Basak Senova is an international curator and founder of the online curatorial project nomad TV. She will undertake a two-week research residency hosted by Plymouth Arts Centre and i-DAT as part of the Curatorial Network programme to explore the potential of online environment and social networking tools as mechanisms for generating cultural exchange.
The particular focus of the residency is on ideas of cross-cultural generosity, sharing, communication and social interaction in contemporary curatorial practice. Using the Curatorial Network’s online resources including discussion List and website as a research platform, Senova will initiate a debate about curatorial exchanges and develop a map of curatorial network in the region and internationally. In this way she will also map parallel cases and counter-actions that are linked to contemporary art practices that set new modes and channels for social, political and cultural information flow.
The debate generated through the residency will conclude with development of a seminar for March 2008, as the third of the Curatorial Network programme. The Curatorial Network is a collaborative initiative involving curators working independently and as part of organizations across the visual and applied arts, museum and academic sectors. It offers an online portal and programme of activities dedicated to the development of curatorial practice through critical debate, collaborations, professional development opportunities and exchange. It explores the metaphor of ‘network’ in relation to curating to discuss dynamics and models of curatorial networks, to advance collaborative curatorial practice and to develop international curatorial network. The Curatorial Network runs a series of international curatorial research residencies and seminars as well as international visits for curators based in South West of the UK. For further information on the Curatorial Network, details of the programme and to join the discussion list, see http://www.curatorial.net/

11 January – 11 March.
Cadu (Carlos Eduardo Felix da Costa) has been invited to undertake a three-month residency as part of an International Fellowship supported by the Arts Council of England. Cadu is an artist based in Brazil and will undertake this residency for the first time in the UK. This is an opportunity for this artist to define new ideas and processes in his work, by collaborating quite specifically with i-DAT the artist intends to work with the Robotics Research department at Plymouth University. This situation is a unique opportunity for the artists to explore advanced technologies and collaborate with engineers and scientist.
The International Fellowships Programme enables artists from all art forms and at any stage of their career to engage with artists and arts organisations from other cultures and disciplines. Selected artists are offered fellowships primarily for practice-based research, experimentation and the development of new work in relation to the artistic ethos of international hosts and the cultural contexts of the countries in which they are based.

8 February – 8 March. In residence developing a new work / 9 March – 6 April Installation of new work. For one month the London based artist Stanza will be developing a new piece of work in residence in Plymouth Arts Centres upper gallery. The concern of the residency is for the artist to create a new piece of work. Stanza specializes in net art, networked spaces, installations and performances. His works explore artistic and technical opportunities to enable new aesthetic perspectives, experiences and perceptions within context of architecture, data spaces and online environments. Stanza’s work crosses borders between artistic, technological and scientific sectors. Stanza creates participatory digital artworks that invite viewers to guide data flows or to simply observe self-generating compositions. His digital paintings shift through abstract and iconic patterns, which people can explore akin to virtual environments. He has won international praise and awards for his new media works that invite collaboration. Stanza is currently a recipient of an AHRC creative fellowship 2006-9 for a project called The Emergent City, researching sensors and the impact of live data in the architectural and urban environment and is based at Goldsmiths College University Of London. Stanza was also awarded a NESTA dreamtime fellowship in 2004. This prestigious award provided incoming investment, allowing experiments using new displays, sensors, and live data to make responsive spaces and interactive installations. This residency is made possible through the Distributed South initiative supported by Arts Council England to raise awareness of media arts in South of England. Distributed South is managed by SCAN and Space Media.

(05/11/2007). Ruairi Glynn b-DAT graduate and developer of interactive architectures (see interactivearchitecture.org) delivered a 3 day Processing workshop in processing. A-Tec researchers and students worked with Arch-OS data feeds to develop dynamic imagery for the Green Screen installation in Portland Square.

Green Screen Installation

adelmootranto News 20/09/200714/11/2018CETL, CSF, Green Screen, LED matrix

Built to communicate the Centre for Sustainable Futures (CSF) CETL (Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning) agenda and sustainable information about life at the University of Plymouth the ‘Green Screen’ has been installed.
This large scale LED matrix fill the top 3 floors of the windows of Atrium A of Portland Square. This full colour screen will display information and graphics that describe ecological and social data collated from a day in the life of the University campus.
Waterfalls of water will be seen cascading down the building changing in size according to how many taps were turned on and how many toilets were flushed in a day. Fire will leap up the building describing how much energy was used to heat buildings, and forests of trees will be seen to fall depending upon how much paper was used. The system will be publicly interactive through mobile phones and will be able to show a wide variety of movies, messages and graphics that the North Hill pedestrian and road traffic will be able to see.
The technology behind the screen is relatively low on energy consumption considering the nature of its affect. Consisting of 9600 LED’s over a 50m2 area the screen will draw 1Kw of power, which is comparable to less than 3 PC’s being on for a working day.
The management and development of the research project is carried by the Institute of Digital Art & Technology (i-DAT) with technical consultancy provided by Pyramid. i-DAT who will maintain the systems, are working closely with the CSF to design user friendly interfaces to allow staff and students to broadcast material.
Taking digital feeds from the campus building management systems that record live data about environmental, social and network activity, i-DAT are working with creatives to develop powerful and expressive media forms that engage and involve anyone passing by the screen. Operating from 4pm to 10pm the LED systems are low energy, flexible displays that have yet to be used on this scale anywhere in the world.
