*CALL FOR PROJECTS*

The sixth edition of make art – in-between design: rediscovering
collaboration in digital art – will take place in Poitiers (FR), from
the 4th to the 7th of November 2010.

make art is an international festival dedicated to the integration
of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) in digital art.
make art offers performances, presentations, workshops and an
exhibition, focusing on the encounter between digital art and free
software.

*in-between design: rediscovering collaboration in digital art*

Today's market production accelerates the spread of non-critical and
standardized aesthetics, by means of locked top-down distribution
mechanisms and a series of tools that enforce it. At the same time
new forms of methodologies inspired or powered by free software,
participatory practices and peer-to-peer networks are fueling many
Internet subcultures. Some of these emerging practices will lead to
competitive social productions, while other will remain as pure
artistic experiments.

By adopting production and distribution methods based on free software
and open standards and by sharing the sources of one's work with
others, the collective knowledge base and aesthetic sensibilities can
freely interact to explore uncharted, hybrid directions which no
longer reflect the supremacy of a single idea.

• Does the sharing of artworks "recipes" and tools help debunk
  the myth of the isolated design genius?
• By leaving the possibility of ongoing development and refinement,
  is it possible to ever produce a "final" design?
• Can these methods and technologies inspire new forms of creation or
  tools, beyond self-referential productions?
• Is it wishful thinking to approach collaborative graphical design
  in the same way as an open source software project?
• Is Free and Open Source licensing a catalyst for creation or does
  it add an extra level of complexity?
• Can the limitation of one license trigger new forms of constrained
  creativity?

We're currently seeking new, innovative media art and design works and
projects focusing on the above theme and questions:

• graphical artworks and installations
• lectures
• project presentations
• software and hardware demos

We're also seeking audiovisual performances that will take place
during the festival evenings.

The submitted projects must fit this focus and be made in a free/libre
and open source environment, this includes both its optional
dependencies or production tools and the operating system. We are
asking you to publish the sources of your project under a free culture
license of your choice or release it into the public domain.
Projects that do not meet these criteria will not be considered.

*How to apply*

Submission form and a list of additional requirements are available at:
http://makeart.goto10.org/call/

Deadline: *Saturday 31 July 2010*

Incomplete or late applications will not be processed.

MAKE ART 2009 - What The Fork?!
distributed and open practices in FLOSS art

--

CALL FOR PROJECTS

--

make art is an international festival dedicated to the integration of
Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) in digital art.

The fourth edition of make art -- What The Fork?! distributed and open
practices in FLOSS art - will take place in Poitiers (FR), from the 7th
to the 13th of December 2009.

make art offers performances, presentations, workshops and an
exhibition, focused on the encounter between digital art and free
software.

We're currently seeking new, innovative FLOSS works and projects: music
and audiovisual performances, presentations, software demos, and
installations.

This year make art focuses on distributed and open practices in FLOSS
art. 'What the fork?!' is about decentralisation. Forking is the new
black. Forking, copying the source code of a project and continuing
work on the copy instead of the original, used to have a bad reputation.
It would split a project and its developer community in pieces, leading
to different, often incompatible, projects. Wasted effort, rivalry and
developer fights were all associated concepts. This is history. Forking
a project with the intention to compete with it is another story, but
the freedom to fork enables quick implementation of features and
customization, bypassing acquiring committer status, bugfix or feature
request protocol, working in a distributed way, together with others but
not necessarily towards one goal, working from one source,
cross-fertilising, inspiring, copying, patching, improving,
experimenting, changing direction, and merging. This practice is boosted
by decentralised software development tools, such as Darcs, Mercurial
and Git. It's not about quick hacks, but about creating room to
experiment, letting go of the one working copy and creating a
multiplicity of ideas.

Deadline : 15th of July 2009.

I implemented the filter algorithm described in this paper:

http://dafx04.na.infn.it/WebProc/Proc/P_061.pdf

code is here if anyone's interested:

svn checkout https://code.goto10.org/svn/maximus/2009/muug/

I called it muug~ to distinguish from the moog~ in ggee, which uses a simpler algorithm.

Not very optimized (at least so far) - expect it to use loads of cpu juice for each object. And a bug: it only works correctly at 44100 sample rate inside a 4x upsampled subpatch, see the help patch for an example.

Sorry for ><, please >>

Latest project I'm working on for live audio-visual performance is codenamed h4tek, it follows on from the D01234(5) hypercube stuff. This one uses a 24-cell for visual excitement, and makes sounds a bit like this:

http://claudiusmaximus.goto10.org/feed/media/ClaudiusMaximus%20-%20h4tek%20%28Tenfold%20Edit%29.ogg

(note: brutally edited down from a 30min session, actual live sounds are slower progressing, and massive thanks to andy for his analog drum engine patch which I ripped a lot of the sounds from...)

more demos of this and plenty other stuff in my podcast:

I can't see any attachments on any posts even when logged in - the conversations around them seem to indicate that they are there, but I can't see them.

Some glitch in the matrix?

1min teaser of work in progress:

http://claudiusmaximus.goto10.org/files/video/puzzle.ogg

(Ogg Theora+Vorbis, should play fine in VLC and other good players)

I hacked some code into vline~ to improve it, but I need more people to test it before I file a patch on the sf.net tracker for Miller to include it into Pd.

If you know how to compile, you can download a tarball here:

https://devel.goto10.org/dl.php?repname=maximus&path=%2Fuline_tilde%2F&rev=0&isdir=1

(Makefile is for linux, but should be simple to compile on other platforms).

[uline~] is essentially a copy of [vline~], but it shouldn't explode when you keep sending it messages when DSP is off. But, I need to check that it doesn't deviate from [vline~] behaviour when you mess around with DSP switching.

All feedback appreciated, especially bug reports. Thanks!

OPENLAB 3

Group Show, 4/11-11/11/2006, 1-7pm
Opening Event and Private View 4/11/2006, 4 -12 pm
Closing Event 11/11/2006, 4-12 pm

SE15 2QX Peckham, London

OpenLab is delighted to present OpenLab3, an group exhibition with an opening and closing event featuring musical performances by more than 20 artists and musicians of the OpenLab collective. OpenLab engages in the aesthetics and politics of Free Open Source Software Culture. Free Software Culture seeks to emphasise transparency of the creative process by making all stages of development available to others, enabling them to learn how the creation works and alter it for their own purposes. When this idea is applied to artistic practices, the boundaries between the artistic usage of software tools and their collaborative development become blurred. The workings of the artist's tools are exposed, and the artists are actively engaged in developing media technologies. They can modify them to suit their goals, rather than creating works by using existing tools that impose "their way of doing things" on the artwork.

This group exhibition brings together interactive installations, sonic interventions, video works and animations which explore the audio-visual code of this network culture: computers start to paint pictures on their own, expose their internal circuits and "commit suicide"; birds will sing and fly around in multiple realities, the skylines of two cosmopolitan cities merge, language, meaning and time burst into fragments and recombine. The range of the combined works points to the strength of Open Source Culture -- its increasing versatility as artistic playground essential to contemporary debates and its continued importance not just in the invention of new media realities but also in tackling themes of "real" time and space.

The two music events feature sound and multimedia performances of artists who use and develop open-source tools such as PD, Supercollider, Processing and Fluxus. They will perform prepared sets and code their music live in various programing languages. Musicians will also experiment with a set of live instrument swapping. By exchanging PD-Patches, they will challenge each other in an uncharted space of sonic manipulation. The performances will span from excursions into the symphonica, experimental noise and soundscapes to electronica and beat-oriented minimal techno-sets.

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: Rob Canning, Chun Lee, Claude Heiland-Allen, Carl Forsell, Sabine Gottfried, Karsten Gebbert, Paul Webb, Rob Munro, Chiharu Kaido, Evan Raskob, U-Sun, Ryan Jordan, Oli Laruelle, Robert Atwood, Luke Jordan, Rene, Monica Subrotova & Daniel Kordik, Michael Woelkner, Andy Farnell, Martin Aaserud, Ryan Jordan & Rachel Horne, Dave Griffith & Alex McLean

Draft version 0.0.9 has just been released, fixing many errors.

Audio turned into video turned back into audio, in a crazy mixed up feedback loop.

Re:Scanned MP3 Preview / Re:Scanned Gallery

Realized with Pd+GridFlow.

Premiere performance at Mr Juice Is Coming, Whitechapel Art Gallery, London UK ; 7pm Friday 18th August 2006.

Here's something me (Pd) and a friend of mine (guitar) made a short while ago, a meandering jam session, it all flows together without any individual tracks as such:

ClaudiusMaximus and Trel - Technology vs Guitar

Here's a screenshot of the Pd patch interface:

bigger

And here's some Gridflow visuals that I'm working on to accompany the Pd patch, all synced to the same controls, so it's all in time:

I'll be publishing the patches in about a week or so, at the moment they are changing too rapidly. An older version is here:
http://devel.goto10.org/listing.php?repname=puredata&path=%2Fpd-patches%2Fclaudiusmaximus%2FClearSpot%2F&rev=0&sc=0

[osc~]1 modulates the frequency of [osc~]2 which modulates the frequency of [osc~]1 again and so on, you end up with chaotic oscillations that sound like this when you tweak them in certain ways:

[url=http://www.archive.org/audio/audio-details-db.php?collectionid=ClaudiusMaximus_-_Soft_Rock_EP&collection=opensource_audio ]http://www.archive.org/audio/audio-details-db.php?collectionid=Claudiu sMaximus_-_Soft_Rock_EP&collection=opensource_audio

(last track uses cheesetracker as well as Pd)

Tonight I made a little patch using Gridflow to generate fractals like this:



The source image for this one was a red circle, but you can use any image provided it has 3 channels (ie, no b/w or grayscale or transparency).

Here's the patch:




Other people have made much cooler stuff than me:

Cyrille Henry - L-systems (Gem)

Ben Bogart - texture feedback (Gem)

Mathieu Bouchard - fractalizing video (Gridflow)


I'd be very interested in seeing more ways of making fractals, so if anyone knows of any, please post them here

Something I made this morning using Pd+Gridflow: (10MB)
http://www.goedel.demon.co.uk/ClaudiusMaximus%20-%20Copy%20Me%20-%20Sc anned%20(demo%202005-05-01)%20(excerpt)%20-%20xvid%20mp3.avi

Some samples (13MB worth) played with [tabplay~], some sounds have more variants than others. Uses a callback system where a &#036;0-receive-name plus parameters is sent to a receive within an abstraction with the same &#036;1 as the caller, which sends back the name of the table to play using [ ; ... ( . This enables many players to share the same sample tables (thus saving memory) or not (can't think of a reason why at the moment, but hey).
