hi rasa ! 

on the one hand i`m interested in participating for the 

process-based 
>           architecture 
>         * media architecture / hybrid space
> -> [visible sound|audible light] public presentations and performances

we have a visible sound installation, caled "GATE III" (it`s now showing by the
RENCONTRES INTERNATIONALES PARIS/BERLIN - FESTIVAL from 18th to 28th february
2003 / paris)....

> 
> The 6th International ART+COMMUNICATION festival will comprise a series of
> events from May 15-19, 2003 conceptually located at the intersection of

> > conference: media architecture
> 
> The Media Architecture international conference will take place in Riga,
> from May 16-17, and it will discuss how lessons from the social dynamic of
> 'virtual 'networks, can be applied to the creation of open, public physical
> spaces; continuing discussions on process-based architecture, hybrid
> spaces, and mainly focusing on GPS/satellite, mapping/positioning and
> wireless networks. 
> 
> > design concept and performances: light affair 
> 
> Taking place in a central, but derelict section of a section of Old Riga
> the theme of the transformation of place (both physical and virtual)
> towards more open, interconnected environments will be manifest in the
> conferences various facilities through installation include evening
> programmes of media synesthesia (visible sound/audible light) as well as by
> the official initiation of an ambitious engineering project for the
> creation of Media Space - a new headquarters for RIXC.
> 
> > closing programme: acoustic space lab
> 
> Finally, for the closing section of the festival, participants will be
> brought to the Irbene Ratio Telescope, a former Soviet military satellite
> dish (d=32m) where participants from the 2001 Acoustic Space Lab symposium
> will present their interpretations of data they gathered from scanning the
> planets, communication satellites and surrounding environment with this
> powerful telescope.

> 
> > follow-up workshop (on August 2003): locative media
> 
> The issues discussed during the 'media architecture' conference, on
> GPS/mapping/positioning technologies,  will form the basis for an
> international workshop entitled "Locative Media" set to take place in
> August 2003.  Attendees to the conference, 'location-based' in Karosta (an
> abandoned Soviet-era military city on the Latvian Baltic coast), will
> explore the radically disorganizing potential (social, spatial & temporal)
> of  ad-hoc wireless networking (for synchronization, interpersonal
> awareness & swarming), and use open-source mapping/positioning technologies
> to audioalize and visualize data in space!
> Once familiarized with the 'locative media' paradigm, the workshop's
> objective will be to develop the blueprint for a large-scale locative media
> event/installation for the RAM workshop series, for Riga in May of 2004.
> This symposium will involve a number of participants from the NICE network,
> who will be invited to experience this new interface (and to develop
> content); in so doing, the event will hopefully reveal future directions
> for the NICE  network.
