I was a bit submerged recently and the reason is that I have been developing a software in MAX/Jitter for use with live-video at Klangwerkstatt 2006 which is happening tonight. Four performances of electro-acoustic music and images from three cameras, skillfully handled by Angela Mewes, Lisa Rave and Linda Kostowski . At Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin Kreuzberg, starting at 20h.
I’m at EPFL Lausanne in Switzerland this Monday and Tuesday to attend the second blogject-workshop! Nicolas Nova and Julian Bleecker who started this series at the Lift06 conference, were so nice to invite me to work in project groups on scenarios around mobile phones, cameras and glowing rabbits.

A still of my trajets-series has been published in the current issue of the Swiss Abstract-magazine which was curated by Ruedi Baur. The issue is titled “Le lointain n’existe plus” and deals with the shrinking world in its many facets.
While I’m very happy about the image having been printed, I’m less happy about the bad conduct of business that went along with it. Actually we were asked to make a magazine (for free of course) which they would then produce in small numbers and exhibit in the magazine’s own gallery. I made a 36-page magazine and provided them with the files but as soon as they had got it, there was silence. It’s ok to reject something but it’s not ok to take the data and then pretend as if that never had been part of the call, even upon direct inquiry. I stop ranting here. As I said, I’m happy to see part of the series published.
