Woody Vasulka concludes his conversations on the changing relationship between art and technology next Wednesday, September 3 at 6:00 pm at Santa Fe Complex, 632 Agua Fria St.

Each of those decades represents a distinct phase in the evolution of that relationship, says Vasulka. "It has been a dialogue with the machine that began in the political environment of the 60s with a time of continual interaction within an art community," he explains.

He explains, "We were looking for images that were not derived from the world in this earlier work. It was a generation of continual interaction between technology and art where we were learning, demonstrating, and building in a community of with a network of interests."

That almost communal time of social and artistic experimentation faded as computer-generated graphics overwhelmed art with hyperrealistic images and an emphasis on the technical rather than the artistic elements of creativity.

As "the idea of realism slowly came to dominate art in the digital era," Woody says, "the image itself took the dominant function and the contextual information lost its importance." As a result, art became dominated by computer needs like resolution and color spaces rather than the artist's vision.

The irrepressible artist believes the hyperrealistic phase is fading. He offers his "Dialogue with the Machine," which is how Vasulka refers to his coming talks at Santa Fe Complex, as a return to a more collaborative and experimental community.

In fact, he says that technology will expand the artist's horizons. Asking "is it the tool that limits you?," Vasulka calls the computer a variation machine that will let artists leap beyond historic constraints. In the 70s, he says, artists asked, "What happens between the frames?" and "Why 24 frames per second and not 1000?"

Today, with the variation machine, they can begin to answer those questions and more.

The process has begun, according to Woody. Santa Fe artists like Corey Metcalf and David Stout, he says, are heirs to the Vasulka traditions. They show that modern digital processes, once again, allow a reinterpretation of sound and sight.

Woody pioneered video art in the late 1960s. Born in Brno, now in the Czech Republic, he trained as an engineer before studying television and film production at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. He met his wife, Steina Vasulka, in the early 1960s and moved to New York City in 1965, where he worked as a multiscreen film editor, experimenting with electronic sounds and stroboscopic lights while pioneering the showing of video art at the Whitney Museum. Woody collaborated with Don MacArthur and Jeffrey Schier in 1976 to build a computer controlled personal imaging facility called The Digital Image Articulator. The Vasulkas have been based in Santa Fe since 1980. More information is available at http://vasulka.org/index.html

Special Showing's of Mary Lance' "Agnes Martin: With My Back to the World"

From the New York Times: 

"I'm very careful not to have ideas, because they're inaccurate," the artist Agnes Martin says in Mary Lance's touching documentary about her, but it's a lie. Ms. Martin was full of ideas, and she dispenses them engagingly in the course of the film, "Agnes Martin: With My Back to the World," made from 1998 to 2002.

Local documentarian Mary Lance' film has received great acclaim around the world -- don't miss this chance to see it here!

AGNES MARTIN: WITH MY BACK TO THE WORLD 
Produced and directed by Mary Lance 
Music by Steve Peters 

Special 2:00 PM Showings September 6th and 7th at Albuquerque's Guild Cinema

A groundbreaking documentary on the internationally renowned painter Agnes Martin.  Shot over a period of four years, from 1998 through 2002, Agnes Martin's ninetieth year, interviews with Martin are inter-cut with shots at work in her studio in Taos, New Mexico, with photographs and archival footage, and with images of her work from over five decades. In it Martin speaks about her work, her working methods, her life as an artist, and her views about the creative process. She also discusses her film, "Gabriel" and reads from her poetry and lectures. In keeping with Martin's chosen life of solitude, she alone appears in the documentary.

Education & Serious Games @ IGDA 9/10

There are several exciting things going on in New Mexico's game development community. Please take a look:

First, this month's Rio Grande IGDA chapter meeting will take close a look at educational games ("serious games" for adults as well as video games for school-aged kids). These kinds of games are one of the fastest growing arenas in interactive media, offering exciting opportunities for game developers. They are not only an important tool for classroom teaching and adult training, but they are also used in the health field, in advertising and a variety of other endeavors. Using real case studies, we'll be discussing lessons learned -- successful techniques that earn A's as well as badly-thought out approaches that garner F's. Special guest will be Carolyn Handler Miller, author of Digital Storytelling: A Creator's Guide to Interactive Entertainment and writer of numerous educational games. Also Janeen Anderson from Game Production Services will speak.

When: Wednesday September 10 2008
Time: 6:30 -- 8:30 PM
Where: The Art Center Design College
5000 Marble Ave. NE, Albuquerque NM 87110 (view map) (505) 254-7575
Room TBD, ask reception for directions
Cost: Free!

October's Rio Grande IGDA meeting will focus on teams developing games for the Microsoft Dream|Build|Play competition.

I'm also pleased to introduce our chapter's new program co-chairs, Jonathan Whetzel
(jhwhetz@sandia.gov) and Luke Nihlen (lnihlen@gmail.com) of Tenth Artist. Their energy and enthusiasm is already helping build our local game development community, and I think we'll be seeing even more exciting activities to come.

BarCamp Albuquerque 3: Sept 13 & 14th

Albuquerque BarCamp 3 is coming up on Saturday September 13th and 14th, 2008. As the name implies, this is the 3rd BarCamp we've seen here in Albuquerque -- and they continue to get better, reflecting the growth in talented web, software and technology professionals we've been seeing lately (it's pretty exciting).

And many of the top people locally plan to present this time out. Check it out.

What it BarCamp? Want to sign up? Read on below (from Reid Givens at the Refresh Albuquerque Group Site)...

What is BarCamp?

BarCamp is a conference unlike most all other conferences for two
reasons:
1. No one owns it or makes any money off of it
2. The attendees are the presenters

BarCamp is based on the simple idea that we are all experts. Why pay a
few so called experts to come in and talk when we have a wealth of
information right here? Besides, when we don't pay for speakers, we
don't have to charge for the conference.

Attending BarCamp doesn't mean that you HAVE to present (although you
probably know something some of us don't), but it does mean that for
at least a day you can learn something new that can affect your
career, and you get to see who else in the community is out there,
what they're doing and just plain have fun. Going to BarCamp was the
best thing I ever did for my career, and it created friendships that
have lasted years.

BarCamp is free and doesn't take a lot of time out of your life. Come
and meet designers, developers, marketers, usability experts and
anyone else that stops by. This year, lunch will be provided so you
don't even have to pay for food! You can't lose!

BUBONICON 40 this weekend!

Perhaps because it's been around so long -- this is really its 40th year! -- Bubonicon has been something newcomers like me (15+ years) don't really get. What is Bubonicon?

From Wikipedia:

Bubonicon is an annual multigenre convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico, typically held during the last weekend of August. It is the largest general-interest science fiction convention in New Mexico and among the oldest in the Southwest.

It's so popular, their site might actually be down at the moment... but it features an amazing mix of Sci-Fi, fantasy and speculative fiction writers, many of whom live right here in New Mexico. This year also features local folks like Steven Gould (Jumper) talking about the journey from book to screen, Laura Mixon talking about Storytron, and Hugo-nominated toastmaster Daniel Abraham. (And a lot more fun and craziness too.)

The event is relatively inexpensive too, so check it out (visit the website for more details).

Reminder: NM Filmmakers Showcase Tour

I'd almost forgot about this -- until seeing a few of these talented moviemakers again the other night. They're all good pieces to see -- and can be seen in some of the state's best venues -- check them out.

37 Signals Live Q&A (online) Wednesday

Image via CrunchBase, source unknown
The folks at 37 Signals have built a wide following for their products (basecamp, for example) and business practices among developers, programmers and entrepreneurs alike. Featured in WIRED and keynoting quite a few top conferences, they're also known for being irreverent and somewhat arrogant (but, you know, in a mostly good way).

Their book "Getting Real" though it focuses on building web apps has useful lessons not only for programmers but for anyone looking to quickly develop a product customers will want. From the book...

"Getting Real is about skipping all the stuff that represents real (charts, graphs, boxes, arrows, schematics, wireframes, etc.) and actually building the real thing."

This could be fun. From their newsletter:

Hey there!

We hope you'll join us tomorrow (Wednesday, August 13) at
11am central time for a Live Q&A session with Jason Fried

NM Technology Expo Luncheon (9/18)

One of the really cool things happening in New Mexico's technology world is that our different tech-related professional and industry associations are increasingly working together. Attendees are also in for a treat with Tom Chavez who returned a few years back for a venture workshop with NCIIA. He's an inspiring, dynamic speaker with a story well worth hearing...

New Mexico Technology Expo Luncheon

Albuquerque Grand Hotel – Airport

September 18, 2008

11:30 – 1:30 PM

Join us for an exciting story -Tom Chavez, CEO of Rapt Inc. will speak on “Technology Entrepreneurship: Making It Through the Obstacle Course”.

Tom realized every entrepreneur’s dream when his company, Rapt, Inc, was recently acquired by Microsoft – talk about success! But the real story is how he got there, from a self-described lower-middle-class family in Albuquerque, to Harvard graduate (all 5 siblings) to successful tech entrepreneur.

Rapt, Inc., the leading provider of advertising yield management solutions was recently acquired by Microsoft to be offered as a key component of their Atlas Publisher Suite. Tom says “The opportunity to join forces with Microsoft and see our technology flourish inside a much larger platform was too compelling to pass up. What makes it even more compelling is that Tom is an Albuquerque native.

Also representatives from our technology associations, New Mexico Bio, New Mexico IT & Software Association, New Mexico Optics Industry Association, New Mexico Solar Energy Association and the Nano Network of New Mexico will give an overview of the latest greatest tech developments in the State. These groups represent the industry clusters that are a significant part of New Mexico’s economic success.

that you (or someone from your shop if you have one) show up.

So go, right now, to http://www.barcamp.org/BarCampAlbuquerque and
sign up to attend. We expect businesses, freelancers and employees to
show up, and we should have presentations from designers, usability
experts, programmers and more, so there is surely something you will
learn or at least one new contact you can make.

Let's get together and have fun with our fellow web folks. Everyone is
an expert at something, so please take the opportunity to give back to
the community and lead a session. It's not formal, so have some fun.

I'll see you there!

EXPO NM Community Meeting this Friday

The future of "EXPO NM" is something many of us may not have thought much about -- but it will change (that's pretty much assured), and the question of its future direction could have major impact not only on the Albuquerque area, but statewide as well.

For those of us in the media community, there could be some big opportunities as well.

From the Democracy for New Mexico Blog:

Friday: Gov. Richardson Wants to Hear Your Ideas for EXPO New Mexico

Governor Bill Richardson has announced he'll hold a community meeting at 1:30 PM on Friday, August 8, in the auditorium at the African American Performing Arts Center on the State Fairgrounds in Albuquerque. He wants to hear directly from New Mexicans who have ideas for redeveloping EXPO New Mexico (see aerial photo).

“I want to hear from the public, including the private sector and neighborhood associations, to explore every option for renovating the state fairgrounds,” said Governor Richardson.

The Governor will be accompanied by EXPO officials, Finance Secretary Katherine Miller and local legislators, who will be available to the public for questions and comments about the state fairgrounds. The event will be moderated by Tim Keller, Senator-Elect from District 17, where EXPO New Mexico (the fairgrounds) is located.

Governor Richardson is interested in ideas that may include replacing Tingley Coliseum and the Downs Racetrack with a world class EXPO New Mexico Exhibit Center. In effort to maximize the use of the space, the State is open to considering alternative uses for the property, including community green space, multi-use buildings and commercial or residential development.

EXPO New Mexico consists of 237 acres within the city of Albuquerque and contains approximately 1,000,000 square feet of buildings and 7,500 parking spaces.

The community meeting will be held on Friday, August 8, 2008 at 1:30 PM in the auditorium at the African American Performing Arts Center on the State Fairgrounds. This event is open to the media and the public. We urge those who would like to attend, to arrive prior to 1:30 PM.

For more info on the process set out to garner redevelopment ideas, see the EXPO New Mexico website, this New Mexico Business Journal article and Request for Information (pdf) on Ideas to Redevelop the Property at EXPO New Mexico.
