EXISTENTIAL COMPUTING

2007-01-29T09:14:00.000-01:00

PART 1, SENTIMENTALITY:
A 5 DAY WORKSHOP WITH MILTOS MANETAS AT THE HAYWARD IN LONDON
1. There is "sympathy" between humans and computers, there are "feelings".
1.1 In both directions.
2. There are new theories about time. Maybe time doesn't even exist!
3. People meet and exchange information. There are institutions such as The Hayward that invite artists such as myself to talk to people. I suspect it is just data that they
want to know about each other.
4. Art is what is happening when data meet beautifully. This is very rare.

Miltos Manetas is an internationally renowned artist born in Greece in 1964. He lives in London and Los Angeles and his Internet Paintings (internetpaintings.com) are exhibited at the gallery Blow de la Barra in London (blowdelabarra.com) from 27 January 2007.
Manetas makes websites that are art works, they hang on the internet as a painting hang on the walls of a museum. Manetas signs them as unique pieces and collectors buy them as such. (see: jacksonpollock.org)
In 2000, he started Neen (neen.org), a new art movement.
More about Manetas: www.manetas.com

Website of the project (under construction):
http://existentialcomputing.com

Join Miltos at The Hayward for a five-day workshop to explore digital art and work together to create a work that will be showcased at The Hayward on Saturday 3 March.
The "Digital Dialogues" series of workshops are part of the 100 IDEAS programme.

Time: 12pm – 5pm
Dates: 13 – 17 Feb 2007
Venue: Waterloo Sunset Pavilion, The Hayward, Southbank Centre, London

These workshops are FREE. To enrol please contact Paul Green: paul.green@southbankcentre.co.uk

Bio Mapping in Lambeth

2007-01-22T14:18:00.000-01:00

How do you feel about the area that you live in?
Which areas do you have a physical and emotional response to?

The Hayward are running workshops with artist Christian Nold to create bio maps of areas in Brixton and Clapham.

The Bio Mapping tool allows the wearer to record their Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), which is a simple indicator of emotional arousal, in conjunction with their geographical location. This can be used to plot a map that highlights points of high and low arousal. By sharing this data we can construct maps that visualise where we as a community feel stressed and excited

These workshops involve a walk around the area followed by a download session where your physical responses are downloaded and mapped on Google Earth

These workshops are FREE and promise to be a fascinating insight into your community

It is strongly recommended that you register your interest beforehand as the number of participants has to be limited to a maximum of 10

Meeting and download point:
Brixton - Monday 29 Jan. Meet at Brixton Library at 2.30pm
Clapham - Monday 12 Feb. Meet at Clapham City Learning Centre

For more information and to register your interest in either of these workshops please e-mail Paul.green@southbankcentre.co.uk

My Territory - A Video DJ Workshop

2006-12-12T15:02:00.000-01:00

A Mobile Phone Video Workshop by Vital Regeneration for The Hayward Gallery

The Hayward Gallery has commissioned Vital Regeneration to run three mobile phone video making projects with groups of young people between the ages of 13-19 in Lambeth between January and March 2007.

Capitalising on the new video shooting and editing capability of the latest generation of mobile phones the project will introduce young people to filmmaking. They will be creating short films in tribute to local places through character acting, song, dance and original music. Inspiration will come from the places where they go to meet, have fun, think, or watch the world go by.

Each young person will think around their relationship to their area & then write, direct and edit a short 'advert' using themselves and their friends. Each workshop will create 5-8 films between 1 - 10 minutes long, which the young people can then share using Bluetooth. The energy, originality and authenticity of the films along with the FreqOUT!, Hayward Gallery and mobile phone brands will be quickly distributed to a wider community through viral marketing.

The workshops will be lead by experienced educator and mobile phone video artist Melissa Bliss whose 1minute film e-state made in with young people on a housing estate in Hackney won the 2005 Big Issue One Minute Video prize. Melissa's work can currently be seen in New York as part of the 'Peter Stuyvesant's Ghost' Civic Art project (http://cityinasoundwalk.org/psg/index.php).

We want your shorts!

dusk
a performative discourse by Michael Atavar

A series of works that constellate around the idea of dusk and its shifting, transitional nature.

What is dusk?

How do we feel when we are in it?

What does it allow us to do?

Where will it take us?

Dusk allows us a moment in modern life to stop and find out where we are. It gives us space to slow down. At dusk objects start to merge with one another. This creates an opportunity to abandon the small self we often find ourselves faced with. It offers us a bigger view.

The first piece in the series can now be seen online at http://www.atavar.com/dusk/

It contains text and 250 digital pictures of dusk.

Michael Atavar will give a free performance lecture about dusk at the Waterloo Sunset Pavilion, Hayward Gallery, London at dusk, 7-00 pm, on Friday 22nd September 2006. During the lecture audience members will be encouraged to access dusk, stepping into a space which we usually all ignore.

Michael Atavar is an artist who works with digital art, installation and performance.

In 2001 he was artist-in-residence at the Guardian Newspaper producing a print piece for G2 magazine in an unlimited edition of 400,000 copies.

His work creates a different kind of space on the world wide web, encouraging audiences to watch, wait and slow down.

Recently he was resident artist in Shanghai, China as part of the British Council's Artist Links Programme, where he researched the background for this piece.

Supported by the Arts Council of England.

Performance lecture supported by the Hayward Gallery, London and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

Hayward Projects at Lambeth Town Hall

2006-02-27T11:48:00.000-01:00

The Hayward Gallery and London Printworks Trust would like to invite you to the launch of an exhibition at:
Lambeth Town Hall, Brixton Hill, Brixton on Wednesday 1 March 2006 between 6pm and 8pm

This exhibition, organised by London Printworks Trust, reflects some of the projects that the Hayward Gallery has run with young people from Lambeth and is a testament to the creativity of the people of this most dynamic of London boroughs.

The works on display include images from Happy Holidays and The Extreme Travel Show. These two short films were made during the summer holidays and were consequently exhibited in the Hayward Gallery during the Universal Experience exhibition before getting a big screen showing at the National Film Theatre. The participants worked with Chocolate Films to learn new filmmaking skills and used digital technology to create these advertisements for out of this world holidays.

The Hayward Gallery collaborated with artist David Blandy and Danielle Arnaud Contemporary Art to make the film Utopian Visions with pupils from Lilian Baylis Technology School. The young people filmed themselves talking about their dreams and aspirations in front of a green screen image of their selected dream destination

As part of the Africa Remix exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, photographer Ben Johnson led a one-day photo shoot in Salon Afrique at the Royal Festival Hall. Models in this photo shoot had their photographs taken with friends and family in a mixture of African and western dress.

Images from these workshops are currently on show in the Town Hall and during this launch there will also be the opportunity to view the films; 'Utopian Visions', 'Happy Holidays' and 'The Extreme Travel Show' over a glass of wine and to meet some of the participants and artists involved
