HTMlles @ CITY OF WOMEN
10th International Festival of Contemporary Arts
PAST TRANSITION - WELCOME TO THE FUTURE?
Ljubljana, Slovenia > 01. - 07.10.04
http://www.cityofwomen-a.si/2004/e_intro.htmIn 2004, the year of
Slovenia's accession to the European Union the annual International
Festival of Contemporary Arts CITY OF WOMEN will present its 10th
anniversary edition - Past Transition - Welcome to the Future?
04.10.04 > The Future of Cultural Work - and (feminist)
cultural practice
> lectures and round table discussion
Current debate in economic and political theory points to the model
function of the cultural sector for the neo-liberal globalised economy:
creative, mobile, flexible, precarious individuals, and project
based, fluid forms of production and organisation. How do we as
(women) artists, producers and organisers, continue to produce in
creative and flexible conditions without advocating the neo-liberal
system? What are the best strategies for promoting and enabling
a diversity of non-mainstream artistic expression in an increasingly
commercialised cultural environment? How do we see the future of
work, and critical, feminist cultural practices? With practitioners
from Albania, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Slovenia, UK…

Art Residency/Programming for the Art's Birthday 2005: ART NETWORK,
ARCHITECTURE AND VIRTUAL CITIES
Studio XX is offering artists a unique opportunity
to experiment and create new works in a dynamic, open, and stimulating
environment. In the course of next November, December, and January,
Studio XX will invite an artist to realize an art network project
involving programming at their new laboratory Open Source. This
residency not only falls within the framework of this year’s
annual theme of science fiction (or, the invention of space-time),
but will also be developed with the idea of exhibiting it as part
of the Art's Birthday Art Network event, which finishes on 17 January
2005.
New deadline for submissions: Friday, 24 September
2004
Residency Dates: next November, December and January

Acoustic Space – MAX Workshop
Studio XX is looking for audio projects to be developed
within the framework of a professional development workshop aimed
at female media artists.
MAX is a useful if not essential tool for interdisciplinary and
tech artists alike.
The general objective of the training is to give ten female artists
(5 beginners and 5 advanced) the opportunity to develop everything
from the technical language to mastering basic tools by creating
a multimedia project using MAX software.
MAX is an extremely user-friendly programming environment that
enables users to conceive their own computer programmes in order
to carry out specific tasks. Instead of using text language (such
as C++ or BASIC), objects and functions are represented by a graphical
interface.
Patrice Coulombe, instructor and electro acoustic
composer , will systematically teach how to use MAX software,
basic technical notions necessary for understanding sound, as
well as answer questions, on formatting or composition for example,
which may arise as participants use the software. The artists
will have access to free time in the laboratory to develop their
own creations. At the end of the workshop, the artists will be
able to master the necessary tools to fully develop the acoustic
components of their work.
Studio XX will circulate the resulting creations within the framework
of a salon
Femmes br@nchées.
Project Schedule
_ Number of participants: 10 artists. Two groups of five media
artists (web, video or installation): one beginners/intermediate
(based on sound experience) and one intermediate/advanced
group (based on sound experience)
_ Total tuition time: 48 hours per group
_ 12 weeks’ training (4 hours per week) and access to Studio
XX production facilities
Beginnners class
_ Start mid-October 2004 through to December 2004
_ 15 January 2005: Presentation of work at a Femmes Branchees
_ Advanced class
_ Start mid-January 2005 through to March 2004
Media artists interested in this workshop should
send:
_ Name, postal address, telephone number and e-mail
_ CV
_ Detailed project description
_ Example of work
Deadline for receipt of portfolios (beginnners):
24 September 2004
Deadline for receipt of portfolios (advanced): 18 December 2004

wavelengths, sound waves.
Digital Sound:
Digital conversion, bits, sampling rate frequencies. Digital support
and transfer.

as well as management-related problems: lists, databases, masters,
pro-sets. Other elements of audio processing, such as FFT, granular
synthesis, pitch tracking, user interface and ergonomics will
also be taught. Personal assistance appropriate to each individual
project will also be provided.
