Congratulations to our new residents!
Since our call for submissions for the 2007-2008 Studio XX residency, we have received many very interesting project proposals. It was the originality of Magali Babin, Constanza Camelo Suarez and Alejandra Pérez Núñez's project ideas that enticed us. Congratulations!
A few words about the projects:
Alejandra Pérez Núñez (Barcelona - Chili) Sound artist and activist
Autumn 07
Alejandra's practice is based on radio performance, which integrates radio transmission and recycled radioweb content. She is also proficient with DIY and pure Data. Her residency will culminate in a performance at the HTMlles Festival in October.
Magali Babin (Montreal) Sound artist
Autumn 07
Project: Onion Routers II
Magali will experiment with new ways of generating sound and manipulating it live. She will also bring video into her parctice. For this research, she will be using TOR (The Onion Router), "a system enabling its users to communicate anonymously on the Internet" (Wikipedia), and the software PureData.
Constanza Camelo Suarez (Montreal - Colombia) Performance artist
Spring 08
Project: To dilate or to contract the universe
Constanza's project involves peformative experimentation around the notion of territorial orientation.
HTMlles Festival #8 : Crowd Control
Festival for Media Art and Networked Practices
17-21 October 2007
This summer, the HTMlles Festival team invites you to keep up on the festival's developments as posted on our website: www.htmlles.net.
In the coming months we will post online our requests for volunteers and the upcoming technical workshop opportunities. We will also announce the 2007 presenting artists and the festival events schedule.
We look forward to launching another exciting programme of performance, installation, screenings, web-based collaborations, conferences and panel discussions surrounding the eigth biannual festival theme:
'Occurrences of inclusions and exclusions can be observed when tracking a migrating person, object or concept through time and theory, as well as space. The ability (or inability) to migrate is an invisible measure for the capacity to move. Who/what is able to move? What information is kept and what is left out? What is transferable and what is not? What are possible options for controlling the inclusions and exclusions?'
