Sassy Shorts - 1960's Cybernetic Cinema ---------------------------------------------- Sassy Shorts 1960's Cybernetic Cinema Screening and Talk on Tuesday 23rd February 1999 ---------------------------------------------- Pete Gomes in conversation with Evelyn Wilson at Lighthouse Media Centre in Wolverhampton. We often assume that all things digital belong to the latter decade of the 20th century but the history of our creative involvement with technology can be traced back to a much earlier point in time. In this event, Pete Gomes, one of the new champions of early computer film talks to Evelyn Wilson about the relevance of this early work to his own and others digital projects. This will be followed by screenings of 'cybernetic cinema' and computer films from the 1960's - offering a rare opportunity to see some of the most experimental and highly visionary work from the period.

VRML-ART Paderborn VRML'99 VRML-ART at VRML '99 The Fourth International Conference On Virtual Reality Modelilng Language & 3D Web Technologies February 23-26, 1999 Siemens-Nixdorf-Museum Paderborn, Germany VRML-ART in Paderborn VRML-ART is a juried selection of 3-dimensional worlds, objects, and avatars, presented from Feb 23 to 26 , 1999, at the Siemens-Nixdorf-Museum in Paderborn, Germany. Projects of more than 60 artists and designers have been selected from 113 submissions, sent from countries around the world. Besides professional and semi-professional works, selected projects by students will also be shown. The exhibition is an important advance in the medium that amplifies the artistic output of 3D art and 3D design on the internet, and brings attention to VRML-ART in the context of professional discussions about the future of 3D digital imaging This exhibition is evidence of the newest inspirations of 3D virtual worlds, and shows the wide spectrum of application possibilities, as seen in social and communication chat applications, and in thematic sites with city information systems, scientific visualizations, and health education, as well as in artistic text based theory projects, abstract sculptures and forms, sound based spaces, and poetic hyper-structures. Furthermore, we would like to emphasize that the artists and designers are still submitting works, and in the future, expanded categories including room installations and performances, in the context of virtual reality, could be shown and presented. The exhibition VRML-ART is, until now, the biggest collection of three dimensional work ever assembled. Works by participants from twenty-four countries include Armenia, Austria, Canada, China, Croatia, Finland, France, Germany, England, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Macedonia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, the USA, Switzerland, Romania, Russia, Quebec, Czech Republic, Belgium, and Wales are represented. For the first time an international forum of such a type - the VRML-ART show joins together commercial ideas and artistic concepts, and provides a platform for it. The 3D Web Art Expo ONLINE PREMIER February 23, 1999 >From Feb. 23, 1999, the VRML-ART selection is launched on the Internet, under the address: www.vrml.org. The 3D Web Art Expo will remain online for future projects, which will be announced, commissioned, and linked. The importance of www.vrml.org is to focus on the present situation of 3D work, and will underscore the importance of the development of this area of work. The site will become a place on the internet where interested and competent people will be able to show their work and exchange know-how and information, and where selected artists projects will be shown. Because of the diverse techniques employed to create 3D, evidenced by the diverse platforms that were submitted to the first show of VRML-ART, other 3D technologies will be found in this selection. In order to see the sites ...we would like to point out that it is absolutely necessary and important to know which Internet browser (Netscape or Explorer) and which version (3.1, up to 4.5, etc.), which specific software (Cosmo, Intervista, Blaxxun, Sony or other) and with which hardware (MAC, PC or SGI) each work is created, in order to see it properly. VRML.ART ORGANIZATION CONTACT: The VRML-ART jury, and the 3D Art Expo committee is Karel Dudesek, Kathy Rae Huffman, Zwonimir Batokin, and Martin Schmitz. The VRML-ART show is presented in Paderborn on the occasion of the VRML '99 conference, www.c- Lab.de/vrml99. VRML-ART will be presented May 3-5, 1999 at EMAF, the European Media Art Festival, a multi-media festival held annually in Osnabrck, Germany. Details can be found at www.emaf.de.
