    Jonathan Phillips, a Calit2 graduate fellow, is premiering a project, IMMEDIANCE, in collaboration with Matt Hope, another Visual Arts graduate student, at CRCA's TIME FORMS Marathon on April 20th. The project, which will run the entire all night marathon, utilizes real-time satellite TV feeds and online data streams to build a live video mix that is projected outside CRCA and digitized for online streaming.

    The concept behind the piece is to subjectively deal with news as a common fixture in modern life and to question and recontextualize the logic of information flow and delivery. This initial performance of IMMEDIANCE: newsMixing will be an "emergent news event" whereby the collection of information via the web, satellite news, and information collected in the space, will inform viewer's perception of events. For more information about IMMEDIANCE and future directions for the project:

  • Webstreams from Croatia and Japan (Kazushi Mukaiyama and [mama] a Net culture club in Zagreb) [mama] http://www.mi2.hr. Kazushi Mukaiyama, http://www.kazushi.net
  • DJ/VJ sessions (UCSD grads Jon Phillips and Matt Hope; and other grads/students from UCSB and UCSD)
  • ongoing chat scene
  • Techno divas and more live antics

TIME FORMS is a series of events that attempts to demonstrate through various art/media genres an experience in, a perspective upon, and most of all a compelling manifestation of the shaping of time and form. Various film and music events accompany university life over the thirteen moon phases of a three-month period beginning in March and continuing through early June. The series as an ongoing continuum proposes a level of longer-term attentiveness to time, in which the individual experiences of music and film are the more-or-less regularly recurring markers.

The TIME FORMS Event Series is supported by the UCSD Center for the Humanities, the Dean of Arts and Humanities, the Departments of Music and Visual Arts, the UC Digital Arts Research Network & CRCA.
