image and idea of the twinning of two cities, a wider concept opened up to a lot of questions on what the twinning of towns could mean.<br />

==Angelica Piedrahita Delgado &ndash; ''VideoRed''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Angelica Piedrahita Delgado - VideoRed.jpg|thumb|right|Angelica Piedrahita Delgado &ndash; VideoRed]]<br />
[http://www.videored.org ''VideoRed''] is the product of an investigation that seeks the development of a technological device on the internet that invites users to participate with short videos of no more than 15 seconds, that joined together build a video made of fragments as an exquisite corpse. <br />
<br />
Video = Vidē = first person of verb see in Latin; linguistic trace that points, since its origins,to the relationship of media to the individual. Video as a subjective practice that on the internet sinks in a totalizing blanket of standardized similarities. Although the differences are complex, when analyzing ''the individual'' as a body that sees in a timeframe within a certain discourse. Narrative and aesthetics practices that cannot be seen outside a unique perception shaped by body, time, and space.<br />
<br />
In VideoRed the audiovisual rhetorical figures are connected to each other in the most complex and, at the same time, basic way. A video network apparently connected through a mobile and ambiguous semiotic association, potentially interpreted as a group of empty pieces in search for meaning. Maybe, this is just an associative machine, an ode to interactivity and meaningless playfulness. However, the project focuses on dialogism, as a discourse modality that allows an active sharing of ideas; that can or cant be positioned as structured or vague entities. VideoRed contains videos as microstructures that defeats hermeneutics as others captivated by rhetorical figures.<br />
<br />
Beyond defining a true nature of video image, VideoRed intends to allocate video production and interpretation on individuals. Fragmenting, dissecting,connecting, framing, zooming, panning, borrowing and editing are practices that belong to a person that see how understand and understand how perceive. Video is a technological artifact and at the same time is a way to approach and act in front of and object, subject or topic. That is why this project, rather than concentrating its efforts on a technical machine builds its means in gatherings, workshops and communities. Allowing getting closer to other people through video production. Seeing these productions as presence of and author apparently absent but with a strong formal presence, revealing his eye, discourse and body operating the technological artifact.<br />
<br />
VideoRed invites to participate in the production of video responses of 15 seconds each. This project is a technological device as a pedagogical practice, product of a research project form Javeriana Univerity at Bogota Colombia.<br />
<br />
Since 2009 the group has been organizing gatherings and workshops with people interested on video, that join the project setting rhetorical games and aesthetic explorations. <br />

Images and information saturate daily experience. From newspapers, television, and the internet, life in the 21st century is on information overload. SIGNAL/NOISE addresses this overload of information, and my own attempts to make sense of it all. With messages from the media and from advertising combined with expectations on the part of society and family, how can we find our own place in the world anymore? Drawing from media sources, I create layered images that represent my experience with the world of multitasking, compartmentalizing, and juggling it all. My thesis exhibition includes works made from daily drawings based on internet web searches, social media, and news articles. In collecting these traces of popular media and current events, I create a ''landscape'' of information. What I hope to reveal is the nature of public interest, the publicity of the personal, and the equilibrium (numbness) that results in over-saturation of information.<br />

[[Image:Time Mutations - Adam Laskowitz - Sound-Portrait.jpg|thumb|right|Adam Laskowitz &ndash; Sound-Portrait]]<br />
This work explores the temporal acoustics of the everyday soundscape. By fitting electronics inside of a hat, the wearer exposes themself to a recording of their daily sounds, creating a sound-portrait. The hat records 3 seconds of audio every 20 minutes, in a type of stop-motion fashion. While continuous recording would obviously pick up every sound which the wearer would experience, a disparate capture offers a dense experience of the everyday soundscape. This technique instills a feeling of cyclical temporality during playback. It is both environmental exploration and self-discovery. Leave the hat in one space and hear the cycles of a space, wear the hat for days, weeks, or years and hear the cycles of a life.<br />

==Carl Lee &ndash; ''Last house''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Carl Lee - Last house.jpg|thumb|right|Carl Lee - Last house]]<br />
(2010, 3-channel HD video, stereo sound, 16:30 loop)<br />
<br />
When I first moved to Buffalo, NY I was struck by the everyday beauty of the many single-family homes that make up the city. These iconic, turn-of-the-century houses seemed to have endless interpretation. Each structure with its unique details, angles, and arrangements was like a variation on a theme or an instance of an archetype, with its own singular history handed down from deed to deed.<br />
<br />
At the same time, Buffalo numbers among the many rust-belt cities dealing with decades-long economic decline and its concomitant depopulation. As a result, vacant and abandoned houses abound. Thousands have been torn down and many more await a similar fate. Empty windows stare out from the last house standing on the block. They wait like a question posed, or a reminder.<br />
<br />
If houses are containers for our memories, the structures within which so many minor and major domestic events take place, then each week in this city a collective amnesia grows block by block: a city disappears before our eyes. The demolition of these structures—by design or accident—and the speed, indifference and violence with which it takes place, the transmutations of scale, of space, and even of one's sense of time is breathtaking, tragic, and full of contradictions. Last House is an inquiry, part document, part memorial, into this changing built environment.<br />

==Cayden Mak &ndash; ''Buffalo(ve)''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Cayden Mak - Buffalove.jpg|thumb|right|Cayden Mak &ndash; Buffalove]]<br />
''Buffalo(ve)'' is a multimedia collaborative installation. The lightbox is equipped with an unnamed map of the neighborhood around the [http://www.buffalolib.org/libraries/crane/index.asp Crane Branch Library] in Buffalo, New York, which library patrons are invited to contribute their own names to. During the course of the installation, a new clear layer on top of the map is added every few days to give more people the opportunity to share and contribute, as well as create a literally layered archaeology of names that local people give to the landscape around them.<br />
<br />
Naming is essentially a social practice, and inscribes values and ideas about a place onto the literal physical landscape. A function of conquest, discovery, and historicization, naming places is usually left up to the strongest, history’s ''winners''. However, many places hold secret caches of names — whether they’re what the indigenous people used to call a nearby river, or the name your daughter first gave the grocery store, or a made-up language all your own. Many of these names get lost as people age, die, or move away. ''Buffalo(ve)'' is an attempt to preserve some of the hidden, personal, or inscrutable names that we give to our city.<br />

==Scott Ries &ndash; ''Aceeeh ino rrssstUv''==<br />
Taking the complete Beatles discography as one track arranged in chronological order (that in which they were released), I divide it into 0.1 sec segments (long enough not to produce a consistent tone, short enough to elude recognition), and then arrange those segments in order of their total energy over each of the 0.1 sec segments, from the least to the most. Each segment's first sample is zeroed at the previous segment's last sample, and the absolute value of its energy pointed towards zero. In other words, I rearrange the familiar Beatles chronology into barely recognizable segments following an entirely different chronology, that of the universe (from least energy to most, or from order to chaos), and point it, futilely, toward equilibrium. The complete track is then re-divided into the exact lengths of each album and track, and is released in the same chronology as were the correspondingly-long Beatles' albums (but could be played in its entirety and transferred easily online for an installation).<br />

==Stephanie Rothenberg &ndash; ''School of Perpetual Training''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Stephanie Rothenberg - Perpetual.jpg|thumb|right|Stephanie Rothenberg - School of Perpetual Training]]<br />
''School of Perpetual Training'' is an ironic instructional training program that exposes the underbelly and not so glamorous side of the computer video game industry. Most people associate jobs in the computer video game industry with information-based labor such as 3D graphics and coding game programs. Yet the majority of the industry relies on the sweat and stamina of migrant and low-income laborers working for electronics contract manufacturers in developing countries.<br />
<br />
By following a series of training exercises, participants learn about the precarious employment and unjust labor conditions of workers in the areas of overseas digital game manufacturing and distribution. A virtual ''personal trainer'' created in Second Life leads participants through a series of training exercises that use motion detection and require full range of body motion to play. Rather than using a mouse or joystick, the motion detection demands the participants ''labor'' to complete the training exercises, emphasizing the extreme physical nature and motion economics of these jobs. The individual training exercises recontextualize popular classic arcade games – Dig Dug, Tapper, Space Invaders and Tetris – in order to ''train'' participants for jobs in mineral mining, printed circuit board assembly, box build and global shipping. At the end of the training program, participants can gauge their ''global market value'' to find out how much they are ''worth'' in contrast to white-collar workers in the industry and game company profits.<br />

''You'll find the english version below''<br />
<br />
Seit der Erfindung der Uhr und des Telegrafen sind Raum und Zeit in einen kulturell bedingtem Gleichschritt zusammengeschlossen. Der überregionale Zugverkehr führte zur Standardisierung von Fahrplänen und 1884 zur Einführung von [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12849630 Zeitzonen], deren räumliche Grenzen bis heute das Erleben der Welt bestimmen. Paradoxerweise hatte die Normierung der Zeit den Effekt, die Relativität von Raum und Zeit selbst in den banalsten Situationen zu Tage zu fördern. Von Jetlag über GPS zu der Synchronisation von Uhren, die sich scheinbar mit jedem neuem elektronischen Gerät multiplizieren, scheinen wir ständig in dem Gewässer des relativen und absoluten Raums und der relativen und absoluten Zeit zu treiben. Elektronische Kommunikationstechnologien wie Email und Echtzeit-Videostreams verstärken in unserem Alltag diesen Eindruck und lehren uns die relative Geschwindigkeit und Verzögerung vermittelter Zeit als gegeben hinzunehmen und uns ihr mit neuen gesellschaftlichen Konventionen und anderen ungeschrieben Verhaltensregeln anzupassen.<br />
<br />
Der Drang die Grenzen von Raum und Zeit zu durchbrechen ist von sich aus utopisch: kulturelle und geographische Unterschiede zu entfernen und anstatt dessen eine Gesellschaft zu etablieren in der Kommunikation eingebunden und unmittelbar ist, ist ein immerwährender jedoch schwer fassbarer Traum. Selbst wenn die Motivation dahinter ein starker Drang nach Austausch ist, kann der Wunsch Unterschiede in Kultur, Zugang, Zeit und Sprache in der Gegenwart totaler Gleichzeitigkeit aufzulösen natürlich nie vollständig sein. Übergangsloser bzw. verlustfreier Austausch wird immer von der in ihm enthaltenen Art der Kommunikation, Kultur und Technologie vereitelt. Manipulation von Raum und Zeit durch Aufzeichnungs- und Bearbeitungstechniken könnte letztendlich dazu führen, dass wir Zeit und Ort als bestimmten Zustand wahrnehmen, wobei solche Eingriffe die Erfahrung nie auf solch feste bzw. konkrete Begriffe reduzieren können.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' ist eine Ausstellung neuartiger Kunstwerken die diese Konzepte, Probleme und Potentiale erforschen durch eine Kollaboration zweier Institutionen, die aufgrund ihrer Geschichte ein großes Interesse an experimentellen Medienpraktiken haben. Angehörige des Studiengangs Medienkunst/Mediengestaltung der Bauhaus Universität Weimar und der [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Fakultät Media Study der State University of New York] in Buffalo haben sich zusammengetan um neue Projekte Seite an Seite mit Arbeiten international rennomierter Künstler zu präsentieren und eine Plattform für die Interaktionen der beiden Institutionen zu schaffen. Für diese Ausstellung suchen wir Arbeiten die einen Schwerpunkt auf der individuellen und kollektiven Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit die aus der vermittelten Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit durch Technologie hervorgeht. Von besonderem Interesse sind Arbeiten die das Konzept von Zeit als linear und dem Ort als fest erfolgreich hinterfragen, manipulieren oder auslöschen und damit die Richtung für alternative Erfahrungen und Konstruktionen von Raum, Zeit und Ort aufzeigen. Eindeutig gescheiterte Versuche werden als unausweichlich und interessant begrüßt, zum Beispiel das Scheitern von Technologie oder vermittelten sozialen Interaktionen um Unterschiede in Sprache, Kultur, Protokoll, etc. auszulöschen.<br />
<br />
==Time Mutations: Vertical Horizons==<br />
Since the invention of the clock and the telegraph, space and time have been harnessed to each other in a culturally imposed lock step. Standardizations in train time ultimately led to the establishment of global time zones that persist today in fundamentally structuring our daily experience of the world. Ironically, the standardization of time has had the effect of illuminating the relativity of time and space in even our most mundane experiences. From jet lag and GPS to the syncing of dozens of clocks that seem to multiply around us with every electronic device, we find ourselves constantly adrift in the waters of relative and absolute space and time. Electronic communications technologies from email to live real-time video streaming have intensified this experience in our daily lives, conditioning us to take for granted the relative speed – and lag – of mediated time and space, and to accommodate it with new social conventions and unwritten codes of behavior.<br />
<br />
The desire to collapse boundaries of space and time is inherently utopian. To erase cultural and geographic distinctions, and instead inhabit a community in which communication is integrated and instantaneous is a persistent, yet elusive dream. Even when motivated by a generous impulse toward exchange, the desire to dissolve difference in culture, access, time, place and language in the experience of total simultaneity can, of course, never be complete. Seamless or lossless exchange is always thwarted by the embodied nature of communication, culture and technology. Manipulations of time and space through recording and editing techniques may lead us to perceive time and location as particulate states, but ultimately such interventions can never fully reduce experience to such stable or concrete terms.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' is an exhibition of new artworks that explore these concepts, challenges, and potentials, through a collaboration between two institutions that have historically been deeply invested in experimental media practice. Media practitioners from the [http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/en/media/media-art-and-design/study-programmes.html Media Art & Design Program at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar] and at the State University of New York at [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Buffalo’s Media Study Department] have come together to present new projects alongside works of internationally renowned artists and provide a platform for interaction between our institutions’ physical and research localities. For this exhibition we are seeking works that focus on individual and collective perceptions of space and time emerging from technologically mediated interaction and exchange. Of particular interest are works in which the concept of time as linear or location as static is successfully challenged, manipulated or collapsed, giving way to alternative experiences and constructions of time, space and place. Explicit failures in these attempts are embraced as both inevitable and interesting – for instance, the failure of technology or mediated social interactions to erase differences in language, cultural protocol, etc.<br />

19 frames, less than a second of David Leans 1962 epic movie Lawrence of Arabia loop indefinitely. The focus of the work, is a lone rider trapped in an on the spot trot, framed within the relentless unforgiving Arabian desert. The title of the work, could be the words of a poet who places wistfully the momentous changes of deep time and the passing of life from mothers on to sons, in the same single breath. <br />

==Kim Beom &ndash; ''Untitled (News) (2002)''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Kim Beom - Untitled (News) (2002).gif|thumb|right|Kim Beom &ndash; Untitled (News) (2002)]]<br />
1-channel video, 1 min 42 sec<br />
<br />
Kim Beom explores the formation of new relationships between images and concepts through a wide range of media, including drawings, installations, videos, publications and objects. Particularly concerned with ways of ''seeing'' and cognition in relation to sight—the basis of visual art—Kim continuously reveals the tension and conflict between visual perception and false mind. By suggesting images formed on the retina and works that escape from socially normative notions, Kim invites viewers to abandon fixed ideas and contemplate the world from a different perspective.<br />
<br />
Untitled (News) is made up of recorded and re-edited cable television news programs. Working from the basic acknowledgement that television programs represent the fundamental synthesis of visual image and spoken language of our age, the artist breaks them down into syllables and fabricates four stories out of the actual accounts delivered by anchorpersons. The text presents an alternative to the mass media, which has a monopoly on informing us of what takes place in the world and on the personal thoughts of individuals accustomed to viewing the reality exclusively through this controlled lens. Kim uses news, which incorporates images and spoken language, as source material in the construction of his own version of ''news'' and what he believes is ''news-worthy''. The content of Kim’s ''news'', therefore, reveals the nature of mass media, which selects, edits, translates, and criticizes stories about the world while crossing boundaries between fiction and nonfiction, truth and falsehood, society and individual, and public affairs and daily life.<br />

My perception of time and space was exercised and altered through memory in several long sittings during the creation of this map. During these sittings I literally cut my passageways through space and time from memory. I simply placed my knife at the starting point of a walk and visualized my movements as my tool traced my footsteps. What you see when looking at the piece is a fictional map of the five boroughs of New York City as they exist in my minds eye.<br />

[[Image:Reconstructing the Truth.jpg|right|thumb|[[Matthias Breuer]] - Reconstructing the Truth]]<br />
Nowadays reality is a highly constructed body made up of many different ideas, desires and influences. The biggest reality-producing machine, the media with all its different distribution channels, confronts us with a huge colourfulmoving mass made up of countless pictures and sounds. The question about whether what we see is real or not is neither asked nor encouraged. The catchphrase of modernity is see it and believe it, critical discourse is never held. While in ancient times, following Plato's ideas, reality to some is the dancing of shadows on a cave wall, for us it is the interplay of many differently coloured pixels on flat surfaces. Screens are our viewfinders to the world. Our perception is created by artificial interfaces. The connection between reality and man is created by copper wires and silicon plates. A very fragile umbilical cord highly dependent on those who feed it thus holding the ultimate control.<br />
<br />
Two movies dealing about the question of what is real, [[wikipedia:The Matrix|''The Matrix'']] (1999) by the Wachowski brothers and [[wikipedia:Welt am Draht|''World on Wires'']] (1973, orig. title ''Welt am Draht'') by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, are left to the electronic brain of a computer to create, with its countless circuits instructed by a programmer, a reality partly constructed partly real to explore reality and its constructed nature. The outcome is a formal critique of (mass-)media's reality.<br />

<br />
''underactuation'' is a sculpture/installation that contrasts the measurement and display of time. The face of underactuation displays seconds, minutes, and hours through three horizontal windows. Time is displayed in a linear fashion -- the clock hands appear to move left and right.<br />
<br />
The video projecting the inside of the steel housing reveals the circular motion of the clock mechanism contrasting with the linear display of the face: problematizing these two ''opposing'' ideologies/representations of time as concepts that reveal the potential multitudes of perspective/cosmology.<br />

==Sofia Dona &ndash; ''Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Sofia Dona - Twinning Towns.jpg|thumb|right|Sofia Dona &ndash; Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit]]<br />
The idea of the project was based on the concept of ''town twinning'' (sister cities) whereby towns or cities in geographically and politically distinct areas are paired. The ''town twinning'' concept was applied in the cities of Leipzig and Detroit by focusing on the issue of shrinkage and abandonment. Three examples of that connection were realised. <br />
<br />
For the first connection a split video was created, with two trombonists playing in two abandoned swimming pools, one in Leipzig and one in Detroit, in a way that the music of both trombonists creates a composition.<br />
<br />
The ''twinning towns: Leipzig -Detroit'' project consists of different actions that could be seen as actual actions and symbolical actions. Actual actions can be considered moving from one city to another, transporting, installing, removing, playing music, being involved in the city's life, exploring, finding materials and cooperating with musicians, craftsmen and art initiatives. On the other hand the symbolic action is the twinning, the attempt to transform, through the exchange of materials, buildings of Leipzig into buildings of Detroit and the other way around, transforming in a way the one city into the other. Although the actual action, of the specific installations or events, is visible only to a limited audience (the passers buy, the people involved in the project, etc) the symbolic action aims to the larger image and idea of the twinning of two cities, a wider concept opened up to a lot of questions on what the twinning of towns could mean.<br />

[[Image:Time Mutations - Angelica Piedrahita Delgado - VideoRed.jpg|thumb|right|Angelica Piedrahita Delgado &ndash; VideoRed]]<br />
[http://www.videored.org ''VideoRed''] is the product of an investigation that seeks the development of a technological device on the internet that invites users to participate with short videos of no more than 15 seconds, that joined together build a video made of fragments as an exquisite corpse. <br />
<br />
Video = Vidē = first person of verb see in Latin; linguistic trace that points, since its origins,to the relationship of media to the individual. Video as a subjective practice that on the internet sinks in a totalizing blanket of standardized similarities. Although the differences are complex, when analyzing ''the individual'' as a body that sees in a timeframe within a certain discourse. Narrative and aesthetics practices that cannot be seen outside a unique perception shaped by body, time, and space.<br />
<br />
In VideoRed the audiovisual rhetorical figures are connected to each other in the most complex and, at the same time, basic way. A video network apparently connected through a mobile and ambiguous semiotic association, potentially interpreted as a group of empty pieces in search for meaning. Maybe, this is just an associative machine, an ode to interactivity and meaningless playfulness. However, the project focuses on dialogism, as a discourse modality that allows an active sharing of ideas; that can or cant be positioned as structured or vague entities. VideoRed contains videos as microstructures that defeats hermeneutics as others captivated by rhetorical figures.<br />
<br />
Beyond defining a true nature of video image, VideoRed intends to allocate video production and interpretation on individuals. Fragmenting, dissecting,connecting, framing, zooming, panning, borrowing and editing are practices that belong to a person that see how understand and understand how perceive. Video is a technological artifact and at the same time is a way to approach and act in front of and object, subject or topic. That is why this project, rather than concentrating its efforts on a technical machine builds its means in gatherings, workshops and communities. Allowing getting closer to other people through video production. Seeing these productions as presence of and author apparently absent but with a strong formal presence, revealing his eye, discourse and body operating the technological artifact.<br />
<br />
VideoRed invites to participate in the production of video responses of 15 seconds each. This project is a technological device as a pedagogical practice, product of a research project form Javeriana Univerity at Bogota Colombia.<br />
<br />
Since 2009 the group has been organizing gatherings and workshops with people interested on video, that join the project setting rhetorical games and aesthetic explorations. <br />

Images and information saturate daily experience. From newspapers, television, and the internet, life in the 21st century is on information overload. SIGNAL/NOISE addresses this overload of information, and my own attempts to make sense of it all. With messages from the media and from advertising combined with expectations on the part of society and family, how can we find our own place in the world anymore? Drawing from media sources, I create layered images that represent my experience with the world of multitasking, compartmentalizing, and juggling it all. My thesis exhibition includes works made from daily drawings based on internet web searches, social media, and news articles. In collecting these traces of popular media and current events, I create a ''landscape'' of information. What I hope to reveal is the nature of public interest, the publicity of the personal, and the equilibrium (numbness) that results in over-saturation of information.<br />

This work explores the temporal acoustics of the everyday soundscape. By fitting electronics inside of a hat, the wearer exposes themself to a recording of their daily sounds, creating a sound-portrait. The hat records 3 seconds of audio every 20 minutes, in a type of stop-motion fashion. While continuous recording would obviously pick up every sound which the wearer would experience, a disparate capture offers a dense experience of the everyday soundscape. This technique instills a feeling of cyclical temporality during playback. It is both environmental exploration and self-discovery. Leave the hat in one space and hear the cycles of a space, wear the hat for days, weeks, or years and hear the cycles of a life.<br />

[[Image:Time Mutations - Carl Lee - Last house.jpg|thumb|right|Carl Lee - Last house]]<br />
(2010, 3-channel HD video, stereo sound, 16:30 loop)<br />
<br />
When I first moved to Buffalo, NY I was struck by the everyday beauty of the many single-family homes that make up the city. These iconic, turn-of-the-century houses seemed to have endless interpretation. Each structure with its unique details, angles, and arrangements was like a variation on a theme or an instance of an archetype, with its own singular history handed down from deed to deed.<br />
<br />
At the same time, Buffalo numbers among the many rust-belt cities dealing with decades-long economic decline and its concomitant depopulation. As a result, vacant and abandoned houses abound. Thousands have been torn down and many more await a similar fate. Empty windows stare out from the last house standing on the block. They wait like a question posed, or a reminder.<br />
<br />
If houses are containers for our memories, the structures within which so many minor and major domestic events take place, then each week in this city a collective amnesia grows block by block: a city disappears before our eyes. The demolition of these structures—by design or accident—and the speed, indifference and violence with which it takes place, the transmutations of scale, of space, and even of one's sense of time is breathtaking, tragic, and full of contradictions. Last House is an inquiry, part document, part memorial, into this changing built environment.<br />

''Buffalo(ve)'' is a multimedia collaborative installation. The lightbox is equipped with an unnamed map of the neighborhood around the [http://www.buffalolib.org/libraries/crane/index.asp Crane Branch Library] in Buffalo, New York, which library patrons are invited to contribute their own names to. During the course of the installation, a new clear layer on top of the map is added every few days to give more people the opportunity to share and contribute, as well as create a literally layered archaeology of names that local people give to the landscape around them.<br />
<br />
Naming is essentially a social practice, and inscribes values and ideas about a place onto the literal physical landscape. A function of conquest, discovery, and historicization, naming places is usually left up to the strongest, history’s ''winners''. However, many places hold secret caches of names — whether they’re what the indigenous people used to call a nearby river, or the name your daughter first gave the grocery store, or a made-up language all your own. Many of these names get lost as people age, die, or move away. ''Buffalo(ve)'' is an attempt to preserve some of the hidden, personal, or inscrutable names that we give to our city.<br />

Taking the complete Beatles discography as one track arranged in chronological order (that in which they were released), I divide it into 0.1 sec segments (long enough not to produce a consistent tone, short enough to elude recognition), and then arrange those segments in order of their total energy over each of the 0.1 sec segments, from the least to the most. Each segment's first sample is zeroed at the previous segment's last sample, and the absolute value of its energy pointed towards zero. In other words, I rearrange the familiar Beatles chronology into barely recognizable segments following an entirely different chronology, that of the universe (from least energy to most, or from order to chaos), and point it, futilely, toward equilibrium. The complete track is then re-divided into the exact lengths of each album and track, and is released in the same chronology as were the correspondingly-long Beatles' albums (but could be played in its entirety and transferred easily online for an installation).<br />

''School of Perpetual Training'' is an ironic instructional training program that exposes the underbelly and not so glamorous side of the computer video game industry. Most people associate jobs in the computer video game industry with information-based labor such as 3D graphics and coding game programs. Yet the majority of the industry relies on the sweat and stamina of migrant and low-income laborers working for electronics contract manufacturers in developing countries.<br />
<br />
By following a series of training exercises, participants learn about the precarious employment and unjust labor conditions of workers in the areas of overseas digital game manufacturing and distribution. A virtual ''personal trainer'' created in Second Life leads participants through a series of training exercises that use motion detection and require full range of body motion to play. Rather than using a mouse or joystick, the motion detection demands the participants ''labor'' to complete the training exercises, emphasizing the extreme physical nature and motion economics of these jobs. The individual training exercises recontextualize popular classic arcade games – Dig Dug, Tapper, Space Invaders and Tetris – in order to ''train'' participants for jobs in mineral mining, printed circuit board assembly, box build and global shipping. At the end of the training program, participants can gauge their ''global market value'' to find out how much they are ''worth'' in contrast to white-collar workers in the industry and game company profits.<br />

<br />
Seit der Erfindung der Uhr und des Telegrafen sind Raum und Zeit in einen kulturell bedingtem Gleichschritt zusammengeschlossen. Der überregionale Zugverkehr führte zur Standardisierung von Fahrplänen und 1884 zur Einführung von [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12849630 Zeitzonen], deren räumliche Grenzen bis heute das Erleben der Welt bestimmen. Paradoxerweise hatte die Normierung der Zeit den Effekt, die Relativität von Raum und Zeit selbst in den banalsten Situationen zu Tage zu fördern. Von Jetlag über GPS zu der Synchronisation von Uhren, die sich scheinbar mit jedem neuem elektronischen Gerät multiplizieren, scheinen wir ständig in dem Gewässer des relativen und absoluten Raums und der relativen und absoluten Zeit zu treiben. Elektronische Kommunikationstechnologien wie Email und Echtzeit-Videostreams verstärken in unserem Alltag diesen Eindruck und lehren uns die relative Geschwindigkeit und Verzögerung vermittelter Zeit als gegeben hinzunehmen und uns ihr mit neuen gesellschaftlichen Konventionen und anderen ungeschrieben Verhaltensregeln anzupassen.<br />
<br />
Der Drang die Grenzen von Raum und Zeit zu durchbrechen ist von sich aus utopisch: kulturelle und geographische Unterschiede zu entfernen und anstatt dessen eine Gesellschaft zu etablieren in der Kommunikation eingebunden und unmittelbar ist, ist ein immerwährender jedoch schwer fassbarer Traum. Selbst wenn die Motivation dahinter ein starker Drang nach Austausch ist, kann der Wunsch Unterschiede in Kultur, Zugang, Zeit und Sprache in der Gegenwart totaler Gleichzeitigkeit aufzulösen natürlich nie vollständig sein. Übergangsloser bzw. verlustfreier Austausch wird immer von der in ihm enthaltenen Art der Kommunikation, Kultur und Technologie vereitelt. Manipulation von Raum und Zeit durch Aufzeichnungs- und Bearbeitungstechniken könnte letztendlich dazu führen, dass wir Zeit und Ort als bestimmten Zustand wahrnehmen, wobei solche Eingriffe die Erfahrung nie auf solch feste bzw. konkrete Begriffe reduzieren können.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' ist eine Ausstellung neuartiger Kunstwerken die diese Konzepte, Probleme und Potentiale erforschen durch eine Kollaboration zweier Institutionen, die aufgrund ihrer Geschichte ein großes Interesse an experimentellen Medienpraktiken haben. Angehörige des Studiengangs Medienkunst/Mediengestaltung der Bauhaus Universität Weimar und der [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Fakultät Media Study der State University of New York] in Buffalo haben sich zusammengetan um neue Projekte Seite an Seite mit Arbeiten international rennomierter Künstler zu präsentieren und eine Plattform für die Interaktionen der beiden Institutionen zu schaffen. Für diese Ausstellung suchen wir Arbeiten die einen Schwerpunkt auf der individuellen und kollektiven Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit die aus der vermittelten Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit durch Technologie hervorgeht. Von besonderem Interesse sind Arbeiten die das Konzept von Zeit als linear und dem Ort als fest erfolgreich hinterfragen, manipulieren oder auslöschen und damit die Richtung für alternative Erfahrungen und Konstruktionen von Raum, Zeit und Ort aufzeigen. Eindeutig gescheiterte Versuche werden als unausweichlich und interessant begrüßt, zum Beispiel das Scheitern von Technologie oder vermittelten sozialen Interaktionen um Unterschiede in Sprache, Kultur, Protokoll, etc. auszulöschen.<br />
<br />
==Time Mutations: Vertical Horizons==<br />
Since the invention of the clock and the telegraph, space and time have been harnessed to each other in a culturally imposed lock step. Standardizations in train time ultimately led to the establishment of global time zones that persist today in fundamentally structuring our daily experience of the world. Ironically, the standardization of time has had the effect of illuminating the relativity of time and space in even our most mundane experiences. From jet lag and GPS to the syncing of dozens of clocks that seem to multiply around us with every electronic device, we find ourselves constantly adrift in the waters of relative and absolute space and time. Electronic communications technologies from email to live real-time video streaming have intensified this experience in our daily lives, conditioning us to take for granted the relative speed – and lag – of mediated time and space, and to accommodate it with new social conventions and unwritten codes of behavior.<br />
<br />
The desire to collapse boundaries of space and time is inherently utopian. To erase cultural and geographic distinctions, and instead inhabit a community in which communication is integrated and instantaneous is a persistent, yet elusive dream. Even when motivated by a generous impulse toward exchange, the desire to dissolve difference in culture, access, time, place and language in the experience of total simultaneity can, of course, never be complete. Seamless or lossless exchange is always thwarted by the embodied nature of communication, culture and technology. Manipulations of time and space through recording and editing techniques may lead us to perceive time and location as particulate states, but ultimately such interventions can never fully reduce experience to such stable or concrete terms.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' is an exhibition of new artworks that explore these concepts, challenges, and potentials, through a collaboration between two institutions that have historically been deeply invested in experimental media practice. Media practitioners from the [http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/en/media/media-art-and-design/study-programmes.html Media Art & Design Program at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar] and at the State University of New York at [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Buffalo’s Media Study Department] have come together to present new projects alongside works of internationally renowned artists and provide a platform for interaction between our institutions’ physical and research localities. For this exhibition we are seeking works that focus on individual and collective perceptions of space and time emerging from technologically mediated interaction and exchange. Of particular interest are works in which the concept of time as linear or location as static is successfully challenged, manipulated or collapsed, giving way to alternative experiences and constructions of time, space and place. Explicit failures in these attempts are embraced as both inevitable and interesting – for instance, the failure of technology or mediated social interactions to erase differences in language, cultural protocol, etc.<br />

1-channel video, 1 min 42 sec<br />
<br />
Kim Beom explores the formation of new relationships between images and concepts through a wide range of media, including drawings, installations, videos, publications and objects. Particularly concerned with ways of ''seeing'' and cognition in relation to sight—the basis of visual art—Kim continuously reveals the tension and conflict between visual perception and false mind. By suggesting images formed on the retina and works that escape from socially normative notions, Kim invites viewers to abandon fixed ideas and contemplate the world from a different perspective.<br />
<br />
Untitled (News) is made up of recorded and re-edited cable television news programs. Working from the basic acknowledgement that television programs represent the fundamental synthesis of visual image and spoken language of our age, the artist breaks them down into syllables and fabricates four stories out of the actual accounts delivered by anchorpersons. The text presents an alternative to the mass media, which has a monopoly on informing us of what takes place in the world and on the personal thoughts of individuals accustomed to viewing the reality exclusively through this controlled lens. Kim uses news, which incorporates images and spoken language, as source material in the construction of his own version of ''news'' and what he believes is ''news-worthy''. The content of Kim’s ''news'', therefore, reveals the nature of mass media, which selects, edits, translates, and criticizes stories about the world while crossing boundaries between fiction and nonfiction, truth and falsehood, society and individual, and public affairs and daily life.<br />

[[Image:Reconstructing the Truth.jpg|right|thumb|[[Matthias Breuer]] - Reconstructing the Truth]]<br />
Nowadays reality is a highly constructed body made up of many different ideas, desires and influences. The biggest reality-producing machine, the media with all its different distribution channels, confronts us with a huge colourfulmoving mass made up of countless pictures and sounds. The question about whether what we see is real or not is neither asked nor encouraged. The catchphrase of modernity is see it and believe it, critical discourse is never held. While in ancient times, following Plato's ideas, reality to some is the dancing of shadows on a cave wall, for us it is the interplay of many differently coloured pixels on flat surfaces. Screens are our viewfinders to the world. Our perception is created by artificial interfaces. The connection between reality and man is created by copper wires and silicon plates. A very fragile umbilical cord highly dependent on those who feed it thus holding the ultimate control.<br />
<br />
Two movies dealing about the question of what is real, [[wikipedia:The Matrix|''The Matrix'']] (1999) by the Wachowski brothers and [[wikipedia:Welt am Draht|''World on Wires'']] (1973, orig. title ''Welt am Draht'') by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, are left to the electronic brain of a computer to create, with its countless circuits instructed by a programmer, a reality partly constructed partly real to explore reality and its constructed nature. The outcome is a formal critique of (mass-)media's reality.<br />

<br />
''underactuation'' is a sculpture/installation that contrasts the measurement and display of time. The face of underactuation displays seconds, minutes, and hours through three horizontal windows. Time is displayed in a linear fashion -- the clock hands appear to move left and right.<br />
<br />
The video projecting the inside of the steel housing reveals the circular motion of the clock mechanism contrasting with the linear display of the face: problematizing these two ''opposing'' ideologies/representations of time as concepts that reveal the potential multitudes of perspective/cosmology.<br />

==Sofia Dona &ndash; ''Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Sofia Dona - Twinning Towns.jpg|thumb|right|Sofia Dona &ndash; Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit]]<br />
The idea of the project was based on the concept of ''town twinning'' (sister cities) whereby towns or cities in geographically and politically distinct areas are paired. The ''town twinning'' concept was applied in the cities of Leipzig and Detroit by focusing on the issue of shrinkage and abandonment. Three examples of that connection were realised. <br />
<br />
For the first connection a split video was created, with two trombonists playing in two abandoned swimming pools, one in Leipzig and one in Detroit, in a way that the music of both trombonists creates a composition.<br />
<br />
The ''twinning towns: Leipzig -Detroit'' project consists of different actions that could be seen as actual actions and symbolical actions. Actual actions can be considered moving from one city to another, transporting, installing, removing, playing music, being involved in the city's life, exploring, finding materials and cooperating with musicians, craftsmen and art initiatives. On the other hand the symbolic action is the twinning, the attempt to transform, through the exchange of materials, buildings of Leipzig into buildings of Detroit and the other way around, transforming in a way the one city into the other. Although the actual action, of the specific installations or events, is visible only to a limited audience (the passers buy, the people involved in the project, etc) the symbolic action aims to the larger image and idea of the twinning of two cities, a wider concept opened up to a lot of questions on what the twinning of towns could mean.<br />

[[Image:Time Mutations - Angelica Piedrahita Delgado - VideoRed.jpg|thumb|right|Angelica Piedrahita Delgado &ndash; VideoRed]]<br />
[http://www.videored.org ''VideoRed''] is the product of an investigation that seeks the development of a technological device on the internet that invites users to participate with short videos of no more than 15 seconds, that joined together build a video made of fragments as an exquisite corpse. <br />
<br />
Video = Vidē = first person of verb see in Latin; linguistic trace that points, since its origins,to the relationship of media to the individual. Video as a subjective practice that on the internet sinks in a totalizing blanket of standardized similarities. Although the differences are complex, when analyzing ''the individual'' as a body that sees in a timeframe within a certain discourse. Narrative and aesthetics practices that cannot be seen outside a unique perception shaped by body, time, and space.<br />
<br />
In VideoRed the audiovisual rhetorical figures are connected to each other in the most complex and, at the same time, basic way. A video network apparently connected through a mobile and ambiguous semiotic association, potentially interpreted as a group of empty pieces in search for meaning. Maybe, this is just an associative machine, an ode to interactivity and meaningless playfulness. However, the project focuses on dialogism, as a discourse modality that allows an active sharing of ideas; that can or cant be positioned as structured or vague entities. VideoRed contains videos as microstructures that defeats hermeneutics as others captivated by rhetorical figures.<br />
<br />
Beyond defining a true nature of video image, VideoRed intends to allocate video production and interpretation on individuals. Fragmenting, dissecting,connecting, framing, zooming, panning, borrowing and editing are practices that belong to a person that see how understand and understand how perceive. Video is a technological artifact and at the same time is a way to approach and act in front of and object, subject or topic. That is why this project, rather than concentrating its efforts on a technical machine builds its means in gatherings, workshops and communities. Allowing getting closer to other people through video production. Seeing these productions as presence of and author apparently absent but with a strong formal presence, revealing his eye, discourse and body operating the technological artifact.<br />
<br />
VideoRed invites to participate in the production of video responses of 15 seconds each. This project is a technological device as a pedagogical practice, product of a research project form Javeriana Univerity at Bogota Colombia.<br />
<br />
Since 2009 the group has been organizing gatherings and workshops with people interested on video, that join the project setting rhetorical games and aesthetic explorations. <br />

Images and information saturate daily experience. From newspapers, television, and the internet, life in the 21st century is on information overload. SIGNAL/NOISE addresses this overload of information, and my own attempts to make sense of it all. With messages from the media and from advertising combined with expectations on the part of society and family, how can we find our own place in the world anymore? Drawing from media sources, I create layered images that represent my experience with the world of multitasking, compartmentalizing, and juggling it all. My thesis exhibition includes works made from daily drawings based on internet web searches, social media, and news articles. In collecting these traces of popular media and current events, I create a ''landscape'' of information. What I hope to reveal is the nature of public interest, the publicity of the personal, and the equilibrium (numbness) that results in over-saturation of information.<br />

This work explores the temporal acoustics of the everyday soundscape. By fitting electronics inside of a hat, the wearer exposes themself to a recording of their daily sounds, creating a sound-portrait. The hat records 3 seconds of audio every 20 minutes, in a type of stop-motion fashion. While continuous recording would obviously pick up every sound which the wearer would experience, a disparate capture offers a dense experience of the everyday soundscape. This technique instills a feeling of cyclical temporality during playback. It is both environmental exploration and self-discovery. Leave the hat in one space and hear the cycles of a space, wear the hat for days, weeks, or years and hear the cycles of a life.<br />

[[Image:Time Mutations - Carl Lee - Last house.jpg|thumb|right|Carl Lee - Last house]]<br />
(2010, 3-channel HD video, stereo sound, 16:30 loop)<br />
<br />
When I first moved to Buffalo, NY I was struck by the everyday beauty of the many single-family homes that make up the city. These iconic, turn-of-the-century houses seemed to have endless interpretation. Each structure with its unique details, angles, and arrangements was like a variation on a theme or an instance of an archetype, with its own singular history handed down from deed to deed.<br />
<br />
At the same time, Buffalo numbers among the many rust-belt cities dealing with decades-long economic decline and its concomitant depopulation. As a result, vacant and abandoned houses abound. Thousands have been torn down and many more await a similar fate. Empty windows stare out from the last house standing on the block. They wait like a question posed, or a reminder.<br />
<br />
If houses are containers for our memories, the structures within which so many minor and major domestic events take place, then each week in this city a collective amnesia grows block by block: a city disappears before our eyes. The demolition of these structures—by design or accident—and the speed, indifference and violence with which it takes place, the transmutations of scale, of space, and even of one's sense of time is breathtaking, tragic, and full of contradictions. Last House is an inquiry, part document, part memorial, into this changing built environment.<br />

[[Image:Time Mutations - Cayden Mak - Buffalove.jpg|thumb|right|Cayden Mak &ndash; Buffalove]]<br />
''Buffalo(ve)'' is a multimedia collaborative installation. The lightbox is equipped with an unnamed map of the neighborhood around the [http://www.buffalolib.org/libraries/crane/index.asp Crane Branch Library] in Buffalo, New York, which library patrons are invited to contribute their own names to. During the course of the installation, a new clear layer on top of the map is added every few days to give more people the opportunity to share and contribute, as well as create a literally layered archaeology of names that local people give to the landscape around them.<br />
<br />
Naming is essentially a social practice, and inscribes values and ideas about a place onto the literal physical landscape. A function of conquest, discovery, and historicization, naming places is usually left up to the strongest, history’s ''winners''. However, many places hold secret caches of names — whether they’re what the indigenous people used to call a nearby river, or the name your daughter first gave the grocery store, or a made-up language all your own. Many of these names get lost as people age, die, or move away. ''Buffalo(ve)'' is an attempt to preserve some of the hidden, personal, or inscrutable names that we give to our city.<br />

==Scott Ries &ndash; ''Aceeeh ino rrssstUv''==<br />
Taking the complete Beatles discography as one track arranged in chronological order (that in which they were released), I divide it into 0.1 sec segments (long enough not to produce a consistent tone, short enough to elude recognition), and then arrange those segments in order of their total energy over each of the 0.1 sec segments, from the least to the most. Each segment's first sample is zeroed at the previous segment's last sample, and the absolute value of its energy pointed towards zero. In other words, I rearrange the familiar Beatles chronology into barely recognizable segments following an entirely different chronology, that of the universe (from least energy to most, or from order to chaos), and point it, futilely, toward equilibrium. The complete track is then re-divided into the exact lengths of each album and track, and is released in the same chronology as were the correspondingly-long Beatles' albums (but could be played in its entirety and transferred easily online for an installation).<br />

[[Image:Time Mutations - Stephanie Rothenberg - Perpetual.jpg|thumb|right|Stephanie Rothenberg - School of Perpetual Training]]<br />
''School of Perpetual Training'' is an ironic instructional training program that exposes the underbelly and not so glamorous side of the computer video game industry. Most people associate jobs in the computer video game industry with information-based labor such as 3D graphics and coding game programs. Yet the majority of the industry relies on the sweat and stamina of migrant and low-income laborers working for electronics contract manufacturers in developing countries.<br />
<br />
By following a series of training exercises, participants learn about the precarious employment and unjust labor conditions of workers in the areas of overseas digital game manufacturing and distribution. A virtual ''personal trainer'' created in Second Life leads participants through a series of training exercises that use motion detection and require full range of body motion to play. Rather than using a mouse or joystick, the motion detection demands the participants ''labor'' to complete the training exercises, emphasizing the extreme physical nature and motion economics of these jobs. The individual training exercises recontextualize popular classic arcade games – Dig Dug, Tapper, Space Invaders and Tetris – in order to ''train'' participants for jobs in mineral mining, printed circuit board assembly, box build and global shipping. At the end of the training program, participants can gauge their ''global market value'' to find out how much they are ''worth'' in contrast to white-collar workers in the industry and game company profits.<br />

<br />
Seit der Erfindung der Uhr und des Telegrafen sind Raum und Zeit in einen kulturell bedingtem Gleichschritt zusammengeschlossen. Der überregionale Zugverkehr führte zur Standardisierung von Fahrplänen und 1884 zur Einführung von [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12849630 Zeitzonen], deren räumliche Grenzen bis heute das Erleben der Welt bestimmen. Paradoxerweise hatte die Normierung der Zeit den Effekt, die Relativität von Raum und Zeit selbst in den banalsten Situationen zu Tage zu fördern. Von Jetlag über GPS zu der Synchronisation von Uhren, die sich scheinbar mit jedem neuem elektronischen Gerät multiplizieren, scheinen wir ständig in dem Gewässer des relativen und absoluten Raums und der relativen und absoluten Zeit zu treiben. Elektronische Kommunikationstechnologien wie Email und Echtzeit-Videostreams verstärken in unserem Alltag diesen Eindruck und lehren uns die relative Geschwindigkeit und Verzögerung vermittelter Zeit als gegeben hinzunehmen und uns ihr mit neuen gesellschaftlichen Konventionen und anderen ungeschrieben Verhaltensregeln anzupassen.<br />
<br />
Der Drang die Grenzen von Raum und Zeit zu durchbrechen ist von sich aus utopisch: kulturelle und geographische Unterschiede zu entfernen und anstatt dessen eine Gesellschaft zu etablieren in der Kommunikation eingebunden und unmittelbar ist, ist ein immerwährender jedoch schwer fassbarer Traum. Selbst wenn die Motivation dahinter ein starker Drang nach Austausch ist, kann der Wunsch Unterschiede in Kultur, Zugang, Zeit und Sprache in der Gegenwart totaler Gleichzeitigkeit aufzulösen natürlich nie vollständig sein. Übergangsloser bzw. verlustfreier Austausch wird immer von der in ihm enthaltenen Art der Kommunikation, Kultur und Technologie vereitelt. Manipulation von Raum und Zeit durch Aufzeichnungs- und Bearbeitungstechniken könnte letztendlich dazu führen, dass wir Zeit und Ort als bestimmten Zustand wahrnehmen, wobei solche Eingriffe die Erfahrung nie auf solch feste bzw. konkrete Begriffe reduzieren können.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' ist eine Ausstellung neuartiger Kunstwerken die diese Konzepte, Probleme und Potentiale erforschen durch eine Kollaboration zweier Institutionen, die aufgrund ihrer Geschichte ein großes Interesse an experimentellen Medienpraktiken haben. Angehörige des Studiengangs Medienkunst/Mediengestaltung der Bauhaus Universität Weimar und der [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Fakultät Media Study der State University of New York] in Buffalo haben sich zusammengetan um neue Projekte Seite an Seite mit Arbeiten international rennomierter Künstler zu präsentieren und eine Plattform für die Interaktionen der beiden Institutionen zu schaffen. Für diese Ausstellung suchen wir Arbeiten die einen Schwerpunkt auf der individuellen und kollektiven Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit die aus der vermittelten Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit durch Technologie hervorgeht. Von besonderem Interesse sind Arbeiten die das Konzept von Zeit als linear und dem Ort als fest erfolgreich hinterfragen, manipulieren oder auslöschen und damit die Richtung für alternative Erfahrungen und Konstruktionen von Raum, Zeit und Ort aufzeigen. Eindeutig gescheiterte Versuche werden als unausweichlich und interessant begrüßt, zum Beispiel das Scheitern von Technologie oder vermittelten sozialen Interaktionen um Unterschiede in Sprache, Kultur, Protokoll, etc. auszulöschen.<br />
<br />
==Time Mutations: Vertical Horizons==<br />
Since the invention of the clock and the telegraph, space and time have been harnessed to each other in a culturally imposed lock step. Standardizations in train time ultimately led to the establishment of global time zones that persist today in fundamentally structuring our daily experience of the world. Ironically, the standardization of time has had the effect of illuminating the relativity of time and space in even our most mundane experiences. From jet lag and GPS to the syncing of dozens of clocks that seem to multiply around us with every electronic device, we find ourselves constantly adrift in the waters of relative and absolute space and time. Electronic communications technologies from email to live real-time video streaming have intensified this experience in our daily lives, conditioning us to take for granted the relative speed – and lag – of mediated time and space, and to accommodate it with new social conventions and unwritten codes of behavior.<br />
<br />
The desire to collapse boundaries of space and time is inherently utopian. To erase cultural and geographic distinctions, and instead inhabit a community in which communication is integrated and instantaneous is a persistent, yet elusive dream. Even when motivated by a generous impulse toward exchange, the desire to dissolve difference in culture, access, time, place and language in the experience of total simultaneity can, of course, never be complete. Seamless or lossless exchange is always thwarted by the embodied nature of communication, culture and technology. Manipulations of time and space through recording and editing techniques may lead us to perceive time and location as particulate states, but ultimately such interventions can never fully reduce experience to such stable or concrete terms.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' is an exhibition of new artworks that explore these concepts, challenges, and potentials, through a collaboration between two institutions that have historically been deeply invested in experimental media practice. Media practitioners from the [http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/en/media/media-art-and-design/study-programmes.html Media Art & Design Program at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar] and at the State University of New York at [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Buffalo’s Media Study Department] have come together to present new projects alongside works of internationally renowned artists and provide a platform for interaction between our institutions’ physical and research localities. For this exhibition we are seeking works that focus on individual and collective perceptions of space and time emerging from technologically mediated interaction and exchange. Of particular interest are works in which the concept of time as linear or location as static is successfully challenged, manipulated or collapsed, giving way to alternative experiences and constructions of time, space and place. Explicit failures in these attempts are embraced as both inevitable and interesting – for instance, the failure of technology or mediated social interactions to erase differences in language, cultural protocol, etc.<br />

1-channel video, 1 min 42 sec<br />
<br />
Kim Beom explores the formation of new relationships between images and concepts through a wide range of media, including drawings, installations, videos, publications and objects. Particularly concerned with ways of ''seeing'' and cognition in relation to sight—the basis of visual art—Kim continuously reveals the tension and conflict between visual perception and false mind. By suggesting images formed on the retina and works that escape from socially normative notions, Kim invites viewers to abandon fixed ideas and contemplate the world from a different perspective.<br />
<br />
Untitled (News) is made up of recorded and re-edited cable television news programs. Working from the basic acknowledgement that television programs represent the fundamental synthesis of visual image and spoken language of our age, the artist breaks them down into syllables and fabricates four stories out of the actual accounts delivered by anchorpersons. The text presents an alternative to the mass media, which has a monopoly on informing us of what takes place in the world and on the personal thoughts of individuals accustomed to viewing the reality exclusively through this controlled lens. Kim uses news, which incorporates images and spoken language, as source material in the construction of his own version of ''news'' and what he believes is ''news-worthy''. The content of Kim’s ''news'', therefore, reveals the nature of mass media, which selects, edits, translates, and criticizes stories about the world while crossing boundaries between fiction and nonfiction, truth and falsehood, society and individual, and public affairs and daily life.<br />

My perception of time and space was exercised and altered through memory in several long sittings during the creation of this map. During these sittings I literally cut my passageways through space and time from memory. I simply placed my knife at the starting point of a walk and visualized my movements as my tool traced my footsteps. What you see when looking at the piece is a fictional map of the five boroughs of New York City as they exist in my minds eye.<br />

==Sofia Dona &ndash; ''Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Sofia Dona - Twinning Towns.jpg|thumb|right|Sofia Dona &ndash; Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit]]<br />
The idea of the project was based on the concept of ''town twinning'' (sister cities) whereby towns or cities in geographically and politically distinct areas are paired. The ''town twinning'' concept was applied in the cities of Leipzig and Detroit by focusing on the issue of shrinkage and abandonment. Three examples of that connection were realised. <br />
<br />
For the first connection a split video was created, with two trombonists playing in two abandoned swimming pools, one in Leipzig and one in Detroit, in a way that the music of both trombonists creates a composition.<br />
<br />
The ''twinning towns: Leipzig -Detroit'' project consists of different actions that could be seen as actual actions and symbolical actions. Actual actions can be considered moving from one city to another, transporting, installing, removing, playing music, being involved in the city's life, exploring, finding materials and cooperating with musicians, craftsmen and art initiatives. On the other hand the symbolic action is the twinning, the attempt to transform, through the exchange of materials, buildings of Leipzig into buildings of Detroit and the other way around, transforming in a way the one city into the other. Although the actual action, of the specific installations or events, is visible only to a limited audience (the passers buy, the people involved in the project, etc) the symbolic action aims to the larger image and idea of the twinning of two cities, a wider concept opened up to a lot of questions on what the twinning of towns could mean.<br />

[http://www.videored.org ''VideoRed''] is the product of an investigation that seeks the development of a technological device on the internet that invites users to participate with short videos of no more than 15 seconds, that joined together build a video made of fragments as an exquisite corpse. <br />
<br />
Video = Vidē = first person of verb see in Latin; linguistic trace that points, since its origins,to the relationship of media to the individual. Video as a subjective practice that on the internet sinks in a totalizing blanket of standardized similarities. Although the differences are complex, when analyzing ''the individual'' as a body that sees in a timeframe within a certain discourse. Narrative and aesthetics practices that cannot be seen outside a unique perception shaped by body, time, and space.<br />
<br />
In VideoRed the audiovisual rhetorical figures are connected to each other in the most complex and, at the same time, basic way. A video network apparently connected through a mobile and ambiguous semiotic association, potentially interpreted as a group of empty pieces in search for meaning. Maybe, this is just an associative machine, an ode to interactivity and meaningless playfulness. However, the project focuses on dialogism, as a discourse modality that allows an active sharing of ideas; that can or cant be positioned as structured or vague entities. VideoRed contains videos as microstructures that defeats hermeneutics as others captivated by rhetorical figures.<br />
<br />
Beyond defining a true nature of video image, VideoRed intends to allocate video production and interpretation on individuals. Fragmenting, dissecting,connecting, framing, zooming, panning, borrowing and editing are practices that belong to a person that see how understand and understand how perceive. Video is a technological artifact and at the same time is a way to approach and act in front of and object, subject or topic. That is why this project, rather than concentrating its efforts on a technical machine builds its means in gatherings, workshops and communities. Allowing getting closer to other people through video production. Seeing these productions as presence of and author apparently absent but with a strong formal presence, revealing his eye, discourse and body operating the technological artifact.<br />
<br />
VideoRed invites to participate in the production of video responses of 15 seconds each. This project is a technological device as a pedagogical practice, product of a research project form Javeriana Univerity at Bogota Colombia.<br />
<br />
Since 2009 the group has been organizing gatherings and workshops with people interested on video, that join the project setting rhetorical games and aesthetic explorations. <br />

Images and information saturate daily experience. From newspapers, television, and the internet, life in the 21st century is on information overload. SIGNAL/NOISE addresses this overload of information, and my own attempts to make sense of it all. With messages from the media and from advertising combined with expectations on the part of society and family, how can we find our own place in the world anymore? Drawing from media sources, I create layered images that represent my experience with the world of multitasking, compartmentalizing, and juggling it all. My thesis exhibition includes works made from daily drawings based on internet web searches, social media, and news articles. In collecting these traces of popular media and current events, I create a ''landscape'' of information. What I hope to reveal is the nature of public interest, the publicity of the personal, and the equilibrium (numbness) that results in over-saturation of information.<br />

This work explores the temporal acoustics of the everyday soundscape. By fitting electronics inside of a hat, the wearer exposes themself to a recording of their daily sounds, creating a sound-portrait. The hat records 3 seconds of audio every 20 minutes, in a type of stop-motion fashion. While continuous recording would obviously pick up every sound which the wearer would experience, a disparate capture offers a dense experience of the everyday soundscape. This technique instills a feeling of cyclical temporality during playback. It is both environmental exploration and self-discovery. Leave the hat in one space and hear the cycles of a space, wear the hat for days, weeks, or years and hear the cycles of a life.<br />

(2010, 3-channel HD video, stereo sound, 16:30 loop)<br />
<br />
When I first moved to Buffalo, NY I was struck by the everyday beauty of the many single-family homes that make up the city. These iconic, turn-of-the-century houses seemed to have endless interpretation. Each structure with its unique details, angles, and arrangements was like a variation on a theme or an instance of an archetype, with its own singular history handed down from deed to deed.<br />
<br />
At the same time, Buffalo numbers among the many rust-belt cities dealing with decades-long economic decline and its concomitant depopulation. As a result, vacant and abandoned houses abound. Thousands have been torn down and many more await a similar fate. Empty windows stare out from the last house standing on the block. They wait like a question posed, or a reminder.<br />
<br />
If houses are containers for our memories, the structures within which so many minor and major domestic events take place, then each week in this city a collective amnesia grows block by block: a city disappears before our eyes. The demolition of these structures—by design or accident—and the speed, indifference and violence with which it takes place, the transmutations of scale, of space, and even of one's sense of time is breathtaking, tragic, and full of contradictions. Last House is an inquiry, part document, part memorial, into this changing built environment.<br />

''Buffalo(ve)'' is a multimedia collaborative installation. The lightbox is equipped with an unnamed map of the neighborhood around the [http://www.buffalolib.org/libraries/crane/index.asp Crane Branch Library] in Buffalo, New York, which library patrons are invited to contribute their own names to. During the course of the installation, a new clear layer on top of the map is added every few days to give more people the opportunity to share and contribute, as well as create a literally layered archaeology of names that local people give to the landscape around them.<br />
<br />
Naming is essentially a social practice, and inscribes values and ideas about a place onto the literal physical landscape. A function of conquest, discovery, and historicization, naming places is usually left up to the strongest, history’s ''winners''. However, many places hold secret caches of names — whether they’re what the indigenous people used to call a nearby river, or the name your daughter first gave the grocery store, or a made-up language all your own. Many of these names get lost as people age, die, or move away. ''Buffalo(ve)'' is an attempt to preserve some of the hidden, personal, or inscrutable names that we give to our city.<br />

==Scott Ries &ndash; ''Aceeeh ino rrssstUv''==<br />
Taking the complete Beatles discography as one track arranged in chronological order (that in which they were released), I divide it into 0.1 sec segments (long enough not to produce a consistent tone, short enough to elude recognition), and then arrange those segments in order of their total energy over each of the 0.1 sec segments, from the least to the most. Each segment's first sample is zeroed at the previous segment's last sample, and the absolute value of its energy pointed towards zero. In other words, I rearrange the familiar Beatles chronology into barely recognizable segments following an entirely different chronology, that of the universe (from least energy to most, or from order to chaos), and point it, futilely, toward equilibrium. The complete track is then re-divided into the exact lengths of each album and track, and is released in the same chronology as were the correspondingly-long Beatles' albums (but could be played in its entirety and transferred easily online for an installation).<br />

''School of Perpetual Training'' is an ironic instructional training program that exposes the underbelly and not so glamorous side of the computer video game industry. Most people associate jobs in the computer video game industry with information-based labor such as 3D graphics and coding game programs. Yet the majority of the industry relies on the sweat and stamina of migrant and low-income laborers working for electronics contract manufacturers in developing countries.<br />
<br />
By following a series of training exercises, participants learn about the precarious employment and unjust labor conditions of workers in the areas of overseas digital game manufacturing and distribution. A virtual ''personal trainer'' created in Second Life leads participants through a series of training exercises that use motion detection and require full range of body motion to play. Rather than using a mouse or joystick, the motion detection demands the participants ''labor'' to complete the training exercises, emphasizing the extreme physical nature and motion economics of these jobs. The individual training exercises recontextualize popular classic arcade games – Dig Dug, Tapper, Space Invaders and Tetris – in order to ''train'' participants for jobs in mineral mining, printed circuit board assembly, box build and global shipping. At the end of the training program, participants can gauge their ''global market value'' to find out how much they are ''worth'' in contrast to white-collar workers in the industry and game company profits.<br />

<br />
Seit der Erfindung der Uhr und des Telegrafen sind Raum und Zeit in einen kulturell bedingtem Gleichschritt zusammengeschlossen. Der überregionale Zugverkehr führte zur Standardisierung von Fahrplänen und 1884 zur Einführung von [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12849630 Zeitzonen], deren räumliche Grenzen bis heute das Erleben der Welt bestimmen. Paradoxerweise hatte die Normierung der Zeit den Effekt, die Relativität von Raum und Zeit selbst in den banalsten Situationen zu Tage zu fördern. Von Jetlag über GPS zu der Synchronisation von Uhren, die sich scheinbar mit jedem neuem elektronischen Gerät multiplizieren, scheinen wir ständig in dem Gewässer des relativen und absoluten Raums und der relativen und absoluten Zeit zu treiben. Elektronische Kommunikationstechnologien wie Email und Echtzeit-Videostreams verstärken in unserem Alltag diesen Eindruck und lehren uns die relative Geschwindigkeit und Verzögerung vermittelter Zeit als gegeben hinzunehmen und uns ihr mit neuen gesellschaftlichen Konventionen und anderen ungeschrieben Verhaltensregeln anzupassen.<br />
<br />
Der Drang die Grenzen von Raum und Zeit zu durchbrechen ist von sich aus utopisch: kulturelle und geographische Unterschiede zu entfernen und anstatt dessen eine Gesellschaft zu etablieren in der Kommunikation eingebunden und unmittelbar ist, ist ein immerwährender jedoch schwer fassbarer Traum. Selbst wenn die Motivation dahinter ein starker Drang nach Austausch ist, kann der Wunsch Unterschiede in Kultur, Zugang, Zeit und Sprache in der Gegenwart totaler Gleichzeitigkeit aufzulösen natürlich nie vollständig sein. Übergangsloser bzw. verlustfreier Austausch wird immer von der in ihm enthaltenen Art der Kommunikation, Kultur und Technologie vereitelt. Manipulation von Raum und Zeit durch Aufzeichnungs- und Bearbeitungstechniken könnte letztendlich dazu führen, dass wir Zeit und Ort als bestimmten Zustand wahrnehmen, wobei solche Eingriffe die Erfahrung nie auf solch feste bzw. konkrete Begriffe reduzieren können.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' ist eine Ausstellung neuartiger Kunstwerken die diese Konzepte, Probleme und Potentiale erforschen durch eine Kollaboration zweier Institutionen, die aufgrund ihrer Geschichte ein großes Interesse an experimentellen Medienpraktiken haben. Angehörige des Studiengangs Medienkunst/Mediengestaltung der Bauhaus Universität Weimar und der [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Fakultät Media Study der State University of New York] in Buffalo haben sich zusammengetan um neue Projekte Seite an Seite mit Arbeiten international rennomierter Künstler zu präsentieren und eine Plattform für die Interaktionen der beiden Institutionen zu schaffen. Für diese Ausstellung suchen wir Arbeiten die einen Schwerpunkt auf der individuellen und kollektiven Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit die aus der vermittelten Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit durch Technologie hervorgeht. Von besonderem Interesse sind Arbeiten die das Konzept von Zeit als linear und dem Ort als fest erfolgreich hinterfragen, manipulieren oder auslöschen und damit die Richtung für alternative Erfahrungen und Konstruktionen von Raum, Zeit und Ort aufzeigen. Eindeutig gescheiterte Versuche werden als unausweichlich und interessant begrüßt, zum Beispiel das Scheitern von Technologie oder vermittelten sozialen Interaktionen um Unterschiede in Sprache, Kultur, Protokoll, etc. auszulöschen.<br />
<br />
==Time Mutations: Vertical Horizons==<br />
Since the invention of the clock and the telegraph, space and time have been harnessed to each other in a culturally imposed lock step. Standardizations in train time ultimately led to the establishment of global time zones that persist today in fundamentally structuring our daily experience of the world. Ironically, the standardization of time has had the effect of illuminating the relativity of time and space in even our most mundane experiences. From jet lag and GPS to the syncing of dozens of clocks that seem to multiply around us with every electronic device, we find ourselves constantly adrift in the waters of relative and absolute space and time. Electronic communications technologies from email to live real-time video streaming have intensified this experience in our daily lives, conditioning us to take for granted the relative speed – and lag – of mediated time and space, and to accommodate it with new social conventions and unwritten codes of behavior.<br />
<br />
The desire to collapse boundaries of space and time is inherently utopian. To erase cultural and geographic distinctions, and instead inhabit a community in which communication is integrated and instantaneous is a persistent, yet elusive dream. Even when motivated by a generous impulse toward exchange, the desire to dissolve difference in culture, access, time, place and language in the experience of total simultaneity can, of course, never be complete. Seamless or lossless exchange is always thwarted by the embodied nature of communication, culture and technology. Manipulations of time and space through recording and editing techniques may lead us to perceive time and location as particulate states, but ultimately such interventions can never fully reduce experience to such stable or concrete terms.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' is an exhibition of new artworks that explore these concepts, challenges, and potentials, through a collaboration between two institutions that have historically been deeply invested in experimental media practice. Media practitioners from the [http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/en/media/media-art-and-design/study-programmes.html Media Art & Design Program at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar] and at the State University of New York at [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Buffalo’s Media Study Department] have come together to present new projects alongside works of internationally renowned artists and provide a platform for interaction between our institutions’ physical and research localities. For this exhibition we are seeking works that focus on individual and collective perceptions of space and time emerging from technologically mediated interaction and exchange. Of particular interest are works in which the concept of time as linear or location as static is successfully challenged, manipulated or collapsed, giving way to alternative experiences and constructions of time, space and place. Explicit failures in these attempts are embraced as both inevitable and interesting – for instance, the failure of technology or mediated social interactions to erase differences in language, cultural protocol, etc.<br />

1-channel video, 1 min 42 sec<br />
<br />
Kim Beom explores the formation of new relationships between images and concepts through a wide range of media, including drawings, installations, videos, publications and objects. Particularly concerned with ways of ''seeing'' and cognition in relation to sight—the basis of visual art—Kim continuously reveals the tension and conflict between visual perception and false mind. By suggesting images formed on the retina and works that escape from socially normative notions, Kim invites viewers to abandon fixed ideas and contemplate the world from a different perspective.<br />
<br />
Untitled (News) is made up of recorded and re-edited cable television news programs. Working from the basic acknowledgement that television programs represent the fundamental synthesis of visual image and spoken language of our age, the artist breaks them down into syllables and fabricates four stories out of the actual accounts delivered by anchorpersons. The text presents an alternative to the mass media, which has a monopoly on informing us of what takes place in the world and on the personal thoughts of individuals accustomed to viewing the reality exclusively through this controlled lens. Kim uses news, which incorporates images and spoken language, as source material in the construction of his own version of ''news'' and what he believes is ''news-worthy''. The content of Kim’s ''news'', therefore, reveals the nature of mass media, which selects, edits, translates, and criticizes stories about the world while crossing boundaries between fiction and nonfiction, truth and falsehood, society and individual, and public affairs and daily life.<br />

My perception of time and space was exercised and altered through memory in several long sittings during the creation of this map. During these sittings I literally cut my passageways through space and time from memory. I simply placed my knife at the starting point of a walk and visualized my movements as my tool traced my footsteps. What you see when looking at the piece is a fictional map of the five boroughs of New York City as they exist in my minds eye.<br />

[[Image:Reconstructing the Truth.jpg|right|thumb|[[Matthias Breuer]] - Reconstructing the Truth]]<br />
Nowadays reality is a highly constructed body made up of many different ideas, desires and influences. The biggest reality-producing machine, the media with all its different distribution channels, confronts us with a huge colourfulmoving mass made up of countless pictures and sounds. The question about whether what we see is real or not is neither asked nor encouraged. The catchphrase of modernity is see it and believe it, critical discourse is never held. While in ancient times, following Plato's ideas, reality to some is the dancing of shadows on a cave wall, for us it is the interplay of many differently coloured pixels on flat surfaces. Screens are our viewfinders to the world. Our perception is created by artificial interfaces. The connection between reality and man is created by copper wires and silicon plates. A very fragile umbilical cord highly dependent on those who feed it thus holding the ultimate control.<br />
<br />
Two movies dealing about the question of what is real, [[wikipedia:The Matrix|''The Matrix'']] (1999) by the Wachowski brothers and [[wikipedia:Welt am Draht|''World on Wires'']] (1973, orig. title ''Welt am Draht'') by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, are left to the electronic brain of a computer to create, with its countless circuits instructed by a programmer, a reality partly constructed partly real to explore reality and its constructed nature. The outcome is a formal critique of (mass-)media's reality.<br />

''underactuation'' is a sculpture/installation that contrasts the measurement and display of time. The face of underactuation displays seconds, minutes, and hours through three horizontal windows. Time is displayed in a linear fashion -- the clock hands appear to move left and right.<br />
<br />
The video projecting the inside of the steel housing reveals the circular motion of the clock mechanism contrasting with the linear display of the face: problematizing these two ''opposing'' ideologies/representations of time as concepts that reveal the potential multitudes of perspective/cosmology.<br />

==Sofia Dona &ndash; ''Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Sofia Dona - Twinning Towns.jpg|thumb|right|Sofia Dona &ndash; Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit]]<br />
The idea of the project was based on the concept of ''town twinning'' (sister cities) whereby towns or cities in geographically and politically distinct areas are paired. The ''town twinning'' concept was applied in the cities of Leipzig and Detroit by focusing on the issue of shrinkage and abandonment. Three examples of that connection were realised. <br />
<br />
For the first connection a split video was created, with two trombonists playing in two abandoned swimming pools, one in Leipzig and one in Detroit, in a way that the music of both trombonists creates a composition.<br />
<br />
The ''twinning towns: Leipzig -Detroit'' project consists of different actions that could be seen as actual actions and symbolical actions. Actual actions can be considered moving from one city to another, transporting, installing, removing, playing music, being involved in the city's life, exploring, finding materials and cooperating with musicians, craftsmen and art initiatives. On the other hand the symbolic action is the twinning, the attempt to transform, through the exchange of materials, buildings of Leipzig into buildings of Detroit and the other way around, transforming in a way the one city into the other. Although the actual action, of the specific installations or events, is visible only to a limited audience (the passers buy, the people involved in the project, etc) the symbolic action aims to the larger image and idea of the twinning of two cities, a wider concept opened up to a lot of questions on what the twinning of towns could mean.<br />

[http://www.videored.org ''VideoRed''] is the product of an investigation that seeks the development of a technological device on the internet that invites users to participate with short videos of no more than 15 seconds, that joined together build a video made of fragments as an exquisite corpse. <br />
<br />
Video = Vidē = first person of verb see in Latin; linguistic trace that points, since its origins,to the relationship of media to the individual. Video as a subjective practice that on the internet sinks in a totalizing blanket of standardized similarities. Although the differences are complex, when analyzing ''the individual'' as a body that sees in a timeframe within a certain discourse. Narrative and aesthetics practices that cannot be seen outside a unique perception shaped by body, time, and space.<br />
<br />
In VideoRed the audiovisual rhetorical figures are connected to each other in the most complex and, at the same time, basic way. A video network apparently connected through a mobile and ambiguous semiotic association, potentially interpreted as a group of empty pieces in search for meaning. Maybe, this is just an associative machine, an ode to interactivity and meaningless playfulness. However, the project focuses on dialogism, as a discourse modality that allows an active sharing of ideas; that can or cant be positioned as structured or vague entities. VideoRed contains videos as microstructures that defeats hermeneutics as others captivated by rhetorical figures.<br />
<br />
Beyond defining a true nature of video image, VideoRed intends to allocate video production and interpretation on individuals. Fragmenting, dissecting,connecting, framing, zooming, panning, borrowing and editing are practices that belong to a person that see how understand and understand how perceive. Video is a technological artifact and at the same time is a way to approach and act in front of and object, subject or topic. That is why this project, rather than concentrating its efforts on a technical machine builds its means in gatherings, workshops and communities. Allowing getting closer to other people through video production. Seeing these productions as presence of and author apparently absent but with a strong formal presence, revealing his eye, discourse and body operating the technological artifact.<br />
<br />
VideoRed invites to participate in the production of video responses of 15 seconds each. This project is a technological device as a pedagogical practice, product of a research project form Javeriana Univerity at Bogota Colombia.<br />
<br />

Images and information saturate daily experience. From newspapers, television, and the internet, life in the 21st century is on information overload. SIGNAL/NOISE addresses this overload of information, and my own attempts to make sense of it all. With messages from the media and from advertising combined with expectations on the part of society and family, how can we find our own place in the world anymore? Drawing from media sources, I create layered images that represent my experience with the world of multitasking, compartmentalizing, and juggling it all. My thesis exhibition includes works made from daily drawings based on internet web searches, social media, and news articles. In collecting these traces of popular media and current events, I create a ''landscape'' of information. What I hope to reveal is the nature of public interest, the publicity of the personal, and the equilibrium (numbness) that results in over-saturation of information.<br />

This work explores the temporal acoustics of the everyday soundscape. By fitting electronics inside of a hat, the wearer exposes themself to a recording of their daily sounds, creating a sound-portrait. The hat records 3 seconds of audio every 20 minutes, in a type of stop-motion fashion. While continuous recording would obviously pick up every sound which the wearer would experience, a disparate capture offers a dense experience of the everyday soundscape. This technique instills a feeling of cyclical temporality during playback. It is both environmental exploration and self-discovery. Leave the hat in one space and hear the cycles of a space, wear the hat for days, weeks, or years and hear the cycles of a life.<br />

(2010, 3-channel HD video, stereo sound, 16:30 loop)<br />
<br />
When I first moved to Buffalo, NY I was struck by the everyday beauty of the many single-family homes that make up the city. These iconic, turn-of-the-century houses seemed to have endless interpretation. Each structure with its unique details, angles, and arrangements was like a variation on a theme or an instance of an archetype, with its own singular history handed down from deed to deed.<br />
<br />
At the same time, Buffalo numbers among the many rust-belt cities dealing with decades-long economic decline and its concomitant depopulation. As a result, vacant and abandoned houses abound. Thousands have been torn down and many more await a similar fate. Empty windows stare out from the last house standing on the block. They wait like a question posed, or a reminder.<br />
<br />
If houses are containers for our memories, the structures within which so many minor and major domestic events take place, then each week in this city a collective amnesia grows block by block: a city disappears before our eyes. The demolition of these structures—by design or accident—and the speed, indifference and violence with which it takes place, the transmutations of scale, of space, and even of one's sense of time is breathtaking, tragic, and full of contradictions. Last House is an inquiry, part document, part memorial, into this changing built environment.<br />

[[Image:Time Mutations - Cayden Mak - Buffalove.jpg|thumb|right|Cayden Mak &ndash; Buffalove]]<br />
''Buffalo(ve)'' is a multimedia collaborative installation. The lightbox is equipped with an unnamed map of the neighborhood around the [http://www.buffalolib.org/libraries/crane/index.asp Crane Branch Library] in Buffalo, New York, which library patrons are invited to contribute their own names to. During the course of the installation, a new clear layer on top of the map is added every few days to give more people the opportunity to share and contribute, as well as create a literally layered archaeology of names that local people give to the landscape around them.<br />
<br />
Naming is essentially a social practice, and inscribes values and ideas about a place onto the literal physical landscape. A function of conquest, discovery, and historicization, naming places is usually left up to the strongest, history’s ''winners''. However, many places hold secret caches of names — whether they’re what the indigenous people used to call a nearby river, or the name your daughter first gave the grocery store, or a made-up language all your own. Many of these names get lost as people age, die, or move away. ''Buffalo(ve)'' is an attempt to preserve some of the hidden, personal, or inscrutable names that we give to our city.<br />

==Scott Ries &ndash; ''Aceeeh ino rrssstUv''==<br />
Taking the complete Beatles discography as one track arranged in chronological order (that in which they were released), I divide it into 0.1 sec segments (long enough not to produce a consistent tone, short enough to elude recognition), and then arrange those segments in order of their total energy over each of the 0.1 sec segments, from the least to the most. Each segment's first sample is zeroed at the previous segment's last sample, and the absolute value of its energy pointed towards zero. In other words, I rearrange the familiar Beatles chronology into barely recognizable segments following an entirely different chronology, that of the universe (from least energy to most, or from order to chaos), and point it, futilely, toward equilibrium. The complete track is then re-divided into the exact lengths of each album and track, and is released in the same chronology as were the correspondingly-long Beatles' albums (but could be played in its entirety and transferred easily online for an installation).<br />

''School of Perpetual Training'' is an ironic instructional training program that exposes the underbelly and not so glamorous side of the computer video game industry. Most people associate jobs in the computer video game industry with information-based labor such as 3D graphics and coding game programs. Yet the majority of the industry relies on the sweat and stamina of migrant and low-income laborers working for electronics contract manufacturers in developing countries.<br />
<br />
By following a series of training exercises, participants learn about the precarious employment and unjust labor conditions of workers in the areas of overseas digital game manufacturing and distribution. A virtual ''personal trainer'' created in Second Life leads participants through a series of training exercises that use motion detection and require full range of body motion to play. Rather than using a mouse or joystick, the motion detection demands the participants ''labor'' to complete the training exercises, emphasizing the extreme physical nature and motion economics of these jobs. The individual training exercises recontextualize popular classic arcade games – Dig Dug, Tapper, Space Invaders and Tetris – in order to ''train'' participants for jobs in mineral mining, printed circuit board assembly, box build and global shipping. At the end of the training program, participants can gauge their ''global market value'' to find out how much they are ''worth'' in contrast to white-collar workers in the industry and game company profits.<br />

<br />
Seit der Erfindung der Uhr und des Telegrafen sind Raum und Zeit in einen kulturell bedingtem Gleichschritt zusammengeschlossen. Der überregionale Zugverkehr führte zur Standardisierung von Fahrplänen und 1884 zur Einführung von [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12849630 Zeitzonen], deren räumliche Grenzen bis heute das Erleben der Welt bestimmen. Paradoxerweise hatte die Normierung der Zeit den Effekt, die Relativität von Raum und Zeit selbst in den banalsten Situationen zu Tage zu fördern. Von Jetlag über GPS zu der Synchronisation von Uhren, die sich scheinbar mit jedem neuem elektronischen Gerät multiplizieren, scheinen wir ständig in dem Gewässer des relativen und absoluten Raums und der relativen und absoluten Zeit zu treiben. Elektronische Kommunikationstechnologien wie Email und Echtzeit-Videostreams verstärken in unserem Alltag diesen Eindruck und lehren uns die relative Geschwindigkeit und Verzögerung vermittelter Zeit als gegeben hinzunehmen und uns ihr mit neuen gesellschaftlichen Konventionen und anderen ungeschrieben Verhaltensregeln anzupassen.<br />
<br />
Der Drang die Grenzen von Raum und Zeit zu durchbrechen ist von sich aus utopisch: kulturelle und geographische Unterschiede zu entfernen und anstatt dessen eine Gesellschaft zu etablieren in der Kommunikation eingebunden und unmittelbar ist, ist ein immerwährender jedoch schwer fassbarer Traum. Selbst wenn die Motivation dahinter ein starker Drang nach Austausch ist, kann der Wunsch Unterschiede in Kultur, Zugang, Zeit und Sprache in der Gegenwart totaler Gleichzeitigkeit aufzulösen natürlich nie vollständig sein. Übergangsloser bzw. verlustfreier Austausch wird immer von der in ihm enthaltenen Art der Kommunikation, Kultur und Technologie vereitelt. Manipulation von Raum und Zeit durch Aufzeichnungs- und Bearbeitungstechniken könnte letztendlich dazu führen, dass wir Zeit und Ort als bestimmten Zustand wahrnehmen, wobei solche Eingriffe die Erfahrung nie auf solch feste bzw. konkrete Begriffe reduzieren können.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' ist eine Ausstellung neuartiger Kunstwerken die diese Konzepte, Probleme und Potentiale erforschen durch eine Kollaboration zweier Institutionen, die aufgrund ihrer Geschichte ein großes Interesse an experimentellen Medienpraktiken haben. Angehörige des Studiengangs Medienkunst/Mediengestaltung der Bauhaus Universität Weimar und der [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Fakultät Media Study der State University of New York] in Buffalo haben sich zusammengetan um neue Projekte Seite an Seite mit Arbeiten international rennomierter Künstler zu präsentieren und eine Plattform für die Interaktionen der beiden Institutionen zu schaffen. Für diese Ausstellung suchen wir Arbeiten die einen Schwerpunkt auf der individuellen und kollektiven Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit die aus der vermittelten Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit durch Technologie hervorgeht. Von besonderem Interesse sind Arbeiten die das Konzept von Zeit als linear und dem Ort als fest erfolgreich hinterfragen, manipulieren oder auslöschen und damit die Richtung für alternative Erfahrungen und Konstruktionen von Raum, Zeit und Ort aufzeigen. Eindeutig gescheiterte Versuche werden als unausweichlich und interessant begrüßt, zum Beispiel das Scheitern von Technologie oder vermittelten sozialen Interaktionen um Unterschiede in Sprache, Kultur, Protokoll, etc. auszulöschen.<br />
<br />
==Time Mutations: Vertical Horizons==<br />
Since the invention of the clock and the telegraph, space and time have been harnessed to each other in a culturally imposed lock step. Standardizations in train time ultimately led to the establishment of global time zones that persist today in fundamentally structuring our daily experience of the world. Ironically, the standardization of time has had the effect of illuminating the relativity of time and space in even our most mundane experiences. From jet lag and GPS to the syncing of dozens of clocks that seem to multiply around us with every electronic device, we find ourselves constantly adrift in the waters of relative and absolute space and time. Electronic communications technologies from email to live real-time video streaming have intensified this experience in our daily lives, conditioning us to take for granted the relative speed – and lag – of mediated time and space, and to accommodate it with new social conventions and unwritten codes of behavior.<br />
<br />
The desire to collapse boundaries of space and time is inherently utopian. To erase cultural and geographic distinctions, and instead inhabit a community in which communication is integrated and instantaneous is a persistent, yet elusive dream. Even when motivated by a generous impulse toward exchange, the desire to dissolve difference in culture, access, time, place and language in the experience of total simultaneity can, of course, never be complete. Seamless or lossless exchange is always thwarted by the embodied nature of communication, culture and technology. Manipulations of time and space through recording and editing techniques may lead us to perceive time and location as particulate states, but ultimately such interventions can never fully reduce experience to such stable or concrete terms.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' is an exhibition of new artworks that explore these concepts, challenges, and potentials, through a collaboration between two institutions that have historically been deeply invested in experimental media practice. Media practitioners from the [http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/en/media/media-art-and-design/study-programmes.html Media Art & Design Program at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar] and at the State University of New York at [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Buffalo’s Media Study Department] have come together to present new projects alongside works of internationally renowned artists and provide a platform for interaction between our institutions’ physical and research localities. For this exhibition we are seeking works that focus on individual and collective perceptions of space and time emerging from technologically mediated interaction and exchange. Of particular interest are works in which the concept of time as linear or location as static is successfully challenged, manipulated or collapsed, giving way to alternative experiences and constructions of time, space and place. Explicit failures in these attempts are embraced as both inevitable and interesting – for instance, the failure of technology or mediated social interactions to erase differences in language, cultural protocol, etc.<br />

''Vom Leben für das Leben'' was filmed in December 2010 on a beach in Venezuela. The installation is made up of a video projection without audio, a turned on radio receiver placed on a turning record player. The installation tries to rebuild the perception of time from the noise of the radio receiver in a moment that is not only to be understodd as a memento but also as a contemplative and lasting meaning of life.<br />

1-channel video, 1 min 42 sec<br />
<br />
Kim Beom explores the formation of new relationships between images and concepts through a wide range of media, including drawings, installations, videos, publications and objects. Particularly concerned with ways of ''seeing'' and cognition in relation to sight—the basis of visual art—Kim continuously reveals the tension and conflict between visual perception and false mind. By suggesting images formed on the retina and works that escape from socially normative notions, Kim invites viewers to abandon fixed ideas and contemplate the world from a different perspective.<br />
<br />
Untitled (News) is made up of recorded and re-edited cable television news programs. Working from the basic acknowledgement that television programs represent the fundamental synthesis of visual image and spoken language of our age, the artist breaks them down into syllables and fabricates four stories out of the actual accounts delivered by anchorpersons. The text presents an alternative to the mass media, which has a monopoly on informing us of what takes place in the world and on the personal thoughts of individuals accustomed to viewing the reality exclusively through this controlled lens. Kim uses news, which incorporates images and spoken language, as source material in the construction of his own version of ''news'' and what he believes is ''news-worthy''. The content of Kim’s ''news'', therefore, reveals the nature of mass media, which selects, edits, translates, and criticizes stories about the world while crossing boundaries between fiction and nonfiction, truth and falsehood, society and individual, and public affairs and daily life.<br />

My perception of time and space was exercised and altered through memory in several long sittings during the creation of this map. During these sittings I literally cut my passageways through space and time from memory. I simply placed my knife at the starting point of a walk and visualized my movements as my tool traced my footsteps. What you see when looking at the piece is a fictional map of the five boroughs of New York City as they exist in my minds eye.<br />

[[Image:Reconstructing the Truth.jpg|right|thumb|[[Matthias Breuer]] - Reconstructing the Truth]]<br />
Nowadays reality is a highly constructed body made up of many different ideas, desires and influences. The biggest reality-producing machine, the media with all its different distribution channels, confronts us with a huge colourfulmoving mass made up of countless pictures and sounds. The question about whether what we see is real or not is neither asked nor encouraged. The catchphrase of modernity is see it and believe it, critical discourse is never held. While in ancient times, following Plato's ideas, reality to some is the dancing of shadows on a cave wall, for us it is the interplay of many differently coloured pixels on flat surfaces. Screens are our viewfinders to the world. Our perception is created by artificial interfaces. The connection between reality and man is created by copper wires and silicon plates. A very fragile umbilical cord highly dependent on those who feed it thus holding the ultimate control.<br />
<br />
Two movies dealing about the question of what is real, [[wikipedia:The Matrix|''The Matrix'']] (1999) by the Wachowski brothers and [[wikipedia:Welt am Draht|''World on Wires'']] (1973, orig. title ''Welt am Draht'') by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, are left to the electronic brain of a computer to create, with its countless circuits instructed by a programmer, a reality partly constructed partly real to explore reality and its constructed nature. The outcome is a formal critique of (mass-)media's reality.<br />

''underactuation'' is a sculpture/installation that contrasts the measurement and display of time. The face of underactuation displays seconds, minutes, and hours through three horizontal windows. Time is displayed in a linear fashion -- the clock hands appear to move left and right.<br />
<br />
The video projecting the inside of the steel housing reveals the circular motion of the clock mechanism contrasting with the linear display of the face: problematizing these two ''opposing'' ideologies/representations of time as concepts that reveal the potential multitudes of perspective/cosmology.<br />

==Sofia Dona &ndash; ''Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit''==<br />
[[Image:Time Mutations - Sofia Dona - Twinning Towns.jpg|thumb|right|Sofia Dona &ndash; Twinning Towns: Leipzig&mdash;Detroit]]<br />
The idea of the project was based on the concept of ''town twinning'' (sister cities) whereby towns or cities in geographically and politically distinct areas are paired. The ''town twinning'' concept was applied in the cities of Leipzig and Detroit by focusing on the issue of shrinkage and abandonment. Three examples of that connection were realised. <br />
<br />
For the first connection a split video was created, with two trombonists playing in two abandoned swimming pools, one in Leipzig and one in Detroit, in a way that the music of both trombonists creates a composition.<br />
<br />
The ''twinning towns: Leipzig -Detroit'' project consists of different actions that could be seen as actual actions and symbolical actions. Actual actions can be considered moving from one city to another, transporting, installing, removing, playing music, being involved in the city's life, exploring, finding materials and cooperating with musicians, craftsmen and art initiatives. On the other hand the symbolic action is the twinning, the attempt to transform, through the exchange of materials, buildings of Leipzig into buildings of Detroit and the other way around, transforming in a way the one city into the other. Although the actual action, of the specific installations or events, is visible only to a limited audience (the passers buy, the people involved in the project, etc) the symbolic action aims to the larger image and idea of the twinning of two cities, a wider concept opened up to a lot of questions on what the twinning of towns could mean.<br />

[http://www.videored.org ''VideoRed''] is the product of an investigation that seeks the development of a technological device on the internet that invites users to participate with short videos of no more than 15 seconds, that joined together build a video made of fragments as an exquisite corpse. <br />
<br />
Video = Vidē = first person of verb see in Latin; linguistic trace that points, since its origins,to the relationship of media to the individual. Video as a subjective practice that on the internet sinks in a totalizing blanket of standardized similarities. Although the differences are complex, when analyzing ''the individual'' as a body that sees in a timeframe within a certain discourse. Narrative and aesthetics practices that cannot be seen outside a unique perception shaped by body, time, and space.<br />
<br />
In VideoRed the audiovisual rhetorical figures are connected to each other in the most complex and, at the same time, basic way. A video network apparently connected through a mobile and ambiguous semiotic association, potentially interpreted as a group of empty pieces in search for meaning. Maybe, this is just an associative machine, an ode to interactivity and meaningless playfulness. However, the project focuses on dialogism, as a discourse modality that allows an active sharing of ideas; that can or cant be positioned as structured or vague entities. VideoRed contains videos as microstructures that defeats hermeneutics as others captivated by rhetorical figures.<br />
<br />
Beyond defining a true nature of video image, VideoRed intends to allocate video production and interpretation on individuals. Fragmenting, dissecting,connecting, framing, zooming, panning, borrowing and editing are practices that belong to a person that see how understand and understand how perceive. Video is a technological artifact and at the same time is a way to approach and act in front of and object, subject or topic. That is why this project, rather than concentrating its efforts on a technical machine builds its means in gatherings, workshops and communities. Allowing getting closer to other people through video production. Seeing these productions as presence of and author apparently absent but with a strong formal presence, revealing his eye, discourse and body operating the technological artifact.<br />
<br />
VideoRed invites to participate in the production of video responses of 15 seconds each. This project is a technological device as a pedagogical practice, product of a research project form Javeriana Univerity at Bogota Colombia.<br />
<br />
Since 2009 the group has been organizing gatherings and workshops with people interested on video, that join the project setting rhetorical games and aesthetic explorations. <br />

Images and information saturate daily experience. From newspapers, television, and the internet, life in the 21st century is on information overload. SIGNAL/NOISE addresses this overload of information, and my own attempts to make sense of it all. With messages from the media and from advertising combined with expectations on the part of society and family, how can we find our own place in the world anymore? Drawing from media sources, I create layered images that represent my experience with the world of multitasking, compartmentalizing, and juggling it all. My thesis exhibition includes works made from daily drawings based on internet web searches, social media, and news articles. In collecting these traces of popular media and current events, I create a ''landscape'' of information. What I hope to reveal is the nature of public interest, the publicity of the personal, and the equilibrium (numbness) that results in over-saturation of information.<br />

This work explores the temporal acoustics of the everyday soundscape. By fitting electronics inside of a hat, the wearer exposes themself to a recording of their daily sounds, creating a sound-portrait. The hat records 3 seconds of audio every 20 minutes, in a type of stop-motion fashion. While continuous recording would obviously pick up every sound which the wearer would experience, a disparate capture offers a dense experience of the everyday soundscape. This technique instills a feeling of cyclical temporality during playback. It is both environmental exploration and self-discovery. Leave the hat in one space and hear the cycles of a space, wear the hat for days, weeks, or years and hear the cycles of a life.<br />

<br />
When I first moved to Buffalo, NY I was struck by the everyday beauty of the many single-family homes that make up the city. These iconic, turn-of-the-century houses seemed to have endless interpretation. Each structure with its unique details, angles, and arrangements was like a variation on a theme or an instance of an archetype, with its own singular history handed down from deed to deed.<br />

At the same time, Buffalo numbers among the many rust-belt cities dealing with decades-long economic decline and its concomitant depopulation. As a result, vacant and abandoned houses abound. Thousands have been torn down and many more await a similar fate. Empty windows stare out from the last house standing on the block. They wait like a question posed, or a reminder.<br />
<br />
If houses are containers for our memories, the structures within which so many minor and major domestic events take place, then each week in this city a collective amnesia grows block by block: a city disappears before our eyes. The demolition of these structures—by design or accident—and the speed, indifference and violence with which it takes place, the transmutations of scale, of space, and even of one's sense of time is breathtaking, tragic, and full of contradictions. Last House is an inquiry, part document, part memorial, into this changing built environment.<br />

''Buffalo(ve)'' is a multimedia collaborative installation. The lightbox is equipped with an unnamed map of the neighborhood around the [http://www.buffalolib.org/libraries/crane/index.asp Crane Branch Library] in Buffalo, New York, which library patrons are invited to contribute their own names to. During the course of the installation, a new clear layer on top of the map is added every few days to give more people the opportunity to share and contribute, as well as create a literally layered archaeology of names that local people give to the landscape around them.<br />
<br />
Naming is essentially a social practice, and inscribes values and ideas about a place onto the literal physical landscape. A function of conquest, discovery, and historicization, naming places is usually left up to the strongest, history’s ''winners''. However, many places hold secret caches of names — whether they’re what the indigenous people used to call a nearby river, or the name your daughter first gave the grocery store, or a made-up language all your own. Many of these names get lost as people age, die, or move away. ''Buffalo(ve)'' is an attempt to preserve some of the hidden, personal, or inscrutable names that we give to our city.<br />

==Scott Ries &ndash; ''Aceeeh ino rrssstUv''==<br />
Taking the complete Beatles discography as one track arranged in chronological order (that in which they were released), I divide it into 0.1 sec segments (long enough not to produce a consistent tone, short enough to elude recognition), and then arrange those segments in order of their total energy over each of the 0.1 sec segments, from the least to the most. Each segment's first sample is zeroed at the previous segment's last sample, and the absolute value of its energy pointed towards zero. In other words, I rearrange the familiar Beatles chronology into barely recognizable segments following an entirely different chronology, that of the universe (from least energy to most, or from order to chaos), and point it, futilely, toward equilibrium. The complete track is then re-divided into the exact lengths of each album and track, and is released in the same chronology as were the correspondingly-long Beatles' albums (but could be played in its entirety and transferred easily online for an installation).<br />

''School of Perpetual Training'' is an ironic instructional training program that exposes the underbelly and not so glamorous side of the computer video game industry. Most people associate jobs in the computer video game industry with information-based labor such as 3D graphics and coding game programs. Yet the majority of the industry relies on the sweat and stamina of migrant and low-income laborers working for electronics contract manufacturers in developing countries.<br />
<br />
By following a series of training exercises, participants learn about the precarious employment and unjust labor conditions of workers in the areas of overseas digital game manufacturing and distribution. A virtual ''personal trainer'' created in Second Life leads participants through a series of training exercises that use motion detection and require full range of body motion to play. Rather than using a mouse or joystick, the motion detection demands the participants ''labor'' to complete the training exercises, emphasizing the extreme physical nature and motion economics of these jobs. The individual training exercises recontextualize popular classic arcade games – Dig Dug, Tapper, Space Invaders and Tetris – in order to ''train'' participants for jobs in mineral mining, printed circuit board assembly, box build and global shipping. At the end of the training program, participants can gauge their ''global market value'' to find out how much they are ''worth'' in contrast to white-collar workers in the industry and game company profits.<br />

<br />
Seit der Erfindung der Uhr und des Telegrafen sind Raum und Zeit in einen kulturell bedingtem Gleichschritt zusammengeschlossen. Der überregionale Zugverkehr führte zur Standardisierung von Fahrplänen und 1884 zur Einführung von [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12849630 Zeitzonen], deren räumliche Grenzen bis heute das Erleben der Welt bestimmen. Paradoxerweise hatte die Normierung der Zeit den Effekt, die Relativität von Raum und Zeit selbst in den banalsten Situationen zu Tage zu fördern. Von Jetlag über GPS zu der Synchronisation von Uhren, die sich scheinbar mit jedem neuem elektronischen Gerät multiplizieren, scheinen wir ständig in dem Gewässer des relativen und absoluten Raums und der relativen und absoluten Zeit zu treiben. Elektronische Kommunikationstechnologien wie Email und Echtzeit-Videostreams verstärken in unserem Alltag diesen Eindruck und lehren uns die relative Geschwindigkeit und Verzögerung vermittelter Zeit als gegeben hinzunehmen und uns ihr mit neuen gesellschaftlichen Konventionen und anderen ungeschrieben Verhaltensregeln anzupassen.<br />
<br />
Der Drang die Grenzen von Raum und Zeit zu durchbrechen ist von sich aus utopisch: kulturelle und geographische Unterschiede zu entfernen und anstatt dessen eine Gesellschaft zu etablieren in der Kommunikation eingebunden und unmittelbar ist, ist ein immerwährender jedoch schwer fassbarer Traum. Selbst wenn die Motivation dahinter ein starker Drang nach Austausch ist, kann der Wunsch Unterschiede in Kultur, Zugang, Zeit und Sprache in der Gegenwart totaler Gleichzeitigkeit aufzulösen natürlich nie vollständig sein. Übergangsloser bzw. verlustfreier Austausch wird immer von der in ihm enthaltenen Art der Kommunikation, Kultur und Technologie vereitelt. Manipulation von Raum und Zeit durch Aufzeichnungs- und Bearbeitungstechniken könnte letztendlich dazu führen, dass wir Zeit und Ort als bestimmten Zustand wahrnehmen, wobei solche Eingriffe die Erfahrung nie auf solch feste bzw. konkrete Begriffe reduzieren können.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' ist eine Ausstellung neuartiger Kunstwerken die diese Konzepte, Probleme und Potentiale erforschen durch eine Kollaboration zweier Institutionen, die aufgrund ihrer Geschichte ein großes Interesse an experimentellen Medienpraktiken haben. Angehörige des Studiengangs Medienkunst/Mediengestaltung der Bauhaus Universität Weimar und der [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Fakultät Media Study der State University of New York] in Buffalo haben sich zusammengetan um neue Projekte Seite an Seite mit Arbeiten international rennomierter Künstler zu präsentieren und eine Plattform für die Interaktionen der beiden Institutionen zu schaffen. Für diese Ausstellung suchen wir Arbeiten die einen Schwerpunkt auf der individuellen und kollektiven Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit die aus der vermittelten Wahrnehmung von Raum und Zeit durch Technologie hervorgeht. Von besonderem Interesse sind Arbeiten die das Konzept von Zeit als linear und dem Ort als fest erfolgreich hinterfragen, manipulieren oder auslöschen und damit die Richtung für alternative Erfahrungen und Konstruktionen von Raum, Zeit und Ort aufzeigen. Eindeutig gescheiterte Versuche werden als unausweichlich und interessant begrüßt, zum Beispiel das Scheitern von Technologie oder vermittelten sozialen Interaktionen um Unterschiede in Sprache, Kultur, Protokoll, etc. auszulöschen.<br />
<br />
==Time Mutations: Vertical Horizons==<br />
Since the invention of the clock and the telegraph, space and time have been harnessed to each other in a culturally imposed lock step. Standardizations in train time ultimately led to the establishment of global time zones that persist today in fundamentally structuring our daily experience of the world. Ironically, the standardization of time has had the effect of illuminating the relativity of time and space in even our most mundane experiences. From jet lag and GPS to the syncing of dozens of clocks that seem to multiply around us with every electronic device, we find ourselves constantly adrift in the waters of relative and absolute space and time. Electronic communications technologies from email to live real-time video streaming have intensified this experience in our daily lives, conditioning us to take for granted the relative speed – and lag – of mediated time and space, and to accommodate it with new social conventions and unwritten codes of behavior.<br />
<br />
The desire to collapse boundaries of space and time is inherently utopian. To erase cultural and geographic distinctions, and instead inhabit a community in which communication is integrated and instantaneous is a persistent, yet elusive dream. Even when motivated by a generous impulse toward exchange, the desire to dissolve difference in culture, access, time, place and language in the experience of total simultaneity can, of course, never be complete. Seamless or lossless exchange is always thwarted by the embodied nature of communication, culture and technology. Manipulations of time and space through recording and editing techniques may lead us to perceive time and location as particulate states, but ultimately such interventions can never fully reduce experience to such stable or concrete terms.<br />
<br />
''Time Mutations'' is an exhibition of new artworks that explore these concepts, challenges, and potentials, through a collaboration between two institutions that have historically been deeply invested in experimental media practice. Media practitioners from the [http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/en/media/media-art-and-design/study-programmes.html Media Art & Design Program at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar] and at the State University of New York at [http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu Buffalo’s Media Study Department] have come together to present new projects alongside works of internationally renowned artists and provide a platform for interaction between our institutions’ physical and research localities. For this exhibition we are seeking works that focus on individual and collective perceptions of space and time emerging from technologically mediated interaction and exchange. Of particular interest are works in which the concept of time as linear or location as static is successfully challenged, manipulated or collapsed, giving way to alternative experiences and constructions of time, space and place. Explicit failures in these attempts are embraced as both inevitable and interesting – for instance, the failure of technology or mediated social interactions to erase differences in language, cultural protocol, etc.<br />

Led by Prof. Ben Sassen & Kyd Campbell<br />
<br />
====class will be held in English====<br />
In this Werkmodul students will learn about planning and promoting multi-media events. Working together as part of a team, they will plan the 2010 edition of the Mani.Fest. The Mani.Fest is an annual event offering artists from Weimar who work with media and performing arts a platform to present their work. The event takes place over one evening during the Bauhaus' Summary, and in previous years has featured dance, theatre and live electronic music performances. Building on the success of last year’s Mani.Fest media performance showcase, this year we will aim to continue developing the Mani.Fest brand whilst once again creating a top quality audio/visual live event with an exciting program of Weimar acts. (See [http://www.bauhaus-manifest.com MANI.FEST] for more details of last year’s event)<br />
<br />
Students joining this Werkmodul will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in:<br />
<br />
* Creating and managing promotional campaigns<br />
* Working as part of an event production team<br />
* Managing an event budget<br />
* Installing equipment and technically producing live multi-media events<br />
* Using video to document live events<br />
* Booking and liaising with artists<br />
* Organising and working with venues<br />
* Managing relationships with sponsors<br />
<br />
To make Mani.Fest 2010 happen we are looking for a range of students who are able to work in different roles, including: graphic design, PR and press work, artist liaison, managing sponsors, VJing, web design and team leading. If one of these sounds like the job you would like to do then come join us!<br />

Students will take part in the multiple facets of producing the 3rd edition of MANI.FEST.<br />
<br />
Each will be responsible for documenting a part of the process and submitting a written report describing the work they have done during the project and dritical reflections on the project, at the end. This report must be submitted within 2 weeks following the festival date.<br />
<br />
==Eligible participants==<br />
Enrolled BFA, MFA and diploma students of the faculties of media, Gestaltung and participants of the media-architecture program.<br />
<br />
==Syllabus==<br />
* '''13.04.10''' first meeting, kick off lecture<br />
** REPORT: At this first class we introduced the concept of MANI.FEST and the current Weimar context for AV performance presentation. We looked at a number of artist examples, talked about some different festivals, including the Tiny Noise, and previous MANI.FEST events. We discussed the possibility of creating a context for artists to improvise together during the frame of the festivals, different venues, good time lengths for an AV event, and audience comfort vs. endurance.(k.c.)<br />
* '''16.04.10''' 18h15 - public presentation on noise and sound art and passed MANI.FESTS<br />
* '''20.04.10''' imagining our process<br />
** REPORT: After a second overall introduction to the idea of MANI.FEST and the background of our team members, we agreed on using the media faculty's WIKI for our documentation and on the subscription in selected media art related mailing lists. We presented some of our favourite performances/performers like Candice Breitz, Gabriel Shalom, a Radiohead’s music video [http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/creative/radiohead/ "House of Cards"], a performance by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2G3KfKbJwE Einstürtzende Neubauten] called [http://www.wega-film.at/?film_id=22-das-auge-des-taifun “Das Auge des Taifun”] and some video and audio from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1woMEExMZXg&feature=related Suicide] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-J8Rxfk6M8 Pan Sonic]. After this we described and looked towards all the steps of the project realization, listed resources and upcoming deadlines. According to this we discussed about our project’s funding/fund raising. In the middle of these considerations stood a precise discussion and attempt to define terms related to the art genre we will present within the context of MANI.FEST. [view](s.g.)<br />
* '''27.04.10''' Funding and Press Release<br />
**REPORT. During this weeks session we looked at media art (pre1979) and discussed our opinions on various works presented. We examined the creative fund guidelines and detailed points of focus for funding applications in general. We read our press release texts. For next week (an exercise in curatorial selection) we shall find a contemporary media performance work with detailed technical specifications. We will also explore Weimar for possible venues and work further on our press release.<br />

* '''04.05.10'''<br />
**REPORT: By searching for artists taking part in current festivals we found three interesting ones and studied their Tech-Riders. It's important to know exactly what we need and when we need it. We started to make a plan about every fact that's necessary to arrange a well working festival in time. Before every step the festivals identity must be clear to get in contact with artists, sponsors, press and audience. By open call we'll try to find artists. A central e-mail address is needed for Mani.fests authenticity.<br />

===General comment===<br />
<br />
Under the direction of Associate Professor of Experimental Television, Ben Sassen, and<br />
Kyd Campbell curator / artist I was involved in the Mani.fest III event.<br />
My main focus here was the press and public relations of the small<br />
Media arts festival. I planned in cooperation with the other student team members<br />
and led the integrated and comprehensive communication and publications of the Mani.fest<br />
III event not only in the target group of Mani.fest III, but also the summaery 2010th event.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Project Responsibilities==<br />
<br />
<br />
===Editorial===<br />
Building on previous Mani.fest events I developed a presentation text in consultation with the 2010 team Mani.fest. I developed the call for artists submissions. Working closely with the designers of Mani.fest III I planned the structure and operation of the website and wrote the web texts.<br />
<br />
I also helped the preparations for the event with advertising and Documentation texts in the form of press releases. These were communicated to the public through the website Mani.fest III, facebook and myspace profiles, the Piazza, the Faculty of Media communications department, the central press office of the Bauhaus University of Weimar and the organization summaery 2010. I Also edited micro-texts, which were needed in other areas.<br />
I conceived and edited the brochure for manifest III which was publicly available. After the event I wrote a press review for the arc, the University Journal of BU Weimar. I wrote the texts in German and mostly in English.<br />
<br />
===Communications===<br />
The successful communication of Mani.fest III to the public was a gradual and long-term procurement<br />
involving several steps. In addition to building a public web presence there was a progressive intra-university presence of Mani.fest III. on the university information platform “Piazza” which was <br />
under my leadership. In cooperation with the Mani.fest III team, I accompanied two pre-events of<br />
Mani.fest III that enhanced the profile of Mani.fest III in Weimar’s city center in the eyes of our target audience, Joe Public.<br />
The second pre-event I conducted in collaboration with the team as a press conference by. I invited representatives of the press, during the pre-managed events, conducted interviews and gave out press kits. I built a self-researched, personal and extensive mailing list to promote the Mani.fest event.<br />
In advance of the event I intensified communication of Mani.fest with frequent posts on the piazza and i Organised and implemented flyer and poster distribution in Erfurt, Jena and Weimar. <br />
On the weekend before the event Mani.fest I went with my team in Baroque costume and distributed according to the pre-event strategy flyers in Weimar’s city center. Also I initiated and mediated the contact between the Mani.fest III event with the summaery 2010 Organization and other institutions. I also sent promotional material to the Artists of Mani.fest III.<br />
<br />
On the day of Mani.fest III event, I interviewed several artists for the documentation of the program.<br />
During the event I attended Mani.fest III Members of the media and gave interviews to interested media.<br />
I also helped with the recording of Mani.fest III team meetings.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Advertising===<br />
In Addition to the multiple presences on the net, I achieved coverage in the regional daily newspapers. I was able to use the reputation of the University communication and press department of the Faculty of Media to help further our coverage and success in gaining press interest. This included the placement of one banner on the main page of the BU Weimar, a date entry on the main page and on the faculty pages, and integration into the extensive summaery - advertising BU Weimar, and in particular the website of the summaery 2010th. In addition, I communicated on varied topics, both of specific concern and general interest (ie: Artist Submissions) within the cultural community of the Mani.fest III event.<br />
<br />
===Planning===<br />
Besides my main task of public relations, I worked in Cooperation with the Mani.fest III team in planning the event. I discussed with my colleagues, the concept and objectives of our work for the Weimar Media art scene, laid down dates and deadlines, helped with the ideas of the other Work areas, such as graphics and video design. I also researched possible venues for the event and secured the AUDIMAX for the event.<br />
<br />
===Organisation & Implementation===<br />
In the main - the organization phase, I coordinated the guest team and partner list and the Invitation of the Japanese media artist Shingo Inao. I made my apartment available as a storage location for the event equipment. I also tried to secure sponsorship for the catering. On race day, I took temporary jobs at the venue. During the Mani.fest III event, I took care of the cash register, entry and bar, financial and supervisory aspects. On the very evening I counted the takings for the event.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Critical Comments==<br />
<br />
<br />
My involvement in Mani.fest III project was exciting and challenging. Whilst it was an established festival and the program and organisation of the festival was weak, through consistent and inspiring strategies our PR activities made up for other areas of weakness. On the university level I developed very good relations that brought broad support and a high awareness of the event. I Also succeeded to motivate visitors to come to the Mani.fest III event, despite the entrance fee which can often deter student attendance and despite the event being at the end of a long summaery weekend.<br />
<br />
Also my press work saw exposure thüringen wide, not only with informative, but also journalistic content. Mani.fest III was increased by my efforts as one of the highlights of the summaery event and also considered as advertised by the university.<br />
<br />
Also, I succeeded in interviews with press representatives to portray Mani.fest III in a positive light despite my concern for the quality of the performers.This was as the greatest challenge for me as in my estimation the project Mani.fest III had a serious quality problem rooted in the few and inadequate submissions submitted. In addition, i believe the overal concept, design and pre-events were weak which made it difficult to promotte. To improve the interaction of the individual sections of the team i think it would be wise to select team members based on interest and ability rather than open submission with the aim of creating an uncompromising event. <br />

<br />
==Critical Comments==<br />
In the beginning it looked like we would never be prepared in time for the event. Preparations were proceeding very slowly. We engaged in media related theorethical discussions around a framework of selected artists and events. This in retrospect was quite good but to get a little more understanding of what our featured artists do on the stage. I gathered a lot of experience and am glad to have taken part in this course, even if it was at one time or another a little stressful. The teamwork has worked up to a few exceptions, very good, which has saved me personally a couple of sleepless nights.<br />
During the first theoretical meeting, Ben Sassen was present and taking part in our course however, soon Kyd Campbell took the lead of the course. During the preparations for the event the team had hardly any contact with Ben so I can not comment on his contribution to the project. Kyd provided a lot of support during the whole process and directed or tasks professionally. She was always there when you needed help or had questions. Without her it would have been a lot harder to put on the event.<br />
<br />
Communication methods were a cause of some stress. It might be better to communicate another way. Although it has all worked out very well by e-mail, there was a lot of confusion along the way. Email and goolgle docs are a good comunication tools but perhaps something else could be used to affect more reliable communications, so we can be sure that messages are recieved etc.<br />

==Project Responsibilities==<br />
===Press Release Ideas===<br />
Developed ideas for press releases aimed at radio and webzines. The goal was to relate media art to topics already in the public domain like sustainability, surveillance games and hygiene. I developed two press releases.<br />
1:Manifest 111 in Pythagorean style <br />
2:Media Art Performance, Facebook, The Nintendo Wii, The iPhone and your Toothbrush.<br />
<br />
===Research===<br />
Researched liberal and conservative festivals as a comparative study with the aim of understanding how to position the manifest event. The liberal festival I chose was http://modisti.com with a mix of contemporary and historical presentations that matched the Manifest goal of placing new media in established settings.<br />
The conservative was a historical clarion festival whose presentation was very formal. We also researched tech riders. We spoke about the qualities of a good and bad tech rider and developed criteria that we would follow when assessing our applicants riders. We each presented a tech rider we thought was good. I chose Peal by monomatic.<br />
<br />
===The wiki=== <br />
Placed minutes on the wiki and designed and uploaded project feedback.<br />
<br />
===Development of Creative Text=== <br />
Helped to finalise the creative text with editorial suggestions.<br />
<br />
===Business Cards Production and Distribution===<br />
Developed with Robert and Dagmar the Business Cards. This involved a detailed development of the text with several reviews and rewrites before the final product was realised. The Bilingual cards in English and German necessitated careful translation to ensure the same vibe and intent was communicated in both languages. The reason for using English and German was to to reflect the international aspect of Weimar and Manifest. I Worked closely with Robert on the design. Printed and cut the cards and distributed them in cafes and venues around the city. The cards were printed in English and German. They were also handed out on the night of the museum event.<br />
<br />
===Self-Promotion for Artists=== <br />
Worked with Dagmar and Kyd in developing and presenting a workshop aimed at potential Artists. This involved a presentation at the Mani.fest Workshop @ Freie Klasse. The workshop covered topics such as artist documentation, artist application procedures and the art of selling yourself to festivals.<br />
<br />
===Press Pre-Event===<br />
Following the design of the original website Robert worked on, we developed a historical context in our promotions in order to mirror one of Manifests goals, that of placing works of media art in the minds of a wider audience. Out of the subcultural haunts and into the mainstream mindset.<br />
We staged two events, the first was a photo shoot in the Park. We employed the park as stage andwore period dress and held laptops and mics etc in contrast. This was developed further in the animations for the website.The photos were used as advertising for the project and proved very successful at gaining interest from the wider public.<br />
<br />
===PressPack===<br />
I developed the idea of a mask in the style of a ballroom mask, again connecting with the historical weimar and making 3D glasses with them to be used in a press pack. I developed two proto-types.<br />
<br />
===Application Management===<br />
I took responsibility for dealing with applications that came into the email account. I responded to all applicants and requested more information where necessary. I set up a spreadsheet so as to easily see what we had and what we needed from the artists. We also used the spreadsheet to voice opinions of the work, whether we liked it etc.<br />
<br />
===Communication===<br />
I made contact with SEAM and arranged a meeting with Constantine in order to discuss the partnership with SEAM. Issues to be discussed were sound system and insurance.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Critical Comments==<br />
As a student led initiative students access to the budget was through the teachers. What was an acceptable expense? Should the treasurer be student or teacher? In terms of experiments in success and failure the potential to learn from these kinds of decisions was coloured by the fact that the treasurer was a teacher.<br />
<br />
Communication was largely text based which was the cause of some misunderstandings. The collaborative relationship was strong in the group. It was my first experience of an event management project of this scale and overall I found it a very rewarding thing to do. I learned a lot that I can apply to my own practice.<br />

==Critical Comments==<br />
Mani.fest III is an extraordinary international art festival. With nearly no budget but highly enthusiastic staff willing to do what ever it takes- it was a unique experience. Providing a professional public platform fro new media interdisciplinary performance art in weimar with most of the project members being non-professionals required everyone to do their<br />
best.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I would like to propose certain improvements for the up- coming Mani.Fests. First, the search for an appropriate framework of the Mani.fest should be a major priority. I considered the Audimax not to be a suitable venue for a cutting edge performance art festival, due to its technical limitations (non-existing drape) as well as the sobriety of its interior design.<br />
<br />
The search for artists should be extended. Publishing the call for propos- also soley on the web doesn’t create enough attention for Manifest as you could tell by the fact that we haven’t been flooded with applications and even extended the time frame for proposals. Publicity especially towards possible artists could be achieved with extra call out posters ondisplay in university hot spots, local galleries etc.<br />

<br />
In this Werkmodul students will learn about planning and promoting multi-media events. Working together as part of a team, they will plan the 2010 edition of the Mani.Fest. The Mani.Fest is an annual event offering artists from Weimar who work with media and performing arts a platform to present their work. The event takes place over one evening during the Bauhaus' Summary, and in previous years has featured dance, theatre and live electronic music performances. Building on the success of last year’s Mani.Fest media performance showcase, this year we will aim to continue developing the Mani.Fest brand whilst once again creating a top quality audio/visual live event with an exciting program of Weimar acts. (See [http://www.bauhaus-manifest.com MANI.FEST] for more details of last year’s event)<br />
<br />
Students joining this Werkmodul will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in:<br />
<br />
- Creating and managing promotional campaigns<br />
- Working as part of an event production team<br />
- Managing an event budget<br />
- Installing equipment and technically producing live multi-media events<br />
- Using video to document live events<br />
- Booking and liaising with artists<br />
- Organising and working with venues<br />
- Managing relationships with sponsors<br />
<br />
To make Mani.Fest 2010 happen we are looking for a range of students who are able to work in different roles, including: graphic design, PR and press work, artist liaison, managing sponsors, VJing, web design and team leading. If one of these sounds like the job you would like to do then come join us!<br />

<br />
==Syllabus==<br />
* '''13.04.10''' first meeting, kick off lecture<br />
** REPORT: At this first class we introduced the concept of MANI.FEST and the current Weimar context for AV performance presentation. We looked at a number of artist examples, talked about some different festivals, including the Tiny Noise, and previous MANI.FEST events. We discussed the possibility of creating a context for artists to improvise together during the frame of the festivals, different venues, good time lengths for an AV event, and audience comfort vs. endurance.(k.c.)<br />
* '''16.04.10''' 18h15 - public presentation on noise and sound art and passed MANI.FESTS<br />
* '''20.04.10''' imagining our process<br />
** REPORT: After a second overall introduction to the idea of MANI.FEST and the background of our team members, we agreed on using the media faculty's WIKI for our documentation and on the subscription in selected media art related mailing lists. We presented some of our favourite performances/performers like Candice Breitz, Gabriel Shalom, a Radiohead’s music video [http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/creative/radiohead/ "House of Cards"], a performance by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2G3KfKbJwE Einstürtzende Neubauten] called [http://www.wega-film.at/?film_id=22-das-auge-des-taifun “Das Auge des Taifun”] and some video and audio from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1woMEExMZXg&feature=related Suicide] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-J8Rxfk6M8 Pan Sonic]. After this we described and looked towards all the steps of the project realization, listed resources and upcoming deadlines. According to this we discussed about our project’s funding/fund raising. In the middle of these considerations stood a precise discussion and attempt to define terms related to the art genre we will present within the context of MANI.FEST. [view](s.g.)<br />
* '''27.04.10''' Funding and Press Release<br />
**REPORT. During this weeks session we looked at media art (pre1979) and discussed our opinions on various works presented. We examined the creative fund guidelines and detailed points of focus for funding applications in general. We read our press release texts. For next week (an exercise in curatorial selection) we shall find a contemporary media performance work with detailed technical specifications. We will also explore Weimar for possible venues and work further on our press release.<br />

* '''04.05.10'''<br />
**REPORT: By searching for artists taking part in current festivals we found three interesting ones and studied their Tech-Riders. It's important to know exactly what we need and when we need it. We started to make a plan about every fact that's necessary to arrange a well working festival in time. Before every step the festivals identity must be clear to get in contact with artists, sponsors, press and audience. By open call we'll try to find artists. A central e-mail address is needed for Mani.fests authenticity.<br />

===General comment===<br />
<br />
Under the direction of Associate Professor of Experimental Television, Ben Sassen, and<br />
Kyd Campbell curator / artist I was involved in the Mani.fest III event.<br />
My main focus here was the press and public relations of the small<br />
Media arts festival. I planned in cooperation with the other student team members<br />
and led the integrated and comprehensive communication and publications of the Mani.fest<br />
III event not only in the target group of Mani.fest III, but also the summaery 2010th event.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Project Responsibilities==<br />
<br />
<br />
===Editorial===<br />
Building on previous Mani.fest events I developed a presentation text in consultation with the 2010 team Mani.fest. I developed the call for artists submissions. Working closely with the designers of Mani.fest III I planned the structure and operation of the website and wrote the web texts.<br />
<br />
I also helped the preparations for the event with advertising and Documentation texts in the form of press releases. These were communicated to the public through the website Mani.fest III, facebook and myspace profiles, the Piazza, the Faculty of Media communications department, the central press office of the Bauhaus University of Weimar and the organization summaery 2010. I Also edited micro-texts, which were needed in other areas.<br />
I conceived and edited the brochure for manifest III which was publicly available. After the event I wrote a press review for the arc, the University Journal of BU Weimar. I wrote the texts in German and mostly in English.<br />
<br />
===Communications===<br />
The successful communication of Mani.fest III to the public was a gradual and long-term procurement<br />
involving several steps. In addition to building a public web presence there was a progressive intra-university presence of Mani.fest III. on the university information platform “Piazza” which was <br />
under my leadership. In cooperation with the Mani.fest III team, I accompanied two pre-events of<br />
Mani.fest III that enhanced the profile of Mani.fest III in Weimar’s city center in the eyes of our target audience, Joe Public.<br />
The second pre-event I conducted in collaboration with the team as a press conference by. I invited representatives of the press, during the pre-managed events, conducted interviews and gave out press kits. I built a self-researched, personal and extensive mailing list to promote the Mani.fest event.<br />
In advance of the event I intensified communication of Mani.fest with frequent posts on the piazza and i Organised and implemented flyer and poster distribution in Erfurt, Jena and Weimar. <br />
On the weekend before the event Mani.fest I went with my team in Baroque costume and distributed according to the pre-event strategy flyers in Weimar’s city center. Also I initiated and mediated the contact between the Mani.fest III event with the summaery 2010 Organization and other institutions. I also sent promotional material to the Artists of Mani.fest III.<br />
<br />
On the day of Mani.fest III event, I interviewed several artists for the documentation of the program.<br />
During the event I attended Mani.fest III Members of the media and gave interviews to interested media.<br />
I also helped with the recording of Mani.fest III team meetings.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Advertising===<br />
In Addition to the multiple presences on the net, I achieved coverage in the regional daily newspapers. I was able to use the reputation of the University communication and press department of the Faculty of Media to help further our coverage and success in gaining press interest. This included the placement of one banner on the main page of the BU Weimar, a date entry on the main page and on the faculty pages, and integration into the extensive summaery - advertising BU Weimar, and in particular the website of the summaery 2010th. In addition, I communicated on varied topics, both of specific concern and general interest (ie: Artist Submissions) within the cultural community of the Mani.fest III event.<br />
<br />
===Planning===<br />
Besides my main task of public relations, I worked in Cooperation with the Mani.fest III team in planning the event. I discussed with my colleagues, the concept and objectives of our work for the Weimar Media art scene, laid down dates and deadlines, helped with the ideas of the other Work areas, such as graphics and video design. I also researched possible venues for the event and secured the AUDIMAX for the event.<br />
<br />
===Organisation & Implementation===<br />
In the main - the organization phase, I coordinated the guest team and partner list and the Invitation of the Japanese media artist Shingo Inao. I made my apartment available as a storage location for the event equipment. I also tried to secure sponsorship for the catering. On race day, I took temporary jobs at the venue. During the Mani.fest III event, I took care of the cash register, entry and bar, financial and supervisory aspects. On the very evening I counted the takings for the event.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Critical Comments==<br />
<br />
<br />
My involvement in Mani.fest III project was exciting and challenging. Whilst it was an established festival and the program and organisation of the festival was weak, through consistent and inspiring strategies our PR activities made up for other areas of weakness. On the university level I developed very good relations that brought broad support and a high awareness of the event. I Also succeeded to motivate visitors to come to the Mani.fest III event, despite the entrance fee which can often deter student attendance and despite the event being at the end of a long summaery weekend.<br />
<br />
Also my press work saw exposure thüringen wide, not only with informative, but also journalistic content. Mani.fest III was increased by my efforts as one of the highlights of the summaery event and also considered as advertised by the university.<br />
<br />
Also, I succeeded in interviews with press representatives to portray Mani.fest III in a positive light despite my concern for the quality of the performers.This was as the greatest challenge for me as in my estimation the project Mani.fest III had a serious quality problem rooted in the few and inadequate submissions submitted. In addition, i believe the overal concept, design and pre-events were weak which made it difficult to promotte. To improve the interaction of the individual sections of the team i think it would be wise to select team members based on interest and ability rather than open submission with the aim of creating an uncompromising event. <br />

==Critical Comments==<br />
<br />
In the beginning it looked like we would never be prepared in time for the event. Preparations were proceeding very slowly. We engaged in media related theorethical discussions around a framework of selected artists and events. This in retrospect was quite good but to get a little more understanding of what our featured artists do on the stage. I gathered a lot of experience and am glad to have taken part in this course, even if it was at one time or another a little stressful. The teamwork has worked up to a few exceptions, very good, which has saved me personally a couple of sleepless nights.<br />
During the first theoretical meeting, Ben Sassen was present and taking part in our course however, soon Kyd Campbell took the lead of the course. During the preparations for the event the team had hardly any contact with Ben so I can not comment on his contribution to the project. Kyd provided a lot of support during the whole process and directed or tasks professionally. She was always there when you needed help or had questions. Without her it would have been a lot harder to put on the event.<br />
<br />
Communication methods were a cause of some stress. It might be better to communicate another way. Although it has all worked out very well by e-mail, there was a lot of confusion along the way. Email and goolgle docs are a good comunication tools but perhaps something else could be used to affect more reliable communications, so we can be sure that messages are recieved etc.<br />

==Project Responsibilities==<br />
<br />
===Press Release Ideas===<br />
Developed ideas for press releases aimed at radio and webzines. The goal was to relate media art to topics already in the public domain like sustainability, surveillance games and hygiene. I developed two press releases.<br />
1:Manifest 111 in Pythagorean style <br />
2:Media Art Performance, Facebook, The Nintendo Wii, The iPhone and your Toothbrush.<br />
<br />
===Research===<br />
Researched liberal and conservative festivals as a comparative study with the aim of understanding how to position the manifest event. The liberal festival I chose was http://modisti.com with a mix of contemporary and historical presentations that matched the Manifest goal of placing new media in established settings.<br />
The conservative was a historical clarion festival whose presentation was very formal. We also researched tech riders. We spoke about the qualities of a good and bad tech rider and developed criteria that we would follow when assessing our applicants riders. We each presented a tech rider we thought was good. I chose Peal by monomatic.<br />
<br />
===The wiki=== <br />
Placed minutes on the wiki.<br />
<br />
===Development of Creative Text=== <br />
Helped to finalise the creative text with editorial suggestions.<br />
<br />
===Business Cards Production and Distribution===<br />
Developed with Robert and Dagmar the Business Cards. This involved a detailed development of the text with several reviews and rewrites before the final product was realised. The Bilingual cards in English and German necessitated careful translation to ensure the same vibe and intent was communicated in both languages. The reason for using English and German was to to reflect the international aspect of Weimar and Manifest. I Worked closely with Robert on the design. Printed and cut the cards and distributed them in cafes and venues around the city. The cards were printed in English and German. They were also handed out on the night of the museum event.<br />
<br />
===Self-Promotion for Artists=== <br />
Worked with Dagmar and Kyd in developing and presenting a workshop aimed at potential Artists. This involved a presentation at the Mani.fest Workshop @ Freie Klasse. The workshop covered topics such as artist documentation, artist application procedures and the art of selling yourself to festivals.<br />
<br />
===Press Pre-Event===<br />
Following the design of the original website Robert worked on, we developed a historical context in our promotions in order to mirror one of Manifests goals, that of placing works of media art in the minds of a wider audience. Out of the subcultural haunts and into the mainstream mindset.<br />
We staged two events, the first was a photo shoot in the Park. We employed the park as stage andwore period dress and held laptops and mics etc in contrast. This was developed further in the animations for the website.The photos were used as advertising for the project and proved very successful at gaining interest from the wider public.<br />
<br />
===PressPack===<br />
I developed the idea of a mask in the style of a ballroom mask, again connecting with the historical weimar and making 3D glasses with them to be used in a press pack. I developed two proto-types.<br />
<br />
===Application Management===<br />
I took responsibility for dealing with applications that came into the email account. I responded to all applicants and requested more information where necessary. I set up a spreadsheet so as to easily see what we had and what we needed from the artists. We also used the spreadsheet to voice opinions of the work, whether we liked it etc.<br />
<br />
===Communication===<br />
I made contact with SEAM and arranged a meeting with Constantine in order to discuss the partnership with SEAM. Issues to be discussed were sound system and insurance.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Critical Comments==<br />
<br />
As a student led initiative students access to the budget was through the teachers. What was an acceptable expense? Should the treasurer be student or teacher? In terms of experiments in success and failure the potential to learn from these kinds of decisions was coloured by the fact that the treasurer was a teacher.<br />
<br />
Communication was largely text based which was the cause of some misunderstandings. The collaborative relationship was strong in the group. It was my first experience of an event management project of this scale and overall I found it a very rewarding thing to do. I learned a lot that I can apply to my own practice.<br />

==Critical Comments==<br />
<br />
Mani.fest III is an extraordinary international art festival. With nearly no budget but highly enthusiastic staff willing to do what ever it takes- it was a unique experience. Providing a professional public platform fro new media interdisciplinary performance art in weimar with most of the project members being non-professionals required everyone to do their<br />
best.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I would like to propose certain improvements for the up- coming Mani.Fests. First, the search for an appropriate framework of the Mani.fest should be a major priority. I considered the Audimax not to be a suitable venue for a cutting edge performance art festival, due to its technical limitations (non-existing drape) as well as the sobriety of its interior design.<br />
<br />
The search for artists should be extended. Publishing the call for propos- also soley on the web doesn’t create enough attention for Manifest as you could tell by the fact that we haven’t been flooded with applications and even extended the time frame for proposals. Publicity especially towards possible artists could be achieved with extra call out posters ondisplay in university hot spots, local galleries etc.<br />

[[Image:Manifest_sm_web.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]<br />
<br />
Led by Prof. Ben Sassen & Kyd Campbell<br />
<br />
'''class will be held in English'''<br /><br />
<br />
In this Werkmodul students will learn about planning and promoting multi-media events. Working together as part of a team, they will plan the 2010 edition of the Mani.Fest. The Mani.Fest is an annual event offering artists from Weimar who work with media and performing arts a platform to present their work. The event takes place over one evening during the Bauhaus' Summary, and in previous years has featured dance, theatre and live electronic music performances. Building on the success of last year’s Mani.Fest media performance showcase, this year we will aim to continue developing the Mani.Fest brand whilst once again creating a top quality audio/visual live event with an exciting program of Weimar acts. (See [http://www.bauhaus-manifest.com MANI.FEST] for more details of last year’s event)<br />
<br />
Students joining this Werkmodul will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in:<br />
<br />
- Creating and managing promotional campaigns<br />
- Working as part of an event production team<br />
- Managing an event budget<br />
- Installing equipment and technically producing live multi-media events<br />
- Using video to document live events<br />
- Booking and liaising with artists<br />
- Organising and working with venues<br />
- Managing relationships with sponsors<br />
<br />
To make Mani.Fest 2010 happen we are looking for a range of students who are able to work in different roles, including: graphic design, PR and press work, artist liaison, managing sponsors, VJing, web design and team leading.

Enrolled BFA, MFA and diploma students of the faculties of media, Gestaltung and participants of the media-architecture program.<br />
<br />
==Syllabus==<br />
* '''13.04.10''' first meeting, kick off lecture<br />
** REPORT: At this first class we introduced the concept of MANI.FEST and the current Weimar context for AV performance presentation. We looked at a number of artist examples, talked about some different festivals, including the Tiny Noise, and previous MANI.FEST events. We discussed the possibility of creating a context for artists to improvise together during the frame of the festivals, different venues, good time lengths for an AV event, and audience comfort vs. endurance.(k.c.)<br />
* '''16.04.10''' 18h15 - public presentation on noise and sound art and passed MANI.FESTS<br />
* '''20.04.10''' imagining our process<br />
** REPORT: After a second overall introduction to the idea of MANI.FEST and the background of our team members, we agreed on using the media faculty's WIKI for our documentation and on the subscription in selected media art related mailing lists. We presented some of our favourite performances/performers like Candice Breitz, Gabriel Shalom, a Radiohead’s music video [http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/creative/radiohead/ "House of Cards"], a performance by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2G3KfKbJwE Einstürtzende Neubauten] called [http://www.wega-film.at/?film_id=22-das-auge-des-taifun “Das Auge des Taifun”] and some video and audio from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1woMEExMZXg&feature=related Suicide] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-J8Rxfk6M8 Pan Sonic]. After this we described and looked towards all the steps of the project realization, listed resources and upcoming deadlines. According to this we discussed about our project’s funding/fund raising. In the middle of these considerations stood a precise discussion and attempt to define terms related to the art genre we will present within the context of MANI.FEST. [view](s.g.)<br />
* '''27.04.10''' Funding and Press Release<br />
**REPORT. During this weeks session we looked at media art (pre1979) and discussed our opinions on various works presented. We examined the creative fund guidelines and detailed points of focus for funding applications in general. We read our press release texts. For next week (an exercise in curatorial selection) we shall find a contemporary media performance work with detailed technical specifications. We will also explore Weimar for possible venues and work further on our press release.<br />

* '''04.05.10'''<br />
**REPORT: By searching for artists taking part in current festivals we found three interesting ones and studied their Tech-Riders. It's important to know exactly what we need and when we need it. We started to make a plan about every fact that's necessary to arrange a well working festival in time. Before every step the festivals identity must be clear to get in contact with artists, sponsors, press and audience. By open call we'll try to find artists. A central e-mail address is needed for Mani.fests authenticity.<br />

==Critical Comments==<br />
<br />
In the beginning it looked like we would never be prepared in time for the event. Preparations were proceeding very slowly. We engaged in media related theorethical discussions around a framework of selected artists and events. This in retrospect was quite good but to get a little more understanding of what our featured artists do on the stage. I gathered a lot of experience and am glad to have taken part in this course, even if it was at one time or another a little stressful. The teamwork has worked up to a few exceptions, very good, which has saved me personally a couple of sleepless nights.<br />
During the first theoretical meeting, Ben Sassen was present and taking part in our course however, soon Kyd Campbell took the lead of the course. During the preparations for the event the team had hardly any contact with Ben so I can not comment on his contribution to the project. Kyd provided a lot of support during the whole process and directed or tasks professionally. She was always there when you needed help or had questions. Without her it would have been a lot harder to put on the event.<br />
<br />
Communication methods were a cause of some stress. It might be better to communicate another way. Although it has all worked out very well by e-mail, there was a lot of confusion along the way. Email and goolgle docs are a good comunication tools but perhaps something else could be used to affect more reliable communications, so we can be sure that messages are recieved etc.<br />

===General comment===<br />
<br />
Under the direction of Associate Professor of Experimental Television, Ben Sassen, and<br />
Kyd Campbell curator / artist I was involved in the Mani.fest III event.<br />
My main focus here was the press and public relations of the small<br />
Media arts festival. I planned in cooperation with the other student team members<br />
and led the integrated and comprehensive communication and publications of the Mani.fest<br />
III event not only in the target group of Mani.fest III, but also the summaery 2010th event.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Project Responsibilities==<br />
<br />
<br />
===Editorial===<br />
Building on previous Mani.fest events I developed a presentation text in consultation with the 2010 team Mani.fest. I developed the call for artists submissions. Working closely with the designers of Mani.fest III I planned the structure and operation of the website and wrote the web texts.<br />
<br />
I also helped the preparations for the event with advertising and Documentation texts in the form of press releases. These were communicated to the public through the website Mani.fest III, facebook and myspace profiles, the Piazza, the Faculty of Media communications department, the central press office of the Bauhaus University of Weimar and the organization summaery 2010. I Also edited micro-texts, which were needed in other areas.<br />
I conceived and edited the brochure for manifest III which was publicly available. After the event I wrote a press review for the arc, the University Journal of BU Weimar. I wrote the texts in German and mostly in English.<br />
<br />
===Communications===<br />
The successful communication of Mani.fest III to the public was a gradual and long-term procurement<br />
involving several steps. In addition to building a public web presence there was a progressive intra-university presence of Mani.fest III. on the university information platform “Piazza” which was <br />
under my leadership. In cooperation with the Mani.fest III team, I accompanied two pre-events of<br />
Mani.fest III that enhanced the profile of Mani.fest III in Weimar’s city center in the eyes of our target audience, Joe Public.<br />
The second pre-event I conducted in collaboration with the team as a press conference by. I invited representatives of the press, during the pre-managed events, conducted interviews and gave out press kits. I built a self-researched, personal and extensive mailing list to promote the Mani.fest event.<br />
In advance of the event I intensified communication of Mani.fest with frequent posts on the piazza and i Organised and implemented flyer and poster distribution in Erfurt, Jena and Weimar. <br />
On the weekend before the event Mani.fest I went with my team in Baroque costume and distributed according to the pre-event strategy flyers in Weimar’s city center. Also I initiated and mediated the contact between the Mani.fest III event with the summaery 2010 Organization and other institutions. I also sent promotional material to the Artists of Mani.fest III.<br />
<br />
On the day of Mani.fest III event, I interviewed several artists for the documentation of the program.<br />
During the event I attended Mani.fest III Members of the media and gave interviews to interested media.<br />
I also helped with the recording of Mani.fest III team meetings.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Advertising===<br />
In Addition to the multiple presences on the net, I achieved coverage in the regional daily newspapers. I was able to use the reputation of the University communication and press department of the Faculty of Media to help further our coverage and success in gaining press interest. This included the placement of one banner on the main page of the BU Weimar, a date entry on the main page and on the faculty pages, and integration into the extensive summaery - advertising BU Weimar, and in particular the website of the summaery 2010th. In addition, I communicated on varied topics, both of specific concern and general interest (ie: Artist Submissions) within the cultural community of the Mani.fest III event.<br />
<br />
===Planning===<br />
Besides my main task of public relations, I worked in Cooperation with the Mani.fest III team in planning the event. I discussed with my colleagues, the concept and objectives of our work for the Weimar Media art scene, laid down dates and deadlines, helped with the ideas of the other Work areas, such as graphics and video design. I also researched possible venues for the event and secured the AUDIMAX for the event.<br />
<br />
===Organisation & Implementation===<br />
In the main - the organization phase, I coordinated the guest team and partner list and the Invitation of the Japanese media artist Shingo Inao. I made my apartment available as a storage location for the event equipment. I also tried to secure sponsorship for the catering. On race day, I took temporary jobs at the venue. During the Mani.fest III event, I took care of the cash register, entry and bar, financial and supervisory aspects. On the very evening I counted the takings for the event.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Critical Comments==<br />
<br />
<br />
My involvement in Mani.fest III project was exciting and challenging. Whilst it was an established festival and the program and organisation of the festival was weak, through consistent and inspiring strategies our PR activities made up for other areas of weakness. On the university level I developed very good relations that brought broad support and a high awareness of the event. I Also succeeded to motivate visitors to come to the Mani.fest III event, despite the entrance fee which can often deter student attendance and despite the event being at the end of a long summaery weekend.<br />
<br />
Also my press work saw exposure thüringen wide, not only with informative, but also journalistic content. Mani.fest III was increased by my efforts as one of the highlights of the summaery event and also considered as advertised by the university.<br />
<br />
Also, I succeeded in interviews with press representatives to portray Mani.fest III in a positive light despite my concern for the quality of the performers.This was as the greatest challenge for me as in my estimation the project Mani.fest III had a serious quality problem rooted in the few and inadequate submissions submitted. In addition, i believe the overal concept, design and pre-events were weak which made it difficult to promotte. To improve the interaction of the individual sections of the team i think it would be wise to select team members based on interest and ability rather than open submission with the aim of creating an uncompromising event. <br />

==Project Responsibilities==<br />
<br />
===Press Release Ideas===<br />
Developed ideas for press releases aimed at radio and webzines. The goal was to relate media art to topics already in the public domain like sustainability, surveillance games and hygiene. I developed two press releases.<br />
1:Manifest 111 in Pythagorean style <br />
2:Media Art Performance, Facebook, The Nintendo Wii, The iPhone and your Toothbrush.<br />
<br />
===Research===<br />
Researched liberal and conservative festivals as a comparative study with the aim of understanding how to position the manifest event. The liberal festival I chose was http://modisti.com with a mix of contemporary and historical presentations that matched the Manifest goal of placing new media in established settings.<br />
The conservative was a historical clarion festival whose presentation was very formal. We also researched tech riders. We spoke about the qualities of a good and bad tech rider and developed criteria that we would follow when assessing our applicants riders. We each presented a tech rider we thought was good. I chose Peal by monomatic.<br />
<br />
===The wiki=== <br />
Placed minutes on the wiki.<br />
<br />
===Development of Creative Text=== <br />
Helped to finalise the creative text with editorial suggestions.<br />
<br />
===Business Cards Production and Distribution===<br />
Developed with Robert and Dagmar the Business Cards. This involved a detailed development of the text with several reviews and rewrites before the final product was realised. The Bilingual cards in English and German necessitated careful translation to ensure the same vibe and intent was communicated in both languages. The reason for using English and German was to to reflect the international aspect of Weimar and Manifest. I Worked closely with Robert on the design. Printed and cut the cards and distributed them in cafes and venues around the city. The cards were printed in English and German. They were also handed out on the night of the museum event.<br />
<br />
===Self-Promotion for Artists=== <br />
Worked with Dagmar and Kyd in developing and presenting a workshop aimed at potential Artists. This involved a presentation at the Mani.fest Workshop @ Freie Klasse. The workshop covered topics such as artist documentation, artist application procedures and the art of selling yourself to festivals.<br />
<br />
===Press Pre-Event===<br />
Following the design of the original website Robert worked on, we developed a historical context in our promotions in order to mirror one of Manifests goals, that of placing works of media art in the minds of a wider audience. Out of the subcultural haunts and into the mainstream mindset.<br />
We staged two events, the first was a photo shoot in the Park. We employed the park as stage andwore period dress and held laptops and mics etc in contrast. This was developed further in the animations for the website.The photos were used as advertising for the project and proved very successful at gaining interest from the wider public.<br />
<br />
===PressPack===<br />
I developed the idea of a mask in the style of a ballroom mask, again connecting with the historical weimar and making 3D glasses with them to be used in a press pack. I developed two proto-types.<br />
<br />
===Application Management===<br />
I took responsibility for dealing with applications that came into the email account. I responded to all applicants and requested more information where necessary. I set up a spreadsheet so as to easily see what we had and what we needed from the artists. We also used the spreadsheet to voice opinions of the work, whether we liked it etc.<br />
<br />
===Communication===<br />
I made contact with SEAM and arranged a meeting with Constantine in order to discuss the partnership with SEAM. Issues to be discussed were sound system and insurance.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Critical Comments==<br />
<br />
As a student led initiative students access to the budget was through the teachers. What was an acceptable expense? Should the treasurer be student or teacher? In terms of experiments in success and failure the potential to learn from these kinds of decisions was coloured by the fact that the treasurer was a teacher.<br />
<br />
Communication was largely text based which was the cause of some misunderstandings. The collaborative relationship was strong in the group. It was my first experience of an event management project of this scale and overall I found it a very rewarding thing to do. I learned a lot that I can apply to my own practice.<br />

==Critical Comments==<br />
<br />
Mani.fest III is an extraordinary international art festival. With nearly no budget but highly enthusiastic staff willing to do what ever it takes- it was a unique experience. Providing a professional public platform fro new media interdisciplinary performance art in weimar with most of the project members being non-professionals required everyone to do their<br />
best.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I would like to propose certain improvements for the up- coming Mani.Fests. First, the search for an appropriate framework of the Mani.fest should be a major priority. I considered the Audimax not to be a suitable venue for a cutting edge performance art festival, due to its technical limitations (non-existing drape) as well as the sobriety of its interior design.<br />
<br />
The search for artists should be extended. Publishing the call for propos- also soley on the web doesn’t create enough attention for Manifest as you could tell by the fact that we haven’t been flooded with applications and even extended the time frame for proposals. Publicity especially towards possible artists could be achieved with extra call out posters ondisplay in university hot spots, local galleries etc.<br />

MANI.FEST 2010<br />
Das Multi-Media-Event MANI.FEST erfährt zur Summaery 2010 seine dritte Ausgabe. Als großformatige Abendveranstaltung präsentiert MANI.FEST aktuelle herausragende Medien- und Performancekunst im Umfeld der Bauhaus Universität Weimar mit internationalen Rang. Organisiert von einem studentischen Team der Fakultäten Architektur, Medien und Gestaltung unter der Leitung des Juniorprofessors für Experimentelle Television Ben Sassen und der freien Kuratorin und Künstlerin Kyd Campbell, wird MANI.FEST Vorzeigeprojekte aus dem Bereich der experimentellen Video- und Klangkunst dem Weimarer Publikum zugänglich machen. Basierend auf den Erfolg unserer Veranstaltung aus den letzten zwei Jahren möchte MANI.FEST 2010 zudem in gleichbleibend hoher Qualität junge Vertreter unkonventioneller und neuer Kunstformen eine Plattform zur Aufführung ihrer Arbeiten bieten und die Stadt Weimar als Produktions- und Spielort medialer Gegenwartskunst etablieren.<br />

Eine der wesentlichen technischen Grundlagen des klassischen Bauhaus war die <br />
durch die industrielle Fertigungstechnik neugeschaffene Möglichkeit der <br />
Massenproduktion. Gleichzeitig zeichnete sich das Bauhaus durch eine konsequente und exzellente Dokumentation der Arbeiten in Druckschriften und Ausstellungen aus. Diese Ideen an die Gegenwart anzupassen, ist das Hauptziel des Projektes.<br />
<br />
Durch die fortschreitende Individualisierung und gleichzeitige Vernetzung in der Entwicklung und Produktion von Medien, Produkten und wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten an der Bauhaus-Universität ist es eine Herausforderung, diese zu dokumentieren, sowie Informationen über ihre Entstehung, Vernetzung und Werdegang zu sammeln, zu speichern und nutzbar zu machen. Da eine zentrale Erfassung dieser Daten unrealistisch ist – für deren sinnvolle Nutzung allerdings eine zentrale Sammlung unabdingbar ist – wird diese dem einzelnen Nutzer überlassen.<br />

[[Image:fzr-DSC_6633-6.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Form-Zeit-Raum]]<br />
Die Installation soll den Prozess der Formgebung, den Landschaften in der Natur durchlaufen, symbolisieren und erlebbar machen.<br />
<br />
Der Formwandel der Landschaft geschieht in einem für ein Menschenleben ungreifbar langen Zeitraum. Wir erfahren immer nur einen kleinen Ausschnitt eines Gesamtprozesses, der sich schon seit langem vollzieht. Die sinnliche Wahrnehmung der sich dabei entwickelnden Form bleibt uns deshalb in der Realität meist versagt. Die Installation soll auf die Form reduziert sein, um die Veränderung besser wahrnehmbar zu machen. Sie besteht aus einer horizontal im Raum liegenden flexiblen Stofffläche, die durch ein Raster von Schnüren, die von der Decke hängen, gehalten wird. Die Schnüre können in ihrer Länge verändert werden, so dass sich die Stofffläche vertikal verformen lässt.<br />
<br />
Als Veranschaulichung für die Formbildung wird eine Simulation erzeugt, die in einem nie endenden Prozess abläuft. Der Prozess orientiert sich dabei an der Dünenbildung in Wüsten und am Meer.<br />

Das eingezeichnete Raster, das man zwischen den Leuten im öffentlichen Raum begreifen kann, ist für mich ein unsichtbares Netz mit sehr viel Potential, weil es nicht nur im Zusammenhang mit dem kulturellen Verhalten steht sondern es auch von biologischen und physischen Aspekten beeinflusst wird.<br />

* Mirror-neuronal experiment > "double i"(WT)<br />
* telescope yourself(WT) > Raum-Installation<br />
Die Aufgabe von Teleskopen ist es, visuelle Informationen zugänglich zu machen, die uns ohne ein solches nicht zugänglich wären. Es handelt sich jedoch keineswegs um ein Instrument, das Information generiert. Das Teleskop ist ein Filter, mit dessen Hilfe man einen Großteil des Lichts ausblendet und auf den gewünschten Anteil reduziert. Nur das Licht, das in einem bestimmten Winkel einfällt, passiert die Prismen und trifft auf das Auge: auf Retina-Größe angepasste Information, die wir ohne Filter gar nicht oder nur als winzigen Teil allen Lichtes wahrnehmen würden. Telescope yourself(AT) thematisiert dies indem der Ausschnitt einen Teil dessen zeigt, was jeder kennt: sich selbst.<br />
Über eine Spiegelkonstruktion wird der kleine Raum, in dem sich Teleskop und Betrachter befinden, instrumentalisiert und Licht so gelenkt, dass der Schauende eine außergewöhnliche Perspektive auf sich selbst erhält und über die Dichte visueller Information im Raum reflektieren kann.<br />

Wie bekannt, strickt man normalweise mit Stricken. Mit dieser weichen Stoffe kann man viele verschiedenen Kunstwerke entwerfen auch realisieren.<br/><br />
In meinem Projekt wähle ich die Papier als das einzelne Material aus, die man wenig benutz, aber einfach schöne Sache ist. Der Kontrast zwischen Papier und Medienprodukte ist mein Ziel darzustellen. Doch durch das Papiernetz kann man ein andere Blickwinkel schauen, wie wunderbar unsere Welt ist.<br />

[[File:Mikroskop 01.jpg|200px|thumb]]<br />
Die Semesterarbeit mit dem Titel ''Mikrografien'' ist nach einer Reihe von Fotos und Videos, die über ein Mikroskop aufgenommen wurden, entstanden. Mein Motiv war durch die Lupe/Linse eines Mikroskops Textur, Materialität bzw. Struktur von verschiedenen Elementen wieder neu zu entdecken.<br />
Jedes alltägliche, gewohnte war für mich ein Grund Aspekte wieder neu zu entdecken. Aspekte, die mit dem Auge nicht sichtbar sind. In der ersten Phase der Arbeit wählte ich beliebiges Material, mit einzigem Kriterium die Struktur bzw. das plastische Potenzial, welches das Material möglicherweise in sich birgt, oder sogar das Schatten- und Lichtspiel, das unter dem Mikroskop sichtbar wurde. <br />
Das sind in der Regel, die Kriterien nach welchen ich die Fotos ausgearbeitet habe und, die das Resultat der Fotoaufnahmen bestimmt haben.<br />

==[[Bastian Buegler]]: [[/SWOPSPOT/]]==<br />
''direct trading in local and social contexts''<br />
<br />
Swopspot ist eine App für Sozialennetze, die Mitgliedern die Möglichkeit verschaft, Gebrauchtes, Waren oder Eigenerzeugnisse anzubieten. Dabei soll mit Swopspot aber keine herkömliche Handelsplatform, vergleichbar zu Ebay oder Amazon, für soziale Netzwerke geschaffen werden. <br />
Hinter Swopspot steht vieleher der Wunsch, erstmalig lokal bewussten, direkten Handel auf eine Sozialenbasis zu ermöglichen. Im Vordergrund der Entwicklungs Überlegungen steht das Ziel, Resourcen nachhaltig, zugänglich und sozial verantwortlich vertreibbar zu machen.<br />
Die Grundlage für diesen Vorsatz bildet eine neuartige Form des Handels, bei der sich Privatpersonen, wiederholt An- und Gegengebote unterbreiten können, bis sie zu einer, für beide Seiten attraktive Vereinbarung, gelangen. Direkter Handeln ist also ein briefartiger, der orientalischen Marktfeilscherei nachempfundener, wechselseitiger Austausch von Angeboten zwischen Anbieter und Interessenten. Ein Angebot kann sowohl Sach und oder Geldleistungen umfassen. Es kann also getauscht und gekauft werden. Im Vordergrund steht also ein wirklich zwischenmenschlicher Service mit einem hohen Grad an Freiheit für die Nutzer, seine Waren nach seinen eigenen Vorstellungen umzusetzen. <br />

The image of a Prism-Bell. <br />
<br />
Using surface resonators to deconstruct church bells into their component notes I excite particular frequencies in a bell and play them individually. This gives the bell a alternate dynamic character. The traditional striking of the bell is replaced with careful and directed excitation opening up many possibilities. This semester I developed the project from the initial idea through to application with the support of the Bell Museum in Aploda. <br />
<br />
Newton experimented with glass prisms revealing to us the varied wavelenghts that make up white light- The colour spectrum.<br />
<br />
This work explores the formal surfaces of sculpture and the emotional immediacy of sound. The bell acts as a prism, at once both a point of focus and dispersion.<br />

Eine der wesentlichen technischen Grundlagen des klassischen Bauhaus war die <br />
durch die industrielle Fertigungstechnik neugeschaffene Möglichkeit der <br />
Massenproduktion. Gleichzeitig zeichnete sich das Bauhaus durch eine konsequente und exzellente Dokumentation der Arbeiten in Druckschriften und Ausstellungen aus. Diese Ideen an die Gegenwart anzupassen, ist das Hauptziel des Projektes.<br />
<br />
Durch die fortschreitende Individualisierung und gleichzeitige Vernetzung in der Entwicklung und Produktion von Medien, Produkten und wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten an der Bauhaus-Universität ist es eine Herausforderung, diese zu dokumentieren, sowie Informationen über ihre Entstehung, Vernetzung und Werdegang zu sammeln, zu speichern und nutzbar zu machen. Da eine zentrale Erfassung dieser Daten unrealistisch ist – für deren sinnvolle Nutzung allerdings eine zentrale Sammlung unabdingbar ist – wird diese dem einzelnen Nutzer überlassen.<br />

Die Installation soll den Prozess der Formgebung, den Landschaften in der Natur durchlaufen, symbolisieren und erlebbar machen.<br />
<br />
Der Formwandel der Landschaft geschieht in einem für ein Menschenleben ungreifbar langen Zeitraum. Wir erfahren immer nur einen kleinen Ausschnitt eines Gesamtprozesses, der sich schon seit langem vollzieht. Die sinnliche Wahrnehmung der sich dabei entwickelnden Form bleibt uns deshalb in der Realität meist versagt. Die Installation soll auf die Form reduziert sein, um die Veränderung besser wahrnehmbar zu machen. Sie besteht aus einer horizontal im Raum liegenden flexiblen Stofffläche, die durch ein Raster von Schnüren, die von der Decke hängen, gehalten wird. Die Schnüre können in ihrer Länge verändert werden, so dass sich die Stofffläche vertikal verformen lässt.<br />
<br />
Als Veranschaulichung für die Formbildung wird eine Simulation erzeugt, die in einem nie endenden Prozess abläuft. Der Prozess orientiert sich dabei an der Dünenbildung in Wüsten und am Meer.<br />

Die Aufgabe von Teleskopen ist es, visuelle Informationen zugänglich zu machen, die uns ohne ein solches nicht zugänglich wären. Es handelt sich jedoch keineswegs um ein Instrument, das Information generiert. Das Teleskop ist ein Filter, mit dessen Hilfe man einen Großteil des Lichts ausblendet und auf den gewünschten Anteil reduziert. Nur das Licht, das in einem bestimmten Winkel einfällt, passiert die Prismen und trifft auf das Auge: auf Retina-Größe angepasste Information, die wir ohne Filter gar nicht oder nur als winzigen Teil allen Lichtes wahrnehmen würden.

Wie bekannt, strickt man normalweise mit Stricken. Mit dieser weichen Stoffe kann man viele verschiedenen Kunstwerke entwerfen auch realisieren.<br/><br />
In meinem Projekt wähle ich die Papier als das einzelne Material aus, die man wenig benutz, aber einfach schöne Sache ist. Der Kontrast zwischen Papier und Medienprodukte ist mein Ziel darzustellen. Doch durch das Papiernetz kann man ein andere Blickwinkel schauen, wie wunderbar unsere Welt ist.<br />

Die Semesterarbeit mit dem Titel ''Mikrografien'' ist nach einer Reihe von Fotos und Videos, die über ein Mikroskop aufgenommen wurden, entstanden. Mein Motiv war durch die Lupe/Linse eines Mikroskops Textur, Materialität bzw. Struktur von verschiedenen Elementen wieder neu zu entdecken.<br />
Jedes alltägliche, gewohnte war für mich ein Grund Aspekte wieder neu zu entdecken. Aspekte, die mit dem Auge nicht sichtbar sind. In der ersten Phase der Arbeit wählte ich beliebiges Material, mit einzigem Kriterium die Struktur bzw. das plastische Potenzial, welches das Material möglicherweise in sich birgt, oder sogar das Schatten- und Lichtspiel, das unter dem Mikroskop sichtbar wurde. <br />
Das sind in der Regel, die Kriterien nach welchen ich die Fotos ausgearbeitet habe und, die das Resultat der Fotoaufnahmen bestimmt haben.<br />

''direct trading in local and social contexts''<br />
<br />
Swopspot ist eine App für Sozialennetze, die Mitgliedern die Möglichkeit verschaft, Gebrauchtes, Waren oder Eigenerzeugnisse anzubieten. Dabei soll mit Swopspot aber keine herkömliche Handelsplatform, vergleichbar zu Ebay oder Amazon, für soziale Netzwerke geschaffen werden. <br />
Hinter Swopspot steht vieleher der Wunsch, erstmalig lokal bewussten, direkten Handel auf eine Sozialenbasis zu ermöglichen. Im Vordergrund der Entwicklungs Überlegungen steht das Ziel, Resourcen nachhaltig, zugänglich und sozial verantwortlich vertreibbar zu machen.<br />
Die Grundlage für diesen Vorsatz bildet eine neuartige Form des Handels, bei der sich Privatpersonen, wiederholt An- und Gegengebote unterbreiten können, bis sie zu einer, für beide Seiten attraktive Vereinbarung, gelangen. Direkter Handeln ist also ein briefartiger, der orientalischen Marktfeilscherei nachempfundener, wechselseitiger Austausch von Angeboten zwischen Anbieter und Interessenten. Ein Angebot kann sowohl Sach und oder Geldleistungen umfassen. Es kann also getauscht und gekauft werden. Im Vordergrund steht also ein wirklich zwischenmenschlicher Service mit einem hohen Grad an Freiheit für die Nutzer, seine Waren nach seinen eigenen Vorstellungen umzusetzen. <br />
Durch das Verbinden der angebotenen Waren mit einer, aus Datenschutzgründen, vaagen Standortsangabe könnte, vorallem in Ballungszentren wie Berlin schnell eine interssantes vielseitiges Angebot zusammen kommen. Durch Austausch von Waren mit Menschen aus der unmittelbaren Umgebung liesen sich im günstigsten Falle Verpackungs- und Transportkosten sparen. Zusätzlich erhöht sich auch durch den direkten Austausch auch die soziale Interkonnektivität. Auch ökologisch lassen sich so zumindest bereits bestehenden resourcen, nachhaltig verfügbar gemacht werden. <br />
Vorallem aber in Hinsicht auf fairen Welthandel, stellt swopspot eine interessante alternative dar zu bestehenden Absatzsystemen dar. So könnten theoretisch Produzent und Endabnehmer in einen direkten kontakt gestellt werden. Fairer, direkter Handel kann aber auch zu einer Emanzipation der Konsumenten und Produzenten von Zwischenhändlern führen. Durch das Wegfallen der Zwischenhändler wäre es möglich fairen Handel, mit einer für Anbieter und Abnehmer interessanten, günstigeren Preisgestaltung zu betreiben. <br />

Wie bekannt, strickt man normalweise mit Stricken. Mit dieser weichen Stoffe kann man viele verschiedenen Kunstwerke entwerfen auch realisieren.<br/><br />
In meinem Projekt wähle ich die Papier als das einzelne Material aus, die man wenig benutz, aber einfach schöne Sache ist. Der Kontrast zwischen Papier und Medienprodukte ist mein Ziel darzustellen. Doch durch das Papiernetz kann man ein andere Blickwinkel schauen, wie wunderbar unsere Welt ist.<br />

[[File:Mikroskop 01.jpg|200px|thumb]]<br />
Die Semesterarbeit mit dem Titel ''Mikrografien'' ist nach einer Reihe von Fotos und Videos, die über ein Mikroskop aufgenommen wurden, entstanden. Mein Motiv war durch die Lupe/Linse eines Mikroskops Textur, Materialität bzw. Struktur von verschiedenen Elementen wieder neu zu entdecken.<br />
Jedes alltägliche, gewohnte war für mich ein Grund Aspekte wieder neu zu entdecken. Aspekte, die mit dem Auge nicht sichtbar sind. In der ersten Phase der Arbeit wählte ich beliebiges Material, mit einzigem Kriterium die Struktur bzw. das plastische Potenzial, welches das Material möglicherweise in sich birgt, oder sogar das Schatten- und Lichtspiel, das unter dem Mikroskop sichtbar wurde. <br />
Das sind in der Regel, die Kriterien nach welchen ich die Fotos ausgearbeitet habe und, die das Resultat der Fotoaufnahmen bestimmt haben.<br />

==[[Bastian Buegler]]: [[/SWOPSPOT/]]==<br />
''direct trading in local and social contexts''<br />
<br />
Swopspot ist eine App für Sozialennetze, die Mitgliedern die Möglichkeit verschaft, Gebrauchtes, Waren oder Eigenerzeugnisse anzubieten. Dabei soll mit Swopspot aber keine herkömliche Handelsplatform, vergleichbar zu Ebay oder Amazon, für soziale Netzwerke geschaffen werden. <br />
Hinter Swopspot steht vieleher der Wunsch, erstmalig lokal bewussten, direkten Handel auf eine Sozialenbasis zu ermöglichen. Im Vordergrund der Entwicklungs Überlegungen steht das Ziel, Resourcen nachhaltig, zugänglich und sozial verantwortlich vertreibbar zu machen.<br />
Die Grundlage für diesen Vorsatz bildet eine neuartige Form des Handels, bei der sich Privatpersonen, wiederholt An- und Gegengebote unterbreiten können, bis sie zu einer, für beide Seiten attraktive Vereinbarung, gelangen. Direkter Handeln ist also ein briefartiger, der orientalischen Marktfeilscherei nachempfundener, wechselseitiger Austausch von Angeboten zwischen Anbieter und Interessenten. Ein Angebot kann sowohl Sach und oder Geldleistungen umfassen. Es kann also getauscht und gekauft werden. Im Vordergrund steht also ein wirklich zwischenmenschlicher Service mit einem hohen Grad an Freiheit für die Nutzer, seine Waren nach seinen eigenen Vorstellungen umzusetzen. <br />
Durch das Verbinden der angebotenen Waren mit einer, aus Datenschutzgründen, vaagen Standortsangabe könnte, vorallem in Ballungszentren wie Berlin schnell eine interssantes vielseitiges Angebot zusammen kommen. Durch Austausch von Waren mit Menschen aus der unmittelbaren Umgebung liesen sich im günstigsten Falle Verpackungs- und Transportkosten sparen. Zusätzlich erhöht sich auch durch den direkten Austausch auch die soziale Interkonnektivität. Auch ökologisch lassen sich so zumindest bereits bestehenden resourcen, nachhaltig verfügbar gemacht werden. <br />
Vorallem aber in Hinsicht auf fairen Welthandel, stellt swopspot eine interessante alternative dar zu bestehenden Absatzsystemen dar. So könnten theoretisch Produzent und Endabnehmer in einen direkten kontakt gestellt werden. Fairer, direkter Handel kann aber auch zu einer Emanzipation der Konsumenten und Produzenten von Zwischenhändlern führen. Durch das Wegfallen der Zwischenhändler wäre es möglich fairen Handel, mit einer für Anbieter und Abnehmer interessanten, günstigeren Preisgestaltung zu betreiben. <br />
Ob Landwirtschaftliche Produkte aus der eigenen Region oder exotische Waren, wie Cafe aus Columbien, die Swopspot Utopie soll es jedem möglich machen seine Waren nach seinen Wünschen und Vorstellungen an Mitmenschen abzugeben.<br />

[[File:DSC014051.jpg|200px|thumb]]<br />
Using surface resonators to deconstruct church bells into their component notes I pinpoint particular frequencies in a bell and play them individually. This gives the bell a alternate dynamic character. The traditional striking of the bell is replaced with careful and directed play opening up many possibilities. This semester I developed the project from the initial idea through to application with the support of the Bell Museum in Aploda.<br />

==Course description==<br />
[[Image:Manifest_sm_web.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]<br />
<br />
Led by Prof. Ben Sassen & Kyd Campbell<br />
<br />
'''class will be held in English'''<br /><br />
<br />
In this Werkmodul students will learn about planning and promoting multi-media events. Working together as part of a team, they will plan the 2010 edition of the Mani.Fest. The Mani.Fest is an annual event offering artists from Weimar who work with media and performing arts a platform to present their work. The event takes place over one evening during the Bauhaus' Summary, and in previous years has featured dance, theatre and live electronic music performances. Building on the success of last year’s Mani.Fest media performance showcase, this year we will aim to continue developing the Mani.Fest brand whilst once again creating a top quality audio/visual live event with an exciting program of Weimar acts. (See [http://www.bauhaus-manifest.com MANI.FEST] for more details of last year’s event)<br />
<br />
Students joining this Werkmodul will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in:<br />
<br />
- Creating and managing promotional campaigns<br />
- Working as part of an event production team<br />
- Managing an event budget<br />
- Installing equipment and technically producing live multi-media events<br />
- Using video to document live events<br />
- Booking and liaising with artists<br />
- Organising and working with venues<br />
- Managing relationships with sponsors<br />
<br />
To make Mani.Fest 2010 happen we are looking for a range of students who are able to work in different roles, including: graphic design, PR and press work, artist liaison, managing sponsors, VJing, web design and team leading. If one of these sounds like the job you would like to do then come join us!<br />
<br />
'''Deutsche Kurzbeschreibung'''<br /><br />

==Eligible participants==<br />
Enrolled BFA, MFA and diploma students of the faculties of media, Gestaltung and participants of the media-architecture program.<br />
<br />
==Syllabus==<br />
* '''13.04.10''' first meeting, kick off lecture<br />
** REPORT: At this first class we introduced the concept of MANI.FEST and the current Weimar context for AV performance presentation. We looked at a number of artist examples, talked about some different festivals, including the Tiny Noise, and previous MANI.FEST events. We discussed the possibility of creating a context for artists to improvise together during the frame of the festivals, different venues, good time lengths for an AV event, and audience comfort vs. endurance.(k.c.)<br />
* '''16.04.10''' 18h15 - public presentation on noise and sound art and passed MANI.FESTS<br />
* '''20.04.10''' imagining our process<br />
** REPORT: After a second overall introduction to the idea of MANI.FEST and the background of our team members, we agreed on using the media faculty's WIKI for our documentation and on the subscription in selected media art related mailing lists. We presented some of our favourite performances/performers like Candice Breitz, Gabriel Shalom, a Radiohead’s music video [http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/creative/radiohead/ "House of Cards"], a performance by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2G3KfKbJwE Einstürtzende Neubauten] called [http://www.wega-film.at/?film_id=22-das-auge-des-taifun “Das Auge des Taifun”] and some video and audio from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1woMEExMZXg&feature=related Suicide] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-J8Rxfk6M8 Pan Sonic]. After this we described and looked towards all the steps of the project realization, listed resources and upcoming deadlines. According to this we discussed about our project’s funding/fund raising. In the middle of these considerations stood a precise discussion and attempt to define terms related to the art genre we will present within the context of MANI.FEST. [view](s.g.)<br />
* '''27.04.10''' Funding and Press Release<br />
**REPORT. During this weeks session we looked at media art (pre1979) and discussed our opinions on various works presented. We examined the creative fund guidelines and detailed points of focus for funding applications in general. We read our press release texts. For next week (an exercise in curatorial selection) we shall find a contemporary media performance work with detailed technical specifications. We will also explore Weimar for possible venues and work further on our press release.<br />

* '''04.05.10'''<br />
**REPORT: By searching for artists taking part in current festivals we found three interesting ones and studied their Tech-Riders. It's important to know exactly what we need and when we need it. We started to make a plan about every fact that's necessary to arrange a well working festival in time. Before every step the festivals identity must be clear to get in contact with artists, sponsors, press and audience. By open call we'll try to find artists. A central e-mail address is needed for Mani.fests authenticity.<br />

MANI.FEST 2010<br />
Das Multi-Media-Event MANI.FEST erfährt zur Summaery 2010 seine dritte Ausgabe. Als großformatige Abendveranstaltung präsentiert MANI.FEST aktuelle herausragende Medien- und Performancekunst im Umfeld der Bauhaus Universität Weimar mit internationalen Rang. Organisiert von einem studentischen Team der Fakultäten Architektur, Medien und Gestaltung unter der Leitung des Juniorprofessors für Experimentelle Television Ben Sassen und der freien Kuratorin und Künstlerin Kyd Campbell, wird MANI.FEST Vorzeigeprojekte aus dem Bereich der experimentellen Video- und Klangkunst dem Weimarer Publikum zugänglich machen. Basierend auf den Erfolg unserer Veranstaltung aus den letzten zwei Jahren möchte MANI.FEST 2010 zudem in gleichbleibend hoher Qualität junge Vertreter unkonventioneller und neuer Kunstformen eine Plattform zur Aufführung ihrer Arbeiten bieten und die Stadt Weimar als Produktions- und Spielort medialer Gegenwartskunst etablieren.<br />

'''class will be held in English'''<br /><br />
<br />
In this Werkmodul students will learn about planning and promoting multi-media events. Working together as part of a team, they will plan the 2010 edition of the Mani.Fest. The Mani.Fest is an annual event offering artists from Weimar who work with media and performing arts a platform to present their work. The event takes place over one evening during the Bauhaus' Summary, and in previous years has featured dance, theatre and live electronic music performances. Building on the success of last year’s Mani.Fest media performance showcase, this year we will aim to continue developing the Mani.Fest brand whilst once again creating a top quality audio/visual live event with an exciting program of Weimar acts. (See [http://www.bauhaus-manifest.com MANI.FEST] for more details of last year’s event)<br />
<br />
Students joining this Werkmodul will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in:<br />
<br />
- Creating and managing promotional campaigns<br />
- Working as part of an event production team<br />
- Managing an event budget<br />
- Installing equipment and technically producing live multi-media events<br />
- Using video to document live events<br />
- Booking and liaising with artists<br />
- Organising and working with venues<br />
- Managing relationships with sponsors<br />
<br />
To make Mani.Fest 2010 happen we are looking for a range of students who are able to work in different roles, including: graphic design, PR and press work, artist liaison, managing sponsors, VJing, web design and team leading. If one of these sounds like the job you would like to do then come join us!<br />
<br />

==Eligible participants==<br />
Enrolled BFA, MFA and diploma students of the faculties of media, Gestaltung and participants of the media-architecture program.<br />
<br />
==Syllabus==<br />
* '''13.04.10''' first meeting, kick off lecture<br />
** REPORT: At this first class we introduced the concept of MANI.FEST and the current Weimar context for AV performance presentation. We looked at a number of artist examples, talked about some different festivals, including the Tiny Noise, and previous MANI.FEST events. We discussed the possibility of creating a context for artists to improvise together during the frame of the festivals, different venues, good time lengths for an AV event, and audience comfort vs. endurance.(k.c.)<br />
* '''16.04.10''' 18h15 - public presentation on noise and sound art and passed MANI.FESTS<br />
* '''20.04.10''' imagining our process<br />
** REPORT: After a second overall introduction to the idea of MANI.FEST and the background of our team members, we agreed on using the media faculty's WIKI for our documentation and on the subscription in selected media art related mailing lists. We presented some of our favourite performances/performers like Candice Breitz, Gabriel Shalom, a Radiohead’s music video [http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/creative/radiohead/ "House of Cards"], a performance by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2G3KfKbJwE Einstürtzende Neubauten] called [http://www.wega-film.at/?film_id=22-das-auge-des-taifun “Das Auge des Taifun”] and some video and audio from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1woMEExMZXg&feature=related Suicide] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-J8Rxfk6M8 Pan Sonic]. After this we described and looked towards all the steps of the project realization, listed resources and upcoming deadlines. According to this we discussed about our project’s funding/fund raising. In the middle of these considerations stood a precise discussion and attempt to define terms related to the art genre we will present within the context of MANI.FEST. [view](s.g.)<br />
* '''27.04.10''' Funding and Press Release<br />
**REPORT. During this weeks session we looked at media art (pre1979) and discussed our opinions on various works presented. We examined the creative fund guidelines and detailed points of focus for funding applications in general. We read our press release texts. For next week (an exercise in curatorial selection) we shall find a contemporary media performance work with detailed technical specifications. We will also explore Weimar for possible venues and work further on our press release.<br />

* '''04.05.10'''<br />
**REPORT: By searching for artists taking part in current festivals we found three interesting ones and studied their Tech-Riders. It's important to know exactly what we need and when we need it. We started to make a plan about every fact that's necessary to arrange a well working festival in time. Before every step the festivals identity must be clear to get in contact with artists, sponsors, press and audience. By open call we'll try to find artists. A central e-mail address is needed for Mani.fests authenticity.<br />

MANI.FEST 2010<br />
Das Multi-Media-Event MANI.FEST erfährt zur Summaery 2010 seine dritte Ausgabe. Als großformatige Abendveranstaltung präsentiert MANI.FEST aktuelle herausragende Medien- und Performancekunst im Umfeld der Bauhaus Universität Weimar mit internationalen Rang. Organisiert von einem studentischen Team der Fakultäten Architektur, Medien und Gestaltung unter der Leitung des Juniorprofessors für Experimentelle Television Ben Sassen und der freien Kuratorin und Künstlerin Kyd Campbell, wird MANI.FEST Vorzeigeprojekte aus dem Bereich der experimentellen Video- und Klangkunst dem Weimarer Publikum zugänglich machen. Basierend auf den Erfolg unserer Veranstaltung aus den letzten zwei Jahren möchte MANI.FEST 2010 zudem in gleichbleibend hoher Qualität junge Vertreter unkonventioneller und neuer Kunstformen eine Plattform zur Aufführung ihrer Arbeiten bieten und die Stadt Weimar als Produktions- und Spielort medialer Gegenwartskunst etablieren.<br />

Led by Prof. Ben Sassen & Kyd Campbell<br />
<br />
'''class will be held in English'''<br /><br />
<br />
In this Werkmodul students will learn about planning and promoting multi-media events. Working together as part of a team, they will plan the 2010 edition of the Mani.Fest. The Mani.Fest is an annual event offering artists from Weimar who work with media and performing arts a platform to present their work. The event takes place over one evening during the Bauhaus' Summary, and in previous years has featured dance, theatre and live electronic music performances. Building on the success of last year’s Mani.Fest media performance showcase, this year we will aim to continue developing the Mani.Fest brand whilst once again creating a top quality audio/visual live event with an exciting program of Weimar acts. (See [http://www.bauhaus-manifest.com MANI.FEST] for more details of last year’s event)<br />
<br />
Students joining this Werkmodul will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in:<br />
<br />
- Creating and managing promotional campaigns<br />
- Working as part of an event production team<br />
- Managing an event budget<br />
- Installing equipment and technically producing live multi-media events<br />
- Using video to document live events<br />
- Booking and liaising with artists<br />
- Organising and working with venues<br />
- Managing relationships with sponsors<br />
<br />
To make Mani.Fest 2010 happen we are looking for a range of students who are able to work in different roles, including: graphic design, PR and press work, artist liaison, managing sponsors, VJing, web design and team leading. If one of these sounds like the job you would like to do then come join us!<br />
<br />

==Eligible participants==<br />
Enrolled BFA, MFA and diploma students of the faculties of media, Gestaltung and participants of the media-architecture program.<br />
<br />
==Syllabus==<br />
* '''13.04.10''' first meeting, kick off lecture<br />
** REPORT: At this first class we introduced the concept of MANI.FEST and the current Weimar context for AV performance presentation. We looked at a number of artist examples, talked about some different festivals, including the Tiny Noise, and previous MANI.FEST events. We discussed the possibility of creating a context for artists to improvise together during the frame of the festivals, different venues, good time lengths for an AV event, and audience comfort vs. endurance.(k.c.)<br />
* '''16.04.10''' 18h15 - public presentation on noise and sound art and passed MANI.FESTS<br />
* '''20.04.10''' imagining our process<br />
** REPORT: After a second overall introduction to the idea of MANI.FEST and the background of our team members, we agreed on using the media faculty's WIKI for our documentation and on the subscription in selected media art related mailing lists. We presented some of our favourite performances/performers like Candice Breitz, Gabriel Shalom, a Radiohead’s music video [http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/creative/radiohead/ "House of Cards"], a performance by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2G3KfKbJwE Einstürtzende Neubauten] called [http://www.wega-film.at/?film_id=22-das-auge-des-taifun “Das Auge des Taifun”] and some video and audio from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1woMEExMZXg&feature=related Suicide] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-J8Rxfk6M8 Pan Sonic]. After this we described and looked towards all the steps of the project realization, listed resources and upcoming deadlines. According to this we discussed about our project’s funding/fund raising. In the middle of these considerations stood a precise discussion and attempt to define terms related to the art genre we will present within the context of MANI.FEST. [view](s.g.)<br />
* '''27.04.10''' Funding and Press Release<br />
**REPORT. During this weeks session we looked at media art (pre1979) and discussed our opinions on various works presented. We examined the creative fund guidelines and detailed points of focus for funding applications in general. We read our press release texts. For next week (an exercise in curatorial selection) we shall find a contemporary media performance work with detailed technical specifications. We will also explore Weimar for possible venues and work further on our press release.<br />

* '''04.05.10'''<br />
**REPORT: By searching for artists taking part in current festivals we found three interesting ones and studied their Tech-Riders. It's important to know exactly what we need and when we need it. We started to make a plan about every fact that's necessary to arrange a well working festival in time. Before every step the festivals identity must be clear to get in contact with artists, sponsors, press and audience. By open call we'll try to find artists. A central e-mail address is needed for Mani.fests authenticity.<br />

Das Multi-Media-Event MANI.FEST erfährt zur Summaery 2010 seine dritte Ausgabe. Als großformatige Abendveranstaltung präsentiert MANI.FEST aktuelle herausragende Medien- und Performancekunst im Umfeld der Bauhaus Universität Weimar mit internationalen Rang. Organisiert von einem studentischen Team der Fakultäten Architektur, Medien und Gestaltung unter der Leitung des Juniorprofessors für Experimentelle Television Ben Sassen und der freien Kuratorin und Künstlerin Kyd Campbell, wird MANI.FEST Vorzeigeprojekte aus dem Bereich der experimentellen Video- und Klangkunst dem Weimarer Publikum zugänglich machen. Basierend auf den Erfolg unserer Veranstaltung aus den letzten zwei Jahren möchte MANI.FEST 2010 zudem in gleichbleibend hoher Qualität junge Vertreter unkonventioneller und neuer Kunstformen eine Plattform zur Aufführung ihrer Arbeiten bieten und die Stadt Weimar als Produktions- und Spielort medialer Gegenwartskunst etablieren.<br />

Led by Prof. Ben Sassen & Kyd Campbell<br />
<br />
'''class will be held in English'''<br /><br />
<br />
In this Werkmodul students will learn about planning and promoting multi-media events. Working together as part of a team, they will plan the 2010 edition of the Mani.Fest. The Mani.Fest is an annual event offering artists from Weimar who work with media and performing arts a platform to present their work. The event takes place over one evening during the Bauhaus' Summary, and in previous years has featured dance, theatre and live electronic music performances. Building on the success of last year’s Mani.Fest media performance showcase, this year we will aim to continue developing the Mani.Fest brand whilst once again creating a top quality audio/visual live event with an exciting program of Weimar acts. (See [http://www.bauhaus-manifest.com MANI.FEST] for more details of last year’s event)<br />
<br />
Students joining this Werkmodul will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in:<br />
<br />
- Creating and managing promotional campaigns<br />
- Working as part of an event production team<br />
- Managing an event budget<br />
- Installing equipment and technically producing live multi-media events<br />
- Using video to document live events<br />
- Booking and liaising with artists<br />
- Organising and working with venues<br />
- Managing relationships with sponsors<br />
<br />
To make Mani.Fest 2010 happen we are looking for a range of students who are able to work in different roles, including: graphic design, PR and press work, artist liaison, managing sponsors, VJing, web design and team leading. If one of these sounds like the job you would like to do then come join us!<br />
<br />

==Eligible participants==<br />
Enrolled BFA, MFA and diploma students of the faculties of media, Gestaltung and participants of the media-architecture program.<br />
<br />
==Syllabus==<br />
* '''13.04.10''' first meeting, kick off lecture<br />
** REPORT: At this first class we introduced the concept of MANI.FEST and the current Weimar context for AV performance presentation. We looked at a number of artist examples, talked about some different festivals, including the Tiny Noise, and previous MANI.FEST events. We discussed the possibility of creating a context for artists to improvise together during the frame of the festivals, different venues, good time lengths for an AV event, and audience comfort vs. endurance.(k.c.)<br />
* '''16.04.10''' 18h15 - public presentation on noise and sound art and passed MANI.FESTS<br />
* '''20.04.10''' imagining our process<br />
** REPORT: After a second overall introduction to the idea of MANI.FEST and the background of our team members, we agreed on using the media faculty's WIKI for our documentation and on the subscription in selected media art related mailing lists. We presented some of our favourite performances/performers like Candice Breitz, Gabriel Shalom, a Radiohead’s music video [http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/creative/radiohead/ "House of Cards"], a performance by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2G3KfKbJwE Einstürtzende Neubauten] called [http://www.wega-film.at/?film_id=22-das-auge-des-taifun “Das Auge des Taifun”] and some video and audio from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1woMEExMZXg&feature=related Suicide] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-J8Rxfk6M8 Pan Sonic]. After this we described and looked towards all the steps of the project realization, listed resources and upcoming deadlines. According to this we discussed about our project’s funding/fund raising. In the middle of these considerations stood a precise discussion and attempt to define terms related to the art genre we will present within the context of MANI.FEST. [view](s.g.)<br />
* '''27.04.10''' Funding and Press Release<br />
**REPORT. During this weeks session we looked at media art (pre1979) and discussed our opinions on various works presented. We examined the creative fund guidelines and detailed points of focus for funding applications in general. We read our press release texts. For next week (an exercise in curatorial selection) we shall find a contemporary media performance work with detailed technical specifications. We will also explore Weimar for possible venues and work further on our press release.<br />

* '''04.05.10'''<br />
**REPORT: By searching for artists taking part in current festivals we found three interesting ones and studied their Tech-Riders. It's important to know exactly what we need and when we need it. We started to make a plan about every fact that's necessary to arrange a well working festival in time. Before every step the festivals identity must be clear to get in contact with artists, sponsors, press and audience. By open call we'll try to find artists. A central e-mail address is needed for Mani.fests authenticity.<br />

MANI.FEST 2010<br />
Das Multi-Media-Event MANI.FEST erfährt zur Summaery 2010 seine dritte Ausgabe. Als großformatige Abendveranstaltung präsentiert MANI.FEST aktuelle herausragende Medien- und Performancekunst im Umfeld der Bauhaus Universität Weimar mit internationalen Rang. Organisiert von einem studentischen Team der Fakultäten Architektur, Medien und Gestaltung unter der Leitung des Juniorprofessors für Experimentelle Television Ben Sassen und der freien Kuratorin und Künstlerin Kyd Campbell, wird MANI.FEST Vorzeigeprojekte aus dem Bereich der experimentellen Video- und Klangkunst dem Weimarer Publikum zugänglich machen. Basierend auf den Erfolg unserer Veranstaltung aus den letzten zwei Jahren möchte MANI.FEST 2010 zudem in gleichbleibend hoher Qualität junge Vertreter unkonventioneller und neuer Kunstformen eine Plattform zur Aufführung ihrer Arbeiten bieten und die Stadt Weimar als Produktions- und Spielort medialer Gegenwartskunst etablieren.<br />

Led by Prof. Ben Sassen & Kyd Campbell<br />
<br />
'''class will be held in English'''<br /><br />
<br />
In this Werkmodul students will learn about planning and promoting multi-media events. Working together as part of a team, they will plan the 2010 edition of the Mani.Fest. The Mani.Fest is an annual event offering artists from Weimar who work with media and performing arts a platform to present their work. The event takes place over one evening during the Bauhaus' Summary, and in previous years has featured dance, theatre and live electronic music performances. Building on the success of last year’s Mani.Fest media performance showcase, this year we will aim to continue developing the Mani.Fest brand whilst once again creating a top quality audio/visual live event with an exciting program of Weimar acts. (See [http://www.bauhaus-manifest.com MANI.FEST] for more details of last year’s event)<br />
<br />
Students joining this Werkmodul will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in:<br />
<br />
- Creating and managing promotional campaigns<br />
- Working as part of an event production team<br />
- Managing an event budget<br />
- Installing equipment and technically producing live multi-media events<br />
- Using video to document live events<br />
- Booking and liaising with artists<br />
- Organising and working with venues<br />
- Managing relationships with sponsors<br />
<br />
To make Mani.Fest 2010 happen we are looking for a range of students who are able to work in different roles, including: graphic design, PR and press work, artist liaison, managing sponsors, VJing, web design and team leading. If one of these sounds like the job you would like to do then come join us!<br />
<br />

<br />
==Eligible participants==<br />
Enrolled BFA, MFA and diploma students of the faculties of media, Gestaltung and participants of the media-architecture program.<br />
<br />
==Syllabus==<br />
* '''13.04.10''' first meeting, kick off lecture<br />
** REPORT: At this first class we introduced the concept of MANI.FEST and the current Weimar context for AV performance presentation. We looked at a number of artist examples, talked about some different festivals, including the Tiny Noise, and previous MANI.FEST events. We discussed the possibility of creating a context for artists to improvise together during the frame of the festivals, different venues, good time lengths for an AV event, and audience comfort vs. endurance.(k.c.)<br />
* '''16.04.10''' 18h15 - public presentation on noise and sound art and passed MANI.FESTS<br />
* '''20.04.10''' imagining our process<br />
** REPORT: After a second overall introduction to the idea of MANI.FEST and the background of our team members, we agreed on using the media faculty's WIKI for our documentation and on the subscription in selected media art related mailing lists. We presented some of our favourite performances/performers like Candice Breitz, Gabriel Shalom, a Radiohead’s music video [http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/creative/radiohead/ "House of Cards"], a performance by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2G3KfKbJwE Einstürtzende Neubauten] called [http://www.wega-film.at/?film_id=22-das-auge-des-taifun “Das Auge des Taifun”] and some video and audio from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1woMEExMZXg&feature=related Suicide] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-J8Rxfk6M8 Pan Sonic]. After this we described and looked towards all the steps of the project realization, listed resources and upcoming deadlines. According to this we discussed about our project’s funding/fund raising. In the middle of these considerations stood a precise discussion and attempt to define terms related to the art genre we will present within the context of MANI.FEST. [view](s.g.)<br />
* '''27.04.10''' Funding and Press Release<br />
**REPORT. During this weeks session we looked at media art (pre1979) and discussed our opinions on various works presented. We examined the creative fund guidelines and detailed points of focus for funding applications in general. We read our press release texts. For next week (an exercise in curatorial selection) we shall find a contemporary media performance work with detailed technical specifications. We will also explore Weimar for possible venues and work further on our press release.<br />

* '''04.05.10'''<br />
**REPORT: By searching for artists taking part in current festivals we found three interesting ones and studied their Tech-Riders. It's important to know exactly what we need and when we need it. We started to make a plan about every fact that's necessary to arrange a well working festival in time. Before every step the festivals identity must be clear to get in contact with artists, sponsors, press and audience. By open call we'll try to find artists. A central e-mail address is needed for Mani.fests authenticity.<br />

MANI.FEST 2010<br />
Das Multi-Media-Event MANI.FEST erfährt zur Summaery 2010 seine dritte Ausgabe. Als großformatige Abendveranstaltung präsentiert MANI.FEST aktuelle herausragende Medien- und Performancekunst im Umfeld der Bauhaus Universität Weimar mit internationalen Rang. Organisiert von einem studentischen Team der Fakultäten Architektur, Medien und Gestaltung unter der Leitung des Juniorprofessors für Experimentelle Television Ben Sassen und der freien Kuratorin und Künstlerin Kyd Campbell, wird MANI.FEST Vorzeigeprojekte aus dem Bereich der experimentellen Video- und Klangkunst dem Weimarer Publikum zugänglich machen. Basierend auf den Erfolg unserer Veranstaltung aus den letzten zwei Jahren möchte MANI.FEST 2010 zudem in gleichbleibend hoher Qualität junge Vertreter unkonventioneller und neuer Kunstformen eine Plattform zur Aufführung ihrer Arbeiten bieten und die Stadt Weimar als Produktions- und Spielort medialer Gegenwartskunst etablieren.<br />

[[Image:Manifest_sm_web.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]<br />
<br />
Led by Juniorprofessor Ben Sassen & Kyd Campbell<br />
<br />
'''class will be held in English'''<br /><br />
<br />
In this Werkmodul students will learn about planning and promoting multi-media events. Working together as part of a team, they will plan the 2010 edition of the Mani.Fest. The Mani.Fest is an annual event offering artists from Weimar who work with media and performing arts a platform to present their work. The event takes place over one evening during the Bauhaus' Summary, and in previous years has featured dance, theatre and live electronic music performances. Building on the success of last year’s Mani.Fest media performance showcase, this year we will aim to continue developing the Mani.Fest brand whilst once again creating a top quality audio/visual live event with an exciting program of Weimar acts. (See [http://www.bauhaus-manifest.com MANI.FEST] for more details of last year’s event)<br />
<br />
Students joining this Werkmodul will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in:<br />
<br />
- Creating and managing promotional campaigns<br />
- Working as part of an event production team<br />
- Managing an event budget<br />
- Installing equipment and technically producing live multi-media events<br />
- Using video to document live events<br />
- Booking and liaising with artists<br />
- Organising and working with venues<br />
- Managing relationships with sponsors<br />
<br />
To make Mani.Fest 2010 happen we are looking for a range of students who are able to work in different roles, including: graphic design, PR and press work, artist liaison, managing sponsors, VJing, web design and team leading. If one of these sounds like the job you would like to do then come join us!<br />
<br />

<br />
==Syllabus==<br />
* 13.04.10 first meeting, kick off lecture<br />
** REPORT: At this first class we introduced the concept of MANI.FEST and the current Weimar context for AV performance presentation. We looked at a number of artist examples, talked about some different festivals, including the Tiny Noise, and previous MANI.FEST events. We discussed the possibility of creating a context for artists to improvise together during the frame of the festivals, different venues, good time lengths for an AV event, and audience comfort vs. endurance.(k.c.)<br />
* 16.04.10 18h15 - public presentation on noise and sound art and passed MANI.FESTS<br />
* 20.04.10 imagining our process<br />
** REPORT: After a second overall introduction to the idea of MANI.FEST and the background of our team members, we agreed on using the media faculty's WIKI for our documentation and on the subscription in selected media art related mailing lists. We presented some of our favourite performances/performers like Candice Breitz, Gabriel Shalom, a Radiohead’s music video [http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/creative/radiohead/ "House of Cards"], a performance by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2G3KfKbJwE Einstürtzende Neubauten] called [http://www.wega-film.at/?film_id=22-das-auge-des-taifun “Das Auge des Taifun”] and some video and audio from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1woMEExMZXg&feature=related Suicide] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-J8Rxfk6M8 Pan Sonic]. After this we described and looked towards all the steps of the project realization, listed resources and upcoming deadlines. According to this we discussed about our project’s funding/fund raising. In the middle of these considerations stood a precise discussion and attept to define terms related to the art genre we will present within the context of MANI.FEST. [view](s.g.)<br />
* 27.04.10 Funding and Press Release<br />
**REPORT. During this weeks session we looked at media art (pre1979) and discussed our opinions on various works presented. We examined the creative fund guidelines and detailed points of focus for funding applications in general. We read our press release texts. For next week (an exercise in curatorial selection) we shall find a contemporary media performance work with detailed technical specifications. We will also explore Weimar for possible venues and work further on our press release.<br />
