Description of Workshops (All workshops in Porto - at UP and ESMAE-IPP. Exact location will be sent to the accepted participants) "Music Interactivity" Thursday Nov.1, 10:00AM - 1:00PM This workshop with begin with a 1 hour presentation on music interactivity from the perspective of longevity, preservation and re-performance. It will then present a broad history of music and audio interactive systems and repertoire. Max/MSP will be the primary software tool examined. # of participants: 30 "Music and Sound for Film, Video and Games" Thursday Nov.1, 3:00PM - 6:00PM This workshop will examine many aspects of the creation of music and audio. We will look at studio design, sound design processes, multi-channel audio systems, and the role of low/hi-end sample systems. Apple Logic Pro will be the primary software tool for exploring these concepts. # of participants: 30 "Drawing with Satellites" Friday Nov. 2, 10:00AM - 6:00PM Introduction to GPS Drawing: We will give a brief talk about GPS Drawing showing examples of our work and introducing the participants to GPS receivers and drawing techniques. Drawing on a large scale: Includes defining your canvas and learning to draw using basic navigation techniques and coordinating movement on the ground with the line drawn on the GPS receiver screen to create shapes, drawings and writing. "Exploring with GPS" The participants will create their own drawings, designs or graffiti in the park or on the beach. # of participants: 20 The City as a Canvas Saturday Nov. 3, 10:00AM - 1:00PM We will be using the shapes of the streets to make maps, draw or write, including ‘Methodical Mapping' - finding an interesting part of the town and walking around it to create a map, such as an ornamental garden, a bridge, or pattern of roads, and ‘Psychogeography' - mapping with repeated random instructions which provides an exciting and unusual way of exploring a town. Participants may wish to use a bicycle or a car, as long as care is taken not to be distracted by the receiver. Introduction to satellite navigation technology and GPS Drawing, with examples of using a journey around a town to make a map or drawing. # of participants: 20 Conductors Bruce Pennycook Professor Bruce Pennycook (Doctor of Musical Arts, Stanford, '78) is a composer, new media developer and media technology specialist. He taught at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario then McGill University in Montreal, Quebec where he developed undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Music Technology and held the position of Vice-Principal for Information Systems and Technology. Pennycook moved to Austin in 2002 and was appointed Senior Lecturer at UT Austin in 2004. He teaches in the Department of Composition, School of Music and in the Radio-Television-Film Department, College of Communication. Hugh Pryor "Hugh Pryor is part of a new breed of artists crisscrossing the planet, creating artwork on a par with the ancient Nazca line drawings of Peru." Wired Magazine In the year 2000 Hugh Pryor inadvertently turned the world into a giantcanvas after he drove in the shape of a 13-mile wide fish and recorded the journey with a GPS receiver. The New York Times says ­ "As if they were skywriting on the ground, the artists trace a route for, say, a gigantic elephant over the streets of Brighton. Mr. Pryor described their role as tool as well as artist. 'Using your position, you're the tip of the pen,' he said. They carry a hand-held receiver that calculates where they are and limns their movements on its tiny screen. Mr. Pryor has written a program that converts the raw logistical data, which can span miles, into a smaller digital image that can be shown on a screen-size canvas -- a Web site at www.gpsdrawing.com." An fun and exciting blend of technology, visual art and performance art, Mr. Pryor's programming has been utilized to create drawings by people of all professions and backgrounds. Hugh Pryor studied GPS and maps at the Royal School of Military Survey, and Animation at Farnham where he developed a keen interest in programming for exploring the aesthetics of scientific and natural phenomena to create innovative digital art. Jeremy Wood Born in San Francisco and raised in Berlin and Oxfordshire, Jeremy Wood now lives and works in London. He established the GPS Drawing project in 2000 to investigate physical mark-making with satellite navigation technology. He tracks his daily journeys to investigate personal cartography in the form of sculpture, video and print. He studied Fine Art at Saint Martin's in London and has shown works internationally in numerous solo and selected group exhibitions including at the Microwave International Media Art Festival (2002), Brooklyn Museum of Art (2004), and the Sonar Festival (2005&6). His works are included in museums, and in private and corporate collections, amongst them the University of the Arts and the V&A Museum. www.gpsdrawing.com Mais informação: UTA-Portugal partnership: http://www.utaustinportugal.org Festival PRÉMIO MAPA - arte e tecnologia http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~mapa/premio MAPA: http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~mapa
