Night Garden was een subtechnische indoor tuin die een relatie legde tussen nieuwe technologie, next nature, hedendaagse kunst en de consumptie ervan. Deze exhibitie duurde van 3 november tot 7 januari en bracht meerdere workshops, presentaties salons en zelfs eetgelegenheden met zich mee.

<h6>Wintertuin</h6> Mediamatic's wintertuin, de Night Garden, was een fauna vol techniek, kunst en eten, waarin de bezoeker tot een cybernetisch nachtdier transformeert. De Night Garden herbergde o.a. een robot productie atelier, een digitale alter-tuin, wetenschappelijke experimenten die het roepgedrag van bepaalde diersoorten onderzoeken, psychochemisch tuinmeubulair en een prototype voor een kiem-stampotjes restaurant. <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/14924/en/night-garden-bezoekers-maken-electronic-life-forms"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/226/14924-400-300.jpg" height="300" width="400" alt="" title="Night Garden, bezoekers maken electronic life forms" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - Night Garden, bezoekers maken electronic life forms - Mediamatic.net" href="/14924/en/night-garden-bezoekers-maken-electronic-life-forms">Night Garden, bezoekers maken electronic life forms</a> <h6>Deelnemende kunstenaars:</h6> Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau combineerden natuur, nieuwe technologie en een interesse in evolutionaire principes met een sterke beeldende en publieksgerichte esthetiek. In de Night Garden presenteerden zij het bijna klassieke Interactive Plant Growing, één van de meest opzienbarende interactieve werken van de vorige eeuw. <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/12832/nl/night-garden-at-mediamatic"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/645/12832-300-400.jpg" height="400" width="300" alt="" title="night garden at Mediamatic" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - night garden at Mediamatic - Mediamatic.net" href="/12832/nl/night-garden-at-mediamatic">night garden at Mediamatic</a> Wetenschapper en kunstenaar Felix Hess maakten een 'bloembed' van fragiele papieren vaantjes.

Night Garden, sub-technical indoor garden, links new technology, next nature, contemporary art and its consumption. And you can have a really great dinner as well! Open Thurs / Frid / Sat from 6 - 11 pm

Mediamatic's Night Garden, is teeming with technology, art and food. Visitors can expect to be transformed into a cybernetic nocturnal animal, build robots at a garden robot production studio, wander through a digital alter-garden, learn about mating call science, experience psycho-chemical garden furniture and eat at a prototype restaurant serving more than 30 sorts of sprouted micro-greens. The garden is open on thurdays, fridays and saturdays between 6 and 11 p.m. Participating artists: Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau combine nature, technology and a passion for the principles of evolution with strong visual aesthetics. In the Night Garden they will present their now classic work, Interactive Plant Growing, one of the most sensational interactive works of the last century. Artist-scientist Felix Hess in Vanes creates a flowerbed from fragile paper. Catching the tiniest air turbulence, the flowers produce a ballet, both spectacular and subtle. Especially for Night Garden, Mateusz Herczka developed Enhanced Bench, a garden bench that has a marked positive effect on those that sit upon it. Do you dare to be positively influenced? <a href="http://www.westerplatte.net/">www.westerplatte.net/</a> Ralf Schreiber (<a href="http://www.ralfschreiber.com/">www.ralfschreiber.com/</a>)and Christian Faubel (<a href="http://derstrudel.org/">derstrudel.org/</a>) produce small robots that shortly after their 'conception' begin to lead unusually autonomous lives. Autonomous for a robot, that is. During the course of the exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to solder their own small robots together and set them free in the garden. Debra Solomon opens the doors to her prototype Microgreen Sproutstaurant Grow yer own dang food, in which no less than 3 sorts of potato mash and 30 kinds of sprouts and cress provide the basis for a delicious tasting experience. Thursdays through Saturday guests can enjoy a plate of sprout mash in the Night Garden. 18.00 - 22.00h. <a href="http://www.culiblog.org">www.culiblog.org</a> Call +31 (0)20 638 9901 for reservations. The revolutionary multi-player game 'The Endless Forest' by Michael Samyn & Auriea Harvey allows players to physically leave the Night Garden and virtually tour a beautifully landscaped forest embodied as a deer. <a href="http://www.tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/">www.tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/</a> Petra Blaisse designed the Seattle Garden Carpets, a series of carpets for the Seattle Central Library printed with extremely large plant motifs.

Martin Butler zette vier menselijke avatars in om mee te spelen. Vanaf thuis kon je inloggen op een persoon van je keuze. Je stuurde de avatars aan en ontdekte wat je met hem of haar kon doen. De avatars waren beschikbaar op wo, do en vr van 20.00 tot 23.00 uur <a href="http://girlfriend.mediamatic.net">via deze link</a>. De avatars waren van 18.00 tot 23.00 uur ook live te observeren in hun Analoge Villa. Vanaf zes uur kon je dineren bij de avatars. Hun favoriete maaltijd: DIY Sushi, een concept van Debra Solomon/culiblog.org. Iedere avond ook workshops: Maak je eigen Sokpop en ontdek meer over je non- verbale flirtkwaliteiten.

<h6>First or Real Life?</h6> De onstuimige groei van online avatar communities zoals Second Life en World of Warcraft heeft ertoe geleid dat mensen in toenemende mate online een sociaal en economisch bestaan kunnen opbouwen. Tegelijk roept deze ontwikkeling vragen op over de aard van dit bestaan en de gevolgen die het voor omgangsvormen in 'first-life', het werkelijke bestaan, zal hebben. Wanneer je gebruik maakt van virtuele avatars kun je doen en laten wat je wilt. In The Girlfriend Experience moest je elkaar eerst aftasten. Speler en avatar onderzochten wat ze aan elkaar hebben en hoe ver de avatar wil gaan in het uitvoeren van specifieke wensen. Wie hier de controle heeft was misschien niet altijd even duidelijk. Je kreeg tien minuten om uit te vinden wat je met je avatar kan doen. Daarna was je tijd om en mag een ander je plaats innemen. De titel van het project, The Girlfriend Experience, verwijst naar het paradoxale karakter dat veel sociaal gedrag online heeft. Enerzijds de veilige anonimiteit van het gebruik van de avatar, anderzijds de intieme ontboezemingen en projecties van verlangen die zich makkelijker uiten. Voor Martin Butler is het precies dit samenvallen van twee schijnbare uitersten, anonimiteit en intimiteit, dat een belangrijk deel van het hedendaagse sociale verkeer typeert. De best betaalde prostituees zijn doorgaans die waarbij de klant zich voelt of hij bij zijn vriendin is, bij wie hij een Girlfriend Experience heeft. <h6>Een Impressie</h6> <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/13563/nl/the-girlfriend-experience-at-mediamatic"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/240/13563-400-309.jpg" height="309" width="400" alt="" title="The Girlfriend Experience at Mediamatic" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - The Girlfriend Experience at Mediamatic - Mediamatic.net" href="/13563/nl/the-girlfriend-experience-at-mediamatic">The Girlfriend Experience at Mediamatic</a> 2 van de 4 avatars van vlees en bloed, foto Willem Velthoven <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/13868/en/do-you-really-need-to-speak-so-loudly"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/091/13868-400-300.jpg" height="300" width="400" alt="" title="Do you Really need to speak so loudly?" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - Do you Really need to speak so loudly? - Mediamatic.net" href="/13868/en/do-you-really-need-to-speak-so-loudly">Do you Really need to speak so loudly?</a> 'Do you really need to speak so loudly?!', voorbereidingen voor de opening op vrijdag 26 januari 2007, foto Jans Possel <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/13869/en/playing-dress-up"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/185/13869-267-400.jpg" height="400" width="267" alt="" title="Playing dress up" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - Playing dress up - Mediamatic.net" href="/13869/en/playing-dress-up">Playing dress up</a> 'Playing dress up", foto Marco Wessel <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/13847/nl/using-the-girlfriend-experience-at-mediamatic"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/247/13847-400-300.jpg" height="300" width="400" alt="" title="Using the girlfriend experience at Mediamatic" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - Using the girlfriend experience at Mediamatic - Mediamatic.net" href="/13847/nl/using-the-girlfriend-experience-at-mediamatic">Using the girlfriend experience at Mediamatic</a> Opening van The Girlfriend Experience.

Martin Butler presented four human avatars to play with. You could log in at home with your character of choice. You could direct the avatar, explore the space and challenge him or her. The avatars could also be observed live in their Analog Villa on Wed, Thu & Fri from 18.00 - 23.00. You could also DINE with the avatars. Their favorite food: DIY SUSHI, a concept of Debra Solomon/culiblog.org. Every evening we offered workshops: make your own sock puppet and discover you non-verbal flirtings skills. <a href="http://girlfriend.mediamatic.net">Visit the avatars by clicking here: http://girlfriend.mediamatic.net</a>.

<h6>Real or First Life?</h6> The rampant growth of online avatar communities such as Second Life and World of Warcraft has enabled the creation of a personal online social and economic existence. Simultaneously this triggers inherent questions about this existence, as it questions what the consequences will be for first life, or reality. When you use virtual avatars you can do as you please. In The Girlfriend Experience you had to get to know each other first. Player and avatar explored what they can do for each other and how far the avatar wanted to go to execute specific desires. It was ambiguous who was really controlling the situation. You had ten minutes to figure out what you can do with your avatar. After that, your time was up and another player could take your place. The title of the project, The Girlfriend Experience, denoted the paradoxical character that online social interaction has. On one hand, the safe anonymity by using the avatar, on the other the intimate releases and projections that can spread easily. For Martin Butler it was this merging of two apparent extremes, anonymity and intimacy, which characterized an important part of contemporary social traffic. The best paid prostitutes are the ones with whom the client feels as though he is with his girlfriend, or with whom he has a Girlfriend Experience. <h6>An Impression</h6> <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/13563/nl/the-girlfriend-experience-at-mediamatic"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/240/13563-400-309.jpg" height="309" width="400" alt="" title="The Girlfriend Experience at Mediamatic" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - The Girlfriend Experience at Mediamatic - Mediamatic.net" href="/13563/nl/the-girlfriend-experience-at-mediamatic">The Girlfriend Experience at Mediamatic</a> <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/13868/en/do-you-really-need-to-speak-so-loudly"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/091/13868-400-300.jpg" height="300" width="400" alt="" title="Do you Really need to speak so loudly?" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - Do you Really need to speak so loudly? - Mediamatic.net" href="/13868/en/do-you-really-need-to-speak-so-loudly">Do you Really need to speak so loudly?</a> <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/13869/en/playing-dress-up"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/185/13869-267-400.jpg" height="400" width="267" alt="" title="Playing dress up" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - Playing dress up - Mediamatic.net" href="/13869/en/playing-dress-up">Playing dress up</a> <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/13847/nl/using-the-girlfriend-experience-at-mediamatic"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/247/13847-400-300.jpg" height="300" width="400" alt="" title="Using the girlfriend experience at Mediamatic" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - Using the girlfriend experience at Mediamatic - Mediamatic.net" href="/13847/nl/using-the-girlfriend-experience-at-mediamatic">Using the girlfriend experience at Mediamatic</a> During the opening of The Girlfriend Experience players enjoy having contact with on of the avatars.

Martin Butler zet vier menselijke avatars in om mee te spelen. Log thuis in op een persoon van je keuze. Stuur de avatar aan, tast de ruimte af en daag hem of haar uit. De avatars zijn ook live te observeren in hun Analoge Villa. Opening vrijdag 26 januari 2007 om 20.00 uur.

De avatars van The Girlfriend Experience zijn vanaf 26 januari 2007 op woensdag, donderdag en vrijdag van 20.00 tot 23.00 uur beschikbaar via de Mediamatic website. Op deze avonden kun je ze ook van 18.00 tot 23.00 in het echt zien werken in hun Analoge Villa, in de tentoonstellingsruimte van Mediamatic. De onstuimige groei van online avatar communities zoals Second Life en World of Warcraft heeft ertoe geleid dat mensen in toenemende mate online een sociaal en economisch bestaan kunnen opbouwen. Tegelijk roept deze ontwikkeling vragen op over de aard van dit bestaan en de gevolgen die het voor omgangsvormen in 'first-life', het werkelijke bestaan, zal hebben. Wanneer je gebruikmaakt van virtuele avatars kun je doen en laten wat je wilt. In The Girlfriend Experience moet je elkaar eerst aftasten. Speler en avatar onderzoeken wat ze aan elkaar hebben en hoe ver de de avatar wil gaan in het uitvoeren van specifieke wensen. Wie hier de controle heeft is misschien niet altijd even duidelijk. Je krijgt tien minuten om uit te vinden wat je met je avatar kan doen. Daarna is je tijd om en mag een ander je plaats innemen. De titel van het project, The Girlfriend Experience, verwijst naar het paradoxale karakter dat veel sociaal gedrag online heeft. Enerzijds de veilige anonimiteit van het gebruik van de avatar, anderzijds de intieme ontboezemingen en projecties van verlangen die zich makkelijker uiten. Voor Martin Butler is het precies dit samenvallen van twee schijnbare uitersten, anonimiteit en intimiteit, dat een belangrijk deel van het hedendaagse sociale verkeer typeert. De best betaalde prostituees zijn doorgaans die waarbij de klant zich voelt of hij bij zijn vriendin is, bij wie hij een Girlfriend Experience heeft.

Martin Butler presents four human avatars to play with. Log in at home with your character of choice. Direct the avatar, explore the space and challenge him or her. The avatars can also be observed live in their Analog Villa. Opening Friday 26 January 2007 at 20:00.

<ul> <li>with:<ul> <li>Martin Butler</li> </ul> </li> </ul> The avatars of The Girlfriend Experience will be available every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 20:00- 23:00. They can also be observed live in the Analog Villa, the Mediamatic Exhibition space. The rampant growth of online avatar communities such as Second Life and World of Warcraft has enabled the creation of a personal online social and economic existence. Simultaneously this triggers inherent questions about this existence, as it questions what the consequences will be for first life, or reality. When you use virtual avatars you can do as you please. In The Girlfriend Experience you will have to get to know each other first. Player and avatar explore what they can do for each other and how far the avatar wants to go to execute specific desires. It is ambiguous who is really controlling the situation. You have ten minutes to figure out what you can do with your avatar. After that, your time is up and another player can take your place. The title of the project, The Girlfriend Experience, denotes the paradoxical character that online social interaction has. On one hand, the safe anonymity by using the avatar, on the other the intimate releases and projections that can spread easily. For Martin Butler is this the merging of two apparent extremes, anonymity and intimacy, which characterizes an important part of contemporary social traffic. The best paid prostitutes are the ones with whom the client feels as though he is with his girlfriend, or with whom he has a Girlfriend Experience. related items: <a href="http://www.liminalinstitute.nl">www.liminalinstitute.nl</a>  The Girlfriend Experience - 2 of 4 flesh—and—blood avatars  The Girlfriend Experience - One of the four flesh—and—blood avatars is waiting for your behaviour suggestions in Martin Butlers The Girlfriend Experience at Mediamatic, Amsterdam.

<a href="http://puredata.info/">Pure Data</a> (or PD) is a graphical programming language for the creation of interactive computer music and multimedia works. This workshop is an opportunity for anyone to learn how to process and organize sounds, how to map and program physical interactions, video processing and networking possibilities using Pure Data. Pure Data is a free, open source software tool.

<h2>What and why?</h2> PD, originally developed by Miller Puckette in the 1990s, is currently an open source project and has a large developer base working on new extensions to the program. It has become a pioneering application in the contemporary art field. PD, just as Max, is a dataflow programming language. In such a language, functions or "objects" are linked or "patched" together in a graphical environment which models the flow of audio- or videodata or controldata (when you use PD to control the input or output of other hardware). In the workshop the participants will learn the basics of using PD, the basics of sound synthetisation and they will build their own PureData sound- video 0r control patches. <h2>Trainers</h2> <a href="http://obiwannabe.co.uk/">Andy J. Farnell</a> is a composer, open source software developer and computer scientist from the UK. Andy has produced many works for the BBC, film and game projects and some well known music bands. Furthermore, participants will be assisted by <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/person-13579-en.html">Kostya Leonenko</a> , who studied sonology at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. <h2>Participants</h2> Nerds, musicians, artists, programmers and designers. We'll start from scratch, so programming skills will not be required, but will come in handy of course. Participants will need some technical affinity. <h2>Workshop Report</h2> by <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/person-14616-en.html">Andy J. Farnell</a> For the first time, Mediamatic organized a Pure Data workshop. It was a big success! We invited <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/person-13823-en.html">Andy J. Farnell</a>, an experienced sound designer from the U.K to give a workshop about PD and how to use this with audio related matter. You can read his report below. <h2>Day One</h2> One of the most amazing things of PureData is that it is so accessible. Even people with no programming experience whatsoever, can build from scratch (very) basic patches after one day that make funny sounds when a key is pressed, or the mouse is moved. On the first day we looked at Pd types and components, floats, symbols and lists, and objects, numbers, sliders and so on. Starting with basic arithmetic we investigated making adders, counters and playing with a little trigonometry with sin and cos functions. We talked about the process of a Pure Data patch, how messages and numbers flow down the worksheet through objects and how to make them do so in the correct order by understanding evaluation order and triggers. <h2>Exercise 1</h2> The Beetle Race problem is to create a pair of counters that randomly advance to simulate a race. A solution is shown below that demonstrates the need for and use of triggers nicely. On the left at the top is a receive unit that picks up and displays a symbolic message after "casting" it to make sure it is a symbol. That display is used to show the winner of the race. When the GO button is pressed, a bang message passes to the trigger which sends the bang on to two further destinations in right-to-left order. The first of these is to a [0( message box. Banging this sends zero to both of the float objects used in the counters, resetting them back to zero. The other sends one to the metronome which takes over generating events. Each metronome tick causes both the counters to increment by a random amount between zero and three. To decide when one of the beetles has won the value of its slider is compared to 126, one less than the maximum value. If it's greater than 126 we assume it's the winner and stop the game. Then we send out the message to display. <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/222201/en/pop-up"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/297/14608-311-400.gif" height="400" width="311" alt="" title="Beetle Race" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - Beetle Race - Mediamatic.net" href="/14608/en/beetle-race">Beetle Race</a> We briefly discussed whether the game is fair, and the problem of determinacy and logic in computer games and simulations. Notes: The game is not fair because one player must always move first and there are a bagful of philosophical implications that can lead us into considering the nature of computationally generated random numbers, multi-processing and concurrency and all sorts of other things. Many of the group grasped this intuitively and made interesting suggestions to improve the game. In the afternoon we talked more about lists, GUI components, input and output using keys, joysticks and other basic HID controllers. <h2>Exercise 2</h2> To make a ball spin around but gradually slow down we needed to understand how to manipulate and divide time. By using a counter to keep track of how long the ball has been spinning we can change the rate of the metronome. When the speed of the ball drops below a certain point we want to stop the game. This happens when the metronome period is greater than a threshold, 200 in the solution shown. Two solutions are given in the Pure Data files here. One is a more elegant version that uses the properties of the latest version of sending, which can re-route its destination dynamically. For Pure Data versions less than 0.40 the other file that uses select should be loaded. <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/222201/en/pop-up"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/647/14611-400-338.gif" height="338" width="400" alt="" title="Roulette" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - Roulette - Mediamatic.net" href="/14611/en/roulette">Roulette</a> <h2>Day Two</h2> We looked at simple functions of time at audio rates, how to shape waveforms and what frequencies are created by doing so. Essential units like delays, filters, signal generators and tables came into play, so by lunchtime most of the group knew how to build basic synthetic sounds and how to load, save and process existing audio data. The first practical was to create a random melody generator as a musical toy. This refreshed the previous days work in the message domain as we explored how to control the pitch and amplitude of a single sine wave. Our collective solution that we worked out on the main screen is here. We had a little time to briefly look at HID, MIDI and other I/O devices. Here's an example of using <a href="http://www.obiwannabe.co.uk/html/workshops/mediamatic/patches/keyplay.pd">computer keys</a> to play notes, and a <a href="http://www.obiwannabe.co.uk/html/workshops/mediamatic/patches/theremin.pd">"Theremin"</a> using a joystick to control amp and frequency. After Lunch I spent a couple of hours on the principles of synthetic sound design. If the day had been longer, or less beer had been consumed the previous night, we would have moved on to games sound design proper, but the group felt an itch to get hands on playing with some musical uses of Pd, so we decided to move on to the final group project. This practical was to construct a drum machine capable of playing some rhythms using a bass, snare and hi-hat instrument. <h2>Exercise 3</h2> First we discussed the nature of each instrument, the frequencies and timbres involved and how we might add dynamics to shape our signals. The snare is an interaction between a tight skin, a coil that contacts the skin, and a beater/stick that hits out the rhythm. The sound is a composition of some pitched and some noisy waveforms, so we looked at how to use noise~ and osc~ units to build up a layered sound. The bass is a low pitched, more heavily damped skin, whose pitch is a function of the pressure of the beater on it. We considered FM and how we might move the frequency of an oscillator to best emulate the effect we wanted. Finally, a hi-hat is a pair of small cymbals that clash together and it has many high and complex frequencies. To get the sound of a hi-hat we thought again about what oscillators and noise sources could do together if we mixed and modulated them in different ways, and how those methods corresponded to physical attributes and actions. It was very interesting that every students/groups solution was unique. Music DSP is such a fun subject to explore because everyone comes up with a different twist that reflects some level of understanding. And because the goal of music isn't as precise as numerical DSP for industrial applications, every take is basically correct so long as it fulfills the broadly defined artistic aims. In other words, for me, the exercise was a resounding success, not only did everyone create a working instrument each one worked well and had peculiar parameters of its own.

Op deze avond kon iedereen zijn eigen sokpop maken en tegelijk meer leren over je non-verbale flirtkwaliteiten.

Tijdens de tentoonstelling The Girlfriend Experience organiseerden we flashy workshops 'Maak je eigen sokpop'. Je kon je eigen sok en alle andere onderdelen uitkiezen om een sokpop te maken die het karakter hadden wat je altijd al hebt willen hebben. We hadden witte sokken, roze sokken en nog veel meer. De originaliteit en speelsheid was bij iedereen uitermate aanwezig!! Make your own sock puppet a workshop for all the grown up children

On this wonderful evening we gave the opportunity to make your own sock puppet and discover more about your non-verbal flirting skills. After making a sock for ourselves, we met other socks and spoke sock-talk with them. It was everyone's guess what could come of it, sock love is one of the best kinds.

During <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/girlfriend">The Girlfriend Experience</a> we offered flash workshops like Make your own Sock Puppet. During the workshop, you were able to select the parts to make your sock puppet the character you always wanted to be. We had white socks, pinks socks, chocolate socks and more socks as well as a wide variety of string and yarn to emulate your hair. We also had many colors of eye buttons, but you could also bring some of your own materials for extra originality. - 4.90982 52.3758 ARTEFACT event workshop 1 http://www.mediamatic.net/id/14039 2010-12-22T15:11:03+01:00 Pre-valentijn flirting skills special Flirten met sokpoppen

Come and develop new ideas for radio experiences, using combinations of oldskool and newskool radio: broadcasting, online radio, microtransmitters, user generated content and more. In collaboration with Radio Rietveld.

<h2>What and why?</h2> With the developments in streaming online audio, podcasting, microtransmitters, multi-user VoIP chatrooms, (etcetera) our idea of what radio is has thoroughly expanded. Participants of this workshop design radio experiences for (interactive?) listeners. Workshop projects consist of homegrown content ideas for a specific combination of various older and newer 'radio' practices. A couple of projects will be chosen to be brodcast live on Thursday, Feb 15, by Radio Rietveld, which broadcasts and webcasts from Mediamatics' garagebox for the next three months. Participants can also learn to solder their own radio microtransmitter! <h2>More about Radio Rietveld:</h2> "Radio Rietveld at Stedelijk Museum" (RR.SMCS) is a temporary radio project broadcasting for 3 months 24/7 live on 105.6 FM in Amsterdam as well as on broadband internet stream (hosted by TheWaagSociety) for the international public. RR.SMCS wants to create a channel for audio art, sound related art projects, extraordinary and underestimated music as well as being a discussion platform and speaker's corner for a vivid discussion about art. <h2>Trainers and speakers</h2> <a href="http://www.lottemeijer.com">Lotte Meijer</a>, media designer, maker of the <a href="http://www.broadcastyourpodcast.com">Broadcast-Your-Podcast</a> project and the amazing <a href="http://www.wifio.net">Wifio</a> set.
