(GIP) Island 8.0

From: { brad brace } <bbrace@ESKIMO.COM>

Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 17:50:15 -0700

(remote Fiji WAYA/YASAWAS islands:)

Island 8.0 is now available online!
====================================

http://bradbrace.net/islands/island8/island8.html

Global Islands Project -- ongoing series of multi-media pdf-ebooks/field-recordings -- a
pastoral, pictorial and phonic elicitation of island parameters. An intensive
examination of small islands and their paradigmatic solutions to globalism...
Ethnographically a shared world of historical experience -- not the romanticized and
divided universe of them and us.


Your feudal-world is based on mutual relief at your common corruption. Maybe some
cultures are based on even worse. But that wouldn't change the bad faith of it and as
years go by, you wake at night in terror of your whole life being an act of bad faith,
where everything is self-interest and nothing more, where every human interaction is
driven by a silent, even subconscious calculation of some ulterior motive, to the point
that a sea of bad faith has taken over your whole life, there's no small island left
from which you can even try to build a bridge of good faith, because even that effort
becomes suspect, even good faith is nothing but self-interested, even altruism is
nothing but solipsistic, even your professed agonizing right here right now is nothing
but a gesture, made to the conscience in order to assure it that it exists.

You cannot politically defy the institutions when all you really wanted
was to be clasped to their bosoms and hope in time to be cherished under
the very framework of oppressive values you are thinking of overcoming.
That would be co-optation, revolution only in the sense of a circulation
of elites rather than the extirpation of the very impulses of elitism.

Booking information, a draft programme and paper abstracts are available online at http://www.chart.ac.uk/chart2012/.

MediaArtHistories INFO SESSION at DAM in Berlin - 25.October.2012 - 4pm

From: Image Science <Image.Science@DONAU-UNI.AC.AT>

Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:22:14 +0200

>> BERLIN INFORMATION SESSION  "MediaArtHistories, Master of Arts" <<

The team of the Center for Image Science (CIS) discusses its Advanced
Masters Program in MediaArtHistories which starts this fall for the
seventh time. The program's structure, it's procedures, objectives and
methods will be presented.

Host: [DAM] Digital Art Museum Berlin
Neue Jakobstraße 6, 10179 Berlin, Germany 

When: 25.October.2012  :: 4pm- 6pm


>> COURSE DESCRIPTION <<
The MediaArtHistories masters program conveys the most important
developments of contemporary art through a network of renowned
international theorists, artists and curators like Erkki HUHTAMO, Lev
MANOVICH, Christiane PAUL, Kathy Rae HUFFMAN, Frieder NAKE, Jens HAUSER,
Andreas LANGE, Christa SOMMERER, knowbotic research, Jeffrey SHAW,
Oliver GRAU, and many others. Historical derivations that go far back
into art and media history are tied in intriguing ways to digital art.
Key approaches and methods from Image Science, Media Archaeology and the
History of Science & Technology will be discussed. Media Art History
offers a basis for understanding evolutionary history of audiovisual
media, from the Laterna Magica to the Panorama, Phantasmagoria, Film,
and the Digital Art of recent decades. Using the latest online archives,
knowledge of computer animation, interactive, telematic and genetic art
as well as the most recent reflections on net art, CAVE installations,
augmented reality and locative media are introduced. Artists and
programmers give new insights into the latest software and interface
developments. The MediaArtHistories learning environment at the Center
for Image Science integrates world-wide leading scholars from the field
into a faculty working intensely with the students in seminars and
workshops.


>>CONFIRMED for the MediaArtHistories Module in November 2012<<
Erkki HUHTAMO (FI/US) presents the most recent research from his new
publication "Illusions in Motion“. Oliver GRAU (DE/AT) introduces the
backgrounds in MediaArtHistories. Kathy Rae HUFFMAN (US) discusses the
History of Video Art as well as the feminist reading of Media Art.
Thomas DREHER (DE) introduces important transitions of Intermedia Arts
from the 50s and 60s, and Virtual Architecture is presented by Or
ETTLINGER (IS/SL). Nat MULLER (NL) goes in-depth on her upcoming book
"Media Art in the Middle East“. Jacob WAMBERG (DK) goes deep into the
Art History of Evolution of Imagery. The Module will round off with a
three-day excursion to ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany with teaching by Margit
ROSEN (DE) and Morten SONDERGAARD (DK) and behind the scenes / into the
studios with Bernd LINTERMANN (DE), RobotLab and the Laboratory for
Antiquated Video Systems.

Teaching Difficult Histories

Should post-conflict societies and ‘peaceful’ societies teach history in the same way?

 

Monday 18 March 2013 at Cumberland Lodge, Windsor Great Park

www.cumberlandlodge.ac.uk/difficulthistories

 

The study of history, according to David Willetts, is crucial to the operation of a ‘free society’. But what should be taught, and how? Which interpretations of contested histories should be given priority? And how should traumatic and upsetting histories be imparted constructively?

 

This conference takes stock of international debates on history education in a variety of social contexts. It brings together academics, teachers, peacekeepers, educational NGOs and diplomats to discuss the sensitivities and practicalities that surround the teaching of difficult and contested histories in different settings, with a view to informing policy and pedagogical best practice in teaching relevant and sympathetic histories.

 

More information including programme and registration at www.cumberlandlodge.ac.uk/difficulthistories
