Interdisciplinary Studies Course, Konstfack, Stockholm

Bertrand Gondouin — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 10:00:00 +0000

I'm guest lecturer at Konstfack for an Interdisciplinary Studies Course organized by Nadia El-Imam (more info below). I will present a short history of live visuals production tools and software + projects I'm involved in. Students will be invited to mis/use my "Sramble" software using their own digital materials. Scramble will be used in an semi-immersive environment / fake Second Life using the Wii remote control as the main control interface.

Course Background:

As we spend more and more of our time socialising and conducting the business of our everyday lives Online, we see the rise of economies of the virtual; over the past eight years alone, Real-money trade of virtual property ('RMT') has burgeoned into a 2 Bn USD market. With the emerging visibility of new relationships and communities we see the emergence of new forms of ownership related to the accumulation of meta-data; these can be seen as attempts to obtain outwardly extending, all- encompassing ownership of information as opposed ownership of content, or enclosures of information. In order to identify and meet the challenges these developments pose to our lives in general and work in particular, we need to understand human experience in these environments. Exploring relationships between embodiment and enclosure as related to ownership is a central concern, obliging us to revisit what we know about how and what it is that distinguishes between how we function in bodied and disembodied contexts.

Course Description:

We are de-constructing idea of ownership as related to embodiment and the boundaries of integrity or ìthe state of being wholeî. This obliges us to revisit what we know about how and what it is that distinguishes between how we function in bodied and disembodied environments. With its central concern with the implications of ìpost humanî experience and embodiment, the course finds its natural home and setting in Second Life (SL), the Linden Labs online platform, and students are expected to participate in related seminars and lectures. Students are also expected to make presentations that explore and relate the different aspects of implementation using the Second Life platform with ones they make in a designated physical space.

Sys-Org Show at the Montauban’s theater

Bertrand Gondouin — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 16:00:00 +0000

2006-01-26&27 Théâtre Municipal, Montauban, France The Sys-Org collective is made up of four artists, each one working in different artistic areas - dance, music, video and light engineering. During 2003-2005, they created the Sys-Org Show within the context of residencies and workshops with children.

The performance is an exploration of inner and outer landscapes, centered round a dancer’s double identity.

The choreography creates a sonic and visual instrument which transformes physical impulse and energy into accoustic gestures and visual territories.

Composed as a sequence of concentrated scenes, it creates an emotional and narrative logic underscored by intense, abstract imagery. Taking the spectator through the looking glass into what may be the paranoic vision of an android, or simply a tale of modernity.

Great Dance Weblog : Sys-Org Show Video Podcast

Bertrand Gondouin — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 08:30:00 +0000

The Great Dance Weblog covers issues related to dance and technology

What's interesting is to go to the Performing Arts section of the available podcasts on iTunes. There are virtually no listings for dance related podcasts. People in the dance world are simply not taking advantage of this free distribution channel to reach larger audiences.
The only dance podcast - actually a dance video podcast - is the Video Sketch Book of the Sys-Org Dance Collective.
