19.00. Human-Machine Interface. Exhibition opening.
Open through the festival 13:00-17:00
The three works presented at this exhibition are united by
one approach: breaking into the existing and commonly used system (such as a TV
set, a printer or a computer), deconstructing it, and constructing a new system
out of it. As a result, artists present devices with new features, but at the
same time keeping the aesthetics and some functionality of the originals.
The resulted devices are “funny”, they look like
techno-jokes; playing with them is similar to looking at monkeys in a zoo: they
look and behave, keeping some features of their big brothers but also acting in
some unexpected ways.
However, these works pose important, and I would say
crucial questions in the (media) culture discourse. Who controls who? What is
the level of freedom we can reach (or loose) while living in the technologized
world? To which extent we should relate on the tools we are working with? Do we
need to know their back-ends?

WIMP - revolutional visualizer
WIMP (Windows Interface Manipulation Program, also refers to
Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointing device - the prehistorical GUI of the
1970's) is a program for creating full-screen visual animations synchronized
with sound in real time. As the only visual input WIMP utilizes graphical user
interface (GUI) of Windows operation system. Whatever applications windows,
icons, images, texts, etc. you have open on your desktop - they become an
inspiration source for WIMP and you. Animations are generated by simple 2- and
3-D effects and filters and their superimpositions. As such WIMP can be used as
a VJ tool, a screensaver, a cool grafix generator or as a piece of conceptual
art.

Rachel Beth Egenhoefer (USA)
How do you represent the algorithmic movement of board games
in knitting patterns?
Board game movement and instructions can be compared to
computer programmed algorithms. Move 4; if ladder go up, if chute go down, else
stay. They share a common set of instructions, execution of movement. Knitting
patterns also compare similarly to algorithmic instructions and construction of
digital matters. Row 1: Knit 12 Row 2: Knit 4, Purl 4, Knit 4, Purl 4 Row 3:
Purl 4, Knit 4, Purl 4, Knit 4 So if board games share a relationship with
computer programming and if knitting structures also share a relationship with
computer programming, then wouldn't board games and knitting also have a
relationship to one another? And what would it look like visually? If a
computer, a knitting machine, and a board game all sat down to dinner, what
would the conversation consist of?

Brad Borevitz (US, San Diego)
A children’s game transformed by the solvent of
computational method.
In modeling the game Chutes and Ladders on a computer, we
gain insight into the nature of both games and computation. The computer
version, unlike the rule bound cardboard version, is unfixed, thus allowing for
the displacement of a moral overlay by a free play of algorithmic patterning.
The abstraction of the model preserves a structure but unleashes a principal of
variation: the computer makes every constant a variable (as Marcos Novak
observes as he describes the liquefaction of architecture). The arbitrariness
of particular rules becomes evident. To play this game of games, one engages in
aesthetic experiment with the collaboration of chance rather than subject to it
and the rule of law. The promulgation of rule must necessarily entail aesthetic
judgment. The perception of and pleasure in pattern is implicated in a desire
for law - a desire to be ruled.

by [ plus ]
DE_ELECTRIFICATION lounge
Our idea of an action has its point in a discussion about the input-output process we all constantly take part in. By input we mean all the information we perceive in our everyday life while output connotes reflections and the making of new knowledge. We believe that there is an imbalance between input and output opportunities which results from a focus on functional processes in the digital world as well as in our society as a whole; somebody call this imbalance information overload. Our society can not necessarily be responsible for all the information we frequently perceive but maybe it is to blame for being short on room where we can empty our minds for information and experiences. Thus, we need more mental and physical free space where we can be de-electrified and/or de-informed. Some places designed for reflection and mental cleansing.
We believe that visitors and non-visitors at the READ_ME festival need a place where they can discuss their experiences with the digital world. Therefore, we would like to create a space for de-electrification: DE_ELECTRIFICATION lounge. It will be a public event for everyone; no invitations are required. The setting will be a cafe or simply a room where you can get physical and mental massage, debate and air utopian dreams. Also, their will be placebo-like instruments which aim at creating a mental state of de-electrification. Some of the instruments will be interactive digital tools while. In conclusion, a physical room for digital and mental output.

1. 'RGB.scr' [screensaver]
The screensaver moves separately three groundsignals of a screen (RGB) in random directions with a rising speed. At the
begining it looks like a small tremble, after several minutes like a flash. The warningsound of the operating system
accompanies the image, with a broken rhythm, more an more often. Before quitting, the screen gradually changes to its
initial state.
2. 'Computingfeadback' [computerinstallation]
Via a microfone a computer checks the sound volume coming out of the storage drive. If there appears a sound it is
recorded onto the memory, when the sound is over it is saved onto the storage drive. The writing storage drive produces
sounds again... The microphone also catches sourrounding sounds i.e. of spectators, which influences the running process,
turning endlessly.

N.E.S.T. - The Networked Exploration of Serendipitous
Transfer
N.E.S.T. is a cross platform application examining
corruption and disorder in virtual network communications. Audio is passed
around the Nest network by the means of the U.D.P. protocol. The Nest
applications method of communication allows several factors online and the
inherent techniques of this protocol to affect and degrade the original signal.
Users of the application are invited to watch and listen to
this process, engaging them in a search for serendipity as the message
gradually declines towards detritus. A mix between the children’s game of
‘Chinese Whispers’ and SETI’s Search for deep space intelligence Nest searches
virtual space for chaos.

Dot Matrix Synth
I've got an ongoing project, reprogramming the firmware in
these 1985 Epson LQ-500 printers to turn them into musical instruments. I
originally just wanted to make a sort of homemade mellotron, but it's evolved
into a much deeper project.
These printers (like all printers) have a computer inside that operates all the
motors and handles the parallel port, etc. The software that drives that
computer is all on an EPROM (a reprogrammable ROM chip.) I remove the EPROM,
erase it, and reprogram it with my own software that I've developed by reverse
engineering the printer and its computer.

facade of a building for the audio-visual performance of machines. With a special composition, composed for this location,
a computer controls these elements of sunprotection which are alienated from its original purpose. The sounds of the up-
and down moving blinds are captured with contact-microphones and intensified by means of a sound set. The facade
becomes an opera stage and somewere in the orchestra pit, there is the computer, the "conductor", whose acting can be

MIDIPoet is a software tool that allows the manipulation of
text and image on a computer in real-time. It has two parts: composer and
player, with which you can, respectively, compose and play pieces of
interactive text and image on the computer. These pieces may or may not respond
to external impulses, such as MIDI messages or the computer keyboard, and
generate visual manifestationes that involve the manipulation of the different
attributes of text (content, font, position, size, etc), image (content,
position, etc) and other elements and visual effects. Conceptually, MIDIPoet is
based on the notion of fields of events: a set of potential behaviors of visual
elements on the computer screen that happen or not depending on internal
conditions or external manipulations.

21.00 Rasmus Lunding (Please note! another venue: Splab)
Starting out on the punk and experimental music-scene in the 80-s in Arhus, DK. Lunding released records and played gigs with groups like: Picnic, Hunk-A, It?s my Head (DK/UK) and Encore+Grande (NL/F/DK), later moving on with solo-projects released on CDs and tape and finally ended up working with sound and music in a hybrid between artistic expression and sound a vehicle for tactile, gestural and creative output within installation-work, design and educational practicises.
[...]
Lately Lundings musical work has primarely been based around sound and space, using the computer to enhance and rework field-recordings. And beside that composing chambermusic based on a variety of sources: Malawian marimba-music, danish poetry, contemporary media-policy....[...]
Since 2001 Lunding has expanded his studies of sound and gesture as vehicles for animated expression through the means of robotics into live-performances w. interactive robot-soundsculptures. [...]
Rasmus Lunding is now working on expanding the Lego consumer-robot kit (Mindstorms RCX) into a musical component, suitable for live-performances.
Transforming this silly looking little robotic plastic toy-kit into a hybrid between mobile installations and electronic instruments, Lunding provides an occationally humourous performance, struggling to make the RCXs do what they are supposed to. [...]

the instrumentation. Although definitely electronic sounding, the music is
influenced more by guitar based bands and experimental music than dance or
electronica.[...]The printer is also used live and prints patterns while

A talk about CyberSpaceLand (performance and software)... Plus: Something
Else...
Computer culture, nerdy lovechild of the business and tech worlds, clashes
with pop and leisure culture daily. The result: leisure culture seems
increasingly like work. But what if we take a different approach?
"CyberSpaceLand" turns strange search engine queries into
fun-and-funky club visuals while revealing the possibly poignant poetry
people place on the net. And it turns tedious typing into a kinetic
performance! An all-text video mix, CyberSpaceLand is generated in
real-time by slightly chaotic algorithms and a human VJ performing with
slightly chaotic hand and foot operated gadgetry. VJ'ing goes unplugged...
CyberSpaceLand Home Edition is a freeware distribution of the same
software used in VJ Übergeek's live performances, but without the smokey
club haze. As a desktop productivity tool, CyberSpaceLand Home Edition
includes a music visualization option as well as CyberPOP, a psychedelic
e-mail reader.

LiVES workshop on video editing / VJing with LiVES and
Linux/BSD (with Salsaman)
http://lives.sourceforge.net/
LiVES began as the Linux Video Editing System. Since it now
runs on more operating systems, now LiVES is a Video Editing System. It is
designed to be simple to use, yet powerful. It is small in size, yet it has
many advanced features.
LiVES is part editor, part VJ tool. It is fully extendible
through open standard plugin scripts. LiVES lets you start editing and making
video right away, without having to worry about formats, frame sizes, or
framerates. LiVES will let you start creating your own tools, utilities and
effects via the built in RFX builder.
LiVES is aimed at the digital video artist who wants to
create their own content, the video editor who wants to create professional
looking video, and the VJ who wants to captivate with spectacular images.
I've put a new demo up online, this is the kind of thing
which could be created in a workshop. Something I would like to do is for the
group to have a selection of 20 or so randomly selected short video clips and some
music tracks and work together on making a presentation and then at the end of
it, give everybody a CD or DVD to take away. It would take a bit of
organisation, but I think it would be enjoyable for people.
Anyway, the demo shows a lot of things - what I am doing now
with text, what can be achieved with the current version of LiVES, and what can
be done in a very short time span (this was put together in just a few hours).
And of course, the quality of LiVES output.
Here's the demo:

relevant work on image manipulations, illustrating how the way medias can forge
some political opinions by images collisions techniques and propaganda, under
the thunder of noise made by one guy on his laptop.
Skeezo (a.k.a r3) are a collective of audiovisual creators
from Terrassa, near Barcelona. Coming from a background of political activism they extend this to their work :
building their own machines, using only free software and showing material that
explores the alienation and insurrectional possibilities of modern life. They
bring a breath of fresh air to a scene that is dominated by techniques and
point the way to technology being a truly liberating force.
Yves Degoyon is a musician and author of open-source
software for audio and video processing within the frame of Pure Data. Once motivated by the need to
create and use his own tools for sonic performances that would be different
from the standardized sound of commercial software, he then got into development of video extensions, with Tom Schouten (
belgium ) that have been used in several installations.

00.00 VJ Salsaman (LiVES) and VJ WIMP + DJ LJUD, Jens OK King
LiVES began as the Linux Video Editing System. Since it now
runs on more operating systems, now LiVES is a Video Editing System. It is
designed to be simple to use, yet powerful. It is small in size, yet it has
many advanced features.
LiVES is part editor, part VJ tool. It is fully extendible
through open standard plugin scripts. LiVES lets you start editing and making
video right away, without having to worry about formats, frame sizes, or
framerates. LiVES will let you start creating your own tools, utilities and
effects via the built in RFX builder.
LiVES is aimed at the digital video artist who wants to
create their own content, the video editor who wants to create professional
looking video, and the VJ who wants to captivate with spectacular images.

WIMP is a program for creating full-screen visual animations synchronized
with sound in real time. As the only visual input WIMP utilizes graphical user
interface (GUI) of Windows operation system. Whatever applications windows,
icons, images, texts, etc. you have open on your desktop - they become an
inspiration source for WIMP and you. Animations are generated by simple 2- and
3-D effects and filters and their superimpositions. As such WIMP can be used as
a VJ tool, a screensaver, a cool grafix generator or as a piece of conceptual
art.
