[Manu Luksch] & [Mukul
Patel] ambientTV - "Locative Ambivalence"
Artists Presentation:
‘We have demonstrated the ability to selectively deny GPS signals
on a regional basis, particularly when our national security is
threatened.’ (Lt. Jeremy Eggers, 50th Space Wing, Schriever AFB,
Colorado)
Manu and Mukul of ambientTV.NET will talk about the ambivalences
of location-aware connectivity by showcasing ambientTV.NET's series
of networked portable-media works. The narrative and technical framework
for their latest production, MYRIORAMA, was developed through a
series of works-in-progress: flipflop (wearable PC, real-time video
and audio manipulation and movement studies), TRyPTiCHON 1.0 (which
attempted an emotional mapping using GPS/mobile phones) and TRyPTiCHON
2.0 (dealing with a roamer's perception of space And its interpretation
through dance). MYRIORAMA (in collaboration with kondition pluriel)
explores position- And motion-tracking at widely different scales:
across the city, and inside. The venue. This dance piece uses locative
media to tell the story of an all powerful king who turns paranoid.
Bio:
ambientTV.NET is a crucible for independent, interdisciplinary practice
ranging from installation and performance, through documentary,
dance, and gastronomy, to sound and video composition and real-time
manipulation. We continue to develop social and technical infrastructure
and promote network architectures that facilitate alternatives to
current socio-political and economic formations. Techniques and
effects of live data broadcasting and transmission provide theme,
medium, and performative space for many of the works.
