Welcome back to SCOPE SESSIONS – a new year, a new location and new speakers!

We will start with a small introductory talk about SCOPE, ourselves and our project, our intention, network and focus. A good occasion to discuss strategical needs for future art presentations and the exchange between artists and audience.

Andreas Karaoulanis (bestbefore.gr) comes from illustration and Computer Science background. His current work deals with interactive media illustration and animation. In the scope session he will present a way to creating  visuals from hand made sketches and images, basically from scratch. Simple real time drawings can create some very interesting effects that later can be evolved to more complex and artistic results without any need of code. (Maybe a few Quartz Composer patches already built).

A technique that can be used in various forms, from live dj ing to theater and dance performances.

Software used VDMX ,a firewire camera plus lots of white A3 papers, black markers!

Christoph Rittweger (crittweger.net) will talk a little about “VVVV” and the stuff he made with it and if you are interested he can give an introduction on how to work with “VVVV”, so bring your books and/or a windows-emulator if mac and download “VVVV” at http://vvvv.org/downloads.

after our talks with Tarik Barri (VERSUM performance), Joost & Kees Plattel (Quantified Self Showcase – Hoofd Beelden) we now offer you a talk about the Creative Commons with a dutch protagonist: Sebastiaan ter Burg.

And by the way, there is a small sidekick to the great mapping of Electro Moon Vision, friends of us from Krakow/PL!

We hope you enjoy the film!

after a talk with Tarik Barri there we could have an interview with Joost & Kees Plattel, some Utrecht based guys having a very interesting piece of concept within a global data collecting movement! Enjoy!

FEEMOTE sessions #2: Joost & Kees Plattel – Hoofd Beelden – A Quantified Self Showcase

We invited attending artists at FREEMOTE festival to join us for informal talks. Because there was no internet on location, we couldn’t stream live, but recorded the interviews which will be published here, one by one.
