FIBER & De Brakke Grond present Coded Matter(s) #9: High Fidelity full programme

WORKSHOP: ‘Ways of Seeing (with Computers)’

The two-day workshop will take place 17 and 18 June in the studio of De Brakke Grond.Led by forerunner Elliot Woods of Seoul-based art studio Kimchi and Chips, this hands-on programme will present an advanced introduction to Rulr, an open source node-based application for calibrating artistic devices with the physical world. Workshop participants will work in groups to conceive and build a model scene using projectors, structured light scanning and volumetric shading techniques, as well as simple materials such as thread, paper, and foam board. Expect exciting results: new ways to draw in the air, develop volumetric canvases and build semi-material sculptures. More details on this intensive workshop can be found here.

Workshop applications close this Friday, 12 June.

EVENING PROGRAMME PARTICIPANTS 

Rosa Menkman [NL] // Keynote Presentation

Since 2007, Netherlands-based glitch artist Rosa Menkman has honed her study of ‘glitch ecologies’ through both performances and static work. In her presentation, Rosa will focus on the productive consequences of these ‘accidental’ visual artifacts: glitches provide important insight into the obscured politics of media resolutions.

Steven Puttemans [BE] // Presentation

Belgium-based computer vision researcher and member of the EAVISE research group (KU Leuven) Steven Puttemans specialises in artificial intelligence, automated computer vision, biometrics, and robotics. At Coded Matter(s) #9 Steven will showcase his active research projects TOBCAT: Industrial Applications of Object Categorisation, and 3D4SURE--an investigation into the rise of sensor technology in geo-surveying, and the evolution towards 3D models of geo-imaging.

Elliot Woods [UK] // Keynote Presentation

Manchester-born digital media artist, technologist, curator, and educator Elliot Woods is best known from his work with Seoul-based art studio Kimchi and Chips. Alongside leading the workshop, Elliot will also deliver a keynote presentation on his most recent project “Light Barrier II,” the extraordinary installation which received an Honorable Mention at Prix Ars Electronica 2015, and was met with great critical acclaim at STRP Festival.

Prins & van Boven [NL] // Presentation

The Dutch artist duo Gert-Jan Prins & Martijn van Boven bring together their respective expertise in sound and vision to create pieces ranging from live performances and compositions to collaborative installations. At Coded Matter(s) #9 expect an exciting presentation on their currently developing project: ‘Black Smoking Mirror,’ a laser capable of making light engravings on an inflammable canvas.

Michelle Kasprzak [CA] // Moderator

Currently based in Amsterdam, curator, writer, and frequent FIBER collaborator Michelle Kasprzak is the founder of leading art curation blog Curating.info, and frequently contributes to media outlets such as Wired UK, BBC, CBC, and Rhizome.
