the frankfurt book fair<\/a> is currently happening, and new zealand is this year’s “guest of honour”; frankfurt is a mere 4 hour train journey from munich, & i would have loved to go – but with 3 big projects climaxing simultaneously over the weekend, it was impossible. such is the life of the independent artist – try as we might to spread our work out in a manageable timeframe, things do have a habit of clustering<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the big event for me this weekend was the CyPosium<\/a>, starting at 4pm CET on friday 12th, & finishing up at 3am saturday morning. an “online symposium on cyberformance”, the CyPosium featured presentations by 10 artists & researchers, recalling and discussing examples from the body of cyberformance created over the last 20 years or so. all but one of the presentations took place in the Waterwheel Tap<\/a>, an online interface that facilitates audio-visual streaming as well as real-time manipulation of audio & images, & a concurrent text chat for the audience. the one exception was miljana peric’s presentation in UpStage<\/a>, where we had a record attendance of 69 connected computers. all in all, the CyPosium was a great success – the presentations were inspiring, the audience was engaged & vocal, & the technology performed brilliantly.

barely was the CyPosium over when WWW:World Wild Web<\/a> opened at Furtherfield<\/a>‘s gallery in Finsbury Park, London. paula & i have an exhibit in this group exhibition, “Dave’s Quiz (part 2)”: this is a hard-copy multichoice quiz that people can complete in the gallery or download online, developed from our research for and performances of make-shift.

at the same time as all of this, the long-awaited new version of UpStage (v2.4.2) is about to be released; initially it was to be installed over the weekend, but – as often happens in the world of software development, cross-time-zone collaboration, & over-committed artists – we didn’t manage to complete the final testing in time. the up-side of this is that we also haven’t finished the new user manual, so now there is a bit more breathing space to get that done … but the 121212 UpStage Festival of Cyberformance<\/a> is rushing rapidly towards us, so there is precious little time to pause!!

all i can say is: YOGA!!!!! if it wasn’t for yoga i think i might go insane. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
