Hello Johannes and all members of the list,
Just wanted to add to the flow of information regarding events and
conferences that members of our list are scheduled to attend. MTAC
2001 is meeting at the University of California Irvine, November
7-10. 2001. the following is a description of the conference stated
goals:
Lisa Naugle has been very active in the design and construction of
this very important gathering.
MTAC 2001 - Bringing Together the Disciplines
The MTAC series of conferences were conceived in 1995 - born in the
minds of people at the Orange County IEEE Computer Society, the
University of California at Irvine, and Electronic Design Associates.
This year they are stepping up the ante - to produce an especially
attractive conference that will now meet regularly in the Fall,
starting with next year. MTAC 2001 will, more than ever before,
focus on cross-fertilization between different disciplines.
Digital Multimedia is a brand-new means of human communication - with
many attractive features. Not only can it emulate traditional media
such as printed-text, but it also embraces new areas such as virtual
reality, remote medical diagnosis, and video games. Since it impinges
on both human society and computer technology, it is clear that an
interdisciplinary approach is essential to progress towards really
attractive and useful multimedia systems.
The conference topics cover areas such as dance and solid state
technology, with the common thread of promoting cross-fertilization
between artists, scientists, business people, engineers, and
educators. There will be lively panel discussions covering the latest
ideas, together with papers and speakers of special interest to the
multimedia community and the art community at large.
I will be presenting the wearable computer the cyberPRINT project and
serve on a panel that is schedule to deal with issues related to the
fusion between technology and the arts.
Best to all. Yacov

>I enjoyed reading the recent introductions, and wanted to welcome new
>members that had not written before, such as Daniela Miotto writing from
>Japan, a region with which we would love to have more contact and
>cultural exchange of ideas, for sure, also regarding the IDAT plans....

>
>I gather that we will have an overlap:

>"body/machine"
>a conference on the body/technology interface
>Friday, October 26 - Sunday, October 28 in Toronto

>CORD Conference:
>"Transmigratory Moves: Dance in Global Circulation"
>New York Univ., New York City
>October 26-28, 2001
>http://www.cordance.org
>[The theme of CORD 2001 will be the ways in which dance forms circulate
>across communities, regions and nations, acquiring new meanings as they
>travel. While the term “globalization” has gained currency in scholarly
>debates of recent years, the dispersion of performance practices is
>hardly a new phenomenon. Thus, the conference invites both historical
>and contemporary analyses of dances’ migrations.]
>
>I thought I'd mention it, since it will also be the first time that some
>of us return to New York after the recent events, and no one had
>mentioned the CORD (Congress on Research in Dance) event yet.

>My colleagues from the ADaPT collective (John Mitchell, Lisa Naugle,
>Ellen Bromberg, Doug Rosenberg) and I will team up with choreographer
>Ralph Lemon to conduct a symposium on dance/telepresence (""Connected
>Dance: Distributed Performance across Time Zones""), Sunday morning,
>Oct. 28, 10:30 am,
>and of course we'd like to invite you all to join the discussion & meet
>us. We will be showing film of our initial telepresence/online
>performance contacts from earlier this year.
>
>There is also a dance research congress coming up in Berlin (Germany)
>November 11.08 11.11.2001, <Wissen schaffen über Tanz>.
>
>At the same time, the Tanzhaus NRW, Düsseldorf, Germany
>[http://www.tanzhaus-nrw.de]
>is sponsoring a series of symposia on "Tanz - Medien - Technologie" , in
>conjunction with a performance series on dance and technology [Ventura
>Dance Company "MADGOD 2.001", Fabienne Berger " Natal", Rui Horta
>"Pixel", André Gingras "CYP17" plus Videoinstallationen von Andrea
>Davidson, "La Morsure" und von Christian Ziegler "Scanned." Plus
>Lecture Demonstrations von "Life Forms" durch Pablo Ventura und zu
>"Improvisaton Technologies" von Christian Ziegler]. I will be at both
>events and can report.
>
>Please let us know about conferences/symposia in your region, and
>whether you can report.

>Kent de Spain, in a posting to the IDAT-formation list, mentioned that
>Toronto (and New York, I suppose) might be occasions to introduce our
>plans for the new organization, IDAT, except that we haven't founded it
>yet, and are still waiting to clarify the procedure of how to form a
>Board that could go on to found a non profit structure. In any case, I
>think we all could connect at these meetings, and talk to each other,
>look for each other, see how the network is evolving, what do you think?
>
>
>We have not had much content/research discussion lately. I'd like to
>see members from different parts of the world send in brief reports on
>workshops or laboratories they participated in over the summer, or
>critical reviews of new works they saw... Often we send in
>announcements of our own stuff, but we don't read critical responses,
>critiques, contextualizations of the work we do.
>
>For those interested, my new Environments Lab cycle at OSU has started
>again, this fall we have guest artists from Brazil (Ivani Santana) and
>Holland (Mirjam Schouten) with us, and an exciting new group exploring
>improvisation technologies and telepresence.
>
>We are publishing bulletins of the research-
