Subject: [x] Hi Folks .. we are creating an "audio gallery" in Vancouver ..
 starting with the 1st show this coming Friday.
Message-ID: <CA+OKGPYqC2GN68=wroFsTBbwg2WdBorh7_Czt5SxQk2NzU8A-Q@mail.gmail.com>

Lucky's Comics and Books + An Audio Gallery
present
"Sound Drawings" by Diana Burgoyne

an exhibition opening on Friday June 8th at 7pm
the show runs until July 2nd.

Lucky?s is located at 3972 Main Street in Vancouver (near Main and
24th). Open 7 days a week from noon-ish to 6 pm (5 pm on Sundays).


Each sound drawing consists of a large piece of paper with a speaker
and sound circuit connected to two copper strips. A pencil line is
drawn between the two strips and the electrical properties of the
graphite create an oscillator circuit. The sound that is generated by
the oscillator will change every time a new line is drawn or erased.
At the start, the drawings produce low frequency clicking sounds. As
the lines become thicker and more numerous, the sounds escalate and
become high pitched squeals.

Diana Burgoyne is an ?electronic folk artist.? Her work is based on
the utilization of simple electronic circuitry made from relatively
rudimentary components. Since the early 1980s, she has worked as an
artist and educator within the field of New Media creating
performances, installations, sculptures and workshops in Canada and
internationally. She was awarded the 2009 Fleck Fellowship by the
Banff Centre for the Arts and has been teaching a class entitled
?Creative Electronics? at Emily Carr University of Art and Design
since 1998.

An Audio Gallery is a new Vancouver collective of audio artists. We
are collaborating with Lucky's to show five audio installations
between June and December 2012. The shows will feature Diana Burgoyne,
Jeremy Isao Speier (with sound by Georgio Magnanensi), Absolute Value
of Noise, Jean Routhier, and Anna Friz.

Subject: [x] Next Processing Vancouver Meeting - June 18th
Message-ID: <7375DB7C-B6B9-460B-A3AB-AB0169115EB8@processingvancouver.ca>


The next Processing Vancouver meetup will take place on next Monday, June 18th, 7-9pm, at VIVO Media Arts centre.

We will be graced with two presentations by local creative coders:

1) Building Cities Procedurally: the CGA Shape Grammar language
A project by Alan Bucior, in his own words:

" My current project, which actually is neither Processing nor Cinder, but which started as a Cinder project, is in the area of procedural city building. 
I've been working on procedural road grid and lot generation, and procedural building generation, and more recently I've been implementing my own parser for CityEngine's CGA Shape Grammar, which is a language used to describe architecture. 
It's got a realtime editor with OpenGL preview, with some of elements of a Brett Victor-style intuitive coding interface. It's only tangentially creative coding, but I expect creative coders would like it...   "

2) POV: You Are Our Only Hope
A project initiated by VIVO and Brady Marks, POV is a volumetric display aiming to provide artists with a brand new means for creating and displaying works in 3D space. 
A prototype of this platform is available to view at http://youtu.be/Z3vaDtZJ64g

JEREMY TURNER, JUNE 29
*****************************

Jeremy Turner is our featured artist on Friday June 29 at 7pm.

I will also ask Alain Lioret and Pierre Berger if they are able to Skype in 
with us from Paris. Though that might be problematical as it is 4:30am in 
Paris at 7:30pm our time. In any case, Alain Lioret teaches generative art 
at the University of Paris 8 and is creating such art himself. Pierre Berger 
is on the board of SIGGRAPH and does http://diccan.com . It would be 
interesting to talk with Alain and Pierre to get a sense not only of what 
they themselves are doing but what's going on in Paris/France in generative 
art. More on this one way or another as the data sticks.

I'm happy to post about an upcoming show at the Audain Gallery called 'Where 
do We Stop and They Begin?' that opens Thursday June 21 at 8pm.

It was organized by Philippe Pasquier, Arne Eigenfeldt, Ben Bogart and Miles 
Thorogood.

The show features work by  Chris Anderson, Jim Andrews, Jim and Justine 
Bizzocchi, Ben Bogart, Kaj Duncan David, Arne Eigenfeldt, Malcolm Levy and 
Justin Love.

"Stemming from a long tradition of generative and process-based art, "Where 
do we stop and they begin?" presents audio, video, robotics, interactive 
installation and print pieces by a selection of Vancouver-based artists for 
which machines were part of the creative process. We invite you to come 
explore and question the idea of machine creativity."

I'm hoping to see you there!

Hiya all,
attached is a paper that refers to my current research, which explores soundscape representations of natural language. A component of the system uses social media services to explore a larger conceptual space of the natural language phrases. The system was used in a dance performance. I will be continuing this research to include machine learning algorithms for the classification of audio files for automated composition by an artificial agent. The application of this system would then be toward digital storytelling and augmented reality environments.




The attached image is an idea I am playing around with of creating ambient interaction using cognitive immersion strategies. This is still in the primary stages of development, simply a prototype of affect. I will start playing around with sorting algorithms, and motion in further progress.

Lucky's Comics and Books + An Audio Gallery
present
"Soundtrack for Kinetics" by Jeremy Isao Speier (with sound by Georgio
Magnanensi)

an exhibition opening on Friday July 6th at 7pm
the show runs until July 30th.

Lucky?s is located at 3972 Main Street in Vancouver (near Main and
24th). Open 7 days a week from noon-ish to 6 pm (5 pm on Sundays).

Kinetics emit sounds, some are subtle (soft), others more obvious
(sound fields). Kinetics is an installation of sculptural, kinetic
work. In this work there is a micro-aesthetic of interesting
electro-mechanical, and electrical found sounds of Kinetics.
Soundtrack for Kinetics, is a project involving acoustic installation
and recordings of 15 Kinetics, and is a sound installation that
creates an ambient audio gallery. There is a dynamic range of audio
considering each Kinetic has different motors and parts creating
sound. Using a filter and EQ to remove the noise, and with no added
special effects it was engineered with pure sound in mind. A New
Media: Low-Tech work, Soundtrack for Kinetics, is 21 (digital) tracks
of analog soundscapes from the Kinetics environment.

A special thanks to Georgio Magnanensi for engineering the Soundtrack
for Kinetics recordings.

Jeremy Isao Speier is a Japanese-Canadian Vancouver-based
interdisciplinary artist who graduated from Emily Carr College of Art
& Design in 1992. He works in film/video, kinetic sculpture and sound,
and installation. He has exhibited extensively across Canada in
numerous solo and group exhibitions, and recently in 2011 at Blim Arts
Society and Powell Street Festival, in 2012 at the Firehall Arts
Centre, and upcoming in 2013 at Nikkei National Museum.

I'll have more info for you from Jhave on just what he's going to do, but I 
thought I'd give you a heads up that we'll have David Jhave Johnston at x on 
Sunday July 8 (next Sunday).

Jhave does exceptional work in electronic literature/digital poetry. I 
published some of his work at http://vispo.com/jhave and you can see much 
more of his work at his site http://glia.ca

Jhave has concentrated on net art, mainly. He's a poet-programmer who is 
hella good with Flash and interactive video with Flash.

He recently finished his doctorate at Concordia studying under Jason Lewis. 
Previous to that, he did a Masters at SFU in SIAT.

He lives in Montreal. He's in Vancouver for a visit cuz his partner Sophie 
has a visual art show in Richmond now.
