Techno Carnegie: Karen Jamieson Dance, New Media/Video & Lights Workshop

I'm working on this fantastic workshop for Karen Jamieson as a New Media/ Video Mentor on behalf of SFU Contemporary Arts,

There will be a performance of work in progress in July 18th, 2010 as part of the Dancing on the Edge festival.

Techno Carnegie

In partnership with SFU School for the Contemporary Arts and Carnegie Community Centre - KJD returns to dance in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside with a project that focuses on interdisciplinary exploration of new media/video & lights integrated with dance. This project promises to be of compelling interest to many of the community dancers who have on several occasions expressed interest in working with light and projection and shadow in the development of their ideas. This workshop will have two stages of development: the first a process of learning and mentoring from a person who has a mastery of the technology, the second stage creating choreography with these new tools. Workshops will take place at SFU for technical instruction and at the Carnegie Community Centre for dance creation. This project will take the form of a series of workshops over a period of time — starting in July 2010

Media Design for Interdisciplinary Performance- Imprint at SFU Woodward's

Dear Friends,

I’m currently working on the Media Design for Imprint II with my brother Shang-han, an interdisciplinary performance piece with dance, music, media and telepresence technology. This project is co-created by choreographer Henry Daniel and composer Owen Underhill with the Turning Point Ensemble.

The last Imprint has successfully performed in MoA in January 2010. This time we’re performing at SFU Woodward’s spectacular Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre

Our work involves real-time visual processing and interactive media in dance, music and theatre environment. Although the visual projection isn't the main dish of the show, but experimenting alternative ways to present images and motion on unconventional platform might be somewhat interesting to you.

There will also be an interactive/telepresent installation created by Majid Bagheri, Xiaonan Mah & James O'callaghan in the gallery before, during and after the show. You can see the dancers performing in the gallery in the first half of the show, then they'll leave to the theatre and the that's when telepresence comes into the gallery. This part of the show is accessible for free.

Best Innovation Award on Preproduction Package

My production package on my grad project Patterns Of Liquid Stars has just received best innovation award- Noel Archambault Award.

I am extremely pleased and encouraged to receive such an honor. I wasn't expecting this at all, which gave me a wonderful surprise.

I've been thinking about creating this work for a couple years already. And now it is about to begin. The first step towards this project is already landing with a very positive encouragement.

I'm hoping to look for more funding & sponsorship this summer. However, this is a already a tremendous support to my project. Thank you for those who supported me on making this package. Especially Janina Schabig who helped designing my package to make my thoughts-communication possible.

I cannot forget to thank the Archambault family. Noel Archambault, who were one of the first filmmaker that started 3D film in Canada. He begin that innovative journey & success in SFU. His innovative spirit really has infiltrated SFU and continuing to inspire us.

A Noisy Brush with the Infinite, lecture by Dr. Laura Marks

Laura is a writer, theorist, curator and teacher who can completely change your life. The following is her upcoming lecture/event. Ready for the most imaginative, deep and mindful experience.

----------------

A Noisy Brush with the Infinite
keynote lecture by Laura U. Marks
Noise Not Noise festival, The Western Front
Friday March 26, 7 p.m. Free.
Followed by a performance by noise artist KK Null at 8 p.m.
The Western Front, 303 East 8th Avenue

I'll be talking about noise in light of a model I call Image-Information-Infinite, which explains how certain things arrive to our perception (Image) from the universe (Infinite) and others do not. According to this model, noise is part of the infinite that is often filtered before we perceive it, the result being that what we end of seeing is Information. So the question is, how can we lift away the imposed filters and create our own ways of making contact with the infinite, without drowning in noise? And how can we appreciate the extra layers that information adds to the image?

Thanks for the Slaute, MOA

After a whole week of class, work, performance and intense class over the weekend, I woke up this morning again with less than 5 hours of sleep again. My sleepy eyes has found a really rewarding surprise in here... I've realized that I'm being introduced on the UBC Museum of Anthropology's blog, written by MOA Communications Assistant Viv Tutlewski. I was there assisting Media Artist Jamie Griffith's fascinating work last week, just feeling how much I love the space there and reminiscing the big show that I was involved in January... Then I saw this! I didn't think that I will be remembered. I'm really touched and encouraged by this.

I'm sure SadMag would be happy to know about this, too. One of our ultimate goal is to connect the people together and spread the creative spirits. This seems to be happening gradually. Every little step counts.

Please also support MoA, for providing such an amazing and inspiring space.

"The Tiger is one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet, and is feared and revered in equal measure. It features in many Asian cultures as a manifestation of courage, power, passion and royalty. The Tiger symbolizes the female Yin energy as opposed to the Yang male energy of the dragon. Ancient Chinese believe that the markings on the forehead of tigers resemble the Chinese character for "Wang", or King. In Imperial China, where the dragon is the insignia of the emperors, the tiger is the military emblem of the highest supreme commanders of the army symbolizing fearlessness and victory. The Tiger also represents earth, while the dragon represents Heaven. The powerful and stealth prowess of the Tiger inspire the martial art movements of many Kung-Fu masters."


Those who are skilled in combat
do not become angered.

Those who are skilled at winning
do not become afraid.

Thus, the wise win before they fight
while the ignorant fight to win.

Imprint: dance, music, telepresence technology @ MoA

I am currently working on the media design for a site-specific commissioned work featuring dance, music, and telepresence technology, as part of MoA’s Celebration of Creativity, presented by Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad.

The media that I will be creating seeks to bridge the dance, music and the the artifacts. This time, the visual media is presented more towards light sculpture rather than concrete visual images except the direct streaming of video telepresence.

似不像-Sharing Creative Spirit: A Happening for the Pre-Departured Form

Date: 12, 19 Time: 7pm~ 11pm-ish

似不像是Sammy上翔及Shang-Han上涵 帶領著的尚未凝結定型完聚的理念, 似而不像, 如形似體, 創作也許貌似渾沌或游離不定, 但追求的是遊走邊緣, 提倡跨界跨領域跨感官合作, 尋找著新媒介, 新想法,新語言,新次元及創作的驚喜

在最好的機緣, 碰上了台灣藝術界以多元化及創新著名的打開-當代藝術工作站的夥伴們, 剛好有個也是開發中, 尚未完成的藝術空間, 在這還在發展中的過程 交織出的這個晚上

一個晚上 一群藝術家, 好朋友, 欣賞者, 跨領域創作者, 寫作家, 行動藝術者, 以非常隨性開放的心情分享藝術,創作以及生活精神和理念

我們將會涉及到實驗電影, 實驗音樂, 視覺/聲音藝術, 新媒體, 現代舞蹈, 裝置藝術, 行動藝術, 文學寫作, 平面攝影等等

我們將以非常隨性,類似60年代Soho或Berlin的 happenings方式共舉...

Sammy Chien (似不像) in associate with Open-Contemporary Art Centre (OCAC) presents,

A night with artists, innovators, creative thinkers and imaginative percepts. It is a happening with a very free formed and interdisciplinary work, idea and performance. it touches on experimental film, video documents of installations, new media dance performances, small sets of live experimental music performance + any other emerging artists and visionaries who would like to exhibit or share any artistic medium, thoughts, discourses or experiences with others.

ハ プニングは、1950年代から1970年代前半を中心に、北米・西ヨーロッパ・日本などで展開された、ギャラリーや市街地で行われる非再現的で一回性の強 いパフォーマンスアートや作品展示などを総称するのに用いられる美術用語。ハプニングの創始者と言われているアラン・カプローによると「きまった時間と空 間の中で演じられる点では演劇に関連をもった芸術形式」

A happening is a performance, event or situation meant to be considered as an art. Happenings take place anywhere (from basements to studio lofts and even street alley ways), are often multi-disciplinary, with a nonlinear narrative and the active participation of the audience. Key elements of happenings are planned, but artists sometimes retain room for improvisation. This new media art aspect to happenings eliminates the boundary between the artwork and its viewer. Henceforth, the interactions between the audience and the artwork makes the audience, in a sense, part of the art.

無生也無死, 轉生極樂國

"操場"星期四晚上 "the Fucking Place" Thursday Nites

每個禮拜四晚上 10 到 半夜 2點 多... 我會在操場駐場DJ
都是比較另類的音樂 一般bar 比較聽不到的
有些可能是 一般人不會去聽的
除非有人抱怨 我會繼續放 因為太愛那裡還有老闆們以及資深的客人們
在回國前我都會在那 歡迎來玩, 來聽, 來坐坐, 來喝杯, 來捧場, 來看看神祕資深的操場

和平東路二段169號2樓 (科技大樓對面)

Have you been to “the fu*king place”? I’m playing music there every thursday nites. And no, I won’t be fu*king around. Thursday 10pm - 2am. Come drop by, kick back relax and listen to some tunes that most of bars won’t be playing. Ranging from IDM, Illbient, Drum n’ Bass, Trip-Hop, Underground Hip-Hop, Minimal -Tech to Classics, dancy pop, punk/rock, film scores... depending on the intuition of the night.

address: 和平東路二段169號2樓 (near technology building station)
