2008-05-13T22:54:59+01:00

Transmission Asia-Pacific (TX-AP) : Media Activists from the Asia Pacific gather in Indonesia

2008-05-13T20:44:44+01:00

Video makers, media activists, software developers and artists from 15 countries across the Asia-Pacific will be gathering in Sukabumi, West Java from May 19-25 for an online video skills camp. The goal of the camp is to bring together open source software programmers, video makers and media activists to develop the strategic use of online video distribution for social justice and media democracy.

TX-AP is a joint initiative between media activists in Australia and Indonesia. It is organised collaboratively by EngageMedia (Australia), a video sharing website and free software development, training and networking project and Ruangrupa (Indonesia) a non-profit artist initiative supporting the development of art in the cultural context through events, exhibitions, research and documentation. 50 specially invited media activists and artists will be coming to Indonesia to attend the workshop and share their skills and ideas.

The camp will provide a unique opportunity for artists, video makers, software developers and activists to collaborate and share skills in a global context where on-line video communication skills have become an increasingly important strategy for activists.

Andrew Lowenthal of EngageMedia explained "Transmission Asia-Pacific will be a unique face to face meeting between video makers and open source software developers to shape open source online video sharing applications and their strategic use for social aims". He went on to explain "free and open source makes sense for organisations with limited means, both from a strictly economic point of view and also as part of their overall strategic aims, as the system of open collaboration and sharing that free software is based on has a natural philosophical fit with organisations working on environmental or social justice issues".

Participants will attend from around the region, for example participants from from Hong Kong making videos about communities resisting gentrification and over development of urban areas in Hong Kong and China. This group puts video cameras into the hands of those most affected by these policies and then helps them edit and share their work on-line. Projects such as these increase the communication rights of marginalized and displaced peoples allowing them to articulate their concerns to a wider public.

Another media activist from India has been using on-line media distribution to raise awareness of censorship of diverse sexualities in mainstream Indian media outlets. They have produced a satirical and humorous look at queer moments from Bollywood films to draw attention to the marginalisation of these voices within Indian society.

Transmission Asia-Pacific is the 4th in a series of events bringing together video activists and web developers. Previous events have occurred in Rome, London and Amsterdam.

Videodefunct

2008-02-19T09:04:39+00:00

Videodefunct is an experimental research project that focuses on inventing a hybrid vlog. A number of work-in-progress prototypes are being developed in the open source blog publishing system WordPress. A key objective is to design an interactive interface that explores the presentation of online video from a poetic perspective. Videodefunct is being developed by the collective of Keith Deverell, Seth Keen and David Wolf in the School of Applied Communication at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.

info from the Videodefunct About page @ http://www.videodefunct.net/

Seth Keen from Videovortex explained the system on the videoblogging group mail list

Thanks Jay for the post on the videodefunct project.

The project certainly has been influenced by Adrian Miles work with vogs and his writing on softvideography http://vogmae.net.au/drupal/
thinking/softvideo03 and the VD collective are similarily interested in exploring video on the Internet moving beyond being single-channel and linear like a version of TV and Cinema on the web.

As you mention VD simply breaks down what would normally be a larger linear video into smaller granular clips, that are tagged and
categorised on posting into the vlog. The user then uses this metadata to reassemble these clips in a customised player attached to
the vlog as a page. In the end the vlog becomes a larger thematic video work made up of a bunch of smaller clips.

In Adrian's rhizomes http://vogmae.net.au/drupal/doing/rhizome I think a similar type of interactivity and granularity occurs where
Quicktime in this case is used as a container to bring in a number of varying content types in varying order. Rhizomes in a way are
configured in a variety of ways to display this content like the customized player page in VD. Both often explore video being displayed simultaneously in more than one frame. (multi-channel)

As you mention we are planning a release of VD as an application / platform after a bit more development and content testing. i.e We
will have it working cross-platform in IE soon. In the meantime we are very open to feedback and questions.

Some more links to follow up on the project:

electrofringe 2006 - max msp workshop - video patch

2008-02-02T00:10:28+00:00

one of the workshops we did at electrofringe 2006 was on max / msp with Bruce Mowson
our group made a simple max patch which rotated through a few video clips we recorded of people who were in the workshop. we'd asked them to say something about the electrofringe / this is not art festival. the patch was basically a random video player. we only had an hour to make it so we chose something simple. we had to show Bruce the following day. our patch worked and we were one of two groups (well our group + 1 person from another group) who turned up the next day to demonstrate the finished patch
here's a photo of the attached patch - version 2

Mark's patch worked too - his is much more advanced! it's an identity bank ATM machine
Mark is from Chailight Productions - he lives in Melbourne now, but used to live in Brisbane and run the Spin'n'Jam nights, amongst other things such as some of the outdoor parties

one of the slides in Bruce's talk. I tried the url in the photo but it's a dead link now - granted it is 2 years later ;) no luck finding it on the wayback machine either :(

This is Not Art festival, Newcastle, Australia.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO ANYONE YOU THINK MIGHT ENJOY IT. If youre reading this and you are not on our E-Mailout, just send us a request to trash@trashvideo.com.au or find out more on www.trashvideo.com.au TO LEAVE OUR MAILING LIST, PLEASE EMAIL US BACK WITH “UNSUBSCRIBE” IN THE SUBJECT LINE.

IN THIS EMAILOUT: NEW TRASH VIDEO SHORT FILM ON CHANNEL 31 TONIGHT! THE WENG WENG COLLECTION FOR SALE! OTHER FILM FESTIVAL STARTS TODAY!

Howdy all,

It was a hectic week leading up to our David Lynch/Inland Empire Fundraiser – many thanks to the intrepid Dendy publicity team spearheaded by Jill Robson, who never fails to come through to us. Thanks also to everyone who attended; unfortunately we had around 60 payers, which didn’t raise as much as we were hoping for (we had 250 tickets to sell…ouch…). SO the piles of new DVDs on the Trash shelves don’t actually exist as yet… here’s hoping for a good Christmas.

Meanwhile, our TV ad saturation campaign begins in earnest on Channel 31 from tonight: our 4 sixty second commercials are played in their entirety just before Plan 9 From Outer Space at 8.30pm. Please let me know what you think – they’re in French, black and white with subtitles, and deliberately Godard-esque. How this sells the concept of the shop, I have no idea, but I hope you’ll at least be entertained. Vive la revolution! Cheers, Andrew

SCHLOCK TREATMENT: Drive-In Double and Triple Features hosted by Trash Video’s ANDREW LEAVOLD, 8.30pm every Friday on 31, your Community TV!

GIVEAWAYS THIS WEEKEND

INTO THE WILD: When 22 year old college graduate Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch, Lords of Dogtown, Alpha Dogs) walked away from a promising career and a life of privilege into the wild in search of adventure, his journey transformed him into an enduring symbol for countless people. Each strand of this real life journey is woven into Sean Penns screen adaptation of Jon Krakauer’s acclaimed bestseller INTO THE WILD, which is as much about the insatiable yearning for family, home and connection, as it is the search for truth and happiness. McCandless quest took him from the wheat fields of South Dakota on a renegade trip down the Colorado River to the non-conformists’ refuge of Slab City, California, and beyond. Along the way, he encountered a series of colorful characters at the very edges of society who shaped his understanding of the world and in turn McCandless changed their lives forever. In the end, he tested himself by heading alone into the wilds of the great North, where everything he had seen and learned and felt came to a head in ways he could never have expected. INTO THE WILD is an unforgettable journey, brought to the big screen by Academy Award® winner Sean Penn and starring Marcia Gay Harden, William Hurt, Catherine Keener, Vince Vaughn and Jena Malone. With cinematography by Eric Gautier (The Motorcycle Diaries) and a soundtrack by Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, INTO THE WILD is a haunting, stunning film, simply not to be missed. We have TWENTY DOUBLE PASSES to give away this weekend to the first 20 customers to rent something, for the special SNEAK PREVIEW SCREENINGS for any participating cinema over the weekend Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th November, courtesy of the wildcats at Paramount Pictures.

DRISHTI Media, Arts, Human Rights

2007-04-07T01:50:54+01:00

(from About Drishti Media page)

We are a group of media professionals working on issues of gender justice, human rights and development.

We founded DRISHTI as a Non Profit Public Charitable Trust in 1993, with a firm faith in the ability of video, theatre, radio, other media and the arts to contribute to struggles for a just, humane and peaceful society.

We believe that social communication need not be dry, boring, pedantic or depressing. In fact we believe that good form and technique must be used to communicate issues of social importance more effectively.

We work in partnership with the people whose lives, stories and experiences make the subject of our films. People are not reduced to passive objects of our creative process. They participate in it with a sense of ownership, and get involved in conceptualizing its contents, writing the scripts, acting and making edit selections. In other words, we help communities use the media as a means to articulate their resistance to structures of oppression, to communicate an alternative vision, to put forth their dreams and aspirations. We believe this process itself can be empowering, and therefore is as important as the end product of any project we undertake.

We work to ensure the widest possible dissemination of our films. Through video screenings organized by NGOs and women’s groups amongst small communities, our films create a lateral networking of knowledge and ideas at the grassroots level.

Communicating alternative value frameworks using alternative media does not mean we under-value the power and importance of the mass media, their incredible outreach, along with their ability to impact mainstream and also middle class attitudes. We have worked with the weekly serial format on radio as well as produced public service advertisements for the television networks in India.

Apart from production work in video, theatre and radio, we also undertake training and media planning for campaigns and events.

Drishti is structured as a collective of individuals. We are distinct in our creative identities and areas of concern, yet together in ideology, approach and spirit.
