/// SATELLITE VOYEURISM

Hartware MedienKunstVerein at PHOENIX Halle Dortmund, Germany

Workshop Call, July 20 - 22, 2007

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.

The workshop is open to 12 participants. 
Participants will get free accommodation and 
depending on the distance we can partly support 
the travel costs. There is no workshop fee. With 
the participation in the workshop the 
participants agree to actively support the 
production of a documentation (deadline for texts October 15).

In order to apply for the workshop, please let us 
know, why would you like to like to participate,
what's your field of interest, and what exactly 
you would present to the other participants. 
Please also send a short CV. All material to info at hmkv.de.

Application deadline June 29, 2007.

The workshop is funded by

/// 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.
