Website Maomo: www.maomaland.com About the Workshop
The Birth Of Maoma is a story filled with magic, fantasy and love - it happened in a place called the Land of Many Bridges, when one day we met an old lady who needed our help in breaking an evil spell. After we helped her she gave us the Secrete of the Golden Needle and ever since then, Maoma has been making magical dolls.
Our interest in dolls came to us naturally as well as magically; we were always interested in things, which would help us remain young at heart. So naturally Maoma started to make plush characters and creatures as a means to use our imagination, help people smile and inspire.
Besides always making dolls- Maoma is doing some really nice projects with its friends. Sharing is something really important for us, so when we have the chance to help realize dreams we try to help as much as we can. We did some collaboration with Wayne Horse to realize Big Dolls for the expo “Hair Style 93” in Amsterdam and to realize a costume for Nike at the “Spirit Room” in Berlin during the “Pictoplasma” Conference.
We participated at “Me and my Character” for Platform 21 in Amsterdam, at “Plush week 2” in Los Angeles, at the “Street Art” expo at Pac in Milan and at “Playground festival” in Tilburg.
The aim of the workshop is “to create something from nothing”,
in less than five hour, smiling and playing, you will be able to realize the doll that you always dream!
You will find all the tools to realize it, just bring your self and your imaginary world!

Workshop by Furtherfield.org
SWAMP Splash about in the deluge of information rising up through the grass-roots
12.00 – 15.00 h.
Marc Garrett and Ruth Catlow from Furtherfield.org will demo VisitorsStudio and introduce participants to its (easy-to-use) tool-set and features.
Using your own files (bring jpg, mp3, swf, flv under 200k) or harvesting files from the net, you can work with others to create and distribute mixes and remixes. The day will end with a live online performance by all participants.
Free, booking: malka@nimk.nl
Participants will need: laptops with browser, wireless capability
VisitorsStudio (Furtherfield.org 2003-) is an networked, many to many, real-time art project created and distributed live in real-time across the Internet. Participants link together at the same time and mix and remix audio-visual files. The VisitorsStudio artware is also an always-on, open, social space. As they work together, live conversations between participants (identified by their moving cursor arrows) become a part of the performance- along with comments and heckling from the audience.
Through VisitorsStudio Furtherfield.org explores the ongoing expressive and communicative processes of human beings collaborating in new ways in this context, as active agents in the production of the cultural landscape.
Furtherfield.org utilizes networked media to create, explore, nurture and promote the art that happens when connections are made and knowledge is shared―across the boundaries of established art-world institutions and their markets, community-focused artistic and activist projects and communities of socially-engaged software developers. This is a spectrum that engages from the maverick media-art-makers and small collectives of cross-specialist practitioners, to projects that critique and change dominant hierarchical structures as part of their art process. Furtherfield.org is a London-based artist-led organisation founded in 1996.
The proliferation of commercial but free digital sharing activities associated with Web2.0, subjects the contemporary networked human-being to a deluge of information and expressive culture from all directions, not just from on high (through authorized channels for information, news and culture) but also rising up through vernacular.

As part of the City of Melbourne’s Graffiti Mentoring Project, coordinated through Arts and Culture’s Community Cultural Development program we will be creating a large mural the length of a city laneway. The project has obtained a Street Art Permit, and is therefore a legal artwork, and will be created in informal workshop sessions.
http://beyondthecctv.blogspot.com/
The objective of this exhibition is to extend the work of the City of Melbourne's Graffiti Mentoring Pilot Project, which took place earlier in the year, which invited young people to work with professional mentors, and to investigate, through multi-media, the broad range of what constitutes graffiti in the City of Melbourne, from the legal Street Art Permit process and the celebration of the City's well known street art, to the prosecution of illegal tagging, and the role of the Corrections cleaning teams. We hope that through this documentation process a broader understanding of graffiti, in all its forms, is developed and explored.
