Speaking Out Loud and Netherlands Media Arts Institute

By Laura Paolini Published November 14, 2008

This came across my desk and I thought it would interest some readers. I’m fairly drawn to anything that questions the larger structures of language, action and meaning. Hopefully you enjoy this as well! Please read on….

Explicit Content Only by Evan Roth

Participating artists: Tudor Bratu (RO), Tim Etchells (UK) and Vlatka Horvat (CRO/US), Linda Hilfling (DEN), Michael Hoepfel (DE), Jaromil (IT/NL) and Jodi (NL), KH Jeron (DE), Christoph Keller (DE), Manu Luksch (AT) and Mukul Patel (UK), Evan Roth (US), Charles Sandison (UK), Trikoton (DE).

Performances at the opening: Blaxtar (NL), Bas Boettcher (DE) and Omer Krieger (IL)

Speaking Out Loud centers on the processes of both ‘thinking out loud’ and ‘speaking out’. Thinking out loud describes the associative, dynamic and rather uncontrolled process of simultaneously thinking and speaking about a particular topic. We think out loud to make a suggestion, to put forward an idea or a thought rather than to make a claim. Speaking Out Loud advocates this free and creative process of thinking out loud through artworks that enable a playful and surprising experience of language. This happens in the form of what could be summarised as experimental language exercises or canny transformations and alternations of language.

  • Upcoming Workshops and Events

    • Events on May 23, 2013
      • Workshop: Intro to GIT
        Starts: 7:00 pm
        Ends: May 23, 2013 - 10:00 pm
        Location: 9 Ossington Ave
        Description: Register here: http://ia-git.eventbrite.ca

        Improve your programming productivity by learning the basics of Git! This workshop will teach you how version control systems like Git can help you to be more productive and to collaborate effectively when programming. You will learn everything you need to start using Git to track changes and collaborate with others on your projects. This workshop is for anyone who writes code or markup; the only requirement is familiarity with some text-based programming language.

        OK, look, I'll level with you: It's hard to explain why you need to learn Git, but you just have to trust me that it's really important. If you're going to take on large projects that involve multiple coders, or if you're going to share your revolutionary code with the world, then you need to know this stuff. It also makes it easy to update software and code libraries that you're running yourself.

        EXTRA INFO:
        What do I need to bring? You need to bring a laptop computer, and have the latest stable build of Git installed on your machine. You can find it here: http://git-scm.com/downloads. It's OK to be on a Mac or on a PC. The instructor will be teaching on a Mac.
        About the Instructor: Miller Peterson is a Toronto-based software developer and musician. His interests include interaction design for musical interfaces, generative art, and software engineering practices.

      • Interactive Video in Pure Data
        Starts: 12:00 pm
        Ends: May 25, 2013 - 5:00 pm
        Location: InterAcces Studio
        Description: Register here: http://ia-pd.eventbrite.ca

        About the workshop:

        In one afternoon, you'll learn how to make interactive, sound-responsive video using a totally free visual programming environment called Pure Data.

        Pure Data, also known as Pd, is an open source graphical programming environment. It is frequently used by artists and musicians to create custom digital sythesizers, images that respond to sound and other inputs, or to interface with hardware such as Arduino and midi keyboards.

        The big difference between Pd and other programming languages: this tool uses an interface that relies on visually connecting onscreen elements, as opposed to writing out code.

        Do I need any prior experience?

        Nope! We're expecting that this is the first time you'll be using PureData. You're going to be surprised how far we can get you in a single afternoon.

        What should I bring?

        Bring your laptop, with PureData downloaded and installed. PureData is an open-source software, which means it's absolutely free! You can get it here: http://puredata.info/downloads

        Both Mac and PC are supported. The instructor will be teaching on a Mac.

      • Glitch: Embracing the Mistake
        Starts: 7:00 pm
        Ends: May 30, 2013 - 10:00 pm
        Location: InterAccess Studio
        Description: Register here: http://ia-glitch.eventbrite.ca

        “Glitch art [...] is an amorphous term - a canopy who's tenants slip under and out of. These terms can be expanded to include much more than might immediately come to mind. This is because at their core they're simply a loose link to a key concept: the interest in the ‘mistake’” - Nick Briz

        This session will focus on that one key concept - the mistake - and see how adding intention to mistakes has birthed the Glitch movement in art. Specifically, we will look at techniques to translate pieces of data from one piece of software to another, creating unexpected new works in the process. We will use Open Source software to deconstruct and reconstruct images, audio, and video.

        While we will be looking at code and other confusing bits of letters and numbers, no programming experience is necessary for this session. The focus will be heavily on playing around, and mistakes, of course, are very much encouraged.

        About the instructor:
        Matt is a musician and composer from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada now living and working in Toronto. He got his BFA from Simon Fraser University's School for the Contemporary Arts and his MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In addition to his work with Electricity is Magic, he is the Audio Curator for Chicago's LiveBox Gallery. His recent shows and exhibitions include a collaboration with Eric and Campbell Foster as KATA-STROPH for Toronto's Nuit Blanche, and a video installation and performance of his piece "Empire" at New Adventures in Sound Art Art. His latest album, "Exit Strategy: Selections from Chicago 2007-2011" is available here.
