MARCEL has been quiet for some time but not inactive. Several members have continued to explore multicasting artistic and educational collaboration over high bandwidth networks and members have been installing platforms and connecting.

We organized a European consortium to request 7 million euros from the European Commission to build the platform throughout Europe. We were turned down in a fashion which led to our understanding that the symmetrical aspect of multicasting is being blocked by industry as a money-loser. We’ve decided to proceed country by country over the academic network and have advanced in France and the UK with other countries showing interest. The project is called, MaP, Multicasting art Platform, MaP-MARCEL.fr, MaP-MARCEL.UK, MaP-MARCEL.Norway, etc.

Our habitual platform, Access Grid, has disappeared but we have several sites experimenting with other possibilities and in France we are using Jitsi, recommended by the Renater, the French academic network, https://jitsi.org/Main/Download. It looks like it could be developed to respond to our needs. Other members are working with Openwebrtc. We are still pursuing the idea of a MaxMSP-PureData interface.

Also in France, we are creating working groups exploring specific disciplines to advance the network potential. At this moment there are workshops in theatre, music, dance, smart video games, drawing, art and the environment and cinema in preparation. The theatre workshop will be a Franco-British collaboration which has been initially funded from UCL in the UK.

A MaP working group site is in preparation and will be accessible through the mmmarcel.org by the end of the month with the appropriate contact information for all working groups.

4-6 May 2015, Royal College of Music, London

GÉANT Association is proud to announce a collaboration with the Royal College of Music in London and Jisc, which provides Janet, the UK national research and education network, to combine performing arts and the latest networking technology in an action-packed programme. From 4-6 May 2015, the fifth European Network Performing Arts Production (NPAP) workshop will take place in London, including a ground-breaking evening performance by students from the Royal College of Music. Registration for the workshop is now open!

Programme The workshop programme will offer exciting opportunities for participants to expand their knowledge and discuss new possibilities in areas where real-time arts performance and cutting-edge networking technology meet. The workshop serves as an ideal platform for interdisciplinary discussion and collaboration. We have a host of online learning materials, which can be found here http://www.terena.org/activities/network-arts/london/materials.html

The main focus of the sessions will be on brief demonstrations of technology and lectures followed by round-table discussions. As in previous years, the sessions will be very much hands-on, encouraging the participants to generate new ideas about how the technology presented can be used in various performing arts.

Public performance included Royal College of Music students will present an evening performance using some of these technologies on 5 May 2015. The performance will be open to the public; workshop participants can attend free of charge.

New Marcel Group Added

A new group with the name MARCEL Multicasting Platform has been added to our site.

In order to function correctly with all forms of artistic expression over the high bandwidth network, an important level of technical development in multi-site connections is essential in order to make the network space operate effectively as a space for art.

Since the creative mode operating over the network is interactivity, it is useful to examine the art forms already interactive by nature, the performing arts. In music, dance and theatre interactivity takes place between the players themselves as well as with the audience. They therefore give us a first important look at the improvements necessary for the network space to become a performance space adapted to those artistic disciplines.

The ideal in collaborating with the performing arts is complete communication between all players,functioning together over distance in the virtual space of the very high bandwidth network with an online public.

This working group has been created to build a better mulitcasting platform for artistic experimentation and production with the addition of tools for sound and image manipulation in real time. The group is pursuing combining existing multicasting technologies with other programing tools to achieve that end.

Phiippe d'Anfray, Aristote

The Working Group module has been activated in MARCEL for authorized members. Once logged-in, a member can create a Working Group by clicking on the WG button in the right-hand column and following instructions. Working Groups are built around specific projects or events and can be public or private. Once created, a member can invite other participations to join although Working Group membershipis are limited to authorized members of MARCEL.

The services provided by WG are shared documents, joint calendar, scheduling, Skype meetings, direct email, member mailings and other links, including to member-created external web sites for a project and to social media. At the time a Working Group is established, a notice can be sent to all MARCEL members by checking the appropriate box in the WG template.

Some Working Groups already exist if you wish to consult a model. Submitted by Don Foresta on Tue, 2013-01-29 10:29

MARCEL-TV, available through the web site, now has new material uploaded which you can see by clicking on MARCEL-TV and going through the pull-down menu on the top bar.

The Vasulkas work has been replaced by better quality versions and CERN has uploaded new Noble Laureate talks. You will also see other recently uploaded work. More is on the way.

The automatic upload module has been completed allowing members to upload work they would like to offer to the membership. It is not yet connected to the web but anyone interested in uploading should contact me directly. I can explain how to do it while we work to connect it directly to the web site.

MARCEL-TV is a pedagogical tool offering important art and science work to members and an interested public. It is yours so feel free to use it. Only members can contribute but it is available to the general public.

Invitation for proposals for the first Cyberformance Symposium [CyPosium], organised by UpStage.

Since the early 1990s, there has been a growing body of live performance that is situated online. These events differ enormously in form and content, are described with multiple terms (such as cyberformance, remote performance, internet theatre, screen stage, computer-mediated performance), are staged in a variety of online environments (such as text-based and graphical chat rooms, sound broadcast, real time choreography for screen, virtual worlds, games and purpose-built or existing platforms as for instance facebook) and engage diverse audiences. The net, however, is forgetful: it loses the memory of those events, and of the people who lived them, of the environments and communities who hosted them.

On 12 October 2012, a symposium will be organized by UpStage, where cyberformers will discuss their online performances with other artists, researchers and interested participants. Questions we would like to tackle in CyPosium include: What different kind of events happened? What did they make possible? What was special about the event? Why were things done in a certain way and what were the results?

We invite proposals for presentations about past online performances. Presentations will be programmed into 30 minute timeslots, should be no longer than 20 minutes in duration (10 minutes will be scheduled for questions) and can be done in the Upstage platform (or in another platform if you wish). Presentations could involve webcasting, showing archives, talks, etc. A public chat will be available for interaction between the artists and audience. There will be facilitated discussions between programmes of presentations, to enable general discussion around common themes. Everything will be recorded for archival and documentation purposes.

If you are interested, please submit:

• a short bio;
• a short abstract of your presentation (not more than one page) including the platform you wish to use and any relevant information;
• one image that represents this past work;
• contact email and postal address.

Proposals must be emailed to zn.gro.egatspu@muisopyc by 15 of June 2012. You will receive news of the CyPosium acceptance by the end of July and the CyPosium schedule will be announced in September.

Please note that technical and general support will be provided for presentations in the UpStage platform; if you wish to use a different platform, you will need to provide your own support.

Proposals are warmly invited for new cyberformance work (live online performance) to be presented at the 121212 UpStage Festival of Cyberformance, to take place online on 12 December 2012.

This year we are breaking the format of the annual UpStage festivals with a two-part festival. The first part, “Walking Backwards into the Future”, will feature remounted UpStage performances from past festivals. The second part, “Testing 1 2, 1 2, 1 2” will present new works in UpStage and other online platforms. Read more about 121212 here.

Call for proposals: Testing 1 2, 1 2, 1 2

Sound-checking for a gig, a technician steps up to the mic and intones “testing 1 2, 1 2, 1 2″ to test volume levels; in this part of the festival, we are testing many things: a new engine for UpStage; the variety of live performance being created in other platforms; the possibilities of collaborating across platforms; a new format for the annual festival; new partnerships and new relationships.

We invite proposals that are boldly experimental, exploring the dynamics of online communication and interaction. We also invite collaborators from other platforms to contribute to the planning and organisation of the festival.

We invite proposals for live work that is situated online, in any platform that is publicly accessible (for example https://upstage.org.nz/ïUpStage, the Tap, SelfWorld, Second Life, Visitors Studio and other platforms). Performances should be no longer than 20 minutes, and can address any theme or topic.

We are NOT interested in pre-recorded work, or work that only uses the internet as a broadcast mechanism. Your proposal should clearly (but briefly) outline how the work functions as a networked performance.

Proposals must be emailed to info@upstage.org.nz by 12 April 2012.

Please submit:

• the title of the show (it can be a working title);
• explanation of the concept (not more than one page) including the platform that you propose to perform in and any relevant information;
• names and locations of people involved;
• brief background/bios (not more than 300 words each; urls welcome);
• an image that gives an idea of the thematic content;
• contact email and postal address.

Proposals will be assessed by a panel comprising Vicki Smith, Helen Varley Jamieson (the UpStage festival architects) and cyberformance peers (TBA) and the selection announced on 12 May 2012.

Please note that:

• we are unable to provide any financial support (we do not have any budget for the festival at this stage, everyone is a volunteer) but we can provide formal letters of invitation to assist in your own funding applications;
• we can only provide technical support for performances in UpStage – if you are using a different platform then you must have your own technical support and ensure that the platform is stable for the audience;
• we can only provide training and mentoring for performances in UpStage, but a supportive artistic community is encouraged between the festival artists which may provide informal collaboration and support beyond the UpStage platform.

Information about past UpStage festivals, including show-reels, can be found here.

Please email info@upstage.org.nz if you have any questions. We look forward to receiving your proposals.

The MARCEL web site has been updated. The new version now has mailing lists that function properly allowing you as registered members to send out Newsletter items, Project Proposals or Job offers under your own email address through the MARCEL site. Any response will come back to you.

Newsletter items are anything you think of interest to the MARCEL membership regarding your activities or other information useful to the membership. Proposals are projects you wish to initiate and propose to potential collaborators. Jobs allows you to send out openings for positions in your institution.

We ask you to please not to use the mailouts to advertise local events of little interest to world-wide members. Things presented or proposed should concern principally the network space. Online events which could interest other members, as participants or spectators, should be announced and can also be listed on the calendar available through the site. Any such event should clearly list time and virtual address where it can be seen.

The combined MARCEL mailings lists now consist of more than 500 addresses. In the future we will be tailoring the list geographically and by artistic discipline to make them more effective in reaching the right members with your proposals.

The University of Maine is building a new player for MARCEL TV which is temporarily inaccessible. Further information on its status will be forthcoming.

Best to all,

We looking for help in upgrading the MARCEL site. We need to move it to Drupal 6, correct mailing list problems and add some social networking functions.

As with most things with MARCEL, we are looking for member volunteers to donate their time to the project or or to join together to request funding to complete it.

Obviously, competence in the Open Source CMS Drupal would be a requirement. The work would be done in collaboration with the University of Maine where the site is housed and managed.

DIGITAL'2010: PLANET EARTH
12th international digital print competition-exhibition
organized by Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI)
to be held at the New York Hall of Science

INTRODUCTION
Our blue planet, spinning like a jewel in our solar system, has been perceptually defined by the technology of each era, from believing the Earth was flat, to the scientific understanding that it spins on its axis and has gravitational pull, to being part of just one of many solar systems. In terms of scale, humans are too small to viscerally comprehend our planet’s magnitude and the dynamics of its interconnected physical systems. We therefore break the concepts down into smaller parts, collect data and physical specimens of all kinds, and invent instruments to measure and track physical phenomena like earthquakes, tornados, and hurricanes. However, we still cannot grasp the “big picture” of planet Earth unless we read, look at photos, and finally… use our imagination to construct it!

For Digital’2010, we invite artists and scientists to submit digital prints that reflect their perceptions of our planet. Are these perceptions changing as we learn more about Earth from explorers, scientists, and artists? What is the relationship between all living things and planet Earth? What images are evoked by calling it the blue planet or the peaceful planet or the changing planet? What is the human impact on the whole planet? What is our concern for its future?

Art co-juror, Maddy Rosenberg, is a printmaker, independent curator, and owner/director of Central Booking in DUMBO, Brooklyn, NY. Opened in 2009, one of her two gallery spaces and its programming is devoted to shows of science-inspired artwork.

Science co-juror, Patrick Hamilton, is the Science Museum of Minnesota's Director, Environmental Sciences and Earth-System Science. He is currently heading-up the Future Earth Initiative, an NSF-supported set of exhibits and programs that explores the implications of human impact on the Earth.

Synapse: enabling collaborations between artists and scientists since 2004 The Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) is pleased to announce the successful recipients of the 2010 Synapse Residency program - a core element of the Synapse initiative of the Australia Council of the Arts and ANAT, which has enabled collaboration between artists and scientists since 2004.

The Synapse initiative supports creative partnerships between scientists and artists through the residency program, a database of international art/science collaborations, an archived discussion list and the Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage program, which supports longer-term partnerships between artists and scientists in academic research settings. ANAT, in continuing its commitment to artistic innovation, is pleased to announce that five Australian artists have been awarded Synapse residencies for 2010: Robin Fox + Bionic Ear Institute (Melbourne, Australia) Whilst cochlear implants have been remarkably successful in restoring speech perception, they present an issue in music appreciation for implant users. Robin Fox, one of Australia's leading audio-visual, sound and computer music artists, will work with researchers from the Bionic Ear Institute's Music and Pitch Project Team to create musical compositions tailored specifically for implant users.

The collaboration will allow Fox to further his research into audio-visual equivalence by conducting a series of experiments investigating whether visual stimuli accompanying sound can increase the musical experience for the hearing impaired. Chris Henschke + Australian Synchrotron (Melbourne, Australia) In 2007, artist Chris Henschke completed a residency at the Australian Synchrotron, supported by Arts Victoria's Innovation Residency program and ANAT. Following this, he continued to build his understanding of the facility and strengthened his relationships with the resident scientists, a process that has informed this project. 'Lightbridge' aims to create an audio-visual interface to explore the nature of the synchrotron's 'tune' - what scientists call the complex frequency harmonics generated from the synchrotron's beam status and position data - and to make this real-time data available to other artists and researchers.

Erica Seccombe + Department of Applied Mathematics, Australian National University (Canberra, Australia) Visual artist, Erica Seccombe will work with experimental and theoretical scientists from the Department of Applied Mathematics on a collaboration that will assist towards understanding the complex interrelationship of mechanical 3D components of physical objects and balancing visual density with information content. A complementary and concurrent focus on the visualisation and animation of complex datasets also promises to contribute to Seccombe's long-term research project looking at the influence of scientific technology on visual media and contemporary art, as well as producing a wealth of material for use in future artworks.

Meredith Walsh + Pier Luigi Luisi Synthetic Biology Laboratory (Rome, Italy) The primary research undertaken at the Pier Luigi Luisi Lab is an investigation into the self-organisation and self-reproduction of chemical and biological systems within 'origins of life' and cell model frameworks; in particular, the Lab uses random DNA sequencing to modify protein structure and synthesise new proteins. UK-based artist, Meredith Walsh, wants to take this a full step further: rather than relying on random selection, she intends to modify proteins using aesthetic criteria to question the ways in which the design and modification of proteins can alter their architecture and expression and, more broadly, to address the ethical implications of designing new biological systems.

Ken Julia Yonetani + Sunrise 21 +The Murray-Darling Freshwater Research Centre (Mildura, Australia) Visual artists, Ken and Julia Yonetani will use the residency to further their practice of collaborating with scientists to produce outstanding works engaging with the fragility of the environment. Their recent collaboration with the Australian Institute of Marine Science resulted in the work Sweet Barrier Reef, which represented Australia at the 2009 Venice Biennale. The Water Memory project focuses on water as life-force and carrier of the 'memory' of all living entities -past, present and future.

Sunrise 21's expertise in advanced digital mapping and the Freshwater Research Centre's work on water quality and ecology will enable a research engagement ranging from the microscopic to the macroscopic 'big picture'. ANAT's Program Manager Vicki Sowry comments, '…Artists and scientists approach creativity, exploration and research in different ways and from different perspectives; when working together they open up new ways of seeing, experiencing and interpreting the world around us'. Andrew Donovan, Inter-Arts Director at the Australia Council for the Arts notes, '…Each of the Synapse residencies demonstrates an exciting and genuine collaboration between artists and scientists.

They create awareness that artists can contribute to the building of new knowledge in disciplines well beyond those we'd normally associate with artistic practice'.

Hello all,

After four years of research (2005-2009) at the LSE, I have successfully defended my thesis based on a detailed case study of specific aspects of the MARCEL Network. You can find an abstract and download the full document here:

http://denali.asap.um.maine.edu/marcelsite/?q=node/448

The field research took place over a 31 month period from September 2005 and involved participant observation, interviews with over 30 respondents, and extensive document analysis. The overall research project was made possible by an EDS MARCEL Studentship from the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Although much of the field work collected over this period could not be included in full in the thesis, I would like to thank everyone who helped me during the research. Your advice and contributions were invaluable. I would appreciate any feedback you may have about the work. If you have any questions or comments about the research, please contact me at f.lesage@lse.ac.uk .

best regards,

Frédérik

You probably received a blank message from MARCEL recently. This was due to work being done on the site. Excuse us for the puzzling inconvenience.

Submitted by Don Foresta on Sun, 2009-10-25 06:36

We are up-dating the MARCEL Members list and you will be contacted shortly by Michael Zipp from Vassar who is leading the effort. We would like to insure that our list is correct and to encourage members to use MARCEL and its services to advance network collaboration and experimentation in both art and education.

We urge you to respond to Michael's inquiry about your and your institution’s participation in MARCEL. That information will allow us to improve the quality of our information and make our network a better and more effective tool with more services responding to your needs.

The purpose of MARCEL is to claim a piece of the very high bandwidth network territory for art. If we do not, art will be marginalized in this new medium as it has been in other media, with us playing with the tools but not having any impact of how the medium functions in our society. Think of television.

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research has joined MARCEL. Contact, Michael Doser, Senior Researcher http://public.web.cern.ch/public/

In addition to providing scientific talks to MARCEL TV, CERN wishes to explore possible art and science collaborations. We will, over the next two or three months, set up a platform for that collaboration and a method for collating projects over the MARCEL network. When and how it will function will be announced through our Newsletter. You will then be able to communicate your proposals to CERN. Both CERN and MARCEL hope this will lead to a deeper communication between artists and scientists and interesting and provocative projects.

The rest of George Quasha's contrbution to MARCEL TV is now available over the MARCEL site. George's interview series on What is Art, What is Poetry, What is Music and other works can be viewed, full-screen, along with works of Woody and Steina Vasulka, as well as some early network events.

We have also posted a talk by Benoit Mandelbrot on Art and Fractals, a pilot program of the MARCEL project, Global Threads - a virtual faculty in art and science which we hope to produce regularly in the future.

MARCEL TV makes these works available, in collaboration with the artists, as a pedagogical resource for those interested in the history of the artistic use of the electronic media. More work will be up-loaded in the weeks to come and will be announced.

We would like to find members interested in developing a database of materials on the works presented as an additional resource. If you or your institution would be interested in participating in or even leading such an effort, please contact us.

The work of George Quasha has been added to MARCEL TV. For the moment you will find “Art is…” Vol. 1 & 2 and “Music is…” available. More work will be posted in the coming weeks.

This material is available to any user of the web site simply by clicking on MARCEL TV, bottom left-hand on the front page.

The system is not yet automatic for Member up-loading but we hope to add that feature during the coming academic year.

We are still looking for academic institutions interested in building a data base of support material for the work going on line. If any of you are interested, please le me know.

Submitted by Don Foresta on Wed, 2009-05-27 10:27

MARCEL TV has now added several works of the Vasulkas to its existing list. The site now contains 50 titles of Woody and Steina's work available for viewing and as a pedagogical resource. We are now talking to Gary Hill and George Quasha about adding their work in the next month or so. The work can be found under MARCEL TV, lower left-hand button on the website front page.

The present list lacks the completed data on each tape which will be added gradually as the site develops.

We are very interested in finding faculties interested in helping with this enormous undertaking. We feel it is important to add a database of related texts to the online collection making it an even more useful tool. If any of you are interested in participating, please let me know directly, don@donforesta.net.

We are also working with the Institute for Research and Innovation at the Georges-Pompidou Center in Paris to add their annotation software, TimeLine, to the work on line, http://www.iri.centrepompidou.fr/. This would eventually allow individuals or groups to annotate work of interest to them, either for themselves or sharing it with others. When this service is available it will be announced here.

The uploading module for this service was built for MARCEL by DVLabs in the US and is operated by the University of Maine, Media Lab. We wish to express our thanks to them.

Access Grid is the interactive multicasting environment of choice of the MARCEL membership allowing several sites to communicate simultaneously. MARCEL has been using Access Grid since its beginning and several members are operating over it regularly and many more are in the process of connecting. You will find a list of those members at the end of this message. We would like to encourage more and more of the membership to join in.

Access Grid was built by the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago and is available as a research tool to anyone wishing to use it. It is a well-supported program and we are in communication with Argonne discussing how we might better use AG for art. You can find further information on AG at http://www.accessgrid.org/ and download the free software from that site.

There are several existing venues over AG and we have one, the MARCEL Room. Our web site will soon have a link to it which will show those connected to that venue and any activity happening in that virtual space for those who elect to be seen. The MARCEL Room can be found in the list of Access Grid venues under non-profit organisations.

Members are encouraged to open a permanent link to the MARCEL Room as a causal always-available virtual meeting space, but also in order to see what else may be happening over the network. This feature has just begun, so activity is still very new and very limited. With your participation, this should change.

If you are interested or if you have any problems connecting, please contact us.

We would like to bring to your attention the mail out possibilities available to you over MARCEL. There are two categories, Projects and Jobs that lead to two mailing lists, MARCEL Members and MARCEL-Info. The third category, Newsletters, goes out to the combined list.

The MARCEL-Members list is all those authorized to use the site. MARCEL-Info is a list of people who requested to be informed of MARCEL activities. People on that list do not have access to these services. There are approximately 250 people on both lists.

The Projects mail-out is for proposing projects, events, conferences or any other interactive activity to other members of MARCEL. Messages sent out under that category go out under your own email address. The same is true for Jobs, that category being used to advertise a position that might be of interest to individual members of MARCEL.

Under all three categories there are two possibilities for sending out pertinent information to members, either going through your own ISP or through MARCEL, in both cases, under your own address. Messages sent out under your address will not be automatically stored on the site. Those going through MARCEL will be stored and displayed under the appropriate MARCEL heading.

This last service was added responding to a remark from Todd Margolis from UC San Diego that his personal gmail address would not permit such large mail-outs. Going out through MARCEL solves this problem.

The mail-outs are currently indiscriminate going out to the entire lists. We hope in the future to be able to break them down into categories, both professional and geographical, for better-targeted mail-outs.

All this is explained again on the opening page of each mail-out category. If you have any questions, they can be sent by responding to this message.
