Message-ID: <495D7755.1030509@a-wa-re.com>
Hi All,
Sorry I didn't do this earlier: I've put together a few notes on the
brochure contents.
They're just guidelines to clarify the purpose and audience to
(hopefully) make it easier to write your blurb:
http://wiki.a-wa-re.com/index.php5?title=LCA2009_Art_Project_Brochure
Also, could you guys also throw together a very short (up to 25 word)
bio for the brochure? Forgot to mention that one before...
Thanks!

Message-ID: <495DB679.50900@a-wa-re.com>
Hi All,
As all the projects are starting to come together, I have been trying to
pick up the common threads so that the curatorial direction can be
revised and so that a show title can be derived.
From where I stand:
* The projects are very diverse - some are fun, some serious; they
all draw from a diverse set of backgrounds and practices.
* The projects are all conceptually engaged.
* There has been a strong focus on making interactive work.
* The projects are open rather than didactic i.e. there is more of a
tendency to study and experiment than to push a point, even when
there is a strong point to push.
* The projects draw on the community for content/structure to
differing degrees - whilst the community contribution aspect is
very clear in some projects, it is not a unifying factor.
* The same applies to the idea of a gift economy i.e. open-source
development begins with a public donation.
From this, it seems that it is the open and interactive elements that
are cohesive.
So, in terms of a show title, I have been looking at the Free Software
Federation's Defective By Design anti-DRM campaign:
http://www.defectivebydesign.org/
How do these titles sound?
* Receptive By Design
* Communal By Design
* Open By Design
* Inclusive By Design
* Responsive By Design
* Interactive By Design
I have attached some simple logo mock-ups based on the DBD campaign
graphics (and the original DBD graphics, for reference).
Could you send comments on the title to me ASAP? We need to finalise the
title so that I can send material for the conference booklet - it's due
tomorrow. I'll do a quick call round tonight to collect responses if I
don't hear before.
Thanks!

FSF is unnecessarliy politicising in a way that we are just not dealing
with.
When I look at all the projects, I see an interesting common vein around
the idea taking a source and experimenting with it in different ways, so
I had imagined something like:
- source.art
- experimental.source
- open.experiment
- open.art
- $ free.art
it could be nice and simple monospace font that people could recognise
as a terminal, the original interactive.
I'll accept whatever you want though, just thought i should put some of
this info and ideas into the mix. I have time for coffee and stuff.
cheers

Hmmm - I wasn't really intending to make any references to DBD in
anything except for the register of a campaign - we're all soliciting a
response so the show is a campaign of sorts - perhaps wishful thinking
on my part! Borrowing the DBD graphics was more a gesture in fun rather
than one of emulation... but perhaps it doesn't read that way.

Sorry - not sure where the double-negative is...

Source and experimentation: this is true of your work, Scot's and
Nancy's divination. Not sure if it'll apply so much with Room 11's,
Andy's and the penguin march though. This is why it has been so
difficult to revise the curatorial conceit - it's great to have such
diversity but it makes it difficult to draw convincing parallels.
I'm not really into the tech aesthetic and it may blend into the
conference a little too much... but am happy to go with it.
What does everyone think?

Well, I'm not the boss here - I'm just here to provide the structure
required to pull the show together. We should get together and have a
chat about it. Will call.
Thanks for the comments, Mat. Good to have a dialogue going here.
At the moment, we need to get the title finalised ASAL so please send
any comments through. The brochure graphics can be worked through early
next week.

Subject: [Lca2009] Video Co-Ordinator Wanted
Message-ID: <495DE2E2.2070106@a-wa-re.com>
Hi All,
LCA are looking for someone to co-ordinate their video recording and
streaming operations during the main conference (Wed 21 to Fri 23).
If I understand correctly (Ben, Leah - correct me if I'm wrong), the
role is:
* Voluntary i.e. not paid (none of the organisers are)
* Largely managerial - required to co-ordinate the volunteers
managing each room.
* Needs to have an overall knowledge of video recording/encoding but
specific knowledge of the system used (Lectopia) is not necessary.
The video co-ordinator will become part of the LCA organising team so
will have access to all the associated goodies - not quite sure what
these are but I'm sure Ben or Leah can fill you in.
Anyway, if you can think of anyone suitable and willing, let Ben/Leah/me
know. In the meantime, I'll continue to ask around...

I'm happy for you to circulate that email... normally I'd sit for 24h on

I think it would be good to have a discussion.
And thanks for your response kev, I've got a clearer picture of what you

I think if campaign is the theme, then we can do better, and maybe reference

A double negative: isnt bad
(as opposed to is good)
If you look at their campaign website, that approach has just resulted in a
bitchfest of negative expressions.

What is Andy doing? I have no idea (Does TBC mean he is uncofirmed) thought
he was sourcing shampoo bottles
Room 11 are demonstrating an open process applied to architecture aren't
they? --although I'm not sure how 'art' that is.

* To be completed...
* Art. Be In It. - play on the "Life. Be In It" campaign

Hi Ben, Leah, Josh,
Once again, very sorry to be so late with this.
As I'm not very clear on how the rest of the booklet will read, I have
included a long and short version of the text: the longer is more of a
curatorial introduction and the short version is a simple description of
how the show relates to the conference. Feel free to choose the one that
is more appropriate but if you have a hung jury or would prefer me to
make the call - take the shorter one.
I've also sent the Arts Tas logo, which we're obliged to include in
promo material (together with the attribution at the end of the texts).
However, since the booklet isn't really a show publication, I don't
think this is strictly necessary - so - include it if convenient. Since
it's a generic Tasmania logo, it may already be on the booklet...
Anyway, thanks for doing all this. If you need anything else, I should
always have the phone handy - 0415 448597.

I see most of the proposed works in the show at the point of intersection
between technological, theoretical in the tradition of art and design and
located in the area of computational and networked digital media.
Core themes are: transmission, use, behaviour, and experience; knowledge
and memory; the political economy of the information society; citizens and
consumers, public and private identities; network and diaspora.
For me my work aims to develop a critical understanding of the role of
design in complex media environments.
anyhow look foward to coffee and i have to update my wiki after being in a
Falls festival bubble.

hi all
apart from the penguin march that i am pending approval form city council
- shouldn't be a problem tho.
i was invited to have table at open day. - i will be a bit too busy but
thought we as a group could have one - if there is time for us to still
accept this i thought i'd hand it over to the group to see if we could put
all our pulications and stuff there.
I think it would be a good way to wrap up our work and contribution to the
Linux conf and a way of galvanising that for the wider public etc.
- info is below this should be accted upon quite quickly

G'day
My name is Josh and I'm looking after Open Day at LCA this year.
I'd like to offer you the opportunity to have a table at Open Day. Having
been on the papers committee, I am aware of just how exciting 2009's talks
are going to be.
If a table doesn't sound like something you're interested in, I am aiming
towards having short talks during the day similar to 2008, and would be
delighted to have conf speakers giving attendees a look at some of the
talks they may not have been able to make it to during the week, and
locals a taste of what has been happing in their city.
If you are interested, please let me know via josh.bush at marchsouth.org
before the 20th of December.
If have any specific power, equipment, network or space requirements or
any other questions or ideas, I'd be more than happy to discuss them.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Josh Bush

Hello
This is the letter i will send tomorrow to Commander Peter Edwards -
Southern District. Do you aggree with this ? - give comments
put it in the 'main text' below.
I really need to post it off tomorrow considering time to respond etc.
Please let me know

BEST nancy
Start:
Dear Commander Peter Edwards - Southern District.
It has been brought to my attention I have to get a permit to march with a
group of people dressed in black and white tuxedos along the street in and
around Salamanca Place and the Parliament Lawns.
Therefore with due respect I am writing about obtaining permission for a
small public street march I would like to coordinate on the 24th Jan. This
is in direct relation to the Australian Linux Conference
http://linux.conf.au/ 'linux.conf.au is marching south to Hobart, Tasmania
for its 10th anniversary in 2009! It is widely regarded as one of the
world's best technical conferences, and this year it will be held in one
of the most unique locations, for the first time.'
Since the 24th is the Open day for the wider public of Tasmania I would
like to organise a *penguin march* with a small group of delegates on
saturday morning 24th of the open day. This will not impede traffic but
simply be a visual spectacle along the public walkways and grass spaces at
salamanca and parliment lawns.
My proposal and Basic details is as follows
OUTLINE PENGUIN MARCH; 24th Jan
#Time
10am 24 Jan.
#meeting point
a. wrest point / b. salamanca lawns [tbc]
a# march from wrestpoint to salamanca- parliment lawns.
b# march from salamanca to wrest point.
depending on the open day venue confirmation.
#Costume:
dress in black and white suits hopefully tuxedos
#Props:
Tux penguin mascots and left over LCA merchandise/linux distros will be
provided by LCA to distribute to public.
Action on the lawns:
handing out left over LCA merchendise-linux cd distros etc. on parliment
lawns.
A spokes person statement for press [tv.radio].
Then moving on to LINUX Open day.
Fun for all the family! A chance for the public to come and see what open
source software is all about. This free event for both conference
delegates and the people of Tasmania will showcase some of the fun and
exciting things that can be done with F/OSS. Coupled with interesting
presentations and the always entertaining lightning talks this promises to
be a great day for all.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I plan to not start open day until the march arrives (gives us more setup time), so delegates won't have to choose between the two.
Are we anticipating the public joining in as well?

Yes_
definately a main point of motivation is to give info out and tell about
openday before it starts.
what time do you propose is a good time to start if 10am is not suitable?

Good idea - will try to put a "feature list" on the cover.
Also, do you want the march to go into the brochure? If so, could you
send me a quick blurb (doesn't have to be 100 words) and image?
Thanks!

Hi All,
Here are the PDFs that were sent to the printers a few moments ago.
The job will cost $400 for 1000 brochures - unfortunately, we couldn't
print any more since they couldn't guarantee delivery by the 16th for
larger quantities. Shame really, since another 1500 brochures would have
only cost another $100.
Thanks for sending all your content through in the past few days.
Apologies for any editing I had to do to fit everything in -
unfortunately, there wasn't time to review everything before going to print.

Hi All,
The brochures arrived on Friday - a week ahead of schedule, would you
believe? Anyway, we'll be putting them into the showbags on Friday or on
the weekend so any publications that need to be slipped in need to be
ready by Friday. According to my notes, only Aaron/James are intending
to include material in the showbag - is anyone else doing this?
The last (group) promo item is the slideshow that will be run before the
keynote address every morning. Here is a rough format:
* One slide per work i.e. Nancy gets one for divination and one for
the march.
* The slideshow will be seen by delegated while they are waiting for
the talks to start so they need to be very simple and snappy.
Think cinema advertising.
* 25-30 words at the very most.
* I will add the show branding to the slide images e.g. Batteries
Not Included footer.
Be good if your images could be in before the weekend but I'll send a
definite deadline in the next couple of days.

Hi All,
Here is a quick mock up of the title and show promo slide with the
Batteries Not Included branding ripped off the brochure.
Let me know what you think. Is the footer too big?

Hello all you sweet potato pies
ok my thing is almost_ ready_ i have to drive to huonville on saturday to
fix it.
so i will be showing my face around on sunday or sat arvo to pack the bagz.
i saw this project below that i thought the room 11 'open source
archietechture' crew might be interseted in
http://www.festival-emergences.info/en/2008/
i hope you are all finding your black tuxedos- and tails!!!
my wiki post re penguin march is coming soon
the apples through the windows is kinda funny but mabye naffe - anymore
brain waves lemme know. :)
Kevin- if you log into the https://conf.linux.org.au/
then it gives you automatic edit preferences
in case you were still thinking of putting the art project up there :)~
and finally i may at the last minute but the computer in the space/site
but apparently their internet is rather precariosu for the moment. so that
would be a lst minute thing - and let me konw if there is not that optoin
anymore it would be basicl1x2 mtrs for small table and chair.
looking foward

Hi All,
Could you all confirm ASAP if you will be participating in Open Day?
i.e. if you are willing to show your work on Saturday the 24th at the
casino. I need to give them the requirements for set-up ASAP.
Thanks!

I've just added the brochure content onto the LCA web site:

If you have any updates, you can send them to me. Will try to work out
how to get some images on without destroying the layout...
Nancy, would you like me to add a blurb for the march?

Subject: [Lca2009] Your Presence at the Conference
Message-ID: <4977FA90.40003@a-wa-re.com>
Hi Aaron, James, Andy,
I'd like to clarify a point about LCA that perhaps I had not emphasised
enough although it has been on the project wiki since its very early
days and was certainly in the grant application submitted in June. I
believe I have also mentioned this in all our one-on-one and group meetings.
You were expected to be present, in person at the conference, not
necessarily for the entire conference, but certainly for a significant
portion of it. This is because a public work does not end when it is
presented in a public place - it needs to be tended, in person, to
maximise the possibilities of interaction. If you recall, the grant was
specifically intended to allow this: LCA pay for materials, Art Tas pay
for you to take time off work, or to make whatever arrangements are
required, to participate in the conference, as artists and to a lesser
extent, as delegates.
It is now very late in the conference. I am happy to wear the
responsibility for this miscommunication, if that is if fact what it is
- my inexperience is certainly showing and perhaps I should have given
everyone contracts to clarify expectations. I had (perhaps naively)
anticipated that along the way, you'd have developed enough of an
interest in the content of the conference to attend some of the sessions.
However, it'd be great if you'd consider meeting me half way, in being
present in the next couple of days, to talk to the delegates about your
work and to attend some of the sessions. Without specifically looking
for it, I have seen a number of talks that have elements of recycling,
reuse and spatial mapping and it's very unfortunate that you're not
taking advantage of these opportunities to expand your practice.

Hi
I'm writing up my report for the project as specified in the wiki.
Anyhow I just want to say a big thank you to Kevin for his diligent and
professional efforts to curate and organise *Batteries Not Included -
Contemporary Art meets linux.conf.au*.
I say this as, even though I was already involved in the Linux conference,
prior to that invitation to join this project. I found it was a little
disappointing that a group conversation, didn't continue outside of the
nice preparation meetings with beer and cheese we had at Room 11.
Best Wishes
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
Thank you for your fantastic support and energy across the whole project
- certainly made life much easier for me!
I'm still in the process of doing a post mortem on the show - lots
didn't go as planned but lots did as well! I'll send more information on
the project wrap up in the next couple of days when I manage to find
some time to read through the acquittal requirements.

Yes, me too - I guess the timing of it all made more interaction between
the artists difficult i.e. late start, not much time, lots of other
commitments plus the Christmas/New Year craziness.
