Subject: Multi-viewpoint interactive movie
hello everyone,
I made multi-viewpoint QTVR using shockwave.
[doublady] Quicktime and Shockwave are required.
http://member.nifty.ne.jp/derin/qtvr/dcr/index.html
A visitor can get the space consciousness of the 360 circumferences by
combining the two same movies and synchronizing them. At this time, the
image of the female body is mapped on 3D-Model of trans-architecture
which I created.
In the future, more extension of consciousness is also induced by
making two movies of perpendicular and level rotation synchronize.
and I also consider the project which obtains composite-consciousness
of space that the image sampled from actual city space and an abstract
image ..., for example, [0128d],
http://member.nifty.ne.jp/derin/qtvr/harajuku/index.html
is combined.

I appreciate two online magazines [Neural Online] and [Content-Wire.com]
which introduced my project. Thank you very much.

REGISTRATION DETAILS
====================
Registration is now open for COSIGN 2001: Computational Semiotics in Games
and New Media. There are discounts for early registration and special
student rates. Details can be found at:
http://www.cwi.nl/conferences/Cosign2001
Early registration is encouraged, and attendees are advised to book their
hotel rooms well in advance due to the limited amount of accommodation
available in Amsterdam. Links to hotel listings are available on the main
conference website:
http://www.kinonet.com/cosign2001
The programme for the conference will be posted to this website shortly.
CONFERENCE SCOPE
================
This cross-disciplinary conference explores the ways in which semiotics
(and related theories such as structuralism and post-structuralism) can be
applied to creating and analysing computer-based media. It is intended for
anyone with an interest in areas of overlap (or potential overlap) between
semiotics and interactive digital media - including artists, designers,
critics, computer scientists, HCI, AI and VR practitioners, semioticians,
narratologists and new media practitioners.
Computational semiotics is understood here to be the application of
semiotic theories to interactive digital media and has three main areas
(which overlap). They are:
* The way in which meaning can be created by, encoded in, or understood by,
the computer (using systems or techniques based upon semiotics).
* The way in which meaning in interactive digital media is understood by the
viewer or user (again using systems or techniques based upon semiotics).
* The use of semiotics as the starting point for a system for looking
critically at the content of interactive digital media - devising a critical
framework equivalent in status and depth to art theory or academic film
criticism.
Media that make use of the unique capabilities of digital systems are of
particular interest to this conference. These include: computer games,
interactive narratives and other forms of interactive entertainment;
interactive video; virtual reality systems and virtual environments; and
hypermedia.
In addition to academic and theoretical papers, there will be presentations
by several digital artists of practice-based work relevant to the themes of
this conference. Selection of these artworks has been based upon their
relevance to the themes of the conference, their interest in demonstrating
or exploring the potential of new media, and their challenging of
perceptions, theoretical assumptions, or understanding in any areas related
to the conference.
CONFERENCE PROGRAMME
====================
The conference brings together academic papers and posters from as far
afield as the USA, Australia, Japan, Norway, Denmark, Croatia, Italy,
Germany, Brazil, and the UK. Topics covered include: the aesthetics of
virtual environments; the production of place in role-playing games;
semiotic and non-semiotic MUD performance; literary theory and computer
games; the design of interactive narratives; the mapping of movement to
sound; web-based documentaries; the design of content management systems;
montage; the semiotics of interface design; etc.
In addition to academic and theoretical papers, there will be presentations
by several internationally-known digital artists of practice-based work.
Selection of these artworks has been based upon their relevance to the
themes of the conference, their interest in demonstrating or exploring the
potential of new media, and their challenging of perceptions, theoretical
assumptions, or understanding in any areas related to the conference.
A list of selected papers, posters and artworks can be found on the main
conference website at http://www.kinonet.com/cosign2001
The programme for the conference will be posted on this website shortly.

Subject: Babel announcement
PRESS RELEASE
BABEL
SIMON BIGGS
http://www.babel.uk.net/ going live 13 July 2001
Focal Point Gallery in association with Southend, Essex and Suffolk
Libraries has commissioned a major new Internet work from artist, Simon
Biggs. The final site will be linked to the to the online catalogues of the
partner Libraries and will be exhibited in the form of a large-scale
projection in libraries around Essex during July and August.
With this project Biggs has been given the opportunity to create a
site-specific work for a non-physical site. The site for Babel is an
abstract thing...information space and the classification of knowledge that
all libraries represent...and which in turn the Internet, where the project
is primarily realised, is. The challenge for Biggs has been to come up with
a metaphor that relates directly to the character of this site. The Dewey
Decimal numbering system, used in the cataloguing of library contents, is
that metaphor, visualised in a three dimensional multi-user space that is
itself a metaphor for the infinite nature of information. In Babel the
Dewey Decimal numbering system is employed as a means to navigate the
internet itself, the numerical codes mapping onto web-sites that conform
with the defined subjects.
Babel exists, in the first instance, as a web-site on the world wide web.
Viewers logged onto the site are confronted with a 3D visualisation of an
abstract data space mapped as arrays and grids of Dewey Decimal numbers. As
they move their mouse around their screen they are able to navigate this 3D
environment. Further to this, all the viewers are able to see what all the
other viewers, who are simultaneously logged onto the site, are seeing. All
the multiple 3D views of the data-space are then montaged together into a
single shared image, where the actions of any one viewer effect what all
the other viewers see. If a large number of viewers are logged on together
the information displayed becomes so complex and dense that it breaks down
into a meaningless, if often beautiful, abstract space.
Viewers are also able to navigate specific Dewey Decimal numbers and as
they do so a dynamic interface keeps them informed of web-site addresses
that conform with the subjects defined in the numbering system. Viewers can
choose to visit any of these sites with a simple point and click of the
mouse, opening the site in a new window.
Babel also exists as a multi-user installation, either indoors as an
immersive interactive environment or outdoors as an architectural
projection. In both cases the work remains located in both the physical
time and space of the installation site and also on the internet so that
viewers can interact with those who are both physically and telematically
present.
The website will be launched on 13 July 2001. A large-scale interactive
projection of the work can been seen at the following venues:

W e l c o m e t o t h e C I R C U S C o n f e r e n ce
will present the findings of a three year research program which set out to
explore the concept of creative pull; a model of practice which gives
priority, even control, to the creative maker or user in the development of
technological capability. During its lifetime CIRCUS generated discussion
on numerous topics giving rise to a number of successful interdisciplinary
projects (all of which can be explored on our website www.circusweb.org)
Throughout the life of the project a number of topics have continued to
recur, they included:
� the extensibility of the strategies of the open source movement among
programmers to other domains which we called "open process"
� the critical role of meta-data in managing new forms of creative practice
as well as the classification of cultural artifacts through metadata
relationships,
� the institutional reform required to optimise the "networked creativity"
which characterize the era of digital cultures.
The many discussion topics have clustered around a number of 'synergy
themes 'which will form the conceptual structure of the conference
� Description of culture: architectures of information
� Interactivity and the future of the creative practice
� Institutional supports for innovation or creative pull
� Theory and methodology of digital creative production contexts
.
If you wish to submit a proposal to the conference please keep these themes
in mind.
At the conference, as well as presenting the key conclusions relating to
each of the synergy themes. We would also like to invite submissions of
papers or projects which might throw additional light on these themes. And
finally that critical open discussion of the project will bring the CIRCUS
research program to a powerful set of conclusions.
Website
Consult our website <www,circusweb.org> to explore these ideas in more depth
or just browse the numerous papers which have been delivered over the
lifetime of the project. The site is an important outcome of CIRCUS. Not
only providing access to accumulating CIRCUS content but importantly the
site itself is a developing tool box for identifying and creating synergy.
Keep visiting the site as at the end of July it will be again upgraded to
include a new Metadata tool.
The interactive content mapping tool will allow Circus members to create and
browse an interactive, visual map of content generated through their
research. This map will visualise patterns that emerge and evolve within the
content based on user feedback. Accumulations of user micro-decisions will
form the basis of this system. The visualisation element reveals underlying
connections between content objects, allowing browsing from one content
object to the next along these relationships. This will be done using a
"bullseye graph" technique, which arrays related content objects according
to the strength of the relationships. This is a dynamic approach which
maximises interaction. This desktop environment provides an easy way to
move within the content space, integrating the graphical visualisation and
the textual content.
Future Research Outcome
The researchers based at the Utrecht School of Art (as part of the Design
for Digital Cultures Program) will continue to develop these synergy tools
beyond the lifetime.
The research thread: Modelling synergy within research groups through
metadata analysis of content objects. This project proposes a model for the
mining of content networks for the purpose of uncovering areas of potential
synergy within research groups. The model we propose is based on the
assumption that there are a number of implicit factors shared among content
objects that, though real, cannot be measured directly (latent variables).
These latent variables reveal themselves in the various aspects of content
objects that can be observed and documented (manifest variables). The
application of this paradigm is an objective and democratic process rather
than a hierarchical classification system. To illustrate the data analysis
feature of the model's implementation, Principal Component Analysis was
applied to the metadata associated with Circus research papers. The proposed
model is a potential answer to the challenge of applying architectures of
information to the description of culture. It may lead to the development
of a virtually self-sustaining system that will foster synergistic
collaboration among research groups, allowing ongoing interpretation of the
hidden inter-relationships between content objects.

sorry for the x-posting...
- -- http://www.antimedia.net/mediacircus/ --
Media Circus is a gathering of people who create, consume, critique and
distribute media content that challenges, questions, expresses and
celebrates our culture,
our society and the way we live.
The event features a variety of participants including DJ Toupee, Geert
Lovink, Jason Gibson, John Hughes, Lachlan Musicman, Leanne Minshull, MC
Heroine,
Naomi Klein, Nicole Biftek, PhucItUp, Scott Mcquire and many others...
But the most important participant is YOU, so we'd love to see you here
in Melbourne.
Come to Melbourne, Australia on Thursday 12th July for the Media Circus
Launch at the Public Office (100 Adderley St West Melbourne).
The Media Circus 2001 will happen Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th July
2001 at the Trades Hall, Carlton (Cnr Victoria & Lygon St).
The program guide (which is still morphing) is available from
www.antimedia.net/mediacircus/ - check it out for full details.

- --the full rant on the Media Circus--
Media Circus is a gathering of people who create, consume, critique and
distribute media content that challenges, questions, expresses and
celebrates our culture,
our society and the way we live.
The media is everywhere. Deals, ideas, ideology, websites, porn,
breaking news, films, positions vacant, knowledge, technologies. It's
all around us. Just as we
tend not to think about where milk comes from, we can forget to
interrogate the processes through which media is made. Homogenised and
pasteurised or
non-genetically-modified? It's all mediated.
There is little doubt that the large media corporations with their
diverse interests exert an overwhelming amount of influence and control
over the way our world
works. This is reflected upon and critiqued by academics and others in
privileged ghettos, but this detail is often contained inside their
sanctioned structures.
We know from our direct experience that the media manipulates and
distorts reality, that it misrepresents and influences priorities and
that it disempowers and
attempts to confuse us with choices we do not ask for. And we know that
the media should belong to us, the public, and not to a handful of
transnational
corporations.
The Media Circus will include a broad group of people to develop
networks and share and exchange information, knowledge, skills and
tactics. We need to reclaim
the media space and continue fostering a bottom-up media culture which
will break us free from the illusions which attack and prototype us
every day.
We need to tell our own stories and what better place to empower
ourselves than at the Circus. For the event to be a success, it is
essential that the
audience-presenter boundaries are broken. Everyone is a participant.
The Media Circus was first held in Melbourne in September 1999. See the
webbed archive. (http://www.antimedia.net/mediacircus/main99.htm)
Media Circus 2001 will be happening in Melbourne on the 12th, 14th and
15th July. 2001, and will be comprised of screenings, discussions,
forums and
exchanges. The days will be packed, but there will be spaces for
autonomous gatherings and networking.
It is hoped that this event will help create an origin from where more
Media Circus events can be held to continue the development of a media
culture in Melbourne
and other networked locations.

Subject: Call for Papers - FLUXUS
CFP - FLUXUS issue of Performance Research
FLUXUS was an international community of artists, architects,
designers, and composers described as "the most radical and
experimental art movement of the 1960s." As a laboratory of
experimental art, Fluxus was the first locus of intermedia, concept
art, events, and video, and a central influence on performance art,
arte povera, and mail art.
2002 will mark the 40th anniversary of the first Fluxus festival in
Wiesbaden, Germany. The journal Performance Research will mark the
occasion with a special issue.
Guest editors Ken Friedman and Owen Smith will coordinate this issue.
The editors will welcome proposals and complete papers on any topic
or theme relevant to Fluxus, the Fluxus artists and composers, or
their work.
Themes
"Fluxus is what Fluxus does -- but no one knows whodunit." Emmett Williams
"Fluxus is not a moment in history, or an art movement. Fluxus is a
way of doing things, a tradition, and a way of life and death." Dick
Higgins
As a large and somewhat diffuse phenomenon, there can be no single
approach to Fluxus. The editors encourage a wide variety of topics,
themes, and approaches.
A list of possible topics includes: art practice in Fluxus, art
theory in Fluxus, events, video, concept art and conceptual art,
intermedia, performance, artist books and periodicals, cooperative
housing, artist stamps, experimental film, Happenings, mail art, new
music.
A partial list of Fluxus artists and composers includes: Ay-O, Joseph
Beuys, George Brecht, Phil Corner, Robert Filliou, Ken Friedman, Al
Hansen, Geoffrey Hendricks, Dick Higgins, Bengt af Klintberg, Milan
Knizak, Alison Knowles, Arthur Koepcke, Shigeko Kubota, George
Maciunas, Jackson Mac Low, Larry Miller, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik,
Takako Saito, Mieko Shiomi, Ben Vautier, Wolf Vostell, Yoshimasa
Wada, Robert Watts, Emmett Williams, and La Monte Young.
Articles on other artists and themes are also welcome.
Special theme:
2002 also marks 30 years since the 1972-73 Fluxshoe toured England
with a series of performances, concerts, and exhibitions. This issue
of Performance Research will particularly welcome contributions that
focus on the historical and geographical activities centered on the
Fluxshoe, together with considerations of how it influenced the
British art of the years since.
Overview
Fluxus has been a laboratory characterized by George Maciunas's
notion of the "learning machine." The Fluxus research program has
been characterized by twelve ideas: globalism, the unity of art and
life, intermedia, experimentalism, chance, playfulness, simplicity,
implicativeness, exemplativism, specificity, presence in time and
musicality.
These ideas describe the qualities and issues that characterize the
work of Fluxus. Each describes a "way of doing things." Together,
these twelve ideas form a picture of what Fluxus is and does.
The implications of these ideas have been interesting and
occasionally startling. Fluxus has been a complex system of practices
and relationships. As a forum of philosophical and artistic practice,
Fluxus developed and demonstrated ideas that would later be seen in
such frameworks as multimedia, telecommunications, hypertext,
industrial design, urban planning, architecture, publishing,
philosophy, even management theory.
This issue of Performance Research will explore the general and
individual aspects of Fluxus that have made it so lively, engaging,
and difficult to describe.
