It’s already been 2 weeks since I was invited to join in for PIFcamp’s Open Saturday and help participants/visitors print shirts and tote bags with the festival’s image. PIFcamp is a week-long international hackers’ paradise in Soča valley (Slovenia) and organized by some of the most talented and passionate people I know. And on Open Saturday they invited visitors to come around and see the amazing “results” of the camp. Definitely worth attending if you are into hacking!! (also a bunch of other things going on besides hacking, check the website and fb event page for photos and videos!) design of the PIFcamp image: Jaka Rozman photos: Katja Goljat

PIFcamp 2018 - ein Nachtrag
PIFcamp 2018 in Slowenien ist nun auch schon wieder ein Weilchen her. Und doch komme ich erst jetzt dazu, einen Blog-Eintrag dazu zu schreiben.
Entstanden ist die Installation SONANCE GARDEN. 3 Sensoren beeinflussten den Klang der Umgebung. Heraus gekommen ist ein düsterer drone-iger Klanggarten. Aber anstatt langer Erklärungen möchte ich lieber den Sound für sich sprechen lassen.
Listen to SONANCE GARDEN by[ LINO LEUM ] on hearthis.at

Am PIFcamp hatte ich auch die Möglichkeit eine Leiterplatte zu ätzen. Kurzerhand hab ich eine Platte für meine Cracklebox 2.0 geätzt. Das hat auch sehr gut funktioniert. Sogar der Bau der Cracklebox hat diesmal  gut geklappt. Dazu gibt’s ein kurzes Video:
Geplant ist noch ein Case mit integriertem Lautsprecher. Für den Lautsprecher trocknet gerade eine dicke Schicht Pappmaschee als Wand. Mal schauen, wie das funktionieren wird.

Feral Lab Network, here we are.
Tumblr media
We, Eva and Rüdiger, just returned from out kick off meeting in Slovenia and let me tell you, it was nice. We met an outstanding group of motivated activists between the art, maker and science. Over the next years Schmiede and her Smiths will have the privilege to go wild all around Europe.  We also hope that many feralings will make it to our island as well.  
Feral Lab Network is a network of temporary dislocated hubs for research in art, technology and communities. The partners from six EU countries partners will organise a set of actions joined by their common interest into art-science research and contemporary do-it-yourself (DIY) & do-it-with-others (DIWO) communities. Instead on presentational modes like exhibitions and festivals, our main focus well be in connection and organising a series of camps and similar kinds of temporary creative environments, all with a strong emphasis on process-based activities like peer learning, field work, research and co-creation. What these activities have in common is their deliberate setting in a remote environment, away from the usual urban set-up of contemporary Creative Hubs. Partners we will create a variety of temporary creative hubs that vary in scope, format and topics covered, but are all joined by joined methodological starting point. These actions will be further extended and connected via a strong trans-national outreach and media strategy and accompanying developmental and community oriented Artist-In-Residence programmes.
For now let me present our partners: 
Zavod Projekt Atol (ZPA) is the convener and initiator of the FeralLabs.net project. As an organization it has vast and long-standing experience in field work based artistic research all around the world, like the Makrolab, the Arctic Perspective Initiative and Changing Weathers. In 2015 ZPA initiated the Unmanned-Resilience project held at the Gora Plateau and the yearly PIFcamp, held at the Tiglav National Park. PIFcamp is a 7-day hacker-base set in Slovenian nature, where art, technology and knowledge meet. PIFcamp is the event in the Slovenian calendar for technology based artists and art organisations.  PIF Call 2019.
Finnish Society of Bioart (FBAS) based in Helsinki, is an organisation developing, producing and facilitating activities around art and natural sciences, with a focus on biology, ecology and life sciences. The Bioartsociety is the motor behind the Ars Bioarctica program which is a long term art&science initiative with a focus on the sub Arctic environment. The activities of Ars Bioarctica encompass the Ars Bioarctica residency programm, the Field_Notes field laboratories, specific workshops and educational services for University programs.  “Field_Notes – The Heavens” is taking place at the Kilpisjärvi Biological Station of the University of Helsinki in Lapland Finland. It is a one-week long art&science field laboratory. During the workweek, five groups composed of artists, scientists and other practitioners, led by expert hosts will develop, test and evaluate specific artistic approaches, based on the specific questions towards the heavens.
Radiona.org / Zagreb Makerspace organized numerous international hackathons and off-the-grid labs in the nature, combining contemporary practices of maker scene and (new) media arts with innovative use of natural resources. The lab nurtures access to knowledge and sharable cutting-edge practices in order to enhance creative processes and expression for all: the artists, the makers and the micro-communities. Electric Wonderlands Camp will gather international guests – lecturers, workshop facilitators, makers / hackers, intermedia artists, technologists, designers, scientists, engineers and DIY tinkerers. The aim of the week-long camp is to to create environment for fostering development of creative practices in the fields of hybrid arts in the wider context of DIY and DIWO cultures.
CATCH is a recently initiated greenhouse for creative students with creativity, skills and ambitions to be part of a unique, multi-disciplinary environment in Helsingør. CATCH can be anchored in Helsingør's dynamic cultural harbor, where students have the opportunity to connect theory with practice - in a meeting with real needs and premises from private and public companies and organizations that have challenges to be solved. 
Makery.info / Digital Art International is  both a producer and distributor of digital artworks and connected objects, was named Innovative Young Enterprise in 2014 and has launched a new media about the maker movement: Makery, media for all labs, an on-line media published in English and French. Makery, with its open-map referencing more than 1000 international fablabs, hackerspaces, medialabs, artlabs, and other third-places and creative hubs, is the platform for keeping abreast of innovations emerging from labs around the world, the scouting tool of new trends in digital fabrication, DIY culture and knowledge sharing. With its 50,000 unique visitors per month, Makery’s participation in the FeralLab consortium will help to reach an immense non-institutional audience, but even more importantly, will be able to reach places and communities engaged in the makers movement, non-formal education and open laboratories around the world.
and us, Schmiede. 
Calls to follow. So even if we all want you to return to Hallein always I assume that many opportunities and impulses will emerge. 
so a group shot was mandatory ;) I could only escape by volunteering to hold the camera.

super special thanks to Creative Europe for enabling us

Where do we go from here? -NEW - subnetTALK - We. May 13
Tumblr media
Do you have questions about Schmiede20? please join us. 
subnetTALK We. May 13th 18:00 - online zoom  // Language - English
Tina Dolinšek  (PIFcamp, Slovenia)  and Rüdiger Wassibauer (Schmiede Hallein, Austria) will give insight about 2020 and are available for questions. 
We want to shape our future and not be shaped by our fears. What does this new reality mean for us?
This subnetTALK will be an open dialogue and conversation starter on how we want to bridge the developing distance. 
Ewen Chardronnet, chief editor of Makery magazine & medialab (France) will moderate. 
Zoom-Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/join Meeting-ID: 817 1954 1630 Passwort: 378477

More background on Where do we go from here? 
Two festivals want to start a conversation. PIFcamp as well as Schmiede are cooperative and process oriented festivals. We rely heavily on physical contact amongst our participants and audiences. How can we address this new situation? How will our work in 2020 and beyond be affected? What about the future of creative work and exchange gatherings? 
Tina Dolinšek, Coordinator of the PIFcamp Slovenia, wanted to hold a different talk (About the collaborative approaches in new media art production. As an example she wanted to point out these approaches talking about the Slovenian summer hacking camp "PIFcamp”). However Tina's talk was steamrolled by current events and the common question that will shape our future perception as well as actions and therefore our ability as well as potential.
Tina was about to cancel or postpone her talk as she lost the ground on which she was building and saw little relevance in looking back in nostalgia. Rüdiger’s point of view was that now we need normality and what can be done should be done, considering hygiene guidelines etc..., and if it is just for the purpose of testing. 
This is especially important considering our joint Creative Europe project feral lab network (a network of temporary dislocated hubs for research in art, technology and communities across Europe).  Creative Europe is a EU program designed to facilitate and enhance exchange amongst European artists and creatives. 
Tina and Rüdiger started a dialogue about what the future might bring and how we can or should approach it. As we had similar questions and assume that many do we decided to skyjack Tina’s PIFcamp subnetTALK. Tina and Rüdiger will briefly lay out the implications of our current situation, but then dive right into potential actions. 
Where do we go from here?

FeralAIRs - Chun Shao
Tumblr media
Three make it a party. Meet Chun Shao our third FeralAIR. Congratulations. 
Chun Shao is a multimedia artist who is living in Seattle. Currently, Shao is pursuing her Ph.D. degree in Art and Technology major at DXARTS, University of Washington. In 2013, she received an MFA degree in Performance Art from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2010, she received her BFA in New Media Arts from China Academy of Art. Shao is interested in experimenting with the paradox of intimacy and loneliness in the digital world, especially from the communicational aspect. Shao has been making participatory performances, which integrated with wearable technology, for the past few years. She constructs performances by asking audience to hear, touch, and immerse themselves in the work. Her work insinuates a weak-willed mental state of perpetuating the relationships with the world and others. more
Chun Shao will spend September in Hallein to protype an emotive-textile watch kit, which explores the relationship between feelings and tactile sensations.Through the experience of touch, this project will archive a series of tangible emotions interpreted by electronic textiles. She plans to use diverse silicone fabrics, which will feature different degrees of tenderness and form an uncanny association with the human skin. In order to create organically moving textures, traditional embroidery stitches, beading, and fabric manipulation techniques will be explored and interwoven with electronic actuators (such as vibration motors, mini DC motors, muscle wires, air/water pumps, DIY color changing patches, etc.) These kinetic elements will be programmed to produce rhythmic movements and conduct different types of computational behaviours. 
FeralAIR is part of the Feral labs network. Feral Lab Network is a network of temporary dislocated hubs for research in art, technology and communities. Feral Lab Network partners: Zavod Projekt Atol (ZPA), PIFcamp, Finnish Society of Bioart,  Radiona.org, CATCH, Makery.info and us Schmiede.

FeralAIRs - Rohrmoser - APNOA
Tumblr media
The second FeralAIR of 2019 also goes to long time Smiths. 
Congratulations to Claudia Rohrmoser and the artist duo APNOA (Sebastian Drack & Tobias Feldmeier). With Leuchtturm they want to build an immersive space into the Tower. 
Immersive spaces are considered one of the key phenomena of our time. Medially staged/enhanced exhibitions aim at an art reception between museum, event and spectacular Gesamtkunstwerk. The trend towards immersive and interactive art education requires ever more complex technical innovations to create the magic of the moment that astonishes audiences. These technological processes affect scientific research interests (such as human-computer interaction) and economic applications (communication in space at eg. trade fairs or expos etc.).
Claudia Rohrmoser  Video Designer Claudia Rohrmoser was born in Salzburg, Austria. She studied Experimental Media Design at Berlin University of the Arts and Multimedia Arts at the FH Salzburg University of Applied Sciences. Focusing on visual music, her works include animation shorts, documentaries and video scenography.  Her latest works were shown at Salzburg Biennale – Festival for New Music, in the ORF Radiokulturhaus Vienna and the Austrian Theatre Museum. Rohrmoser worked several years as a lecturer in experimental animation at FH Salzburg and as a professor of motion design at the BTK and UE University of Applied Sciences in Berlin. Currently she is professor in Digital Media and Experiment at FH Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences.
APNOA APNOA is an audiovisual collective, founded by Sebastian Drack and Tobias Feldmeier. The artists aim for forward-thinking ideas and strategies in practice and theory, in order to provide immersive multi-sensory experiences and narratives, presented as audiovisual performances, installations and multimedia productions. Their work is settled in the field of performative interaction and seek for an ambiguous character generating synesthetic correlations whithin the act-theoretical semantics and immediate, aesthetic perception. APNOA participated in several international exhibitions, festivals and touring events in Europe and Asia like Big Data Art 2013 (Munich), ISMAR 2015 (Fukuoka), Algorave Tour 2015 (Japan), OÖ Landesausstellung 2016 (Linz), Interlab Festival 2016 (Salzburg), Prague Microfestival 2017 (Prague), Ars Electronica Festival 2017 (Linz), Patchlab Festival 2017 (Krakow).

FeralAIRs - Antoni Rayzhekov
Tumblr media
Our first FeralAIR of 2019 is a long time Smith. Congratulations to Antoni Rayzhekov and his project BOREOUT.
BOREOUT is a brain-controlled participatory visual installation in which the visitor is invited to unveil a secret image only when a high level of disengagement is detected in his/her brain activity by a computer system. In other words: If the visitor is bored enough, the secret image will be assembled into its original form by the machine and can be seen.  As a consequence of such an experience the visitor's engagement and interest might increase, which will eventually cause the image to go back out of “focus”. As a result it is possible the image to oscillate between focused and unfocused state driven by the visitor's tendency to either boredom or attention. The machine will provide a new secret image for every new visitor. The project “BOREOUT” examines a novel way of technology employment in cognitive based art practice, known as Affective Computing.
The term “boreout” is  a neologism, coined by Peter Werder and Philippe Rothlin in 2007,describing a condition related to Boredom Burnout Syndrome occurring in the absence of meaningful tasks, rather than the presence of stress. Boreout consists of three elements: boredom, lack of challenge, and lack of interest. [Wikipedia] 
Antoni Rayzhekov is an interdisciplinary artist working in the field of music, theatre and digital arts born in Sofia, Bulgaria and currently living in Vienna, Austria. He has a master degree in theatre directing and bachelor in drama acting at the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts "Krastyo Sarafov" (Sofia, Bulgaria). He studied jazz improvisation at the Vienna Konservatorium / jazz department (Austria) and computer programming at LearningTree (London, UK) and was an IT consultant for the United Nations Office, Vienna. He is a co-founder of the Vienna-based New Media label THIS.PLAY[2013], focused on interactive technologies and art, and a associate lecturer since 2012 in the Media and Digital Technologies (Interactive Media / Experimental Media) at the University for Applied Science (St. Pölten, Austria) and since 2016, a guest lecturer at the National Academy of Art (Digital Arts MA program / "Performative Media") - Sofia, Bulgaria. He is a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude [2015-2017] - Stuttgart, Germany and Akademie Hallein [2014] - Hallein, Austria. For his works, he obtained awards, fellowships and grants from ProHelvetia, Soros Foundation, ComputerSpace, Ministry of culture - Bulgaria, BKA - Austria, Akademie Schloss Solitude, Akademie Hallein, among others. more

feralLab at Schmiede19
Tumblr media
Let’s go wild. (Deutsch drunter)
We are happy to announce the second half of Feral Lab Network at Schmiede. FeralAIR (deadline May 31st) will be complemented by our first scientists lab. The feral lab at Schmiede19 will sport a group of well seasoned scientists, researchers and designers in the area of human-computer interaction. This endeavour will be spearheaded by Martin Murer, Senior Scientist at the Center for Human-Computer Interaction at Salzburg University.
feral lab at Schmiede will do no less than make “Interaction at Speed of Light“ better.  Our relations to and through digital gadgets are typically mediated by interfaces and computation that induce latency, implicitness and detachment. The feral lab at Schmiede19 will make this all better. Better things that talk back instantly. Things that are explicit. Things that foster attachment to and through technology. Technology that acts and feels like our physical environment. Things that avoid latencies and implicitness by going analoge. Things that interact at the speed of light. Soon they will have told us how they made it all better, surpassing speed of light ruins videos though …. We are working on it.
Feral Labs Network is a European collective of temporary dislocated hubs for research in art, technology and communities. The six Feral Lab Network partners are Zavod Projekt Atol (ZPA) / PIFcamp, Finnish Society of Bioart (FBAS), Radiona.org, CATCH, Makery and us Schmiede. All from six different EU countries but we  share an interest in art-science research and contemporary do-it-yourself (DIY) & do-it-with-others (DIWO) communities. Feral Lab Networks was enabled thanks to Creative Europe in particular and European Union in general. Thanks.

Feral Lab at Schmiede19
Wir freuen uns die zweite Hälfte von Feral Lab Network auf der Schmiede bekannt zu geben. FeralAIR (Call Frist 31.Mai) wird durch unser erstes Wissenschaftlerinnenlabor ergänzt. Das feral lab auf der Schmiede19 wird eine Gruppe von erfahrenen Wissenschaftlerinnen, Forscherinnen und Designerinnen auf dem Gebiet der Mensch-Computer-Interaktion beherbergen. Das Projekt wird von Martin Murer, Senior Scientist am Zentrum für Mensch-Computer-Interaktion der Universität Salzburg, geleitet.
feral lab auf der Schmiede wird nicht weniger tun, als die „Interaktion mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit“ zu verbessern. Unsere Beziehungen zu und durch digitale Geräte werden in der Regel durch Schnittstellen und Berechnungen vermittelt, die zu Latenz, impliziter Wahrnehmung und Distanzierung führen. Das feral lab at Schmiede19 wird das alles verbessern. Bessere Dinge, die sofort reagieren und sprechen. Dinge, die explizit sind. Dinge, die die Bindung an und durch Technologie fördern. Technologie, die wie unsere physische Umgebung wirkt und sich anfühlt. Dinge, die Latenzen und implizite Ereignisse vermeiden, indem sie analog vorgehen. Dinge, die mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit interagieren. Bald werden sie uns erzählt haben, wie sie alles besser gemacht haben werden aber aktuell  ist die Überschreitung von Lichtgeschwindigkeit unvorteilhaft für Videos. Wir arbeiten daran.
Feral Labs Network ist ein europäisches Kollektiv von temporär und regional verteilten Zentren für die Forschung in den Bereichen Kunst, Technologie und Communitys. Die sechs Partner von Feral Lab Network sind Zavod Projekt Atol (ZPA) / PIFcamp, Finnish Society of Bioart (FBAS), Radiona.org, CATCH, Makery und die Schmiede. Alle aus sechs verschiedenen EU-Ländern, aber wir teilen das Interesse an der Schnittstelle künstlerische und wissenschaftlicher Forschung wie zeitgenössischen Do-it-yourself- (DIY) und Do-it-with-others-Communities (DIWO).
Feral Lab Networks wurde dank Creative Europe im Besonderen und der Europäischen Union im Allgemeinen ermöglicht. Vielen Dank.

Background Info:
Feral Lab Network A network of temporary dislocated hubs for research in art, technology and communities. Six partners from six countries partners will organise a set of actions joined by their common interest into art-science research and contemporary do-it-yourself (DIY) & do-it-with-others (DIWO) communities. Instead on presentational modes like exhibitions and festivals, our main focus well be in connection and organising a series of camps and similar kinds of temporary creative environments, all with a strong emphasis on process-based activities like peer learning, field work, research and co-creation. What these activities have in common is their deliberate setting in a remote environment, away from the usual urban set-up of contemporary Creative Hubs. Partners we will create a variety of temporary creative hubs that vary in scope, format and topics covered, but are all joined by joined methodological starting point.
