iPod + iTunes = er, ... iPodcast!

"Well, the much anticipated mainstreaming of podcasting has begun in earnest with iTunes 4.9the iPodLounge has a detailed guide to accessing podcasts from within iTunes, but if you're just looking to grab a few podcasts, you won't need it: the process is very easy (or, as Richard Giles suggests, "From a user perspective it?s just magic."). Having downloaded and tried out a few subscriptions, the process of downloading podcasts is greatly streamlined and I can't imagine I'll need to use iPodder or any other podcast-specific downloading software again in the near future."

Vincent van Gogh Gallery

Welcome to The Vincent van Gogh Gallery. For nearly nine years now I've worked hard to ensure that this website remains the most thorough and comprehensive Van Gogh resource on the World Wide Web. To the right is a table detailing the contents of the entire site. I'm proud to say that I have the privilege of displaying 100% of Vincent van Gogh's works and letters--a complete, online catalogue raisonné of Van Gogh's oeuvre.

Friday nights at the Van Gogh museum

Every Friday evening the Van Gogh Museum remains open until 22.00 hours. This extension of the opening hours has been made possible by the museum's promoting partner Rabobank and the City of Amsterdam Department of Economic Affairs. On Friday evenings the museum organises a special programme to supplement its permanent collection and temporary exhibitions. So every Friday evening there is always something new and interesting to experience in the museum.

The masterpieces (2 July to 18 September in the Van Gogh Museum), and in anticipation of Rembrandt Year 2006, Peter Schatborn (former head of the Rijksprentenkabinet) and Sjraar van Heugten (head of Collections at the Van Gogh Museum) talk about the drawing skills of both Dutch artists.

Press Release MILKproject

A Dutch/Latvian locative-media art project wins the Golden Nica award
for interactive art of the Ars Electronica Festival.

Photograph: these days, the MILKproject installation is showing at the
Making Things Public exhibition in ZKM, Zentrum für Kunst und
Medientechnologie, Karlsruhe, Germany. www.zkm.de <#www.zkm.de>

On Monday, 24 May 2005, it was announced that the new media
project MILK has won the Golden Nica award in the category
Œinteractive artš. The award will be granted during the Ars Electronica
festival in Linz, Austria, from 1 to 6 September 2005, where the work
will also be part of the Cyberarts exposition (1-18 September 2005).
The Ars Electronica festival is internationally seen as a reference to the
developments in the field of electronic arts.

The project of the artist Esther Polak and researcher Ieva Auzina
followed a European dairy transportation from the udder of the
(Latvian) cow, to the mouth of the (Dutch) consumer. All people who
played a role in this chain received, for a day, a GPS-device (Global
Positioning System) that registered their movements.

The artists developed a lucid visualization-software for these traces,
and let the participants react upon them in their own kitchens or living
rooms. In the final installation- a homey space with footstools, twilight
lamps, an oversized radio and a projection screen, the onlooker can
join the enjoyment of these visually attractive images and the at times
hilarious comments of the participants. By this the personal life-stories
of these very different Europeans are shown, from the Latvian farmer
to the Dutch open-air market salesman with his clients, who are all
connected by one thing: the milk from a truck of one Latvian milk
collector.

MILKproject demonstrates that contemporary technology can also
realize a special intimacy: one can follow the steps of the farmer who
produces our food on the other side of Europe. Nevertheless,
MILKproject is also a completely new imagery of the globalized
landscape: connected by and cut through usually invisible lines. The
MILKproject shows these lines and opens therewith the possibility to
realize that there hides a landscape behind every product we buy, and
every bite we take, a landscape with its own spatial principals, that is
populated, cultivated and set foot on by its own, special people.

MILKproject, Esther Polak, Ieva Auzina and Rixc, Riga centre for new
media culture.

News and the Net: Convergences and Divergences
A special issue of 'Scan', edited by Chris Atton & Graham Meikle

The study of news has always been central to the study of the media. But
while the rise of the Net has attracted enormous scholarly interest and
has reinvigorated the field, there has not as yet been as much research
on news and the Net as there might be. Some recent research has
emphasised online journalism as a set of professional practices
developed from existing journalistic philosophies and routines, though
often privileging the dialogical nature of the medium to generate news
agendas with media audiences (Deuze and Dimoudi, 2002). Other work
emphasises journalism as a set of deprofessionalised practices that
privilege grassroots 'native reporting' as a distinctive feature of an
'alternative journalism' (Atton, 2003). Such research highlights the
potential of Net use to enable new configurations of news production,
distribution and reception; new modes of authorship and audiencehood;
new kinds of producer and consumer. This special issue of 'Scan' invites
contributions that are able to push forward our thinking about the
modalities of Internet news production and reception. We are
particularly interested in papers that combine theory and practice to
critically explore the claims made for the various manifestations of
these practices.

Who uses online news? What do they use it for? How is credibility
judged? To what extent are relationships changing between reporters and
readers, between news outlets and consumers, in a media environment that
can be customised? How significant are participatory news and discussion
projects such as Indymedia (http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml),
Wikinews (http://en.wikinews.org), OhmyNews
(http://english.ohmynews.com/) or Slashdot (http://slashdot.org/)? What
of news values and news content? What contributions are made to the
discussion of news by online art and satire projects such as Tenbyten
(http://www.tenbyten.org), News Reader
(http://turbulence.org/works/twotxt/nr-index.htm) or The Onion
(http://www.theonion.com)? And what of blogging? The blog may be just
as much the province of the professional journalist as the amateur and,
indeed, the much-vaunted 'independence' of blogs is often curtailed by a
reliance on dominant news agendas and framing mechanisms (Haas, 2005).
Which types or uses of blogging can be usefully approached under the
rubric of 'news'?

STRP festival in 2007

An STRP festival in 2007 as well

The first edition of the art & technology festival STRP was a huge success on all accounts. During 3 days about 10,000 visitors let themselves be awed by an international program of over 100 acts in the areas of Robotics, Interactive Art, Music and Visuals. The (inter)national press also found their way to the monumental Klokgebouw(building) at Strijp-S in large numbers.

The mix of diverse disciplines turned out to be a hit. In the daytime the diverse crowd was amazed by the extensive exhibition and there was a lot of interest in the lectures, movies and Live Cinema performances. The music program created 2 parties that went on deep into the night.

The plans for the 2007 edition are taking shape more and more and we are determined to present an even more exciting program with the best acts from the world of art & technology from Friday May 11 till Sunday May 13.

Subscribe to the STRP mailinglist to stay up to date on the latest developments.

CALL FOR PROJECTS - extended Deadline 10 JULY

The first edition of the STRP festival will take place in Eindhoven(Netherlands) between the 18th and 20th of November 2005.

Its focus is on the commonalities between art, popular culture and technology. As part of the festival there will be performances, exhibits and presentations in a historical space. STRP will take place on the 'holy' ground of the forbidden city of Philips, where in the 20th century numerous technological innovations were made.

A place where Einstein worked at one point and where one of the most ambitious
amalgamations of the arts and technology took place: "Poeme Electronique," a collaboration between the architect LeCorbusier with architect/composer Iannis Xenakis, artist Jean Petit, composer Edgard Varese and filmmaker Phillipe Agostini. Coincidence or not, Dick Raaijmakers also was closely involved in this project. STRP gets its
inspiration from this amalgamation of technology and art.


PROJECT CALL

STRP is looking for projects/installations/proposals that fit under
one of the following themes:

1) Press "Start" : gaming, interactive installations and playful art
works, in which the public can take an active role in the experience
and realization of the work.

2) WE ARE THE ROBOTS : robots, robort art, installations.

David Nash
19 May - 16 July 2005

David Nash is one of Britain’s leading sculptors and is renowned for his skilful and dynamic transformation of fallen or uprooted trees. Annely Juda Fine Art is delighted to present a new exhibition of his sculptures and drawings based on the theme of the Pyramid, Sphere and Cube.



David Nash Wooden Boulder 1978 – present

For the past 25 years Nash has been working on an extraordinary project motivated by his interest in ecology and the environment. In 1978 he rolled a large wooden sphere into a river near his studio in Blaenau Ffestiniog, North Wales. Since then he has documented the boulder’s journey and changing environment until it reached the sea in 2004. Included in this exhibition is Nash’s compelling video and documentation of this living project ‘Wooden Boulder’.

Troll

A troll is basically one who posts messages intended to insult and provoke per fas et nefas

For each person who responds, the poster (the troll as a person) will consider that person "caught". The troll (the troll as an action) is considered to have been a complete success if it disrupts beyond repair the normal traffic on a newsgroup or on a messageboard.

In extreme cases, trolls are posted by groups of trollers and crossposted to unrelated newsgroups in an attempt to destroy those groups by flooding them with flames and off-topic ranting.

about weblogs

weblog history

Weblogs are a new media life-form that is native of our post-web world.
As was defined by a blog pioneer, Jorn Barger, "a weblog (sometimes called a blog or a newspage or a filter) is a webpage where a weblogger (sometimes called a blogger, or a pre-surfer) 'logs' all the other webpages she finds interesting." So in weblogs, experts in every conceivable subject, that express or no opinion, compile news and links on some specific subject.


"These daily diaries of links and reflections on links are the new medium of communication for the technical elite. Replacing the high-cost, high-octane, venture-funded Web site with one that is intensely personal and built around the connectivity between people and ideas, they are creating a new set of synapses for the global brain. It's no accident that weblogs are increasingly turning up as the top hits on search engines, since they trade in the same currency as the best search engines --human intelligence, as reflected in who's already paying attention to what. Weblogs aren't just the next generation of personal home pages, representing a return to text over design and, lightweight content management systems. They are also a platform for experimentation with the way the Web works: collective bookmarking, virtual communities, tools for syndication, referral, and Web services..." >from 'Inventing the Future' by Tim O'Reilly. April 9, 2002

history of weblogs

"The original weblogs were link-driven sites. Each was a mixture in unique proportions of links, commentary, and personal thoughts and essays. Weblogs could only be created by people who already knew how to make a website. A weblog editor had either taught herself to code HTML for fun, or, after working all day creating commercial websites, spent several off-work hours every day surfing the web and posting to her site. These were web enthusiasts.Many current weblogs follow this original style.
