The opening night on Thursday will exhibit two audio-visual installations in the Zoo. During the following days you can discover the work of many VJs and DJs in a livelier environment.

  • SCREAM Media Screens As a Medium for Communication
    SCREAM Media Screens as a Medium for Communication Framework for the implementation of urban big screens in the public space January 2009 SCREAM team: ava fatah gen. schieck/ UCL Bartlett ghislaine boddington/body>data>space peter fink/Art2Architectur 1 CONTENT 1. INTRODUCTION 2. BACKGROUND AND AIMS 3. THE EVENTS 4. OUTPUT 5. CASE STUDY 6. CONCLUSION 7. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 8. APPENDIX APPENDIX 1 APPENDIX 2 2 1. INTRODUCTION In the last decade, big urban screens have appeared in town squares and on building facades across the UK. Dynamic moving images form new architectural material, affecting our perception and the experience of the space around us. A new form of urban space is emerging that is fundamentally different from what we have known, and it seems that we are ill-equipped to deal with and analyse it. The use of these screens brings new potential and challenges for city regulators, artists, architects, urban designers, producers, broadcasters and advertisers. Most screens at present serve mainly commercial purposes, they do not broadcast information aimed at sharing community content nor do they support public social interactions. The SCREAM project addresses these new challenges by looking at the physical urban spaces and the potential spaces created by the new technologies. We are just beginning to understand the opportunities for public information, art and community engagement. We need to see more negotiation between commercial, public and cultural interests. 2. BACKGROUND AND AIMS The project aims at influencing developments related to the sustainable implementation of urban media screens in the UK by looking at issues related to the urban screens from a multitude of perspectives.

  • A Look Into the Development and Presence of Early Video Game Music in Popular Culture
    Wesleyan University The Honors College 8-Bit Heroes: A Look into the Development and Presence of Early Video Game Music in Popular Culture by Anthony Martello Class of 2010 A thesis (or essay) submitted to the faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Departmental Honors in Music Middletown, Connecticut April, 2010 2 8-Bit Heroes: A Look into the Development and Presence of Early Video Game Music in Popular Culture Introduction Video games are more popular than ever. Youth spend their days with their eyes glued to the video screen spending countless hours gaining unimaginable power and prowess in simulated worlds. Video games are often written off as just another example of simple popular culture. But as many other art forms possessed similar conceptions in their beginnings, video games may one day be considered a new serious art medium. Though there are many key aspects to the popularity of video games, most of them at base level are visual by nature. However, when it comes to relating a character or environment in a virtual world to a person in the real world, audio is a key component in empathizing with the gamer. The different sound effects in a game and the background music to each setting present the simulated world in a more defined environment that the player can relate to. For example, dark ominous music can represent impending danger, while upbeat cheery music allows the gamer to relax in safety. Not only does music give these video game worlds a sound environment, but it also creates a sense of feeling and emotion within the gamer.

  • Lauren Flood Dissertation
    Building and Becoming: DIY Music Technology in New York and Berlin Lauren Flood Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Lauren Flood All rights reserved Abstract Building and Becoming: DIY Music Technology in New York and Berlin Lauren Flood This dissertation addresses the convergence of ethics, labor, aesthetics, cultural citizenship, and the circulation of knowledge among experimental electronic instrument builders in New York City and Berlin. This loosely connected group of musician- inventors engages in what I call “DIY music technology” due to their shared do-it- yourself ethos and their use of emerging and repurposed technologies, which allow for new understandings of musical invention. My ethnography follows a constellation of self- described hackers, “makers,” sound and noise artists, circuit benders, avant- garde/experimental musicians, and underground rock bands through these two cities, exploring how they push the limits of what “music” and “instruments” can encompass, while forming local, transnational, and virtual networks based on shared interests in electronics tinkering and independent sound production. This fieldwork is supplemented with inquiries into the construction of “DIY” as a category of invention, labor, and citizenship, through which I trace the term’s creative and commercial tensions from the emergence of hobbyism as a form of productive leisure to the prevailing discourse of punk rock to its adoption by the recent Maker Movement. I argue that the cultivation of the self as a “productive” cultural citizen—which I liken to a state of “permanent prototyping”—is central to my interlocutors’ activities, through which sound, self, and instrument are continually remade.
