I’ve been asked to give a keynote address on the first day of the Banff New Media Institute’s annual workshop “Interactive Screen“. The theme this year is “user-friendly is not enough!” and looks at web 2.0 and artist-run initiatives in creating interactive rich media content and platforms. I will be talking about My Own Private Reality and outlining some of the history of artists (unpopular professionals?) situating their work in relation to (amateur?) popular culture online. Check back for documentation! (Sarah Cook)

****************Please scroll down for English version *****
Der Videohoster YouTube zeigt am deutlichsten, wie fluide Kommunikation
über Bilder funktioniert und dass hierbei manchmal sogar Kunst entstehen
kann. Dabei dienen alle diese neu entstandenen Clipformen nur einem
Ziel: sich anderen mitzuteilen, mit ihnen zu kommunizieren und Einblicke
in die Leben der Anderen zu bekommen.
Die Präsentation von Birgit Richard, Professorin für Neue Medien in
Frankfurt am Main, stellt die in ihrer wissenschaftlichen Studie
herausgearbeitete Typologie vor, die man bei YouTube findet, und
navigiert durch die Clipsorten EgoClips, Skillz Clips, Art Clips,
Response/Battle Clips, FanClips, Virale Clips…
Die Präsentation ist Teil des Rahmenprogramms zur Ausstellung MY OWN
PRIVATE REALITY, die noch bis Sonntag, den 1. Juli 2007 zu besichtigen
ist.
*****************************************************************
The Video-Sharing website YouTube demonstrates most clearly how
smoothly communication with images functions and that sometimes even art
is created in the process. All these newly emerging types of clips,
however, serve one single goal: to communicate with others, to share
with others, and catch a glimpse of other peoples’ lives.
In her presentation Birgit Richard, professor for New Media in
Frankfurt am Main, introduces a typology of the material found on
YouTube, based on her own academic survey, and takes a tour through
different types of clips such as EgoClips, Skillz Clips, Art Clips,
Response/Battle Clips, FanClips, Viral Clips…
The presentation is part of the programme accompanying the exhibition
MY OWN PRIVATE REALITY, which is on show until Sunday, 1 July 2007.

upcoming conference on web 2.0 technologies
May 16, 2007re-posted from the SPECTRE list – This conference is in Amsterdam on the 30th and 31st of May.
Virtueel Platform invites you to attend the international conference
Cultuur 2.0. The conference examines the impact of a series of
developments known commonly as Web 2.0, including sharing, ranking,
rating, collective intelligence, the wisdom & the dumbness of crowds,
empowering software, social software, community applications.
The conference brings together the cultural sector and the online and
ICT world to share, develop and learn to use knowledge, ideas and
technology. Will a Web 2.0 approach really bring about new kinds of
cultural content or is this merely a question of a temporary hype?
Cultuur 2.0 is made up of two days. The first takes the form of a seminar, in which the Web 2.0 way of thinking is taken apart,
questioned and applied to the current cultural climate and policy
development. To assist us on this journey will be international
speakers including Charles Leadbeater
(http://www.charlesleadbeater.net), author of the forthcoming ‘We
Think, the power of mass creativity’, Internet pioneer Bob Stumpel
(http://www.result.com), Internet entrepreneur Boris Veldhuijzen van
Zanten (http://www.fleck.com) and Andrew Keen
(http://www.aftertv.com) who will be joining in via ‘video
conversation’. In addition a number of ministers from the former
‘Kabinet Online’ will debate on Professional versus Amateur
curatorship/publishing.
The second day of the Cultuur 2.0 conference on Thursday 31st of May
will be held in the form of a LAb.
In every Scenario LAb representatives of Web 2.0 and the Art/Cultural
sector will collide, work together, learn or maybe even melt together
as one.
The scenarios are: ‘Canon 2.0′ with the Rijksmuseum as a stakeholder,
‘Broadcasting 2.0′ with the VPRO, ‘Funds 2.0′ with Digital Pioneers,
and ‘Film 2.0′ with NFTVM. In addition there will also be an open
Scenario:’Lab 2.! 0©—’ lead by Willem Velthoven (Mediamatic). Guests
for this day are requested by invitation only.
A small exhibition has been put together showing examples of Cultuur
2.0 applications and cross-overs that coincide with the conference.
