    PureData Convention [21-26 Aug]

The PureData Convention '07 will bring together artists, developers and 
theoreticians who develop, use and reflect on PureData. It will 
acknowledge the broad range of artistic disciplines that make use of the 
software and will address questions of openness and accessibility. It 
will provide a theoretical context for the understanding of media art 
practices that engage in the aesthetics and politics of Free Open Source 
Software Culture.

Studio XX will be hosting some of the PD workshops from the *22nd to the 
24th of August, 2007*. Details to be announced...

    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 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_%28anonymity_network%29>), 
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 
<http://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?'
