Presentation, 20th of May 17:00, Iceland Academy of the Arts Performance, 20th of May 20:00, Hemmi & Valdi, Laugarvegur 23 The presentation will discuss the innate desire for humans to express abstract ideas via various modes, historically, those modes were restricted to tools available in our immediate environment. As we evolved, humans developed new methods of communication based upon tools of our own creation, with increasing quality targeting of information multiple human sensory systems and more recently, communication unrestricted by geographic limitations and non-invasive methods for obtaining information directly, or by inference, from the human nervous system. The presentation discusses various innovations of the last 30 years specific to neuroprosthetic development, current hardware and software technologies, methods of integrating current technologies into viable neuroprosthetic devices for rehabilitation, anticipation of technological growth, functionality and human expression including creative expression specific to real-world multimedia activities. The presentation is designed to motivate Raflost participants to design neuroprosthetic-based projects.

Hafnarhúsið, Reykjavík Art Museum, 19th of May, 21:00 Violin Power When I with my husband Woody rambled into video in 1969, we already owned an audio tape recorder. Audio and video in our view was always a parallel, interwoven art material. The eighties were ripe with rumors that the Japanese were collaborating with American software engineers on a unifying interface where a controller, typically a keyboard, could be connected to play another instrument. The name of this phenomena was Musical Instrument Digital Interface or MIDI. Eventually MIDI could interface anything to everything, including our videocassette tape recorder, and in the early nineties we connected my acoustic violin to a “pitch to MIDI” device. It was fun, but limited fun because I could move the tape only a few meters, back and forth or faster and slower. If I however had a laser disc player and MIDI violin, I could with a stroke of the bow jump to various locations, somewhat akin to life editing as a performance. After performing this way for a few years, I landed in 1996 a co-directorship at STEIM (the studio for electro-instrumental music) in Amsterdam, which in those years was very involved in interfacing MIDI to acoustic instruments. When I arrived, there already was a MIDI/VIDEO software being written by Tom Demeyer, initially named Image/ine and later IMX. In addition to random access, speed and direction, this software gave me a plethora of video effects and memory locations. The clips in my performances are selected as much for the sound as video contend, and are a mix between prepared and improvised play.   OPEN ARTIST A linux distribution of Florian Stöffelmayer based on ubuntu. It tries to combine free software into a suite for creative people. Driven by the fact that there are so many cool applications out there, but most people do not know them, openArtist tries to be a complete package of creative software, combined with a heavily customized and optimized user experience.

Reykjavik Art Museum, Hafnarhúsið, 19th of May, 21:00 Five Bottles Installation, Ellen de Bruijne, Amsterdam Glass objects and a candle are placed on a pedestal. A video beam hits the objects straight on and casts their shadows onto the wall behind. The outlines of the objects and the shadow of the smoke from the burning candle interact with an animated shadow of an imaginary ball, which dances from one object to the other. Like a flea, it jumps and flies from one object to the next. As it lands inside a bottle or touches the glass bowl we hear a sound of something knocking against the glass. more info: http://egills.de
