Workshop Portable Pixels and Worn Out Sounds @ montevideo (or Netherlands Media Art Institute)
"Kom en maak zelf je persoonlijke 'Sound & Light Wearables'!
Kristina Andersen en audrey Samson vragen de leerlingen hun eigen kleding te veranderen met draagbare licht -en geluidstukken. Is dit de Science Fiction van de verre toekomst of de outfit van de jeugd van morgen? De vraag is hoe je de componenten zelf zou willen dragen: op je lichaam, in je kleding of in je haar. Schakelaars worden gemaakt van ‘kleding-schakelaar’ zoals knoopjes en drukkers of haar accessoires. What turns you on? Maak schakelaars van je eigen kleding, horloge, schoen of sieraad!"

forgot to blog for ADA day!
:S ...so this is a day late...
though she had nothing to do with computers, i would have surely sungs the praises of miss de beauvoir! or the pioneering work of delia derbyshire in electronic music.
excerpt from delia-derbyshire.org: "A recent Guardian article called her 'the unsung heroine of British electronic music', probably because of the way her infectious enthusiasm subtly cross-pollinated the minds of many creative people."
--note the use of the word cross-pollinated! ;)

Room and a Half -- Andrey Khrzhanovsky
"A unique journey to the earlier life of Nobel Prize winning Russian poet Joseph Brodsky and the USSR, the country of his youth. The film, a perfect blend of different styles - fiction, animation and historical footage - creates an unforgettable atmosphere of St. Petersburg in the 1950s and 1960s."

gogbot report
briefly visited gogbot - was somewhat dissapointed (perhaps not so much in the 'gadgets' as the organisation - simultaneous performances too close by rendering them inaudible).
highlight of the festival :
powerplant (In die Bar um die Ecke II - performance with fabulous miniature sets of post-post war/sci-fi/styrofoam scapes)
i would highly recommend checking out their performances!
singing tesla's also worth mention (ARCATTACK)

small frustrations...
its nothing new that terms of agreement one must agree to for software packages (and more) are problematic in the least. it had been a while since i bothered to read one... needless to say, after reading all for which Apple is *not* responsible/accountable, i had a minor flinch upon reading that even the terms themselves can be modified without notice or my membership terminated... etc. (read below)
