This special edition of Upgrade! will feature a talk by Juan
Pampin about Simultaneity: Entanglement, the current installation
at 911 and SOIL gallery. In this exhibit, a hyper-directional
sound beam joins the acoustics of the two galleries, allowing
participants at both sites to engage in a dance of audible feedback.
This collaborative installation is part of the Ultrasonic Sound
Beams in Media Arts research project, supported by the Center
for Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS), University
of Washington.
We are also proud to introduce John Conomos, a media artist,
critic and writer, and Senior Lecturer in film and new media
studies at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney,
Australia. John will present Chris Marker and New Media, a chapter
in his new book Mutant Media.
John Conomos was founding editor of the time-based media arts
journal Scan+ and editor, with Brad Buckley, of Republic of Ideas
(Artspace/Pluto Press 2001). Conomos’ videotapes and installations
have been widely exhibited throughout Australia, Europe, the
United States and Latin America. His work received an honourable
merit award at Berlin’s Transmediale Videofest’98,
and in 2000 he became a recipient of an Australia Council for
the Arts New Media Fellowship.
