CURRENTS : Past / Present / FutureCURRENTS was established in 2002, when Parallel Studios ini-tiated a series of exhibitions showcasing New Mexico’s abun-dance of world class New Media artists. In 2010 a partnership with El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe allowed CURRENTS to mature into an international, annual New Media Festival. The main exhibition transformed El Museo’s expansive, flexible space into a magical world of light, sound and image. Partner-ships developed between Parallel Studios and organizations and venues throughout Santa Fe and CURRENTS became a citywide event.

In 2011, Parallel Studios was designated a Federal nonprofit, permitting it to develop a strong, and growing funding base. Its 501(c)(3) status has supported its mission to provide free access to the vibrant and ever changing world of New Media Arts that can be found at all Festival events.

We are committed to artists and the broader community they serve. In 2013, over a hundred national and international artists, performers, developers, programmers and presenters are taking part in the Festival. Parallel Studios is bringing twenty-three artists to Santa Fe to install their work alongside twenty New Mexican New Media artists. Exhibits, panel discussions and workshops, providing art/technology resources to the public, exemplify a new, 21st Century, open source approach to exhibi-tion and the sharing of ideas and expertise.

Partnerships with local arts organizations, schools, galler-ies and businesses have fostered the Festival’s growth. As it becomes a destination event, attracting out of town visitors, CURRENTS takes its place on the list of Santa Fe’s, and New Mexico’s, summer highlights and becomes a piece in the puzzle of the state’s economic health.

Frank Ragano and Mariannah Amster Co-Executive/Artistic Directors and Founders Parallel StudiosSanta Fe, New Mexico

The Festival is free and open to all. Visit as often as you like, and – as long as the doors are open – stay as long as you like. Your interest, enthusiasm and support make the Festival possible.

Bonnie LaneMake Believe, 2012Melbourne, Australia

Through a kaleidoscopic lens the images of Make Believe, morph between the distinguishable dancing limbs of a young girl and an abstraction of patterns formed from the little girl’s costume. The video explores the subjected roles of childhood and adulthood and the tumultuous transition between the two. Masked within a bot-tomless black void the haunting video explores human aloneness, the absurdity of adult existence, and the inability to reconnect with the innocence of childhood.

Anne FarrellPlayground, 2013

New Mexico, USA

The table is a sand table, playground, fort, prison, microcosm of the outer world and inner psyche. The construction format plays with the dichotomies of fake/real, inner/outer, playground/prison, and creativity/introspection while also making affable commentary on our constructed consumer culture. But really, I’m not here to explain it: I’m here to do it. (Fabrication assistance: Patrick Simpson)

Adriana & Jason ArgyropoulosSlow Space, 2012New Mexico, USA

This project utilizes the medium of video to emphasize temporal experience within space.The project was shot entirely on the Red Epic camera using built sets that consist of a combination of hard materials and projected light. The edited sequence is then projected onto a custom-made, rear projection, hemisphere screen providing an immersive and intimate viewing environment.

César MeneghettiI/o Project, 2010~ongoingSao Paolo, Brazil / Rome, Italy

Cesar Meneghetti works with the Community of Santo Egidio in Rome, as part of an ongoing program in which artists work with physi-cally and mentally disabled people. While there are of course a num-ber of questions raised regarding the appropriateness of art projects carried out with and amongst disadvantaged people, one outcome is that the tools of the artist, which enable self-exploration and empower-ment, are made available to all.

Charles VeaseyHuman Heart, 2013

New Mexico, USA

The heart is not only a vital organ, but also carries strong symbol-ism within our culture. It’s connected to life, emotion, intuition and strength. This piece allows the viewer to look into the pulmonary artery. The piece explores the spiritual and physical perceptions of the heart. Characteristics such as a heart of gold, cold hearted, or broken hearted, along with the physical anatomy of the heart are represented.

Chas CurtisTurning Thought Sculpture, 2012

New Mexico, USA

My fascination with light developed while I was an undergraduate in electrical engineering. I was amazed by its beauty, by what we could explain and what was still inexplicable. In Turning Thought I’ve combined my interest in optics with my background in electrical engineering, material balance and sculptural aesthetics to create some-thing entirely new, yet reflective of my original fascination with light.

David stout & Cory MetcalfMelt, 2013Texas, USA

A world in flux: Formal abstraction exists as a state of continuous upheaval; a vista of rifts, eroding plains, crags and caverns flows from a generative system oscillating between moments of frozen stasis and swiftly accelerating change; glacial retreat gives way to unpredict-able climactic events. A multi-sensory clock, marking heraldic events and provides a speculative glimpse into deep time.

Emily MartinezAntiApocalypse, 2012

California, USA

AntiApocalypse creates an immersive digital cinema in which the mindbody of the spectator bares the task of enacting “worlds” as mediated by an EEG brain/computer interface, custom software, and a digital video database. The viewer navigates a labyrinth of multiple, discontinuous, collective memories, exploring the disorienting and transformative liminal spaces between these virtual records, their material manifestations and psychic traces.

Javier VillegasAnt Theater, 2012

California, USA / Bogota, Columbia

Ant Theater is a real time installation that invites the spectator to reflect on how many small efforts are behind the construction of the image that we have of ourselves. How many people fabricate our commodities? Do we see them as individuals or just as part of the gear? Ant colonies show us how, from a small set of local rules applied by independent individuals complexity can emerge.

Jonathan BraininPendulum Video, 2012

New Jersey, USA

Pendulum Video is a video–centric response to Steve Reich’s Pendulum Music (1968) and is influenced by the video installations of Nam June Paik. In Pendulum Video, a television attached to the end of a pendu-lum arm is set in motion. The television displays video feedback images, which evolve nearly imperceptibly as the energy of the pendulum arm dissipates; creating a hypnotic effect that induces a meditative state.

Flame schonDissolve My Tongue, 2013

New Mexico, USA

Dissolve My Tongue melds a kaleidoscopic vision of natural environ-ments into a new visual landscape that empties expectation and defies common narrative. The video allows the viewer to flow easily through unfamiliar portals, the soundtrack providing an aural ferry-man, guiding the viewer on into ever deeper waters.

Ethan Bach, J. Craig tompkins & Charles VeaseyThe Royal Road Project, 2012

New Mexico, USA

The Royal Road Project is an interactive digital installation that journeys through one of the most significant trails in early North American history, the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro. This installation creates visceral temporal shifts as one travels the length of the trial through landscapes comprised of panoramic images, video, and audio.

Joyce Rudinsky & Victoria SzaboPsychasthenia 2, 2013

North Carolina, USA

Psychasthenia 2 is an interactive artwork that explores the culture of psychological diagnosis and treatment within the context of a highly mediated consumer culture that often produces the ills it purports to treat. Through a single-user video game environment, the psycho-logical “patient,” / user, learns to cope with a psychological disorder, “psychasthenia”. The project re-imagines the game environment as a space for new kinds of interaction and critical reflection.

Kayla AndersonArtifact | Artifice, 2012

Texas/Illinois, USA

Artifact | Artifice (The Repository) addresses notions of ‘artifact-ness’ and complex systems of value. Between 2010 and 2012, the Chicago Public Library system withdrew books about cultures that immi-grated to America as well as books about Native American cultures and archeological studies of Illinois. The imagery of this installa-tion comes from one of these books – one that wishes to inform but simultaneously fetishizes a culture through its artifacts.

Karen niemczykTHE EVOLUTION OF SELF, 2011

North Carolina, USA

SELF, a three dimensional helix made from copper wire, floats in open space, emphasizing its exposure and vulnerability to the world around it. Fiber optics intertwine with the LED structures and pulse in response to low ultrasonic heartbeat sounds. In the open structure are 512 white LEDs that interact with the viewers around the work, triggering sequences of light movement (based on a modification of Conway’s Game of Life).

Kendra FleischmanStory Teller, 2012

Colorado, USA

Inspired by Native American storyteller dolls, this video sculpture features a robot-like “elder”, sharing a story about the past. The “children” are pushing the elder along to share the story with others. The video explores the history of the west, specifically Colorado and New Mexico. Some of the images are kitschy, some are poignant. The scenes are a collection of video filmed by the artist in Colorado and New Mexico, combined with vintage film from the artist’s family home movies and archival footage from Prelinger Archives.

In River, I am working with a combination of video and natural materials (rocks, leaves, sticks, water) to evoke an experience of looking into a small stream. The combination of new and old media works together to create more meaning than either media could independently.

Max almy & teri YarbrowPortal 2: Lapis, 2013

New Mexico, USA

Portal 2: Lapis explores a vision of ecstatic multiplicity that glows through an elaborately cut opening in a harsh metal surface. The metaphor of light pushing through darkness is enhanced with bril-liant LCD imagery and projected animations radiating out from the center of a digitally water jet cut and patinated steel circle. Using natural images, complex patterns and algorithmic animations, we are working with imagery that ranges from ancient art to the super-symmetry of the latest scientific discoveries.

Marion Wasserman & louis lerayVideo Dream Tent X2, 2013

New Mexico, USA

A tent with a dual projection where viewers are able to relax into a more intimate experience. It is a place of rest where reality blurs with the projected image. Viewers become unguarded as the images con-jure lucid memory and abstract reality. Nature is magnified and time elongated; an urban camping into an interior psyche. Juxtaposed dreams time lapse nature’s breath.

Madelin CoitTesuque: Waveform, 2013

New Mexico, USA

Tesuque: Day and Night referenced passage of time through cyclic modulation of light, with sounds that reflected the unique tone and rhythm of the garden where it was shot. Tesuque: Waveform is the reduction to waveform of the sounds native to that garden. Sound, echo-location are decisive.

Miles Telos Toland (Music by Amon Tobin)The Alchemist, 2011

Washington, USA

Miles Toland has developed a unique hybridized art form by project-ing animations directly on top of his mixed media paintings. The work exists both as static painting and the ephemeral new media experience in which each state of being informs the other in a poetic tug of war.

Paula Gaetano-AdiDesiring-Machine I, 2010

Texas, USA / San Juan, Argentina

I have created a simple machine to transport milk. There I am: trying to hold milk with my dress. I try to hold as much milk as I can; then I go pour the milk back to its origin. Why perform a “futile” task over and over again? Perhaps I am developing a revolution based on middles – the moments in between, the unpredictable interstices of process, movement, and inventions.

Myriam TappLa Mancha II, 2012

Montréal, QC. Canada / New Mexico, USA

La Mancha II is part of a series of work that explores transformation of internal and external territory: it investigates the impermanence and changes that occur through time. The surface of the sculpture is transformed with projected moving images, bringing to mind memories. The architecture construction and its shadow become a reflexion for the viewer’s own history.

Firewall is an interactive installation developed using a stretched sheet of spandex as a performance membrane. When pushed it creates fire-like visuals and expressively plays music. The further you press into the membrane the faster and more intense the piano music becomes or the higher pitched the sound. Depth information is captured using a Kinect, visuals are created with Processing and sounds using MAX/MSP.

An experiment in parabolic acoustic reflection, ultrasonic directional audio and automated LED lighting systems, Wave Field is an immersive interactive sound and light environment. Using tuned acoustic reflec-tors, ribbon speakers and sound sensitive light controllers, the space contained within Wave Field becomes a multidimensional sound and light chamber filled with modified field recordings and shifting ambi-ent light the can be altered by movement.

susanna Carlisle & Bruce HamiltonUntitled, 2013

New Mexico, USA

Our work combines video, sculpture, and environmental concerns. By bringing the moving image into a three dimensional environment made of fragile materials, we hope to suggest the vulnerability and destruction of the natural world and built environment, displace-ment of people, plants, and animals brought about by climate change, natural disasters, and man’s poisoning of the environment.

Robert CampbellInterval Two, 2013

Washington,USA

This 3-channel video triptych is an extension of an ongoing series titled The Bardo Series. Bardo is a Tibetan term referring to transi-tional or liminal states of being. I am using the term loosely in my work to describe the feeling of the mysterious, empty landscapes and also the techniques through which the images, made from photographs of accidental outcomes, emerge.

Red Cell / the Product DivisionAnti-Video, 2012New Mexico, USA

In our rapidly evolving digital lives, we’ve become expectant of instant gratification with instant uploads, view-on-demand and everything worldwide in real time. Anti-Video physicalizes the participant’s virtual “self” in a way that accentuates the duality and isolation experienced with our virtual online personas. Anti-Video is a study in non-gratification, control, virtual reality and duality.

SCUBAMelting Point, 2013

New Mexico, USA

Melting Point explores our perception of melting ice using digital projection on hanging columns of porcelain discs. The porcelain discs depict drawings of snowflakes in different states of change. The projection casts spotlights that cascade down each column at differ-ent times and speeds. Melting Point engages the viewers to perceive the drawings on the porcelain as melting snow, emphasizing the act of observing ice melt as a feat of concentration.

Vera KluteThe Grand Scheme, 2013

Dublin, Ireland

This animation takes inspiration from Renaissance frescos depict-ing the world as divided into the underworld, the world we live in and the heavens above. While quoting from the composition and structure of the old masters it is a modern attempt to define our place and function in the world. The work plays on a subjective perception taking emotional rather than rational angles, while coming to terms with an existentialist viewpoint.

My work gives form to our complex relationship to the natural world. I am drawn to the zones where nature and culture collide. Whether I raise the animals I work with or work in the field, I am inspired by what my subjects naturally do and I work with their behavior to create my artwork.

Cheri ibes & Kerry loewenThe Survey, 2012New Mexico, USA

The Survey is a collaborative multimedia presentation between Kerry Loewen and Cheri Ibes. It continues Ibes’ exploration of the rela-tionship between humans and the natural environment, aligning discordant elements - two tracks of dialog, fragments from Henry David Thoreau’s Walden, and fragments of news from recent envi-ronmental disasters, alongside a video that whimsically transplants Thoreau, in his capacity as a land surveyor, from the 1850’s into the present day.

anabela CostaLandscape, 2012

Paris, France

Landscape is about what can be seen, not in physical terms but as an outward expression of human perception. A landscape is a cultural image, a pictorial way of representing, structuring or symbolising surroundings, so it will always be a personnal take of an area of land, of human elements, buildings or structures with a cultural and aesthetic dimension.

Diego RamirezPolly, Jennifer and Melissa, 2011

Melbourne, Vic. Australia

Mixing sci-fi, queer and horror genres, Polly, Jennifer and Melissa is a provocative, performance-based video challenging gender roles and identity politics. An androgyne named Polly recalls an episode of post-coital anxiety. Jennifer confesses to a disquieting priest, and Melissa poses flirtatiously for the viewer.

Jean Paul GomezLabor, 2012

New York, USA

My work references our physical and social living conditions. These have produced an array of contradictions that I employ to create spaces between the two, ranging from the poetic to the political. I allude to domestic environments in opposition to public spaces as markers of transience and displacement. My work records traces of migration and human gestures based on my own transitional living patterns, and my understanding of our collective memory.

Düsseldorf, Germany

Amimaux Découpages is a spinoff from a documentary I’ve been work-ing on regarding a small rural community located near Lyon, France. While photographing the farms there, I was constantly struck by what I felt were the strong personalities of the animals I encoun-tered. This video is in a small way an expression of my admiration for our fellow Earthlings.

Jenn BergerThe Split, 2012California, USA

My work utilizes video, performance, and photography to unsettle the boundary between humans and animals, the living and dead, and the animate and inanimate. I aim to destabilize a coherent sense of self that appears to be independent of the world in which it exists. In my video performances I draw with my body, attempting to inhabit the being of another and demonstrate the tenuousness of the line between self and other.

Jacob tonskiDifferent People, Same Dream, 2013

Ohio, USA

A self-adjusting platform makes everyone the same height, probing ideas of equality and power. A larger-than-life top wobbles through themes of pleasure, danger, youth and decay. A sofa teeters on one leg, musing on the instability of social structures. Time and gravity serve as foils for things we are powerless to direct and with which we must instead negotiate.

Limassol, Cyprus

An exploration of my city (Limassol). Cities, and especially the places that we grow up in, are the urban fabric that shape a large portion of our everyday reality. Certain city spots (like the Limassol sea front) can become imprinted in a persons mind much like distinctive fa-mous paintings. I’ve chosen one of these spots and framed it in a way that becomes my own interpretation of this view of the city.

Miles toland & tyler CorayReframed, 2011Washington, USA

Reframed is a street art project using picture frames and information tags to create a beautiful but overlooked urban landscape. Toland and Coray choose compositions that recall the aesthetic qualities of academically accepted modern painters. Prior to being framed, these compositions appear to be created subconsciously, even acciden-tally. The icon of the frame has been appropriated from galleries and recontextualized in the streets. This transference of power offers a democratic approach to art.

Timothy WeaverArthropodaChordataConiferophyta, 2013

Colorado, USA

This is a work of afterlife cinema that reanimates the residues and records of lost ecological memory. The work follows the intertwined cycles of life to the afterlife through cinema as sensorial access to complex biological, ecological residues. It explores the re-animation of digital residues of lost and endangered life forms. Audience engagement yields a vision of the complex imagined distance when ecological memory becomes lost to the circumstance of extinction.

I approach the subject of the sublime using topographical computer rendered abstraction. My imagery references cosmic and biomorphic forms simultaneously. I use 3-D animation as mathematical research to explore the infinite. My work references historical concepts of the sublime but in terms of a confrontation with the grandness of an abstract technological interpretation of nature. It is a place beyond regional and cultural boundaries.

Bernd LüetzelerThe Voice of God, 2011

Germany / India

If God came to earth to earn a living, he would probably become a successful voice-over artiste, lending his voice to thousands of Hindi movies and films. The Voice of God uses stop-motion and time expo-sure, and features Harish Bhimani, well-known to the Indian public as narrator of the epic Mahabharat. No digital technology was involved in the final print.

Denis côtéBestiaire, 2012

Montreal, Canada

A mesmerizing meditation on the relationship between man and beast, Bestiaire starts with a group of art students attempting to sketch an animal. The film blurs the line between observer and observed, with dramatic tension pervading every carefully-framed shot: the sight of a lion attacking the doors of its cage or the scurrying striped legs of zebras in a holding pen. It is contemplative and enthralling.

Dan currierThis Old Man, 2011Washington DC, USA

Between 1933 and 1977, North Carolina sterilized 7,600 residents under state law. Dr. Clarence Gamble, heir to the Proctor and Gamble fortune, wrote this poem about 1947 and submitted it to the state Mental Hygiene Society, hoping it would attract support for the program. He was surprised when the society declined to use it. North Carolina’s eugenics program ended in 1977.

alexander KaluzhskyThe Visitors, 2013

New York, USA

The Visitors, a collaboration between a filmmaker and a painter who have very similar familial histories, explores the nature of the young artist’s work. At the same time, through the filmmaking process, it establishes communication on an extremely intimate, personal level with the people we should know best, but most of the time know least of all – our families.

Victor ArroyoParc Mont-Royal, 2013

Montreal, Canada

This piece comments on how the technology of cinema has modi-fied not only our notions about the gaze, but also the gaze in itself. Parc Mont-Royal is not ever finished – it needs the interpretation of the observer. As we intersect with this video piece in a specific historical moment, it provides a point of purchase on the human experience of the gaze.

Rodrigo ValenzuelaDiamond Box, 2012

Washington, USA

Diamond Box took me back to parking lots and loading zones where I had worked when I lived undocumented in the U.S. I met laborers, hired and interviewed them, seeking common ground through shared experiences and recording subtle details in mannerisms and movements. The final work, stripped of sound, no longer narrative, becomes a series penetrating portraits, lacking context, showing mutual vulnerability.

Filipe Rodrigues AfonsoTelevisão, 2012Lisbon, Portugal

Seeing television through a window suggests contact between internal and external, on-screen (actors) and off-screen (watchers). Walking in the oldest neighborhoods of Lisbon on warm nights, when people leave windows open, let me see what people were watching and imagine who was living there. The closer I got inside the houses, the more I wanted to know, and the less I knew.

Benjamin PoynterIn a Permanent Save State

Nevada, USA

This is a fantasy game about real events. Seven migrant laborers die by their own hand while building iDevices. The interconnected story sheds perspective on the Western spectacle vs. the Eastern dream. There is an effort to deconstruct the idea of where the games we cherish come from and to deconstruct the video game form itself.Those who assemble the dreams of this world now have their own at devastating cost.

Delaware, USA

The Collections project is formed by social and culturally based research, and video documentation. Media supports the presentation of the collections content and allows public accessibility. The subject matter is a specific activity, an object, or the human body.My art practice deals with the social interactions between people and objects, and documents the function of the interaction instead of put-ting the focus on the object.

Virginia, USA

Popular videos are infiltrated with unwelcome transmissions from the world of weapons and war. Remixed videos are presented in a web gallery of disquieting juxtapositions. Infiltration explores the tension between meaning and distraction, entertainment and justice, signal and noise. Infiltration is part of The Cluster Project, a web-based project exploring the social, historical, financial, and technological anatomy of cluster bombs, and the issue of war in modern society.

Playing on the word bagatelle (meaning an inconsequential thing), Baguette Hell investigates the virtual and tactile, intimate and global relationships emerging from ‘app culture’. Baguette Hell offers a series of interactive iPad and iPhone apps featuring images of its namesake, French bread. Reminiscent of Dadaist exercises, the apps often seem impractical and playful, revealing the obsessive and tactile nature of the ‘app space’.

Don Tapscott discussing the role of technology in modern society once said “You can’t hide anything in the digital world”. So here it is - all that’s inside my computer. The backgrounds of the images are composed of colored blocks representing all the files on my hard drive. Each rectangle is proportional to the file’s size. This visual feat is made possible by a small utility developed by the artist and software engineer Erwin Bonsma.

Rick SilvaEn Plein AirOregon, USA

Taking a laptop into the wild and creating animations and images in response to the surrounding terrain and elements, En Plein Air is in the tradition of the impressionists and is a logical endeavor consider-ing the artist’s marriage of natural and technological material and imagery in his practice. We are offered a prolific output of images of-fering an artist’s perspective as communicated through the manipu-lation of software.

www.youareme.net, explores what happens when open sourcing is applied to identity. In relinquishing control over my online persona I have given up my identity to be manipulated, created, and even destroyed. How do social technologies shape how we present our-selves? If we create ourselves through technology and if that process is open to public discourse, who am I? The answer to that lies in your hands. BE ME.

Bart Woodstrup & Curtis BahnUnder Saraswati River, 2006/2012

Illinois, USA

Saraswati is the Hindu goddess named for a river that once flowed in northern India. She is often depicted holding symbols of knowledge, meditation, purity and perfection in the arts and sciences. Under Saraswati River (in which the audience is literally under the river) explores interactions between individual artists and culture, and between music and the visual arts.

Helsinki, Finland

In Finland seeing the northern lights implies a long trek in freezing conditions to a place away from people and light pollution. Every-day activities become meaningful during days awaiting the lights: getting firewood and water, eating and staying warm. Kilpisjärvellä recreates the actual experience of seeing the aurora borealis, in the context of new narrative tools that the planetarium format provides.

California, USA

Migrations touches on many forms of migration – spatial/physical movements, the journey from life to death, the migration of the spirit in its quest for liberation and transformation – all amid the many wonders of our world. A journey, not always linear, sometimes circular, is embraced by the domed environment, which also helps create the sensation of flight, a prominent feature of this piece.

Singapore

Composite footage of the artist’s family, busy with their daily activities, explores themes of alienation and change, questioning absorption in daily routines as a means of avoiding the present and addressing the inevitability of change and its impact on social interaction. The familiar setting of home pulls the viewer into the whimsical and surreal nature of an imaginary world.

Jake SniderTunnels, 2013

New Mexico, USA

Often space is considered an empty void, defined by a lack of structure. Tunnels defines space using light itself as the structure. A hollow shape projected through fog becomes a three dimensional space with opaque light-walls, and as its form is manipulated, so too is the space, and with it one’s mood and perception of the otherwise empty room.

Workshops

Workshop 1: Rapid Development of Visual Performance Tools Saturday, June 15th, 2-4pm Warehouse 21 (Santa Fe Railyard District)

Using Max and Jitter and a set of subroutines called Vizzie we show people how to quickly prototype video-based performance systems. It’s more than a beginner Max class - we also talk about when to push into more advanced work, and how to interface with the system in performance mode. Participants need only bring a laptop, preferably one with a built in web camera. No previous Max programming experience is required to achieve success in this workshop.

Presented by Darwin Grosse and Andrew Pask from Cycling‘74www.kaleidacousticon.com, www.darwingrosse.blogspot.comwww.cycling74.com

Workshop 2: Exploring the Analog Model Sunday, June 16th, 2-4pm Warehouse 21 (Santa Fe Railyard District)

In this workshop we show people how analog modular synthesizers work through the use of a set of open sourced Max modules called BEAP. Using the software as a parallel to the hardware, we’ll show how high-level modular systems (of either type) can be used to make idiosyncratic and complex systems through experimentation and hands on exploration. Participants need only bring a laptop and a pair of headphones. No previous Max programming experience is required to achieve success in this workshop.

César Meneghetti: Discusses his work I/O Saturday June 15th at 1pm Zane Bennett Contemporary Arts www.cesarmeneghetti.net

I /O is a multidisciplinary work aiming to investigate the border between normality and disability. In 2010 Cesar Meneghetti started meeting a group of people with mental and physical disabilities who worked at the 9 Experimental Art Laboratories of the Com-munity of Sant’Egidio in the suburbs of Rome. Until then, they had been producing their work using traditional techniques such as painting, sculpture, and drawing. One of his goals was to introduce digital media into their artistic process. Since the first meeting, the formal boundaries of “normality” were continually being moved, transforming everyone, involved in the process, including Cesar.

Art and the legacy of Artificial life :The synthetic embrace of bio-media, embodied form, hybrid systems and evolutionary networks Free – Friday June 21st at 6pm Zane Bennett Contemporary Arts

As an art form, A-Life can be seen as a subset of diverse new media practices with a long history extending from the figurative automa-tons of the Swiss clockmakers through the pioneering systems of 1960’s and 70’s video art. The panelists will reflect on this history, providing a rich illustration of contemporary forms and discuss the emerging areas of scholarship, exhibition and theory guiding the next wave of interdisciplinary experimentation.

The term, Artificial Life (A-Life) was first presented during workshop proceedings at Los Alamos National Labs in New Mexico (1987) by physicist, Christopher Langton. A-Life systems include computation-al simulations, hardware or robotic manifestations and the possibili-ties for “wet” biochemical constructs. Utilized as a scientific means to pursue greater knowledge of living systems, complex network behavior and the implementation of new possibilities for semi-au-tonomous machine learning, A-Life also presented an emerging field for artistic exploration.
