Kota Ezawa at ATC

Submitted by ZERO1 on Tue, 2008-04-01 13:24

Kota Ezawa will present three new works in Superlight at the San Jose Museum of Art. He will be presenting his work Monday April 7th at The Art, Technology, and Culture Colloquium:

"Since its commercial emergence in the 1930s, animation in the United States was treated as a category of cartoons. Even animation that found its audience outside of the mainstream made use of stereotypical cartoon attributes such as narrativity and caricature. American artists Robert Breer and Lawrence Jordan were exceptions, producing bodies of work that investigate animation as a visual language outside the cartoon tradition. Today, thanks to consumer video and animation software, a growing number of artists in the US and elsewhere are reimagining animation as an art form on par with other contemporary art practices.

Marketing today is often little more than the equivalent of shouting on a street corner.

Submitted by ZERO1 on Mon, 2008-04-07 10:19

When you shout, people tune you out. In a culture saturated with messages screamed from every direction, using superlatives such as “best,” “number one,” “superior,” “leading,” “favorite,” “more,” “great,” and so on, it’s no wonder people have evolved highly sensitive and effective BS indicators. That's why we've taken to whispering.

If you're new to 01SJ then you'll probably shrug this posting off. But if you're a repeat Festival fan, then you'll have noticed that our visual brand has changed radically from the inaugural Festival's look-and-feel. The pigeon was laid to rest and a cutting-edge, digerati style embraced. For that we have artist, Shona Kitchen, and leading San Jose-based branding agency, Liquid, to thank.

New Media Arts and The Law

The intersection of art, science, and technology has resulted in a creative boom in contemporary art and an emergent area of the Law.

California Lawyers for the Arts is pleased to present a conversation between Emily A. Berger, Intellectual Property Fellow with Electronic Frontier Foundation, Joel Slayton, Director of the CADRE Laboratory for New Media, and Eric Steuer, Creative Commons Creative Director, exploring the ways copyright laws are implicated in new media art and the challenges artists face in this evolving area of the law and is co-sponsored by Bay Area Glass Institute, Community School of Art and Music, Phantom Galleries, San Jose Institute of Contemporary Arts, and Viet Arts.

bulbo, San Jose: DIY Media Strategies from the Border, Tue. April 15 5PM

Submitted by ZERO1 on Mon, 2008-04-14 08:06

bulbo, San Jose: DIY Media Strategies from the Border is in conjunction with the 2nd San José Biennial 01SJ Global Festival of Art on the Edge to be held June 4-8, 2008, is made possible by the Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery in cooperation with the FUSE:_cadre/montalvo artist research residency initiative, and will feature residency outcomes by members of the bulbo collective.

Artist talk: April 15, from 5 – 6 pm in SJSU's Art Building, Room 133, with reception to follow

bulbo produces collaborative public art projects that explore cultural and artistic issues as they intersect with the day-to-day rhythms of life. Each of bulbo's projects allow people who would normally not pursue an art practice to take part in a creative process in an entertaining and non-prejudicial format. bulbo's perspective on broadcasting has naturally led them to intervene artistically in the growing "do it yourself" area of media broadcast.

Joyce Hinterding Taps into a Sea of Energy

Submitted by ZERO1 on Sun, 2008-04-27 23:51

Artist Joyce Hinterding’s Black Canyon and Earth Field , in collaboration with David Haines, will be presented at the 2nd Biennial 01SJ Global Festival of Art on the Edge. For the Superlight exhibition at the festival, Haines and Hinterding will install a new work, consisting of rows of tables with patterns of graphite that act as antennas. Electromagnetic information in the environment is picked up by these unusual antennae and transmitted through an audio interface, while a filmic sequence projects onto the far wall, relaying a failed oil mining ghost town in the Australian outback.
