EXPTV:Organising multi-media events: Mani.Fest III: Difference between revisions

==Syllabus==

** REPORT: At this first class we introduced the concept of MANI.FEST and the current Weimar context for AV performance presentation. We looked at a number of artist examples, talked about some different festivals, including the Tiny Noise, and previous MANI.FEST events. We discussed the possibility of creating a context for artists to improvise together during the frame of the festivals, different venues, good time lengths for an AV event, and audience comfort vs. endurance.(k.c.)

** REPORT: After a second overall introduction to the idea of MANI.FEST and the background of our team members, we agreed on using the media faculty's WIKI for our documentation and on the subscription in selected media art related mailing lists. We presented some of our favourite performances/performers like Candice Breitz, Gabriel Shalom, a Radiohead’s music video [http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/creative/radiohead/ "House of Cards"], a performance by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2G3KfKbJwE Einstürtzende Neubauten] called [http://www.wega-film.at/?film_id=22-das-auge-des-taifun “Das Auge des Taifun”] and some video and audio from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1woMEExMZXg&feature=related Suicide] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-J8Rxfk6M8 Pan Sonic]. After this we described and looked towards all the steps of the project realization, listed resources and upcoming deadlines. According to this we discussed about our project’s funding/fund raising. In the middle of these considerations stood a precise discussion and attept to define terms related to the art genre we will present within the context of MANI.FEST. [view](s.g.)

**REPORT. During this weeks session we looked at media art (pre1979) and discussed our opinions on various works presented. We examined the creative fund guidelines and detailed points of focus for funding applications in general. We read our press release texts. For next week (an exercise in curatorial selection) we shall find a contemporary media performance work with detailed technical specifications. We will also explore Weimar for possible venues and work further on our press release.
