SATELLITE VOYEURISM
Workshop

Hartware MedienKunstVerein at PHOENIX Halle Dortmund,
July 20 - 22, 2007

Public Lectures: SATURDAY, July 21, 2007, 11:00 - 16:00 hrs
(4 / 2 Euro, incl. exhibition entrance, no advance booking required)

Conceived and organised by Francis Hunger (HMKV)


The workshop “Satellite Voyeurism" addresses questions of production and reception of satellite images.

In addition to public lectures by international media artists, committed scientists and commercial companies' representatives of the regions' geo-data industry, a two day workshop program with up to 12 participants takes place.

Within the hands-on part the participants learn how to use a simple antenna, computer, soundcard combination to retrieve satellite images of NOAA satellites, and share own ideas and projects with the other participants. Both lectures and workshop discuss the image quality of satellite images but of course the subject will also touch upon the field of locative media, as GPS, GIS.

Through the workshop the basis for a publication shall be created, which includes documentation about recent media art projects in the field of mapping, satellite images and satellite technology.

About Hartware MedienKunstVerein, Dortmund

HMKV serves as a platform for the production, presentation, education on and contextualisation of contemporary and experimental media art. The activities of HMKV deal, in different formats, with the theme “Augmented Space": in exhibitions, workshops, performances, symposia, publications, Internet applications and in European research projects. The success of last year's “How I learned to love RFID" workshop at HMKV (conceived by Francis Hunger) and the emergence of popular
geographic mapping tools led to the development of the “Satellite Voyeurism" workshop in 2007, directed by Francis Hunger.
