. ( Please come if you can! Whatever you think of the work, it's most likely unique and on some sort of strange frontier between 'real' and 'virtual,' 'analog' and 'digital' and the boundaries of modeling and recognition. We're down in West Virginia until August; this is probably the only chance to see the videos and images 'live.' Thanks! - Alan ALAN SONDHEIM at MILLENNIUM FILM, New York City, March 15 Film Workshop, Inc. 66 East 4th St. New York, N.Y. 10003 Personal Cinema Program Winter Series 2008 *STARTING TIME - 8PM *ADMISSION - $8 / $6 (for members) *INFORMATION - (212) 673-0090 www.millenniumfilm.org [email protected] FILM SERIES STAFF Program Director - Howard Guttenplan Projection - Michael Park, Lorenzo Gattorna MARCH 15 (Sat.) ALAN SONDHEIM CUTTING THE EDGE. Alan Sondheim, Azure Carter, Sandy Baldwin and Gary Manes have been working for the past several months at the Virtual Environments Laboratory, West Virginia University, Morgantown. Sondheim will be presenting the results of that research, which involves avatars, human modeling, phenomenology of virtual lives, choreography, motion capture, and a host of other issues. Some of the work has been completed with renowned dancer/choreographer Foofwa d'Imobilite, based in New York and Geneva, Switzerland. The modeling includes distorted and misconfigured mappings, crystal and other radio mappings of the environment, and other material which literally cut the edge, live on the edge of software, hardware, and real-life environments, including Second Life, Brooklyn, West Virginia, and spaces internal to 3D modeling programs. This work is supported by National Science Foundation (WVU) and New York State Council On The Arts grants. The prolific Alan Sondheim has been a regular part of the Personal Cinema Series for many years and this program contains his usual collection of surprises, sexual meditations and formal adventures. He has been constructing audio and video, performing, and inscribing within cyberspace since 1994. Since that time he has been working on an "internet text," a continuous meditation on philosophy, psychology, language, body and virtuality. _______________________________________________ nettime-ann mailing list [email protected] http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-ann
