The program, Shaping San Francisco, is based on Chris Carlsson's Talks! series produced at CounterPulse: http://counterpulse.org/fall-winter-talks.shtml But for the next two weeks we'd like to break from the pre-produced format, and turn the airwaves over to folks who are willing to talk about the arts & culture from the perspective of the individual Bay Area producer or collective. In particular, tomorrow we'd like to do a show previewing some of the more ambitious arts and culture projects out there that you are working on, or have worked on. If you're game, or know someone who'd be a good on-air live guest, drop me a line. thanks! jw 415/861-5302 w 415/336-3418 c From joshua at artsandmedia.net Thu Sep 6 13:50:20 2007 From: joshua at artsandmedia.net (josh wilson) Date: Thu Sep 6 13:50:27 2007 Subject: [Pollinator] Local arts & culture/jamming on KUSF tonight Message-ID: OK, here's the show we pulled out of a hat, with the help of POLLINATOR. Thanks folks! Please DO use this list to develop your own projects and programs, recruit participants and allies, and such. If you like how this is working, spread the word and sign up some likeminded souls. jw ----------------- Expo for the Artist & Musician & Shaping San Francisco present ... = | = Local Arts & Culture/Jamming on KUSF-FM TONIGHT, Sept. 6, 10:30p.m., KUSF 90.3 FM, www.kusf.org/ Tune in to 90.3 FM tonight at 10:30pm to learn about some of the remarkable creative and cultural innovations percolating here in San Francisco. With: -- John Bela of REBAR on (PARK)ing Day -- Kwisp on the Holographic Funkalizer -- Alan So of Me-Di-Ate Networks on Project Soundwave -- John Wilner of the upcoming 2nd CounterCorp Film Fest ABOUT THE GUESTS = John Bela of the Rebar art collective will talk about the upcoming PARK(ing) Day. Rebar is a San Francisco based open-source art collective. PARK(ing) Day, created is 2005, is the transformation of metered parking spots into PARKing spaces complete with grass, trees, benches and other urban amenities to improve the quality of urban human habitat...at least until the meter runs out. http://parkingday.org/ = Kwisp will be speaking about a custom built Holographic Video Synthesizer, called the Hologlyphic Funkalizer. The Hologlyphic Funkalizer, projects Holographic Glyphs that animate and spatially transform into each other, controlled by unique sound sculptures and a dedicated control panel. Moving holograms and music become one, they are integrated and inter-modulating. HOLOGRAPHIC ANIMATIONS animate along with the music. This is NOT flat screen 'perspective drawing' type 3-D computer graphics, but TRUE 3-D without glasses. Think electrified Harry Partch-ish instruments controlling Harry Smith style animations in real-time, but holographic instead of flat! http://www.myspace.com/alienkwisp = Alan So is the director of MEDIATE NETWORK, an artist-run creative network that incites innovative ideas and visions through cross-pollinating collaborations and works from diverse artists, mediums and places. MEDIATE's projects aim to challenge perspectives and inspire new and unique experiences within ourselves and the world around us while giving audiences an opportunity to look beyond the surface, and look deep into ideas and works critically, imaginatively and without limitation. ME'D1.ATE produces the online art exhibition, The.ME.Project (www.meproject.com) and the CD and event series, Project>Soundwave, (www.projectsoundwave.com) which was featured on KQED's SPARK and recently awarded Best Sound Sculptures- Future Classic by San Francisco Magazine's BEST'07 issue. Alan is currently developing MOVE>SOUND, Season ((3)) of the Project>Soundwave event series, set to launch next year. http://www.me-di-ate.net/ = John Wilner of the CounterCorp Film Festival will be offering a sneak preview of the upcoming Second Annual CounterCorp Anti-Corporate Film Festival, as well as a look back at the first festival, and the artstic and historic moment they represent. http://countercorp.org/ -- Coming Saturday, September 15, 2007 ....
