Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:51:00 GMT

A series of weekly working groups and workshops at _____-micro_research ; an independent research centre focusing on the expanded construction and experience of free software and open hardware. Calendar: July 4th 2PM: workshop: Fluxus - Scheme livecoding, animation, games and plants with Dave Griffiths at pickledfeet July 5th 8PM: performance Fluxus live coding with Dave Griffiths and all participants at General Public Forthcoming matter: schmelzolan robots, software radio, hydrogen line, micro-cuisine, kitchen sink chemistry, Kicad, openEEG, fiction generation, thoughtography, org-mode ... contact if you're interested in leading -related workshop. //<----------------------------------------------- July 4th 2PM: workshop: Fluxus - Scheme livecoding, animation, games and plants with Dave Griffiths at pickledfeet In this workshop you will find out about the emerging art form of livecoding and learn how to write simple scripts to create animations in 3D space. After an introduction to the scheme programming language and how to use it to build shapes and animate them, you will be let loose on prototype game code for groworld - a game still in production which takes elements from guerilla gardening, permaculture and plant growth. No previous programming experience required. Interest in games and plants a bonus :) Please install fluxus prior to the workshop, which you can find here: <a href="http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/packages/">http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/packages/</a> Windows version not recommended at present due to instability, an alternative is to use a bootable CD linux distro such as this one which will be made available on the day: <a href="https://devel.goto10.org/puredyne">https://devel.goto10.org/puredyne</a> Details: <a href="http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/">http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/</a> Cost: 10 euros (including food).

Process-based sonic improvisations; live generative music using hand crafted and live coded apps, scripts and l-systems in networked synchrony. With roots in UK electronica and tech culture, slub build their own software environments for creating music in realtime. Only custom composition and DSP software is used. Everything you hear is formed by human minds. Slub project their screens so that the audience are able to appreciate their live software development process, which does not adhere to industry quality control standards. They communicate using OSC over UDP and eyebrow gestures. The output ranges from extra slow gabba, through intelligent ambient to acid blues glitch. <a href="http://www.slub.org">http://www.slub.org</a> Free entry at: General Public Schönhauser Allee 167c U2 > Senefelder Platz ---_______ Background: Workshops led by field-expert practitioners extend over realms of code and embedded code, environmental code, noise, transmission and reception, and electromysticism.

Breakthrough. Saturday 27 June 2009 12-24.

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:41:00 GMT

Schedule/locations/information before/on the day: FM: 107.9 MHz // 3050187482 // <a href="http://1010.co.uk/org/breakthrough.html">http://1010.co.uk/org/breakthrough.html</a> #breakthrough on irc.goto10.org and on this mailing list Breakthrough is created as an experimental 12 hour event distributed across Berlin locations, inter-network and radio space. Self-organising nodes construct an event occupied with the dislocation of representation [language, software], time and space, and maintained with a strict scheduling and interrupt system backbone (micro-FM and Internet). The term breakthrough describes a sudden shift in understanding or technologies, and, finally, a clearing (Lichtung), an entry into unknown and unmapped territories. An enclosure is breached allowing access to another, totally unforeseen state or space. Communication is thus implied, a new form of exchange, perhaps between two otherwise unconnected domains, between the living and the dead, between many worlds. What does the sheer possibility of a breakthrough imply for communication between the past and the future? Breakthrough, as event, signals a change in direction, a pointing towards new ways of actively describing and creating the world. Within a complex mise en scene of workshops, lectures and performances, diverse artists, theorists, researchers, and hackers collaborate in the creation of a breakthrough which can rupture the enclosure of scientific rationalism and enlightenment without recourse to named magic. **Participants: Benjamin Laurent Aman, Sam Ashley, backyardradio Berlin, Ana Buigues, Benjamin Cadon, Alejo Duque, Leif Elggren, Verena Friedrich, Kathrin Guenter, Derek Holzer, Brendan Howell, Martin Howse, Jonathan Kemp, Martin Kuentz, Bjørn Magnhildøen, Olga Panadés Massanet, PATO, Shintaro Miyazaki, Douglas Park, Thomas Ploentzke, Otto Rossler, Alia Scalvini, Der Tapeman, TeleKommunisten, Adam Thomas, Marcel Türkowsky, Danja Vassiliev **Constructivist workshop: Breakthrough will be constructed and prepared within a three day workshop at _____micro_research 2PM 24,25,26 June 2009.

Saturday 23rd May 9PM: Jamming Through Runtime with Valentina Vuksic at General Public

Fri, 22 May 2009 18:26:00 GMT

Acoustic science fiction trips through the magnetic spheres of laptop motherboards. Jamming Through Runtime, a performance following the day-long workshop at xxxxx_micro_research,expands and extends Valentina Vuksic's Trip(ping) Through Runtime, inviting participants to join with both intrusive and non-intrusive interventions into otherwise hidden, interior processes of laptops and computer motherboards; a theatre or symphony of hard and soft audio interactions. A collection of elderly laptops is being examined via magnetic pickup microphones. The microphones transform the magnetic waves around the various electronic parts of the computers. Each action upon the laptops can be sensually experienced through a broad range of layered sounds. Already plugging the power and booting up an operating system reveals an own small-scale universe of sounds and provides insight into the complex spare room emerging between hard- and software. This space is being explored and further modeled by triggering actions on purpose. System analysis tools, stress tests and custom c-programs shall bring the characteristics of each machine into the limelight. Tripping Through Runtime is part of a longer-term study, diving into the invisible interrelationships of hard and soft computer matters by sensual means. The project aims at provoking and detecting specific behaviour of individual computer components in match with adequate software pieces. The microphone demonstrations are part of the first experiments to become acquainted with the hardware components. Jamming Through Runtime will be performed with Valentina Vuksic and xxxxx_micro_workshop participants at General Public, Schönhauser Allee 167c, Berlin travel: U2 > Senefelder Platz <a href="http://www.generalpublic.de/">http://www.generalpublic.de/</a> More information: www.harddisko.ch www.1010.co.uk/org/workshop.html About Valentina Vuksic: Valentina Vuksic studied New Media Art at the Zurich University of the Arts and Information Systems in Germany. Important works have included Harddisko, a noise and disturbance amplifier system for harddisks, and Sei Personaggi Part 2, a play in computers.

Calendar: May 9th 2PM: Horror Vacui - careful experimentation with monitor cathode ray tubes [with Jo FRGMNT Grys] May 16th/17th: THE WHITE VISITATION May 23rd 2PM: Jamming through Runtime [workshop and performance with Valentina Vuksic] May 30th 2PM: RFID sniffer and RFIDuino [with Marc Boon] Forthcoming matter: software radio, hydrogen line, micro-cuisine, kitchen sink chemistry, Kicad, openEEG, fiction generation, thoughtography, org-mode ... contact if you're interested in leading -related workshop. //<----------------------------------------------- May 9th 2PM: Horror Vacui - careful experimentation with monitor cathode ray tubes [with Jo FRGMNT Grys] This workshop is concerned with the re-use of VGA/CRT monitors as experimental devices. It covers basic considerations of electronic vacuum technology, particle acceleration, de- & re-construction praising the empty space. Danger, sparks & entertainment! Practical experiments will be performed including VGA signal generation, interference, signal injection, modification, graphical animation without computer. Participants are free to bring: - old VGA monitors - Arduino or equivalents with arduino 0012 installed (0015 produces some jitter due to optimisations) (<a href="http://www.arduino.cc">http://www.arduino.cc</a>) - GNU/Linux, Mac OS, Windows - cut off VGA cables. Additional monitors, equipment and Arduino-equivalents will be available. Printed documentation/sourcecode will be delivered Jo Grys (aka FRGMNT) is a lowtech/hitech noise scientist who lives & works in Berlin. <a href="http://tob.de.vu">http://tob.de.vu</a> Fee: 10 euros (all materials and food!)

xxxxx_micro_research workshops:15_16: Frequency Dependence/Horror Vacui

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:14:00 GMT

A series of weekly working groups and workshops at xxxxx_micro_research ; an independent research centre focusing on the expanded construction and experience of free software and open hardware. Calendar: May 2nd 2PM: Frequency Dependence: wave imaging open working group May 9th 2PM: horror vacui - careful experimentation with monitor cathode ray tubes [with Jo FRGMNT Grys] May 16th: THE WHITE VISITATION Forthcoming matter: software radio, hydrogen line, micro-cuisine, kitchen sink chemistry, Kicad, openEEG, fiction generation, thoughtography, org-mode ... contact if you're interested in leading -related workop. //<----------------------------------------------- May 2nd 2PM: Frequency Dependence: wave imaging open working group ... Polaroid film can be employed to map the fields directly in less than five minutes. The method is both convenient and inexpensive. The intensity of a field can be measured by simply holding the film in the path of the waves. Inspired by the work of professor Keigo Iizuka in the late 1960s, Saturday's open working group will explore photographic imaging of the fields of both ultrasonic waves and microwaves. A variety of wave generating setups will be used with super-cooled, pre-exposed film in an experimental attempt to record wave patterns of frequency dependent phenomena. Participants are welcome to bring sources of both microwaves (eg. wireless card with antenna) and ultrasonics.
