The Programme

Creative Technologists Kisky Netmedia develop web and mobile systems in which the audience is the artist; the user is the content contributor. Kisky’s KATIE LIPS and TIAN COCKER discussed two of their recent projects; Treasuremytext.com and ipodscrubs.com

Treasure my text, Kisky Net Media

iPodscrubs.com is an experiment exploiting the motion of the iPod click wheel. It puts flip book style animations onto the iPod and is a growing resource for animators and artists.
Treasuremytext.com is above all a service for texters who use it to store their SMS messages online. It is also a project in which thousands of users are contributing their deepest, personal and private messages into a public space. What do people really send, and why do they want to keep this stuff forever?

BODY LANGUAGE, DAN GONEN

$44\13, MATEUSZ HERCZKA$ 44\13, MATEUSZ HERCZKA

MATEUSZ HERCZKA presented his latest project 44\13, a time-space analysis of a commuter train trip projected as 12 meters of moving image.

Keywords: aesthetisation of scientific tools, taxonomy and simple technical parameters appropriated as structure and conceptual frameworks, new possibilities of time perception, scientific visualization of common reality.

12 september 2006, Mediamatic Salon over het estetiseren van wetenschappelijke tools

The prints on DAN GONEN's clothing are the most noticeable element of his collection BODY LANGUAGE.
Printing on textile is the same to me as standing before an empty canvas you can fill with whatever you like. You can tell a story with it.
During the salon he presented his new website and some of this collection.

Tilda Swinton, Venice Biennale 2005

With Honore d'O, Saskia Bos, Mark Raidpere and Jarman-star and Hollywood-diva TILDA SWINTON.
