Paul O’Neill -Spectator Curating Subjects, curating architectures, on getting away from the white cube ideal. He had done that in the past, his curatorial difficulties with this resulted in his later shows on juuxtaposing works.

Axell Lapp Cat chasing its tail. Addressing what is research, and what isn’t. So a curator can get three rare pieces together, and this is a wonderful research thing eg Subversive Spaces at Whitworth Gallery. This is a novel experience, fascinating. It may not be interesting as a catalogue, but the reality of the show is. There are interesting things done with research, and if is dull we will forget about it.

Uncurated artist works
24Hr museum, Public art, It was destroyed after 24hrs, (())

Jeanne Van Eisb “Blue House”, a place for artsits, philosphers, people interested in finding out about city planning. Artists making cultural institutions.

Acting Curatiationally…rather than being a curator.

Avoidance of defining oneselfs practice.

Jamie talks about his fascination with tesla, and progression to his exhibition at exit art (Art Generator), his GhostBus Tour, an urban exploration of New York through the film Ghost Busters.

This idea of cultural references, there is more to it than he thought.

Standard research practice, but tapping the wierdness that is New York, how to rethinking the spaces you inhabit. Through  orthodox jewishness, New York, a space where people could work on the sabath.

Media ownership, how can you create your own copyright policy, a plain language copyright, “please do not sue us”

ChipTune Marching Band. Hippy loving music, but electronic, participate in a creative ecology. Is it like a fluxus kind of thing?

Research as immersion, what he is interested in is exploring the constellation of ideas, but in a direction of rendering, of making works.

Teaching by overwhelming

Thinking for doing requires instantaneous documentation, fast turnaround time, however it does require environments.

Now is the 10questions in 10 minutes (Sarah)

who is the we? collaborators / curators

what is the generation? Y him with lego watching ghostbusters

what audience did that piece (Ghost Bus Tour) attract? that generation….people had fun

what is the longevity of that piece? it continues online, it dosent feel done, but it is done

ethnographic aspects of the chiptunes? Need a deigned workshop, not just learning but having a learning experience that is shared. (cult like?). New linkages made. Workshopped performance is a new one.

Intent is still that the workshp happens, but that it could also happen as an instructable, as a series of resources. But would it be as fun as DIWO.

OCD/Overengineering what is it?

Jamie cant/wont necessarily characterise the stuff that came out of chiptune, but Aretti will use her ethnographic tools to unlock and analyze this work.

Performance

How do you explain what you do to someone in a hot tub? He is a designer of experience, creates new situations for helping people communicate with each other.

New piece : i love the internet and the internet loves me-Facebook database9dynamic idiosyncratic), text to speach9largely anachronistic), physical setup (variable).

How do you capture this piece,

• Chair: Areti Galani
• Maria Chatzichristodoulou aka Maria X, Doctoral researcher at Goldsmiths, lead a session including researchers in the field of music / instrument making. She talked about Performing Intimacy, situating digital practice in new venues

• • Kazuhiro Jo (University of Tokyo)- Talked about sinewave orchestra, of making a space and a technology for others to perform in/with. Jo is between the cultures, and explains that few artists in Japan dont write in english, and as such they dont figure in the tome of known works.
  • Adam Parkinson (Newcastle University) Talked about how he is designing new interfaces for him to perform as a ‘laptop musician’ that maybe curators in the context of live music is the job of the promoter.
  • Miguel Ortiz Perez (Queens University Belfast)Talked about using sensors in his musicianship, trying not to get hung up on the theory of the new music as much as making music that is fun (ie circuit bent / toy hacking  / making).
