POST-GRADUATE STUDY IN CHOREOGRAPHY/ NEW MEDIA IN AMSTERDAM
Established in 2002, Dance Unlimited (DU) Amsterdam is a unique two-year post-graduate program supporting the practical and theoretical study of the relationship between choreography, performance, and new media/ emerging technologies.
The program takes as its starting point the development of strong and sophisticated choreographic work from which to extend and test the boundaries of choreographic practice, application and thought. New media/ emerging technologies are approached from this perspective with an emphasis on representation and perception of the body in physical and mediated spaces. Theoretical and critical reflection is used as a means to challenge and support the practical work.
The program combines traditional and innovative approaches including lectures, training sessions and workshops, individual study and peer-to-peer contexts for discussion and debate, the development of documentation strategies and practical studio based research.
******************
The program is ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS NOW for September 2004. The application Deadline is 15 January 2004.

INTERACTIVE FUTURES: New Media Crossing Boundaries
a forum for showing recent tendencies in time-based new media art. The theme of this year's event is New Media Crossing Boundaries. INTERACTIVE FUTURES Co-producers: Arthur and Marilouise Kroker.
The crossbreeding between film, sound artists and interactive media forms is now becoming standard practice. With increasing frequency artists are stepping out of their traditional media and applying new media tools and concepts to other media. Such cross-pollination is evident in the work of one of our special guests this year, Jean Piché. Originally trained as an electro-acoustic composer, Piché is now working as a digital filmmaker and sound artist. Similarly, Paul D. Miller (AKA DJ Spooky) works across a dazzling array of media - from dance-based sound to digital installation to pure text works - imparting a voice of wit and intelligence to these media forms. New Media Crossing Boundaries will explore how new media is becoming genuinely "multimedia" and how new media technology and production is changing the face of traditional media.
Scholars and artists working in new media arts, theory, and criticism are encouraged to submit proposals to present their work at the conference. Presentations must be at least in part demonstrative, incorporating digital technologies, interactive or digital video, sound, or network-based elements. Conference sessions may combine academic presentations with presentations; we encourage proposals that push the boundaries of the traditional conference paper in form and content.
INVITED SPEAKERS / ARTISTS (to be confirmed)
* Paul D. Miller (USA) - Paul D. Miller (AKA DJ Spooky) is a conceptual artist, writer, and musician working in NYC. His written work has appeared in The Village Voice, The Source, Artforum, Raygun, Rap Pages, Paper Magazine, and a host of other periodicals. He is a co-Publisher along with the legendary African American downtown poet Steve Canon of the magazine "A Gathering of the Tribes" - a periodical dedicated to new works by writers from a multi-cultural context, and he was the first Editor-At-Large of Artbyte: the Magazine of Digital Culture. His work as an artist has appeared in a wide variety of contexts such as the Whitney Biennial, The Venice Biennial for Architecture (year 2000), the prestigious Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Germany; Kunsthalle, Vienna; The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and many other museums and galleries. Miller has recorded a huge volume of music as "DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid" and has collaborated a wide variety of pre-emininet musicians and composers such as Iannis Xenakis, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Butch Morris, Kool Keith a.k.a.

* Jean Piché (Canada) - Jean Piché is a composer and video artist living in Montréal, Canada. Since 1988, he has been teaching composition and video at the Université de Montréal.

He has received numerous international awards and his work has been shown and heard in Europe, Asia and North America. After active collaborations with video artists like Tom Sherman and Marina Abramovic, he now directs and produces his own video work, focusing on parallel compositional paradigms for abstracted visuals and music. His first opera " Yo Soy la Disentegracion " was produced in 1997 by the Montreal company Chants Libres. For the past few years, he has been involved in software design to facilitate the specification of control vectors for digital sound synthesis and processing. These activities have led to the creation of the program Cecilia that was awarded First Prize at the International competition for musical software in Bourges. Since 2000 he has developed a synchronized video projection system for three large screens and an image acquisition system with three digital cameras. This system is used for his productions and was shown over the last three years in Montreal and in France.
* Ron Wakkary (Canada) - Ron Wakkary is associate professor in Information Technology & Interactive Arts at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.
