Importance of scores in electronic art

Posted by: sctv In: art|conference

Margaret Schedel, Elizabeth de Martelly 117 Realizing the Moment: Towards a Continued Role for Technology in Art.

The need for scores in art has become important in the preservation of the art. Video documentation is not the work, and does not recreate the work. It was interesting that one example that was used was that 9 evenings. If there had been a score for the pieces, they may have been able to recreate it. Wish she had Variations VII has been recreated this year at AVFest08.

Margaret Schedel describes one of the works she made as part of her study and the process that is involved in making a score for this piece. She admits that of course making scores is not fun, but it is important and allows the replaying of the work, or at least the intent of the work. This may be why there are so few scores of electonic arts. Too rigid scores are almost as bad as no score.

PDF import and editing in openoffice
One function I have found useful in openoffice is the ability to import pdfs. This is possible by downloading and installing the pdfimport plugin. This means that you can import a pdf, edit it then output it at a lower resolution for screen. (0)

In the foreground is a Tetsuo Kogawa version (built during RadioCraftLab, during AVFest08) and in the back the remix by sonodrome (built last week at Sonodrome Central). Both assembled by me.

Bioplastic
Jay Cousins and friends had a hackday around bioplastics and laser cutting. Making the bioplastic from starch and glycerin (see this link for more details) and then laser cutting them. Cool stuff, they were even making different color ones. This is important as people move from using commercially sourced plastic in their makerbots to something else. Plastic is expensive to buy for these machines, but it is all around. SO be it bio-plastic or post waste plastic, ways of reusing these provide a compelling reason to throw away less waste. It is amazing that these materials are coming out of the factories, to be used in domestic situations. Together with polymorph and sugru, there are a variety of materials to play around for wearables, for prototypes and one offs. Bring on the future, with peer production.

augmented foraging - cool use of layar -

augmented foraging Originally uploaded by _foam A mobile phone guide to edible urban wild-food sources.

Amsterdam urban_ edibles is developing Augmented_Foraging, a mobile phone guide to wild-food sources using Layar. Much better use of this program than finding property in Amsterdam (unless you live there of course)!
