first stop in Malaysia

A very backyard pewter workshop was our first stop. I was not interested in the pewter, but the owner’s daughter was an at student and i really liked her work which was not for sale.

Of to Malacca for the day. Singapore immigration was huge, but Malaysia was a little more basic.

the last gasp …. almost

a colourful group of ISEAns gathered for the closing performances.

Unfortunately stumpy got caught on an invisible step and I managed to execute a score 10 faceplant. Poor Gavin and Priscilla and the local kiddy nearby were left traumatised by the sight of my flying horizontal through the air and landing face down some feet away.

No real damage (not counting pride) ,but had an early night in anticipation for a marathon session in the morning.

i love the cave man but i don’t have a picture

 

 

 

I am not a fan of Dr Lanfranco Aceti JUST because he is a fan of ME!  I am a fan because he is good looking and has impeccabe taste.

Lanfranco  is an artist and academic whose interdisciplinary research focuses on the intersection between fine art, film and new media technology from online platforms to Virtual Reality Environments (VRE).
He is specialized in inter-semiotic translations between classic media and new media, contemporary digital hybridization processes, Avant-garde film, Italian film and new media studies and their practice-based applications in the field of fine arts.

At the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London (UCL) he researched the inter-semiotic influence of visual emotive stimuli in avatars and the impact of technocultures (VRE and Social Networking) on the visual arts.

His theoretical and philosophical interests explore the issues of globalization, secularism, religious censorship and multiculturalism in relation to contemporary media and technological applications as possible platforms for reconciliation between East and West.

Currently lecturing contemporary art, new media contexts and technocultures on the MA in History of Art at Birkbeck College, he also is an Honorary Lecturer at the Department of Computer Science – Virtual Reality Environments at UCL and a Visiting Research Fellow at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

His talk was about emotional feedback….in THE CAVE……….and how he is experimenting with realtime emotional feedback potential. One quote i wrote down was “i trick the mind in virtual space”.  He is reseacrhing the emotion hidden behind the semiotic sign, and all i can say is I WANNA PLAY IN HIS CAVE!!

Mare Tralla

 

http://www.tralla.net/

Mare Tralla is an Estonian artist interested in the cultural differences of eastern europe from her perspective as an Estonian living in London but working between. She spoke of the history of feminist digital art in Estonia emphasising the contradictory ideas of local nationalism with the breakup of USSR at a time when there was general globalisation. She also expressed difficulty in defining cybefeminism.
