STEIM Micro Jamboree Dec 11 - 14 2006
STEIM is organising a Micro Jamboree from Dec 11 - 14, bringing together specialists in the field of sensor systems and their applications. Participating is only possible after registering by sending an email to jamboree [at] steim [dot] nl.The concerts are of course open for everyone. All presenters and performers are very welcome to visit the full program. The Jamboree Blog Monday Dec 11 STEIM's LiSa - current and future developments Location: STEIM, Achtergracht 19, Amsterdam Michel Waisvisz and Frank Baldé will present LiSa XC, the LiSa player that will run LiSa X setups (without the possibility to edit), and that will work as a universal binary on both the PPC and Intel processor in Mac computers. Plans for further development of this player into a full program will be presented in an informal session, where feedback is very welcome. Schedule: 13:30 Welcome - with coffee / cake 14:00-16:00 LiSa future 16:00-17:00 Roundtable discussion 17:00 Drinks Tuesday Dec 12 STEIM Hardware Meeting - Platforms for connectivity, creativity and community Location: STEIM, Achtergracht 19, Amsterdam In recent years we have seen a boom in various prototyping sensor platforms for artistic use. The idea of interfacing with sensors and microcontrollers in the arts is nothing new, however what we see different today is that the knowledge and tools to accomplish this has become more accessible through various channels and development has become ubiquitous. At STEIM we believe it is an interesting time for both the artists and designers to rethink about how technology may enhance (or deprive) creativity, and share these thought amongst others. We have invited a handful of developers of sensor platforms to give an informal presentation about their work and experience, and have planned a roundtable discussion with these developers and an Amsterdam based user group. This will be an intimate gathering amongst the invited and registered guests of the STEIM Micro-Jamboree. Participants:
10:00 - Doors open 10:30 - 11:15 Lex van den Broek 11:30 - 12:15 Dan Overholt 12:30 - 13:00 Takuro Mizuta Lippit Lunch Break 14:00 - 14:45 Stock and Simon de Bakker 15:00 - 15:45 Emmanuel Fletty 16:00 - 16:45 Massimo Banzi 17:00 - 17:30 Roundtable : Lippit, Broek, Fletty, Overholt, Stock, Banzi, META, Wassenburg 17:30 Drinks Wednesday Dec 13 STEIM Applications Meeting - Presentations about the practice of using sensor systems - both hardware and software Location: STEIM, Achtergracht 19, Amsterdam Since many years, STEIM has worked together with (groups of) artists to realize their projects, most of them dealing with interfacing real-life with analog and digital circuitry. For the Micro Jamboree we invited some of those artists as well as representatives of other institutions to present their projects. After a refreshing lunch there will again be a roundtable discussion to exchange ideas about the presented projects, and the balance between technology and creativity in sensor systems in general. Participants:
09:45 - Doors open 10:00 - 10:20 Per Samuelsson 10:30 - 11:00 Peter Sinclair and the Locus Sonus research group 11:10 - 11:30 Andrei Smirnov 11:40 - 12:00 CK Barlow 12:10 - 12:30 Tom Tlalim and Voldemars Johansons 12:40 - 13:00 Andreas Otto 13:30 - 15:30 Free lunch for all presenters and participants in the foyer 15:30 - 16:30 Roundtable: Samuelsson, SInclair, Bhalogh, Bralet, Van der Hulst, Smirnov, Barlow, Tlalim, Johansons, Otto, Lippit, Van Heumen Concerts In the STEIM Micro Jamboree this week there will be two concert nights, with performances strongly related to STEIM. On Wednesdaynight we`ll see instrumental electronics in very different ways, from commercial joysticks via self-build desktop control surfaces to fully developed electronic instruments. Concert at 20:30h - with TokTek (Tom Verbruggen), Uli Böttcher & Paul Hubweber and Christine Sehnaoui & Michel Waisvisz. Location: STEIM, Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134, Amsterdam Date: Wednesday Dec 13 Time: 20:30 Entrance: € 5 (free for participants) Reservations and more info: email knock[at]steim[dot]nl or call 020 6228690 Thursdaynight will feature performers that are going to be involved in STEIM`s artistic direction in 2007. Concert at 20:30h - with dj sniff, Shackle (Anne LaBerge & Robert van Heumen), Atau Tanaka and Joel Ryan & Mazen Kerbaj. Location: STEIM, Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134, Amsterdam Date: Thursday Dec 14 Time: 20:30 Entrance: € 5 (free for participants) Reservations and more info: email knock[at]steim[dot]nl or call 020 6228690 Locustream Tuner: Locus Sonus installation during the Micro Jamboree & Concerts Audio streams are captured by open microphones put in place by people who are participating in the project from around the world, these are not playlists or field recordings, simply the local sound environment which is encoded & uploaded in real time. The installation consists of a pair of wires stretched the length of the exhibition space with a small ball threaded on them. The position of the ball can be altered by the public acting like a tuner, an audio promenade where the user slides there way through a series of remote audio locations. Locus Sonus is a research group specialized in audio art (École Supérieure d'Art d'Aix-en-Provence, École Nationale Supérieure d'Art de Nice Villa Arson). Our objective is to experiment and evaluate the innovative and transdisciplinary nature of audio art forms in a lab-type context. We are are also concerned with in the communal, collective or multi-user aspects inherent to many emerging audio practices and which necessitate working as a group. Two main themes define this research - audio in it's relation to space and networked audio systems. The "Lab" proposes a process combining practical artistic experimentation and critical evaluation in a group context.
