Only later do you know the side that you were on | video 3’40 (2010)
by Chris Meighan (uk (scotland)/nl)
In 1844, Charles Sturt set off with a company of men into the Australian interior. Along with him he brought a boat, hoping to sail it on the great “inland sea” at the centre of the continent, the existence of which he was completely certain of.

a knife all blade | video 1’57 (2008)
by Gabriel Menotti (br/uk)
This video was produced out of darkness, without any kind of subject but the camera itself. The lens was covered so that no light could reach the cmos sensor. What you are seeing is the feeble attempt of the compression algorithm to make images out of nothing.
In den Seilen hängen (On the Ropes) | HD video 3’40 (2010)
by Carolina Redondo (cl/de)
Der Körper ist schwer, mühvoll reibt sich der Organismus über Seile, die ihn tragen, ihn hin und her gleiten lassen. Lebenslinien aus Stoff, schlaff und stramm zugleich. Weiß auf Weiß – monochromes Rauschen am Rande des Abgrunds.

missing looking 1: Taubach| HD video 2’43 (2010)
by Kyd Campbell (ca/de)
“missing looking 1: taubach” is a work including macro perspective HD video recorded outdoors, short audio-feedback sounds and flickering black spaces. The video uses a single image sequence, cut intuitively, without a linear narrative. It is an exploration towards expressing sensory gaps which occur when one moves in perception between the spaces of micro and macro.

Ich werde erwartet | video 1’20 (2008)
by Hans Diernberger (de/uk)
In this video I am filming myself while trying to put on lipstick during a ride on a high-speed rollercoaster, but I only succeed in part. I am almost apathetic while riding the loops and my sad eyes revealing this cannot make me happy.

by João Ricardo (pt)
This film is about the saga of an egg trying to cross a road.
Note: no stunts, just one egg (and it was ruined)

I can’t believe it’s not art | HD video 1′26
by Richard Jochum (at/usa)
I can’t believe it’s not art is a short video in which a performer is picking petals from a daisy referencing to the old childhood game: She loves me, she loves me not. By expanding the popular diversion into the field of the arts, the video adds humor to an often dreadfully serious debate about whether a certain object, image or artifact is art or not. The outcome is based on an understanding of art as a process rather than a product, a social construction rather than an isolated entity by itself.

TINY NOISE WEEKEND in Köln und Moers
Ein Wochenende Workshops und Konzerte aus dem Bereich experimenteller Audioart und Noise-Music:
Am Donnerstag, den 15.Okober, um 20 Uhr wird das tiny noise Wochenende mit einem Konzertabend in Köln eröffnet, der eine breite Palette an aktuellen Strömungen der internationalen Noise und Soundart-Szene präsentiert. An diesem Abend hört man nicht nur subtile bis krachige Computerklänge, sondern auch knirschendes Glas, das zwischen den Zähnen von Justice Yeldam (Australien) zerbirst, rasende Klangräder (Derek Holzer), zusammengeflickte Schallplatten (EOSIN, Portugal), gestochen scharfe Visuals in Schwarz-Weiss (RYBn, Frankreich) und self-expanding-multimedia-performance-surround-spaceship-laboratory-travel-between-science-and-fiction (RaumZeitPiraten, Deutschland).
Ab Samstag, den 17. um 14 Uhr kann man dann das alles und noch viel mehr auch für 22 Stunden beim Moerser tiny noise camp ausprobieren, Hard- und Softwares kennenlernen, Noise-Maschinen bauen und alle Materialien, sich selbst und die Anlage an die Grenzen treiben. Circuit Bending, Pure-Data-basierte Klangarbeiten, selbstgebaute Instrumente, Sound-Video-Clashes oder Post-Industrial-Elektronik mit Künstlern aus den U.S.A, Australien, Portugal, Frankreich sowie dem Rhein/Ruhr-Gebiet. Das Netzwerk Improvisierte Musik Moers lädt Nerds, Noiseheads und Neugierige zu einem tiny noise camp im Stile einer „convention“ ein, wie man sie aus dem Spielbereich kennt.
The network´s net works! Für die beiden tiny noise events in Köln und Moers arbeiten nicht nur die nomadische Soundart-Plattform tiny noise, ZAM Zentrum für Aktuelle Musik Köln und Elektronentoto (Annie Buenker & Therese Schuleit) zusammen, sondern es kommt auch zur ersten echten Kooperation der Netzwerke ON Neue Musik Köln und nimm! Netzwerk Improvisierte Musik Moers.

entrance: 5e gets you a pass for one or both events.
TINY NOISE and our friends are happy to present a whole weekend full of workshops and concerts, geared at sharing and enjoying excellent art practices in the field of experimental audio art and noise music!
We do this because noise makes us feel so much better!
Since 2005 TINY NOISE has been bringing together audio artists from all over the world in specific local contexts where there is a desire to strengthen the local sound and noise art scenes. For over a year we have been researching and preparing with our friends in Cologne and Moers to design a special event that the local community can enjoy and grow from.
So please join us and bring your friends during this weekend of event. Think of it as a kind of festive ‘noise science fair’ and camp-out. In Cologne, visitors can relax and enjoy the show and in Moers visitors will become participants, having the opportunity to join the artists in creating new instruments, watch and take part in performances, hang out all night in the work space and join us the next morning for a brunch discussion.

Thursday, Oct. 15th, 20h [ @ KunstWerk, Deutz-Mülheim Straße 127 - 129, Cologne ]
tiny noise weekend begins with a concert evening in Cologne, including a wide range of current practices in noise and sound art. During this evening, you can expect, among other noisy things, breaking glass and maybe some blood (Justice Yeldham), spinning tone wheels (Derek Holzer), new sound from reconstructed records (EOSIN), sharp blacks and whites (RYBn) and pretty much everything you ever wanted to hack at school but weren’t allowed to (RaumZeitPiraten).

Saturday, Oct. 17th 14:00 [ @ Bollwerk 107, Moers (right beside the Moers train station) ]
22 hour NOISE CAMP (Saturday 14:00 -> Sunday noon)
The Netzwerk Improvisierte Musik Moers, the artists and all of the collaborating organizers invite musicians, music lovers, nerds, noise makers and everyone curious to this TINY NOISE CAMP gathering.
During this Noise Camp, each artist will have a workshop setup and visitors are welcome to join in and learn new techniques. In the large open space of the Bollwerk, a giant collective laboratory will take place, lasting all night long, with intermittent performances, complete with comfortable places to relax and a brunch discussion the next morning. Visitors can try out experimental hardware and software tactics, meet the artists, help to build noise machines and installations and should also find some space to share their own knowledge with other interested people. Circuit Bending, Pure-Data, free Software Based systems, homemade instruments, analog and concrete music techniques and exciting visual tactics will clash with Post-Industrial Electronics brought forward by artists from the Australia, Portugal, France, USA, and the German Rhine / Ruhr area.

DEREK HOLZER / TONEWHEELS/ usa
http://www.umatic.nl/info_derek.html
http://www.myspace.com/macumbista
Derek Holzer (1972) is an American sound artist living in Berlin, whose current interests include DIY analog electronics, sound art, field recording and the meeting points of electroacoustic, noise, improv and heavy metal music. He has played live experimental sound as Macumbista or Derek Holzer—as well as taught workshops in Pure Data and electronics—across Europe, North America, Brazil and New Zealand. He has released tracks under the Nexsound, Sirr, and/OAR, Mandorla, Frozen Elephants Music and Gruenrekorder labels, and has co-initiated several internet projects for field recording and collaborative soundscapes including Soundtransit.nl. “One of the central concepts of my work is that every object and space around us is a recorder. Each one has collected the resonances of its surroundings for as long as it has existed. You could call it an acoustic version of particle physics or genetics, because the idea remains the same–in the smallest details you will find a representation of the greater whole. My task as a sound artist is often just to listen, and to listen very closely, to the histories hidden inside our everyday world.”
Holzer has performed live, improvised electronic music in many venues and festivals in Europe, the US and Brasil including FILE (Sao Paulo, BR), WRO (Wroclaw, PL), Netherlands Film Festival (Utrecht, NL), Garage (Stralsund, DE), Videomedeja (Novi Sad, SCG), BEK (Bergen, NO), Transmediale (Berlin, DE), RAM6 (Vilnius, LT), Arts +Communication (Riga, LV), Kuda.org (Novi Sad, SCG), Earational Festival (S’Hertogenbosch, NL), Medienturm (Graz, AT), Kunstraum (Innsbruck, AT), Art Museum of Nantes (Nantes, FR), Montevideo (Amsterdam, NL), Kraakgeluiden (Amsterdam, NL), Denver University (Denver, USA) and others. Derek Holzer was supported during 2005–7 by Fonds voor Beeldende Kunsten Vormgeving en Bouwkunst (Fonds BKVB) of The Netherlands.

DIANA COMBO aka EOSIN / portugal
EOSIN started to work with deformed vinyl records trying to overcome the frustration of having an object that is not usable in a conventional way, letting the errors printed on the surface sound and join what is already recorded. In this way she creates different layers that combine into a new composition that changes the audiences perception about the music they are familiar with. Sometimes she tres to control the error, hiding it and sometimes she just manage to create a result that sounds like there is some kind of error, when there is none.This process involves the use of old and deformed records or old/new records she has or buys. She cuts and joins different pieces, burns or adds pieces of tape onto the surface to create patterns that superimpose themselves on the sounds that play.

What’s been described as “a trumpet player trapped in a two dimensional universe” is the unique work of Justice Yeldham who has an obsession with using sheets of broken glass as his musical instrument. Amplifying the sheets using a high end transducer designed for grand pianos, he presses his face against the surface whist employing various vocal techniques ranging from throat singing to raspberries.

RaumZeitPiraten / germany (cologne/dusseldorff)
http://www.raumzeitpiraten.de/
The “RaumZeitPiraten” were founded in 2007 by Tobias Daemgen and Moritz Ellerich with an Overheadprojector and a little pink Toypiano. Within their intermedial realtimestudies and media-lab-situations the RaumZeitPiraten explore the artificial generation of multidimensionalities and possibilities of its perception, structuring and intermediation. Beside traditional, digital sound and image generators they increasingly use analog, optic/acoustic self-constructions like the Haptonium and the Brummsel or complex apparat modifications like the MultiDimensionsProjektor and the Lightparasites. Their activities areaimed at playful, experimental connections of sound, image, object, space, time and music to an alternately self-expanding multimedia-performance-surround-spaceshiplaboratory-travel to somewhere between science and fiction.

Jean-Marie Boyer + Kevin Bartoli
RYbN is a multi-field artistic collective based in Paris / Berlin (2000) and specialized in interactive & networked installations, performances and interfaces, by refering as well to the codified systems of the artistic representation (painting, architecture, counter-cultures) as to the human and physic phenomenas (geopolitics, socioeconomy,
sensory perception, cognitive systems). Their axe of research : the construction of a “convergence semantics”, through the coupling, the diversion and the perversion of writing and formalization tools connected to communication, information and sensory technologies – networks, data flows, smell, surveillance, audiovisual, interaction, real time.

Rosinante
Schaltereck Hauptgebäude, akustische Erinnerung
Wo rennen sie nur hin? In unregelmässigen Abständen jagen mehrere Pferde durch die Schalterräume und um die Ecke.
Installation von Therese Schuleit.
Jetzt ging er, alsbald nach seinem Gaule zu sehen, und obschon dieser an den Hufen mehr Steingallen hatte als ein Groschen Pfennige und mehr Gebresten als das Pferd Gonellas, das tanium pellis et ossa fuit, dünkte es ihn, daß weder der Bukephalos des Alexander noch der Babieca des Cid sich ihm gleichstellen könnten. Vier Tage vergingen ihm mit dem Nachdenken darüber, welchen Namen er ihm zuteilen sollte; sintemal – wie er sich selbst sagte – es nicht recht wäre, daß das Roß eines so berühmten Ritters, das auch schon an sich selbst so vortrefflich sei, ohne einen eigenen wohlbekannten Namen bliebe. Und so bemühte er sich, ihm einen solchen zu verleihen, der deutlich anzeige, was der Gaul vorher gewesen, ehe er eines fahrenden Ritters war, und was er jetzo sei; denn es sei doch in der Vernunft begründet, daß, wenn sein Herr einen andern Stand, auch das Roß einen andern Namen annehme und einen solchen erhalte, der ruhmvoll und hochtönend sei, wie es dem neuen Orden und Beruf zieme, zu dem er sich selbst bereits bekenne. Und so, nachdem er viele Namen sich ausgedacht, dann gestrichen und beseitigt, dann wieder in seinem Kopfe andre herbeigebradit, abermals verworfen und aufs neue in seiner Vorstellung und Phantasie zusammengestellt, kam er zuletzt darauf, ihn Rosinante zu heißen, ein nach seiner Meinung hoher und volltönender Name, bezeichnend für das, was er gewesen, als er noch ein Reitgaul nur war, bevor er zu der Bedeutung gekommen, die er jetzt besaß, nämlich allen Rossen der Welt als das Erste voranzugehen.

“Apprentice jockeys have been known as “bug boys” because when thoroughbred racing took off in the United States after the Civil War, the jockeys really were young boys. In researching three books on jockeys, Ed Hotaling found evidence of 9-year-olds riding in competition. “Back in the 19th century,” Hotaling said, “you threw as small a kid as you could on a horse.”

Kunst und Gesellschaft im Dialog Teil I
Sebastian Blank
In der Machinima-Trilogie »Kunst und Gesellschaft im Dialog« befragt Sebastian Blank die gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz von Kunst im öffentlichen Raum. Dafür hat er ein Computerspiel modifiziert und (Kunst-) Objekte in die bestehende Spielewelt eingefügt, andere entfernt, eine Performance von Pipilotti Rist virtuell nachgestellt und sich in die beobachtende Rolle begeben. Die Frage ist: Wie reagiert eine Gesellschaft aus Artificial-Intelligence-Statisten auf Kunst?

Video Performance
by Johanna Reich
In ihren Performances und Videoinstallationen beschäftigt sich Johanna Reich mit der Beziehung von Mensch und Kamera.Die Arbeit "grün" zeigt eine Video-Performance im Außenraum mit ihrer "aleatorisch-kinetischen" Kamera. Die auf dem Boden liegende Kamera filmt dabei die Umgebung. Durch einen Impuls menschlicher Energie wird die Kamera in Bewegung gesetzt. Jeder Stoß generiert neue Bildkompositionen sich verändernder Perspektiven, der Apparat Kamera wird an seine Grenzen geführt und es entsteht ein aleatorisches Portrait der Umgebung.
Connected
by Selina Shah
The cyber debate is full of discussion about the evolution of post-bodies, the diminishing of the 'real' and the exemption of sensitivity. In her video, Selina Shah explores how digital technology imposes its own dynamic on the development of personal relationships. Humans increasingly interact via machines, permitting unspoken desires to be verbalised through text. Can fantasy be reached in this limitless space? Or is access to the Internet disabling human senses, inhibitions and, ultimately, 'real' intimacy?

Open Source Festival
Das Open Source Festival hat uns eingeladen das wunderschöne Festivalgelände zu erobern.
Die idyllisch gelegene Galopprennbahn im Grafenberger Wald ist die perfekte Location für ein perfektes Sommerfestival – mit drei Bühnen mitten im Grünen und einem wunderbaren Lineup bis tief in die Nacht.
Weiter geht’s nach Flingern! Ins Zakk, wo Saal, Club und Café viel Platz und Abwechslung für eine lange Clubnacht bieten. Und ins Rot Kompot, für eine lange Nacht nach dem Festival.
Call for submissions 2009
Dieses Jahr laden wir euch dazu ein mit uns und dem Open Source Festival die Eroberung dieses Ortes zu feiern und uns zu dem Thema (fat) chance operations [zufallsoperationen und gluecksspiel] eure Videoexperimente an uns zu schicken. Die 10 besten Beiträge werden dann am Tag des Festivals in der Elektronen-Toto-Kabinenschau ausgestellt. Die 5 besten Werke werden an den Aussenmonitoren des Festivals ausgestrahlt.
Schickt uns bitte eine Email, mit Video-Link und Screenshot (Breite: mind. 600 Pixel) an

*English version*
Horsetrack Duesseldorf 2009: When you imagine the location of this years Open Source Festival you are inevitably provoked to think of the throbbing ground, of ladies with champagne glasses and extavagant hats – but also of gamblers who are standing at the edge of the horse track grinding their teeth, their eyes blood-shot, sweat rolling down their foreheads fearing for the last cent they have bet on that one horse. We are reminded that gambling on a horse track or any other situation in life is not always likable to be a win-win situation. At the end of the day victory- as well as luck in life- are left solely to probability calculations, acute randomness and chance.
This year we invite you to celebrate the appropriation of this genuine space with us and submit your video work under the topic of (fat) chance operations [randomness and gambling]. The 10 best works selected will be shown on the day of the festival within the ELEKTRONENTOTO exhibition. The five best works will be shown on the outdoor monitors throughout the day.
Please send us an email with name, town, video-link and screenshot (aprox. 600Pixels wide) to elektronentoto@open-source-festival.de by July 15th, 2009.
*Your proposals should be no longer than 3 minutes long.
We look forward to your submissions!
