Coded Matter(s) #9: High Fidelity

FIBER & De Brakke Grond present: Coded Matter(s) #9: High Fidelity Evening Programme: 18 June 20.00-23.00 hrs | Doors 19.30 hrs http://www.codedmatters.nl/event/high-fidelity Workshop: 17 & 18 June Time TBA Coded Matter(s) #9: High Fidelity will take place at the beautiful Brakke Grond centre on June 18th. Expect an intensive evening of advanced presentations, talks, and discussions, as well as a two-day workshop--all led by forerunners in the fields of art and advanced computer vision research. As the official theme, ‘High Fidelity’ focuses how new resolutions in visualisation technology define human and computer perception, and how artists modify and uncover industry standards. Hacked video projectors, calibrated lasers and alternative screen resolutions are a few examples of how artists merge code, form, media and matter. Presented as artistic research or immersive light scenographies, these practices manipulate our notion of space and calibrate human perception. Their aesthetic research crosses and questions the boundaries of the image which have been defined by industry standards. What impact does their work have on our contemporary visual culture? Coded Matter(s) #9: High Fidelity explores how technology programmes human perception, but also the ways artists effectively hack and uncover industrial standards and protocols. What is the critical potential of these artistic and scientific practices? More details to be announced in the coming weeks. ► Keynotes // Presentations • STEVEN PUTTEMANS (EAVISE, KU Leuven) [BE] - Presentation • ROSA MENKMAN [NL] - Keynote Presentation • ELLIOT WOODS [GB] - Keynote Presentation • MICHELLE KASPRZAK [CA] - Moderator ► Workshop: ‘Ways of Seeing (with Computers)’ Elliot Woods will lead a two-day workshop aptly titled ‘Ways of Seeing (with Computers)’.
