Hello,
Sorry for not being able to \stylerefmailchat{Skype}\stylerefroad{501}{543} lately. Could someone write a short,
simple summary about the actions done simultaneously? I won't be able to
see or hear you due to the \stylerefmailslow{slow}\stylerefroad{501}{544} internets and this would help. There was
something about \stylerefmailthemes{luck}\stylerefroad{323}{543} in group changes and then there was something about
sunset? I'll be able to stream a little bit about the sunset, it is
setting behind the trees around the time of the my stream. I can of
course try to climb on the roof of the house (a bit scared about that).
What is the idea with the sunset? Is it about just showing a sunset what
ever way we feel like or is there some sort of concept like everyone is
trying to show it from same angles or something?

Mari \& all the Aethers,
To make it easier I think rather than \stylerefmailthemes{luck}\stylerefroadfwdonly{544} they mean: \stylerefmailthemes{chance}\stylerefroadrwdonly{542}
Props of luck gambling or chance ect:
Dice
drawing lots - sticks
throwing bones
games of chance
play
gaming imagery
Aethers Aleatoric
synchronization will also happen by chance
hopefully we can work with you via \stylerefmailchat{Skype}\stylerefroad{542}{545}
otherwise we can also text your phone messages SMS
we can instruct you to add colors or adjust your stream
simple instructions like its too busy or a cooler or warmer color
likewise if skype is too much for your connection you may SMS me too
213-806-6962
\stylerefmailcash{free}\stylerefroad{541}{544} via \hyphenatedurl{http://www.gizmosms.com/}
we'll have 1 person in each group function like a moderator
and try to keep all of the cells even and balanced
sunset/sunrise is just another way to accent our locations
if the trees are in your way don't climb your roof
its not important as not many of us won't have a sunrise or sunset
just have a local paper, a clock or snow
anything live from your location that the rest of us won't have
It seems like a proper rehearsal may be difficult to organize.
too many timezones. However since this is a festival about
imporvisation and our main theme could be
Moving Images of Chance
then rehearsals may actually be the wrong thing to do.
I suggest all streamers just gather as many objects that they can.
Objects that might support or even oppose the idea of Chance.
Lots of Colors, pictures, books. Be prepared to write or Draw.
Have prisms, Kaliedescopes or lenses to put over your camera.
Try puppets in lights or just as shadows.
Use mirrors to open up your space.
Be aware of the other features available in the \stylerefmailpatch{Patch}\stylerefroad{370}{545}: cam-links \& effects
have your camera near a nice window to grab imagery outside
or even stream outside in a nice location as long as the light isn't an issue
Everyone has at least 2 hours. So we should all bring lots of things
to play with in front of the camera and be ready to change those things
if your moderator feels your cell needs to be adjusted. Anywone with
luck enough to have connections for proper viewing and listening of
all the streams should try to communicate to everyone how all 9 cells
are working and if any adjustments need to be made.

NECESSITY TO PREPARE DIFFERENT KIND OF PROPS, ACCORDING TO THE SUBJECT.
I would like to add that the mutual watching of other frames should not be
forgotten, so that we really play together (if there is no master of
ceremony). Maybe some frames could also be passive or still, or showing a
\stylerefmailslow{slow}\stylerefroad{542}{545} minimalistic action, in order to llow other frames to catch the viewers
attention. Let's consider each other as an orchestra and trully imagine what
it sounds like when all musicians are playing solo in the same time...
by the way, is there a leader of the performance or not ?!
See you soon

where quality could be maximum as Chris proposed?)

RECORDING.
Who will record the hole performance?
We should maybe asign different people for different moments.. it will
be long!
Who will record sound?
who will record video?
I will try to do it here, but ... cool if someonelse do it.
one at cd quality and the other really low
IDEAS for JAM we talked in last chats
At 2:00 pm (COL time) we will try to start at time with this jam
CYM gives the signal, in a moment of *highter intensity* will start.
Just need to be sure everyone is clear and knows they must write
"greetings to split" when Cym gives that command around 20minutes into
our performance
and then 'greetings to split', in different languages.
(Like, projection in Croatia. Videovortex Festival. Cym, hello from
Vorva Linda, California, Here is the sun in Australia, C'est le
printemps à Brusels,...
1.Playing cards, dice, coins, casino...
about \stylerefmailthemes{luck}\stylerefroadfwdonly{582} : being lucky --> astrology, karma
clocks. could be a nice "leitmotiv", a clock , like an old alarm. to
use it in BREAKS.
We say the comand: CLOCKS and everyone put clocks in their frames.
2. Drawings, abstract lines, B\&W
3. \stylerefmailslow{ambience}\stylerefroad{544}{581}, landscapes, and using remote webcams.
4. Simulating people making, "Foley sound" . Crunching, steps, claps,
hammers, using in the image objects that makes think about sound!
5. Simulating playing instruments, following music.
6.Adapting to less frames.
7.Words to play with:
Luck Nature Weightless Wet Anxious Travel
Hot Languid Food Soft \stylerefmailcash{money}\stylerefroad{544}{581} Couples/Pairs
Dance Industrial Ancient Magic Cool Depth
Focal Shift
8. spaceships, \stylerefmailscience{Tesla}\stylerefroadrwdonly{539}, transmision, theremyn... representation of
\stylerefmailscience{magnetic}\stylerefroadfwdonly{548} fields..
9. Toys, objects, playhouse
10. try to play simon says.
11. use \stylerefmailred{red}\stylerefroad{539}{617}, green, bleu patch colors, and contrast B\&W images... some
times of course colored and what ever you want of course....
THINK about a moment of a little perfomance for 30 minutes, to make
muscicians do the soundtrack live.... (aether9 making images and
muscicians following)
the interface with 9 frames
dissolve interface
sometimes some of the frames black
abstract lines
the teams themselves can decide how to lay things out
hell they can move around in just one cell if they want too
IDEAS IN THE AIR of posible STRUCTUREs FOR THE JAM
For the JAM I have being talking to musicians to see if they have an
structure to follow. Because i think it is very nice to have knoledge
of that to prepare something for aether9.
1. One of the musicians will base his part of the JAM direction
working with SILENCE in music.
2. Another one will work with a synth and use, from the computer,
algoritms like dinamic systems . That will not be repetitive sound
secuences. Some could take a long time, others not.
\stylerefmailthemes{random}\stylerefroadrwdonly{544} typical aether atmospheres
1. Writing in skype session , needs of noises, voices, music, strings,
punctual "bruitage".
2. Using colors as we have being doing, in frames we want to have
particulary "musicalised".Like in SIMON SAYS toy.

hi list,
so finally i created the first volume of the "aether9 proceedings" print
series, where the idea is to collect all the chat sessions occurring
before and during performances.
the first issue contains the chat logs of May 2nd and 3rd 2007, during
our first performance at Mapping festival 2007.
the PDF file is available here:
\hyphenatedurl{http://1904.cc/~aether/material/aether\_proceedings/}
i'm still going to revise this edition and add an Editorial Foreword /
Introduction and Conclusion / performers list ... tell me if you have
suggestions of what else could/should be included there.
more to follow!
best,

read the publication PDF - i really enjoyed it. partially nostalgia of course, but i really appreciate how the tech discussion is interwoven with script/concept discussion and also occasional absurdities. these processes cannot be clearly divided (or categorised seperately as such) and i think it comes out wonderfully in this chat (also there is a nice culmination to the performance - whilst being an anticlimax).

Don't fret Chloé,
Manuel experienced the brunt of the term "Filipino Time"
Its an island mentality where things always seem to start
go or arrive later than proposed or expected. I had figured
this would happen so I did not want to burden everyone with
rehearsals and other meetings.
I've been on \stylerefmailchat{chat}\stylerefroad{562}{589} with Tengal since the festival and
everything seems to have worked out for the best. It
really was the biggest international symposium in that
lower region of Asia every assembled and Aether was
a big part of it. All the weird technical communications
issues and lack of proper \stylerefmailcash{funding}\stylerefroadfwdonly{541} aside it really was
a Success for the region. I have been involved in
earlier symposiums where they were not much more
than a website and mailing list. This one had real
events and exchanges.
They had lots of fun listening to Manuel do his presentation.
Even though we had communications issues and we started
\stylerefmailslow{slow}\stylerefroad{545}{611} the large audience still did enjoy listening to Manuel
count backwards. All those Filipino artists and students
hardly ever hear European accents. Its always Hollywood/TV
american english.
So maybe we could all go to the Philippines in the flesh
next year with any new \stylerefmailcash{grant} \stylerefmailcash{money}\stylerefroadrwdonly{545}? I go there regularly
so I wouldn't need a ticket. I'm sure that \stylerefmailcash{free} housing
would be available then too.
Also sincere apologies to Vinny who was streaming to
dead frames 7-9. We will be sure to Specify that those
cells are not working when we use the SEXTET. maybe we
could create a warning or flag in the \stylerefmailpatch{Patch}\stylerefroad{545}{595}.
Thanks to everyone that participated via streaming and or
just piping in on the list.
now on to -> Berlin \& then cimatics?

- HOW?
Determine the way we are going to discuss:
> are we going to have a moderator? (A person who takes care that anyone has
the opportunity to express and also refrains us to spend more time than
necessary on each subject)
> are we going to work in small groups or alltogether?
> How much time do we give for general matters and separate topics / how
much time for the performance developpment itself.
> regarding the performance, knowing how long it takes to develop a
performance, it might be good to define it before the actual meeting and
start working on it before, in order to spend more "practical rehearsing
time" than brain-storming/developpment time.
> should we make a schedule with morning, afternoon and night sessions ?
- PREPARATION OF BERLIN
In order to have clear and efficient discussion, we propose to reflect
before the Meeting. Here are a couple of propositions FOR EVERY PERSON WHO
WILL ATTEND THE BERLIN MEETING (physically or remotly):
> reflect on the above subjects.
> if you have a performance idea, summarize it (setting, story, aesthetic,
or any other feature)
> prepare a small selection of screenshots (maximum 5) of your favorite
aether9 moments (that you find inspiring, beautiful, interesting or
whatever) and explain why in a few words (to be presented and discussed at
the begginging of the Meeting)
!!! THE IDEA IS NOT TO HAVE BIG MAILING-LIST CONVERSATION NOW !!! We have
the \stylerefmailthemes{chance}\stylerefroad{545}{623} to have a physical meeting to communicate more directly. The idea
is to prepare this meeting according to the subjects we would like to
discuss, and anyone who has strong wish to discuss any aspect of the aether9
should express it before, so that we are ready to interact.
OK ?
See you soon,
Chloé (\& Boris)

in addition, i spoke to cym yesterday (IRL!!) and she might be coming as

one of the things i have always liked the most about aether is its non-slick, stop-motion like and pixelated aesthetic. for me this challenges many important hypes:
-the constant 'newness' of new media (higher speed, more pixels, faster cpus, etc)
-the ever higher resolution (which in the end is simply not accessible for most of the world which is also an important aether9 concern)
and most importantly misguided idea that these things contribute to the value of the message.

FYI, here is another short compiled version of our press-text, can be useful to send around:
*****
rupert goldsworthy gallery is premiering an aethereal performance, a wildly dispersed yet intimate collision of live sounds and images.
Developed by an online networked group of international visual artists/collectives working through Oceania, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and into the Americas, aether9 is a matrix for video/audio performance, the foundations being distributed authorship, cross-platform, and 'remote' performance of streaming audio and visual material to a nomadic web interface.
>From October 26th to 31st, an intensive real-life residency of members of the aether9 group is held at at \_\_\_\_\_-micro research [berlin], where the artists meet in physical space for the first time.

[shell] is buggy, i can tell from personal experience but just read
the ml to confirm if in doubt.. i have replaced it in the locus sonus
stream patched by [popen] that is part of the moonlib libraries.
other suggestions could use pdlua or pyext. it all depends how simple
or complex is what you need to achieve.

about aether9
Aether9 is a collaborative art project exploring the field of realtime
video transmission. It was initiated in May 2007 during a workshop at
the Mapping Festival in Geneva, Switzerland. Developed by an
international group of visual artists and collectives working in
different locations (Europe, North and South America) and
communicating solely through the Internet, ther9 is a framework for
networked video/audio performance, and the collaborative development
of dramarturgical rules particular to Internet modes of \stylerefmailchat{communication}\stylerefroad{595}{606}.
The system functions as an open platform for participants of any
technical level to transmit imagery in real-time and interact through
a structured narrative performance questioning the issues of presence/
absence, remote/local, identity and intimacy in the context of the
electronic space.

myself. if you agree with this pattern (or would like to think about it with
me), it could be used for future developpment or for workshops. By the way,
I would be interested to lead workshops to guide performance developpment
part, without taking part myself. Would be interesting!
(In addition, I am now starting a project were 100 people are creating a
part of a parade, me and another guy being the artisitic coordinator who
will eventually "stage direct" and write what comes out from all these
imputs...) :
\_ NEEDS FOR A PERFORMANCE:
* one person doing only continuity \stylerefmailchat{chat}\stylerefroad{597}{624} and looking at the interface
* one person doing music only
* one voice person doing the narratives
* each image-uploader should deal 2 frames maximum, not more, in order to be
really aware and creative, and especially in order to be FASTER.
\_PREPARATION: how to write an efficient script step by step:
* brainstorm around a thema connected with smth actual, happening now.
think of images, not ideas. think of interaction of frames.
>> there are very efficient techniques of brainstorm. I learned some
recently and think we should try them on. you can have a first collection of
homogenoeous idea in not more than 3 hours.
* more accurate brainstorm with maximum 4 people, ending with 4 propositions
for a performance-
*1-2 persons, after discussion, write final proposition
* 1 person write the text (the story to be told, it can be a poem, whatever,
but must be entertaining for the lenght of the performance)
* others organise a general disposition of interface, coherent with the
story and esthetic/ image choices.
* rehearsal: absolutely necessary to do at least one with *everybody*.
thank you all and see you soon aetherians,
Chloé, analisa, c3cil and the others

yes it was nice
even remote i felt really close to you all
especially at the rehearsal
but on to the issues to be resolved.
something has to be done about the uploading problems
it plagued us in lebanon and really killed the final minutes of berlin.
did we just have too many people viewing the website for Berlin?
I'm assuming this is the root of the problem.
i was able to stream only after restarting max and then deleting the
dummy (0kb) images that were writing incorrectly on our servers.
but this would only fix it for a minute. There would be write
errors immediately after. This was happening to those trying to
fix the locked hand and credits frames at the end of our performance.
There must be some way to verify the capacity of our servers and
anticipate the number of viewers we have for each performance.
the patch does give a red light and an 'error writing image" message.
however, there must be a way to prevent this from happening.
streaming for me worked fine during rehearsals when no one was viewing
the webpage. But it seems like now that we have a good audience
its impossible to perform because you can't stream when too many
people are viewing the interface website. It seems all of our
servers chrash during the performance from too much traffic.
Is my assumption correct? If not there must be some other way
to correct these upload issues during our performances. It can't
be on my end as my isp was not having any problems.
we have some time before manuel's \& vinny's shows. We should really
try to correct this issue before then.

It feels like we are more in a digestive moment of our culture of images, narrative, questioning simultaneity in the global world, the real output is not yet there.
It feels also we are squeezed between the contradiction of doing real experimentation and being entertaining.

hi Aethers ..
Sunday is ideal time for a meeting / checks / rehearsal .. [ please ,
even if some of you are available ]
Monday performance in Adelaide , we are on at 8.30pm Adelaide time
and play till 9.30 pm , ie
Adelaide (Australia - South Australia) Monday, December 7, 2009 at
8:30:00 PM
Brussels : Monday, December 7, 2009 at 11:00:00 AM
please calculate your local times .. checks will start earlier ..
So far the tests i have done , with the wi fi available in the venue
[ 1-3 Mb - bandwidth ] and mobile broadband/ USB modem ( varies but
often less than equal to 1Mb bandwidth ) ... " \stylerefmailslow{slow}\stylerefroad{581}{622} is the word .. "
I will be using 3 computers in Adelaide with individual internet
connections ..
1) Projecting Aethers interface : i would suggest , please remove
the audio stream .. Atleast for the interface that we use to stream
in venue . At the moment , whats streaming on 1904.cc , takes long
time to playback images properly .. there is a long buffering time ..
For me in Sydney , its totally fine , because i am on 15Mb+ bandwidth ..
For online audience we can make an interface that consists of all the
content < which needs faster internet ..
2) To playback my AUDIO[ Syd] in Adelaide : What are your
suggestions , i can use Ustream , Live stream or icecast/ Giss Tv
setup using \stylerefmailpatch{pd}\stylerefroad{595}{617} ..
What you suggest ?
3) Stream AV from the performance space in Adelaide
I will write you more soon , please reply, your thoughts n
suggestions . Sometime today i will send invites .. people in
adelaide are excited and it has been advertised properly over there ..
i have been spending way too much time at work , so apologies for not
writing much , i read all your emails , and maintain the circuit of
thoughts , inside me ..
Talk to you all soon , beautiful friends ..

Adelaide performance

Hi all,
for the Adelaide performance in a couple of hours, some important points:
* the frameset has been modified -- i removed the two "weak servers", nr
4 and 5, that we struggled with during the berlin performance. at the
moment i write this, those frames should show black, with an occasional
\stylerefmailred{red}\stylerefroad{545}{3} or blue monochrome appearing.
If you recently accessed 1904.cc, you might use this direct link to make
sure your browser doesn't show you an old version:
\hyphenatedurl{http://1904.cc/live/frameset\_09\_adelaide/}
* this means of course that i updated the \stylerefmailtech{server}\stylerefroad{595}{619}-list, included with the
\stylerefmailpatch{Max}\stylerefroadfwdonly{619} \stylerefmailpatch{Patch}\stylerefroadrwdonly{611} -- the new list is included with the newest patch, nr 400.
You find it here:
\hyphenatedurl{http://1904.cc/~aether/kode/max\_image\_upload/}
The password of the z7/rar archive is the "old" aether password, the one
that's easier to remember.
Meet you in 10 hours:)
Best,
Manuel

report: Adelaide performance + future
\styleinfos 1.1
08.12.2009
\stylemail
Hi all,
Some short report about the Adelaide performance, to which the Aether9
team contributed:
The project was coordinated by Vinny Bhagat (aka Shivnakaun), who was
streaming live electro-acoustics from his studio in Sydney (transmitting
through giss.tv from a \stylerefmailpatch{puredata}\stylerefroadrwdonly{617} \stylerefmailpatch{Patch}\stylerefroadfwdonly{624}).
The stream was (supposedly, I didn't hear it) accompanied live
on-location in Adelaide (at The Wheatsheaf Hotel, 39 George St
Thebarton) by Kym Gluyas on saxophone. The aether9 interface was
projected and visible to the live audience.
The Aethernauts who generated the visuals:
Christiaan Cruz, Dhanya Pilo, ideacritik, Manuel Schmalstieg, Maria Fava
This was the first participation in the aether9 project for Maria Fava
(aka eskoitaus), located in Nice (N3krozoft members will remember her
from the CeC festival last February, where she was VJing).
The visuals were fully improvised. The performers decided to restrict
themselves to a black/white color palette for better graphic coherence.
Also, due to the little number of Aethernauts, only 4-5 frames of the
interface were used.
We didn't encounter any technical / \stylerefmailtech{upload}\stylerefroadrwdonly{617} speed issues this time.
Except ideacritik who was still unable to upload to frame 5, although
the \stylerefmailtech{server}\stylerefroadfwdonly{624} feeding this frame has been changed. Very mysterious.
