[aether] Pixelache sound loop files needed christiaan cruz fe2cruz at hotmail.com Thu Feb 18 20:57:15 CET 2010 Previous message: [aether] Florplan and schedule info about PixelAche Next message: [aether] residency agence TOPO current situation Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] create/record sound files yourself or find them from other websites (with credits) FTP your files here http://cave12.org/~aether/archive/2010.03.26.Helsinki just follow these guidelines: Installation Sound Loop Guidelines This is an 8+ hour Public installation so please select your audio files with these things in mind: 1. Voice reading a text in narratively engaging tone. Can be an essay about aether theories, or narrative. should be possible to understand/follow. 2. Very short audio-loop of only a few seconds, that is interesting to listen to when looping for 1-2 minutes (maybe with slight shift in volume and speed). should not be too disruptive / rhythmic - it should be usable as a background for a reading voice. 3. Avoid annoying sounds or standard crowd noise that would just blend into a large room of talking people. 4. The content relates to the visual material we're streaming (landscapes of us see below) 5. Ambient synthesizer or radio wave sounds in upper frequencies. Examples: space sounds - http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/space-audio/sounds/ aurora sounds - http://www.auroralchorus.com/ space radio - http://www.svengrahn.pp.se/sounds/sounds.htm ”LANDSCAPES OF US” (working title) This idea is inspired somehow by Vimeo group called ”The Pictures Don't Move” http://www.vimeo.com/groups/thepicturesdontmove and of course Judy's idea about the leaves. Idea would be to create landscapes or sceneries by using different streams: even though each stream is different and from different location, together they create a whole scenery (this is something Aether has done with drawing, I guess, but now it would be live footage). It's pretty simple, here's a sketch that explains a bit: http://www.artsufartsu.net/IMG_2438.JPG But what would be the sceneries, then? Should there be one or more? Could there be themes like, e.g, earth, wind, water and fire? Urban, forest, countryside? What is nature anyways? It should just be your localized nature. Like Judy's idea of shooting out your window. Just pick some image in your area that you can safely stream the whole 8 hours. Or the aethernaut could have different setups say 8 different 1 hour landscapes. I like this change idea. As of now the 9 aether frames will be like an exqusite corpes landscape image the top three sky streams the middle 3 frames horizon and the lower 3 earth ground streams A localized scene from your area is preferred So far we have confirmed Mari Keski-Korsu (possibly streaming in on location) Christiaan Cruz Manuel Schmalstieg Judy Nylon Paula Vélez Bravo Cym It'd be nice to 4 or more Aethernauts streaming live landscape so ask Friends and family about availability on Friday March 26th Helsinki time Just introduce them via the list and one of us can setup a skype chat date to help them get used to using the patch if needed.

They start already in the morning at 8 am (CET), but there won't be electricity for two hours, so I think 10 - 11 am (CET) would be a good time for us to start testing our work. This is Thursday 25.3. John Hopkins is interested in joining our installation. He would like to stream Arizona sunrise at 14:30-15:00, (30min) CET Manu, from where should he download the needed files and also the server listing? mkk [aether] patch 401 Dhanya Pilo studio at dhanyapilo.com Wed Mar 24 11:21:19 CET 2010 Previous message: [aether] patch 401 Next message: [aether] patch 401 Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Hi I missed some of the chats, but wanted to know how we have access to these other web cameras? i see it on the patch, but it is some sort of piracy or web channels? wow! cheers, Dhanya [aether] rehearsal ideacritik idea at 1904.cc Wed Mar 24 20:54:56 CET 2010 Previous message: [aether] patch 401 Next message: [aether] rehearsal Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] i will be online by 12~12:30 CET tomorrow for rehearsal, i'll be there n available for the afternoon. see some of you tomorrow! audrey ps ill be streaming with cym from utrecht(NL), where the botanical gardens of utrecht university used to be. the scenery will include dutch greenery, a stream, probably grey-ish sky and a mansion in the background. pps this is the webcam of the national dutch weather station (KNMI) which is almost in the backyard from where we will be streaming: http://www.knmi.nl/webcam/images/ispy.jpg?20427 (havent tested adress in patch yet but should work :) [aether] (no subject) bk bk at n3krozoft.com Fri Mar 26 14:14:55 CET 2010 Previous message: [aether] and to already get you into the next performance...

Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Hi, Manu, Paula, Audrey, Vinny, Cym, Judy, Chris, Dhanya and John. Once more, THANK YOU very much for your hard work and amazing creation in Pixelache Camp yesterday. It was such a nice experience. I also want to apologise once more that I had difficulties on concentrating in between the virtual discussion of us and talking about the work with people in physical space. Both sides lack in this situation, that's for sure. But I hope you won't hate me, still :) I uploaded some pics to my Flickr account, I will ad them to the Aether9 group after Paula accepts me as a member of it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/artsufartsu/sets/72157623587582799/ Bows, mkk [aether] Helsinki says thank you!

Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Hello Mari Thank you for uploading the photos. The festival looks very nice! After seeing the photos I really think that it is a pity that I couldn't come... But it was a very nice experience to stream with Audrey from the garden. It was so strange to walk around there in this very quiet garden next to a busy street, making pictures from grass, water and clouds, while trying not to loose the connection. Somehow it seemed very bizarre to me, especially to do this live. But it is really nice to get feedback and to see some photos of the installation with the audience. The setting, the projection inside the white cube, is really nice!

Next message: [aether] Helsinki Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Hi all, big thanks to Mari for running the show at Camp Pixelache! It was a very interesting perfo for me as i was testing a new streaming setup: - little AsusEEE netbook (running the patch in WinXP) - cheapo USB webcam (Aiptek VGA+) - mobile USB web access The first session was a near total failure, as it was raining heavily, and I realized that it's impossible to operate laptop+cam while holding an umbrella! In addition to that, the botanical garden where I was trying to stream from turned out to be in a no-network zone between two hills. During the afternoon sessions, rain stopped, and I got used to the process of quickly connecting the USB modem, entering PIN, launching Max patch, adjusting cam settings, all in a couple of minutes. And as Cym says, it's a very weird and fascinating feeling, sending the live images from a quiet natural outside location. The connection was surpraisingly stable, even in a rolling train there were no disconnections. It looks like switzerland has a dense coverage, appart from mountainous zones. This opens lots of opportunities for outside streaming, and I think the direction of "mobile documentary event coverage" is something to explore, where the "realtime" element can make real sense. Also, specially in the later hours of the performance, I think we worked out a good sense of composition withing our 9 frames (in terms of geometry, colors)... hopefully the sign that there *is* some ongoing progress in our familiarity with the tool / framework :) [aether] Helsinki says thank you! ideacritik idea at 1904.cc Sat Mar 27 19:36:43 CET 2010 Previous message: [aether] Helsinki says thank you!
