The First Summit Meeting of the Planetary Collegium, Montreal, Canada.19-22 April, 2007. C’ur des Sciences, University of Quebec, Montreal. hosted by Centre Interuniversitaire des Arts Mediatiques and Hexagram. Network consciousness, telematic interactivity and the media and metaphors of technology and science, have informed the vision of the Collegium since its inception as CAiiA at the University of Wales College, Newport back in 1994. Throughout the subsequent decade, developments in computing, communications, biophysics and cognitive science, hypermedia, telepresence and robotics created challenges in all fields: architecture, performance, dance, narrative, music, as well as the visual arts and design. New discourse was emerging and theory was not to be left behind. In this context, CAiiA-STAR flourished. As the pressure to expand increased, the Planetary Collegium was established, with its CAiiA-Hub in the University of Plymouth, and Nodes in Zurich, Milan and Beijing, with others pending. http://summit.planetary-collegium.net/

Hywel Davies – Columbia Livia

adelmootranto News 23/02/200714/11/20183D sound, Arch-OS, flocking, Hywel Davies, VOICES II

Arch-OS interpretation by Justin Roberts performed at the Peninsula Arts Contemporary Music Festival ‘VOICES II’. Friday 23 February 2007. Cube 3 Gallery, Portland Square , University of Plymouth. ‘Columbia Livia’ , part of a two-site installation, ‘Salva me’, commissioned by B ath Festivals Trust as part of a Year of the Artist Residency, and shown at the 2001 B ath International Music Festival, was ‘reversioned’ for a new installation through Arch-OS ( www.arch-os.com, an ‘Operating System’ for contemporary architectures). The Columbia Livia + Arch-OS version references ‘flocking’, a computer modelling technique coined by Craig Reynolds (1987) for the coordinated motion of groups of particles or ‘boids’. The visualisation of these algorithms mimics the flocking of birds and demonstrates principles of self-organization and the emergence of behaviors. The ebb and flow of people activated an acoustic ‘flock’ of birds (boids) that spun and wheeled around the void of the atria. ‘Columbia Livia’ deployd the sonic architectures enabled by the Arch-OS 56 speaker – 3 D sound system. A crucial feature of this version of ‘Columbia Livia’ was the emergence of unpredictable ‘complex’ sonic behaviours over the duration of its performance. http://www.arch-os.com/

F.A.q. Questions about Art, Consciousness and Technology

adelmootranto News 25/11/200614/11/2018Art, Brazil, Consciousness, F.A.q., Planetary Collegium, Sao Paulo, SESC

November 30, December 1 and 2, 2006. SESC Paulista, Avenida Paulista, 119, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil, Phone (5511) 3179-3796 (25/11/2006). The idea of this forum is to establish an open dialogue between general public and people dedicated to the interface between art, consciousness and technology. In the forum, the question plays the major role of relating the complexity of the participants projects and issues of daily reality in the voice of the invited perguntadores (‘question makers’). The perguntadores will be intellectuals related to each of the five main topics of the round tables, but not particularly engaged in the context of art and technology. F.A.q. gathers 17 members of the Planetary Collegium, Brazilian artists and prominent intellectuals in the fields of science, culture and thought in a program of three days of lectures, round tables and commented digital art shows.

Noogy in residence – part of the Motion Plymouth Festival 2006

patconley News 17/11/200614/11/2018Arch-OS, Motion Plymouth Festival, Noogy, Plymouth, Portland Square

(17/11/2006). Noogy: 16 – 19 November 2006. Portland Square, University of Plymouth. To talk to Noogy text: noogy; and your question.. to 07766404142. Noogy in residence is part of the Motion Plymouth Festival 2006. Noogy’s background is a little unclear. Some claim that Noogy arrived from deep space, originating somewhere off the shoulder of Orion, watching C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. Others claim that Noogy grew from within the network of CAT6 Ethernet cables, silicon chips and data mines that form the core of the Arch-OS system in Portland Square. Whilst others still claim that Noogy was there all the time, waiting in the void for the digital interface that would allow his manifestation. Some say Noogy is the ‘building’, others that Noogy is just a viral infection, like a bad cold that cant be shaken.
