Nancy Mauro-Flude is an artist and theorist who researches how we articulate the resonances and dissonances between performing arts and computer culture. Under various pseudonyms she actively works to fuse radical forms of open culture by introducing experimental pedagogy with a particular focus upon relatively conservative and weakly networked regions. She is a professor in the Communications and New Media Department, National University Singapore. Founder of Miss Desponias Critical Media Salon miss-hack.org and long term member of the https://genderchangers.org home brewed since 1998, working to actively change the ‘gender’ of technology. Involves projects such as: systerserver.net, eclectictechcarnival.org, TacticalMagick.net, Micriobites.me

Description

[Proposal Description. Try to keep it under 300 words, but more than 140 characters. Note that panels should follow a moderator / discussion format, with possible participation from the audience.]

Starlight is a wireless signal is a networked art work, a is a cosmogonic ritual, traces of code parsing through the network, are intertwined with translucent light images, in which tendrils and elements are evoked in the telematic tableau vivant. The work explores how we deal with the tensions of ephemeral collaboration and physical separation as we negotiate relationships of presence filtered through computational media and networks. Starlight is a wireless signal is a meditation it asks what it means to be human by giving a poetic account of how we automatically engage with ubiquitous transmissions. We have always navigated by the stars, and now as a species, we regularly and increasingly, habitually use networked communication systems (GSM, Bluetooth, Wifi, RFID, QR, AR, radio). These omnipresent transmissions and signals are a new kind of fictional species that exist with/in us. It questions what is happening now information technologies are building new habitats, cosmographies and cosmologies?

This will be a URL feed yet to be made.

+++ However here is a video of the work that was a live feed https://vimeo.com/66209403 but this will give an idea of it... However The piece involves performers and/ or participants from 2 locations Darwin and Tasmania in Australia streaming a live performance Via the Internet, which was broadcasted on 2 large screens in Sydney and Darwin.

Tech.

A script will be designed to run the live imagery for the show on specific hardware and at various display sizes. They may not run well in some browsers or on older machines. Please try using Chrome for best experience.

Hardware needed: - basic computer with wireless card or ethernet, connected to a with projector or monitor, as work is browser based

I need to redo the work on my server so URL not available I’d re make it / upgrade it for the festival if it was invited.
