Steina and Woody Vasulka Presentation February 22, 2010
Posted by admin in : Announcements, Interactive , comments closedBournemouth University and SCAN Models of Practice Series
Steina and Woody Vasulka Presentation
Shelley Lecture Theatre
Poole House
Bournemouth University
24th February, 1.15 - 2.45pm
All welcome. FREE
Please arrive early to ensure that you get a seat
Presenting only at two venues in UK in February 2010, Bournemouth University and SCAN (Models of Practice Series) are pleased to host major figures in the history of video art and electronic media, Steina and Woody Vasulka. They will show their work from the 1970s through to their recent interventions in the online platform Second Life. The two artists, who have worked together since the 1960s, have contributed enormously to the development of digital arts through a prolific body of work exploring the manipulation of electronic energy and the interrelation of sound and image.
In 1971, they co-founded The Kitchen, New York with Andreas Mannik and in the same year established the first annual video festival there. Concurrently they were leaders in the development of a video art programme at the Whitney Museum.
Their early collaborative efforts, produced from 1970 - 74, were primarily focussed on explorations that deconstructed the materiality of video and audio signals. In the mid 70s they collaborated with Geoffry Schier to build the first real-time, computer-controlled video processor. Since then, their work has expanded to include video installations with robotic sculptural elements and live interactive performance.
Since 1980, the Vasulkas have lived and worked in Santa Fe, New Mexico (USA), where Steina has continued her work in video, media performance, and video installation, and Woody has continued to produce work in video, three-dimensional computer graphics, and media constructions. In 1992, the Vasulkas organized Eigenwelt der Apparate-Welt: Pioneers of Electronic Art, an exhibition of early electronic tools for Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria, with a laserdisc interactive catalogue. The Vasulkas have been artist-in-residence at the National Center for Experiments in television (NCET), at KQED in San Francisco, and at WNET/Thirteen in New York.

The following day will be spent on the brand new Media Bus (www.themediabus.co.uk/ ), working alongside experienced media youth workers and award-winning certified training crew.
You will learn new transferable skills, transfer your own knowledge about film and media production to younger people and experience the creative power of the latest technology inside a state-of-the-art, decked out bus.
Your efforts will be rewarded with a certificate of volunteering for the project and provide you with live experience to add to your CV.
