Spectrography project / Paris-Latvia

[Today I made a remote presentation via Skype/Powerpoint to the following event at the Point Éphémère art centre, Paris. Thanks to Adam Hyde for the invitation]



Spectrography project

SPECTROGRAPHY is collaboration between the RIXC Center for New Media Culture in Latvia and Ellipse artists organisation in France, which includes organising of the sound art residency programme RIX-STUDIO and international symposium on SPECTRUM CARTOGRAPHY.

The RIX-STUDIO will be located at the interesting art venue - the gallery space of Point Éphémère, on the Canal Saint Martin in center Paris. During the time period from October 25 - November 20, 2005, the RIX-STUDIO will host 2 groups of residency artists from Latvia and France. The specific task of residency include experimentation with mapping, radio waves, spectrum, mobile and location based media and to prepare audio content for live streaming performances.

From November 4 - 6, the culmination event of the residency project - the international symposium with participation of Latvian and French artists, as well as international remote speakers (via internet) is set to take place in RIX-STUDIO at Point Éphémère and online. The symposium will be focusing on setting up the context and creating the conceptual / theoretical background for "spectrum cartography" related thematics.
