SATELLITE VOYEURISM
Workshop Call
SATELLITE VOYEURISM - Workshop Call :: July 20 - 22, 2007 :: Hartware MedienKunstVerein at PHOENIX Halle Dortmund, Germany :: limited to 12 participants :: Application Deadline: June 29, 2007.
The Workshop Satellite Voyeurism addresses questions of production and reception of satellite images. In addition to public lectures by international media artists, committed scientists and commercial companies' representatives of the regions' geo-data industry, a two day workshop program with up to 12 participants takes place. Within the hands-on part the participants learn how to use a simple antenna, computer, soundcard combination to retrieve satellite images of NOAA satellites, and share own ideas and projects with the other participants. Both lectures and workshop discuss the image quality of satellite images but of course the subject will also touch upon the field of locative media, as GPS, GIS.
Through the workshop the basis for a publication shall be created, which includes documentation about recent media art projects in the field of mapping, satellite images and satellite technology.
The workshop is open to 12 participants. Participants will get free accommodation and depending on the distance we can partly support the travel costs. There is no workshop fee. With the participation in the workshop the participants agree to actively support the production of a documentation (deadline for texts October 15).
In order to apply for the workshop, please let us know, why would you like to like to participate, what's your field of interest, and what exactly you would present to the other participants. Please also send a short CV. All material to info[at]hmkv.de.
The workshop is funded by Der Ministerpraesident des Landes NRW, LAG Soziokultur NRW, and Kulturbuero Stadt Dortmund.
