Software Art – Dextro
NODE.London [Networked, Open, Distributed, Events. London] brings about a citywide cluster of events to ‘mark the ascension of Media Arts as the popular culture activity for London’. March 2006 will see a month long season of arts projects including talks & workshops, installations and video screenings, software art and music events.
There is so much going on, here is a list of projects/works I’ll be hoping to catch a glimpse of. Note – many of the projects are handily clustered at the same venues at the same time.
Clave – Ruairi Glynn – 3 Dimensional interactive datascapes of video and audio.
Stanza’s generative work particularly informed by the structures of the city.
Bits in Motion series – Survey of early computer-generated cinema.
Bodydataspace – Body-reactive interfaces for installation.
Creative Software Forum – Cybersalon and the Digital Research Unit.
B/video_det06 – Dextro – Software video/art.

Yeah, it’s been slightly bewildering on the periphery of all of this, but it looks like a fun collection of things. March ’06; winter is over; London wakes up. Looking forward to it!
