DORKBOT in STOCKHOLM
Dorkbot#2 (www.dorkbot.org)
May 19, 2005 at 19.00
CRAC, Asogatan 176
After the success of dorkbot#1 we have put together a sparkling program
for the sequel!
We proudly present:
Leo Parden Brimberg and Roberto N Peyre:
The artist Roberto N-Peyre and sound engineer/musician Leo Parden Brimberg will present and dicuss their collaboration "Projekt O" at Dorkbot-sthlm the 19th of May."Projekt O" is an installation work in progress. The work is based on the sculptural idea of sound/air, heat/light rhytmically carrying smoke (material) through a hole, thus creating visible enlightened thermodynamic flows in a dark room. The construct works much like and is inspired by a vulcano or an oceanic vent. The work bridges stage magic, parapsychological phenomena, alchemical processes and modern sound technology.
Sachiko Hayashi:
Sachiko Hayashi is a new media artist, working primarily with net art and video. Her works consistently aim to integrate use of digital technology and aesthetic/conceptual/social discourses. Born and raised in Tokyo and currently resident in Sweden, Hayashi's works have been shown at various International new media art festivals. For a Dorkbot-sthlm meeting she will be talking about her net art Trapped and her latest video "boop-oop-a-doop," which are considered to be representative of her works.
Trapped (net art, www.e-garde.net/trapped, shockwave) takes us through a journey into the human psyche where we are confronted with our own responses to its enigma. "boop-oop-a-doop"(video) investigates into her own observation over the creation of identity in our highly developed media society. "boop-oop-a-doop" was created by using such historical video synthesizers as Paik/Abe wobulator and Jone's Colorizer at the Experimental Television Center in New York.
The arrangement is free and everybody is more than welcome!
We're looking forward to see you!

IMAGINATION
is open to works and projects dealing with traditional and future forms of
the moving image.
Possible submissions include analogue and digital films/videos, experimental
films (including sound/video), 2D and 3D animations, extended forms of
traditional cinema, linear and non-linear narrative image sequences, mobile
and innovative screen formats, split- and/or multiple-screen arrangements.
They may be complemented by modes of individual and collective interaction
if wished.
PROCESSING
is open to works and projects that are characterised by processes and live
elements.
Installations or systems can be submitted that are devised to involve a
local situation and/or an audience actively, thus emphasising the ability to
interact and improvise when handling digital information systems. This
includes performances, immersive and hybrid (real/virtual) environments,
'play- and social software' applications, 'smart objects', intelligent and
ambient systems as well as interface and interaction design.
TRANSPOSITION
is open to works and projects emphasising acting and communicating within
technologically defined networks.

specifically apply network architecture that functions independently of time
and place. This includes for example location-related and distributed
systems (LAN/WAN/WIFI etc.), mobile computing, UMTS and GPS applications,
infra-red and Bluetooth connections. The key feature in each case is an
unusual and/or experimental use of technologically defined network
topographies.
VIPER is looking forward to receiving exciting, ambitious and innovative
works and projects!

++RADIO ARTS will privilige all forms of inventive radiophonic creation: documentary,
fiction, essays, interviews, radio mix, Hörspiel, experimental forms etc.
++NEW MEDIAS awards will go to sound installations or sonic works which have been specially created for "new media" to bring new experiences in sound art to listeners - mobile phone, audioblog, site exploring the acoustic dimensions of the net.
In each category the jury will deliberate on two types of work :
1)completed productions
2)projects
(") Prizes
