art.xxXtenxion 2008 - Overview


Mixed Reality + Bastard Spaces
Breathtaking developments in new media offer new gateways to the work of artists. Used as archive, for presenting works, for linear communications it now unspools new horizons coined as web 2.0. The artist takes position in networks and virtual environments which are still emerging from very basic make believe worlds into more immersive environments of the future. Active participation lights the way to a real glocal approach or to speak with Stephan Doesingers Bastard Space Manifesto: "Ambition and artificial light are the strongest building materials!“ and : "Public space is a media construction.“ art.xxXtenxion 2008 offers workshops, videos, lectures, talks and a mixxXed reality scenario.
art.xxXtenxion 2008 focuses on exchange, participation and insights behind the stage. art.xxXtenxion 2008 international artists-in-residence and guests project.

Die atemberaubende Entwicklung der neuen Medien bietet neue Perspektiven für die rbeit des Künstlers. Der Computer wurde bisher weitgehend als Archiv- und Präsentationsmedium und zum Zwecke der linearen Kommunikation eingesetzt. Die bahnbrechenden Veränderungen der letzten Jahre, die heute der Einfachheit halber unter dem Etikett Web 2.0 zusammengefasst werden, eröffnen neue Horizonte. Die Präsentation und Publikation eigener Werke (YouTube, MySpace), Radio- und Audiokunst (Podcasts), der rasant wachsende Online-Handel mit Kunst und das vernetzte und globale Zusammenarbeiten sind mittlerweile selbstverständlich. Künstler beziehen Stellung in virtuellen Welten, die noch rudimentär und spielerisch daherkommen, aber bereits andeuten, welch ungeheures Potential in der rechtzeitigen glokalen Positionierung steckt. art.xxXtenxion 2008 bietet aus diesem weiten Feld neuer digitaler Möglichkeiten verschiedene Workshops, Filmprogramme, Vorträge, Gespräche und einen abschließenden Mixed Reality Event. Der Fokus des internationalen Medienkunstsommers, heuer zum ersten Mal von der Medienwerkstatt des BBK Niederbayern/Oberpfalz ausgerichtet, liegt auf Austausch, Beteiligung und dem Blick hinter die Kulissen mit internationalen Gastkünstlern (Artists-in-Residence) und Gästen. So bietet sich in Regensburg die Möglichkeit, hautnah dem state-of-the-art zu begegnen.

Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoeia

Andreas Müller aka Bingo Onomatopoeia
started exploring the sonic universe with a tape recorder as early as during elementaryschool, when he tried out things from a book on tape-experiments from the school‘s library. During his teenage years in the eighties, while playing in noisy bands, he started publishing experimental tracks through the international tape-trader scene. His latest works were contributions for Das kleine Fieldrecording Festival in Regensburg and Berlin, Ljudrum in Eskilstuuna/Sweden and several Placards, mainly under the name Transponderfish. With his avatar Bingo Onomatopoeia he researches the creative potential of the virtual reality in Second Life: by networking, collaborating with other artists, building instruments for the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse and by performing with these.

Eine andere Spielart sind angewandte Videos, das sind Projektionen für Kino, Installationen und Ausstellungen. Giallo aus dem Triptychon „L‘Uomo Che Guarda“ nach Tinto Brass und der Rausgroover Valentino 4 Andy.

John Smith - British Avantgarde Cinema

Donnerstag, Juli 17, 20:00, Kino Wintergarten im Andreasstadel
presented by Deniz Johns
with the friendly support of LUX London

Deniz Johns führt ein in die Arbeit von John Smith, der seit Mitte der 70er Jahre mit Video, Film und Installationen internationale Berühmtheit erlangte. So ist diese kleine Auswahl mit drei Filmen eine Zeitreise durch verschiedene Perioden seines Schaffens.

John Smith is one of the greatest avant-garde filmmakers of England. He has made around 40 film, video and installation works since 1975. His films have been shown internationally in cinemas, art galleries and on TV. John Smith‘s cinema is hard to describe, it moves accross the categories and boundaries of fictional narrative, conceptual art and documentary as well as various forms of other avant-garde cinema. The Girl Chewing Gum (1976 UK), probably Smith‘s best known film, is one of the finest examples of British avant-garde films. It explores the link between image and sound, and while enjoying the power of language he questions their relation. And as in his many other films humor arises from this kind of exploration. Om (1986 UK) In this four minute film Smith plays with the spectators aural and visual expectations in a very powerful and humorous way. Museum Piece (2004 GER) is the second episode in the Hotel Diaries series, a collection of video recordings made in various hotel rooms in different countries some of which are Israel, Palastine, Ireland and Germany. This video piece while being a personal film also is a reflection on social and political issues. Museum Piece is the winner of Best International Short Film prize at Cork Film Festival, 2005
